Especially in light of recent episodes we know that time seems to travel much slower on the island. Three years have passed for the Oceanic 6 while almost no time has passed for the survivors still leftover on the island. If Charlotte/Annie left the island when she was a child and Ben stayed the entire time it would make sense that she would have aged much faster than he did. I don't know if they necessarily are the same person, but it makes sense and I do think it is possible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800457994147539550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-46764165700868024272009-02-25T19:49:00.000-05:002009-02-25T19:49:00.000-05:00The question is, who told Sayid to go the plane?

Dont you remember the guy that was taken out from a nose bleed just like the time travler's. I think that jacob is locke in body form. Maybe locke was the old ship cap.

She's a good 10 years younger than Ben. <BR/><BR/>We didn't see nearly enough to learn what the "sickness" was that Danielle thought had taken over her friends.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure why some are jumping to the conclusion the smoke monster made them sick- Smokey's shown very little interest in anything but pummeling people to death.<BR/><BR/>It's possible that Rousseau thought they were sick because they were spouting things about the island and what they'd seen that she considered "crazy." So she does what she feels she has to do - and Robert, though he really does love her and doesn't want her or their baby dead, wants to live too! So he does what he feels he has to do.<BR/><BR/>It was interesting how they presented the French group's story - but though we get to see events that have been foretold unfold, we don't get any clearer explanation for them and that seems a little cheap to me!<BR/><BR/>Both the story of the French troupe and Charlotte's death were rushed because of the limited number of epiodes they have in which to get things done. As much as the "cap" has been called a good thing, I think we just watched the downside.LolaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361230871983651814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-3362860996502021912009-02-14T21:23:00.000-05:002009-02-14T21:23:00.000-05:00I don't get why the raft is confusing.

I actually think that Miles IS Marvin Candle's son..!<BR/>3. Sharlotte's mind after all these flashes was so confused that she actually lived her memories(that's why every time she asked Faraday who he was and when he insist in then she understand that what she was seeing was just a memory)..anyway,right before her death her mind was so confused that she saw one of her memories while she was on the island and she remembered her past and seeing the same man that she is seeing in the present(Faraday) remind her that he had told her to go off the island.<BR/>4. Ben works for himself ONLY. he wants always to be the leader and he wants thiw island for himself. But..if something isn't right he will help other people(if that doesn't get him off the leadership.)I was sure that he is so dark person because of his father but it could be and because something happened between him and Annie.<BR/>5. Widmore wants the islnad for himself(really?).I think that something happened between him and Ben and Richard that make him to beleive that he was chosen and not Ben to be a leader.<BR/>6. Richard is only picking up a leader for the "Others". I can't understand it,why he do EVERYTHING Jacob wants?<BR/>7. I think Jacob (as he spoke to Locke-HEEELP MEEE--)spoke to the french and make them actually think that his ideas were theirs..But why Jacob wants Danielle and Alex dead?Anyway, it seems that Smokey is the dog that guards the Temple, an automatic machine that protects the Temple, Ben must do something to make Smokey kill someone else far from the Temple..I think Jacob can actually see with the eyes of Smokey but he only can stop Smokey if he wants alive the man that Smokey is after.<BR/>8. I think that Ben and Widmore played a little game which had some rules(they won't kill each other and eagh other's families--Alex)or they want each other alive to be the other man's constant..<BR/><BR/>I am sorry for my english if it is some wrong,i LOVE this show,thanks from Greece..!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-75372729231623042482009-02-13T17:31:00.000-05:002009-02-13T17:31:00.000-05:00I agree with MerLud 100%.

Charlotte should've spoken up earlier than right b4 her death, tho i accept it b/c the writers still have so much to explain on this show - its like "we gotta get some of it out anyway we can."<BR/><BR/>I also think the annie / charlotte thing is a "red herring." it would have no significant impact on the show. with this season, we have officially moved on from the character's individual importance to the overall show's mythology and the character's importance in it. Charlotte obviously aint that important because she died all wack and un-meaningful-like. If you're like me, and are trying to figure out as many important answers as you can before season 6, let's move on from charlotte and focus on this whole "Widmore used to be an Other" thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-12113202751155314642009-02-13T12:27:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:27:00.000-05:00My theory is the monster is jacob.

Theory: Charlotte is Annie's daughter, which would make Charlotte's father... you guessed it: Ben. Somehow Annie was able to leave the island while Charlotte was still young. That is why Ben wouldn't recognize Charlotte. Annie then apparently moved to England and tried to cover up her Island past... falsifying some records so that Ben's dossier on Charlotte in season four wouldn't reveal her to be his own daughter. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that's a stretch, but I can see it. I'm not sure how that matters, how it related to the larger mystery of the Island. <BR/><BR/>Still, one can imagine that whatever happened with Annie really screwed him up good. And the loss of Annie and their daughter led to his kidnapping of Alex. <BR/><BR/>Other theory: the church in which Eloise Hawking operates in L.A. is a Dharma station. <BR/><BR/>Another idea: when Locke turns the wheel, WHEN are Sawyer and company? Will they be stuck in the past for a time?

That would put Robert on a possible par with Christian Shepherd and Yemi Tunde. <BR/><BR/>In terms of "who else" - the obvious candidate would be Richard Alpert. If the Monster is controlling the dead like the above two examples, it would explain why Richard doesn't age.<BR/><BR/>However, one should consider what the sickness involves. Does it just make you amok killer, or does it just make you do the Island's bidding? Was there a reason for "Robert" trying to kill Rousseau?
