So, by Juliet's reckoning...Sun would die...sometime in late season 5, by "Lost" time. Think that's right.

That was an interesting message from paratrooper girl...about Flight 815.

[teentitan]

Yeah the Sun revelation, info about 815 were interesting but the biggest revelation was Jack's question to Sun "Any bleeding?"
I will state it right now Jack is working with the Others now. Think of him as Ben's back-up plan to Juliette. The question and then Juliette saying after she turned off the tape recorder "I hate you" was enough proof for me that Jack has turned. But I think he turned to get off the island to get help.
Oh and could the 'cataclysmic' ending be about Walt and Michael on the boat they left the island on sinking?

[N4H]

When parachute girl says she believes there were no survivors of flight 815 it creates some possibilities.

1) She's lying.
2) The producers are lying, and the island really is just some kind of purgatory.
3) Parallel universes
4) A giant conspiracy keeping the truth of the survivor's plight secret.

[prydain]

I think #4 is the most likely. Although I think the purgatory idea is somewhat cool.

[goldenboy]

I'm torn I guess. I instantly thought again of the purgatory scenario when she said that, but at this point in the series, going mystical-mythical like that...would feel like shark jump time to me. How could they fit that into the tone of this show? Dunno. Same with the Trekkie universes stuff.

I think it may be a yet another con job, deceit...or maybe some of the fundamental mysteries won't even be completely resolved, ever.

[prydain]

Well during the entire first season I thought it would be completely possible for there to be a mystical explanation - however I was thinking everything would be done in a subtle sort of way. Right now I do think *some* things have a mystical sort of explanation, or that they could (like Walt really being psychic, etc), but I think most things will be based somewhat in reality. Maybe the "owners" of the island covered it up. Or was that Dharma who owned the island? I've forgotten a lot of details about Dharma, I need to rewatch my season sets. Soon.

[teentitan]

How about this...the Hanso Corporation covered up the crash. After all this island is their laboratory.
