32. What did MIB mean by "You're too late" just before he dies?
33. Was it just a coincidence that Locke's words "It worked" echo that of Juliet's upon shunting everyone to the sideways world? Apparently not, since Juliet herself says it again in the finale.

i would have to go back and watch it but i think a lot of time supposedly passed between kate goingin the church and then when jack finally entered. even though it didnt seem that way to us. i think the scene was more symbolic than literal. and i agree the sayid at the temple thing made no sense and didnt even need to be in the show at all, it was just a distraction.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, if the temple waters had resurrecting healing power, one would think the waters at the Heart-of-the-Island would be at least as potent--but they did not fix Jack once the omphalos was replaced.
ReplyDeleteFurther, since the Heart ejected Jack's dying body out into the jungle (as it had Jacob's Brother), did Jack's ka emerge as a smoke monster too?
#31: Really! Everyone abandoned Jack and Juliet's son at the benefit concert! Juliet on-call to the hospital, Claire and Kate backstage to deliver Aaron, and, when Jack finally got to the concert, the whole audience had left and his son was nowhere to be seen. So everything was real, but John Locke can obliviate the existence of your biologic offspring?
ReplyDelete:) Fun exercises! Thanks!!
I don't think Jack's son magically vanished or anything, I just think Locke was speaking from the perspective of the other reality.
