Lost Forums

From the first episode of season 4 'The Beginning of the End', there were many things which we found out from the flashforwards, and other events. I just thought that we should put a list together of things that we KNOW is true...

In the brakets are the questions which arises from these facts and aswers that we have gained

So we know that...

1. Hurley gets off the island
2. Oceanic 6 - (6 people who get off the island?)
3. Oceanic 6 includes Jack, Kate and Hurley.
4. There are still some people on the island
5. The 'Oceanic 6' are celebrities - (why?!)
6. They have a secret to keep - (what?!)
7. Jack's back to being a doctor
8. Hurley lied about knowing Ana-Lucia - (why? to protect her partner from thepain of knowing how she died?)
9. On the island, the two groups will last for a long time
10. We know this because Hurley said that he should've sided with Jack
11. Which means that Jack got the 'Oceanic 6' off the island
12. Also means that Jack is not entirely in the wrong
13. However, getting off of the island was the wrong decision
14. Naomi is now dead
15. Charlie is dead, though he appears to Hurley in visions (so is he dead really or not?)

Anything else that you can think of?

We also learned the Christian Shepard's body (dead or alive or impersonated?) is in Jacob's cabin.

The Oceanic 6 are famous because they were found alive after a crash

Hurley lies about Ana-Lucia because they are keeping the details of the island a secret.

Charlie is dead, he says so, but is Hurley hallucinating, or is something taking Charlie's form like all the otherpeople we have seen on the island that can't be there?

Kate might not be one of the Oceanic 6. Jack and Hurley definitely are. The public may not know that Kate is alive. She is still a fugitive from what we know still, unless she got some pardon or something. We haven't seen her interact w/ the public. We've only seen her meet w/ Jack in private at that airfield.

We also know that something off the island happens that triggers Jack to almost commit suicide. From the most recent Flashforward we see that he is somewhat happy, but something happens that drives him to drinking heavly and abusing drugs and almost commit suicide. I don't think it was the person in the coffin either, because you can see that he's pretty messed up before even finding out about the death of the person in that coffin.

Oh yeah, we also know that something spooked Hurley into running away in that store. We just don't know what scared him.

One interesting thing I saw was that when Ana Lucia's partner was talking to Hurley he said "Maybe you met her on the plane or before you got on." Why didn't he ask him about the island, when they were on it? Maybe the rest of the world don't know about the island, and what happened to the Losties.

I noticedsomething else. The man who visits Hurley in the pysch ward says "Are they still alive?" He must mean the other Losties, indicating they are maybe still back on the island/dead/whatever. Which makes me wonder who does he work for? I doubt it's Oceanic unless they were behind the crash and everything that happened. So who?

And another thing. When Hurley was talking to Jack in the last flashforward,Hurley says"I think it wants us to go back, and it's going to everything it can." He's obviously talking about the island. Now that probably means that the island cuases Charlie to appear to Hurley so that Charlie can convince Hurley to get the Oceanic 6 back.

And above all of that, a brilliant episode.

What we really need to ask is: if no one has mentioned anything about the island how did they explain the days between the crash and the rescue?

Could time be going quicker on the island? It has been proposed before and shot down.

Ana-lucia's partner may have asked about Hurley meeting her before the flight because the Oceanic 6 has told everyone they were the only6 to survive the initial crash. Otherwise he might haveasked "was she one of the survivorswho died on the island?" But if they did mention that a few died on the island then authorities would have gone back to retrieve bodies, wouldnt they?

What I really found interesting and confusing was Jack's and Hurley conversation.

- Hurley told Jack that he should have sided with him:

- Why?

- How come Hurley is one of the oceanic six when he went with locke?

- Are we going to see any bloodshed?

- What is the secret?

- What will trigger Jack's suicidal state?

The seond interesting thing was Christian Sheperd's brief appearance. I was one of those who voted that Jack's mentioning of his father was just because he was nuts.

- Was he?
