A wrinkle in time?
And I thought I was confused before!
"Lost," the mysterious show about survivors of a plane crash, went totally trippy for its second-season finale Wednesday night. I'm still trying to make sense of it all.
At this point, I'm leaning toward believing that the island is trapped in some sort of time-space continuum. When Locke let the 108 minutes run out without inputting the numbers, the island's electromagnetism kicked in, which I believe also resulted in the island suddenly "reappearing" on the same plane as the rest of the planet.
Think about it: that would explain why Desmond sailed for more than two weeks without ever spotting any land other than the dear old island, why a plane or ship has never been spotted and, naturally, why they've never been rescued. And the specific coordinates given to Michael and Walt by Henry Gale may represent a "hole" in the continuum. After all, Henry Gale did warn Michael: "Once you leave, you'll never be able to get back here."
Following this theory, I am interpreting the episode's weird final scene (in its appearance and vibe felt like an entirely different show) - in which three men in some frozen land who are monitoring electromagnetism call Desmond's girlfriend, Penny Widmore, and say, "I think we found it" - to mean that the island has suddenly reappeared due to its pent-up electromagnetism.
It definitely brings new meaning to Desmond's declaration to Locke - "We are stuck in a bloody snow globe" - doesn't it?
But there's still a lot happening on the island. We've got Jack, Kate and Sawyer hogtied by "The Others," who've apparently decided to send Hurley back to warn everyone else not to try and rescue them. Michael and Walt are on the boat, heading for parts unknown, after Henry Gale acknowledged, "We got more than we bargained for with Walt." Does that mean Walt's powers supercede theirs and they've decided they don't want him after all? Or is it all a trap, and Walt is their real leader, as some online have suggested?
And what about the fates of Locke, Mr. Eko and Desmond? Are they dead or has Desmond (through the use of that key) transported them elsewhere? Your guess is as good as mine, but one thing's for certain -we won't have a clue what happens next until October at the earliest.
