mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-28-04, 01:59 PM (EST) "Are the characters interconnected?" A poster on the ABC boards made this suggestion. I don't keep up with other boards, so I was wondering if anyone else had heard this as well. A PhoenixMons(ter) Siggie   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-28-04, 03:27 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Are the characters interconnected?" The theory this poster floated was that Jin perhaps killed Jack's father. I don't know if it holds water, but it is an interesting theory, esp. based on what PM posted below.

Pensha26 772 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 11-01-04, 05:14 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Are the characters interconnected?" I definately agree that it is an interesting theory. Since there are too may questions, it is a plausible theory.   Top

"The theory this poster floated was that Jin perhaps killed Jack's father." I doubt this because it appeared that enough time passed between Jin's act of murder and when they boarded the plane for Sun to learn English. It seems Jack's father must have died pretty close to boarding the plane (few days before or maybe a week at most) and that wouldn't have been enough time for Sun to learn English. Corvis   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-02-04, 10:39 AM (EST) 9. "RE: Are the characters interconnected?" What I took from the episode is that perhaps Jin is a hit man. If so, then the bloody aftermath they showed may have been only one of many. On the other hand, you may be right--it may have been a one time shot, and Jin is just involved in other nefarious activities. Slice & Dice Chop Shop 2004 I'm still not sure what to think about this idea. PhoenixMons may have the better idea with the four year coinky-dink.   Top

PhoenixMons 4696 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 10-28-04, 03:14 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Are the characters interconnected?" I've seen some talk of this elsewhere as well, though there aren't (to my knowledge) any actual theories that might explain how they are connected. There's a "four years" theory that is pretty interesting and it might have something to do with how some sort of connection. Apparently, lots of stuff happened to these people four years ago. Locke lost his ability to walk four years ago, Sawyer said something to Kate about four years ago, and I'm pretty sure there were one or two other "four years ago" things from other characters...just can't remember them and/or where I read this! Some of the other very interesting ideas floating around are about destiny (FATE, which was the original word on Charlie's fingers - he changed it to LATE in one of the episodes) and then death. These people were all destined to be on the plane. They were brought to this plane for a reason. Most of the people whose stories we've seen were on the plane either for reasons they had little control over (Kate, Locke) or for circumstances that "came up" (Sun - deciding not to leave, Jack and his father's death). I doubt Claire intended to be traveling internationally at 8 months pregnant (that's a big no no). And maybe we'll find out more about the others' reasons as the show progresses. Another theory, which is pretty interesting, is that they are all connected by death - each of these characters either directly or indirectly killed someone. Of course, we don't have full evidence to support this yet, but there are definitely some people who HAVE killed or are very likely to have killed - Jin, Sayid (he was in the Republican Army, after all), Jack (probably NOT his father but a patient), Kate (possibly indirectly?). I think this idea is a little bit far-fetched, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. They are all definitely connected in some way though, according to the show's creators (the characters just don't know it). "Here is my secret. It's quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."   Top

zombiebaby 7356 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-28-04, 06:57 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Are the characters interconnected?" Very cool theory. This is what I love about this show, all the possibilities! Handcrafted by RollDdice Don't Google "hairy toes"!!   Top

volsfan 19846 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-01-04, 07:29 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Are the characters interconnected?" I like some of these theories! However, the thing that I find strange is that all the characters just sit in their little groups/families and don't really try and find out about each other past. This hit me last week...if you and I were on an island stranded...I would be like a sponge asking all types of questions. It just seems all these peeps would rather their past be secret than to sharing it with others! Director of Public Relations for GAWKUR!   Top

"RE: Are the characters interconnected?" well the time span for them is short it's only a couple of days. questions come up more during interaction with one another; though i noticed there isn't really a busybody yenta among them and why except for one, are there no mid aged women ???   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-02-04, 03:36 PM (EST) 11. "Disagree" Consider the trauma, vols. Plane crash, dead loved ones, corpses, monster, etc. Would you really want to be chummy, or would you be in shock? Remember, most of these people probably expect to be rescued soon. Why develop a relationship? It's not like they are in line at the ticket counter chatting about their vacation in Hawaii. Slice & Dice Chop Shop 2004 PLus, we have only seen a handful of characters. For all we know, the rest might be forming a revolution.   Top

volsfan 19846 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-02-04, 05:46 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Disagree" Yeah, I understand about the shock and you are so right. However, I think there would still be discussion if nothing else but talking about who they lost. These peeps just seem to keep everything bottled up inside. Everyone deals with stress and shock differently. I know not everyone would be a chatty Kathy but, I think there would be more discussion that what is going on. I also believe the writing is keeping them from talking and all that because the mysteries have to pan out the way they want them to! Director of Public Relations for GAWKUR!   Top

LAST EDITED ON 11-16-04 AT 11:54 PM (EST) The charactors lives are in limbo. Their paths are uncertain. They're at a "lost" point in their lives. They all have a decision to make, or maybe the flashbacks were those decisions. The unborn is seperate from them, seemingly without choice, regardlessly crimeless.   Top
