I also don't think time is going to be a factor anymore. I just dont see them throwing in two timelines going on at the same time and throwing time travel back into the mix.

colburn0004 Wrote:I also don't think time is going to be a factor anymore.I agree. I'd written that a while back. I think we've gone as far as we can with time travel on LOST. I think this season is more about the space part of the time/space continuum, which is where the alternate realities come in.
Quote:Also does Desmond being on the plane and the island underwater not only mean the alternate world is not only without the crash but without the island all together? No influence from Jacob? No Whidmore and Ben minipulations?At this time we have no way of knowing what any of it means. All that remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
Quote:Am I the only one more intrigued by the alternate world and timeline more so then the actual island at the current time?Well, I know I like the New Others and the Temple and all of that. I've always loved Island episodes more than real world ones.

colburn0004 Wrote:I'm confused by what you mean. The way I take it is you mean the people in the alternate timeline...Nope, I'm talking about the characters as we have seen them grow and mature FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES.

To hell with timelines and past and future and alternate realities. These individuals have been tossed around in time and now, seemingly, space, and they are growing and maturing and becoming the people they've always wanted to be but never knew they could be. THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE SERIES, in my opinion.
It's about emotional growth and maturity, and my god, it's taken alot for these guys to get whatever messages they needed to get.
Like Kate needed to stop running and think about others (through her life with Aaron), and yes, she apparently is still running in her alternate life, but we don't have the information yet to comment cogently on the new story lines.
Jack is calming down and losing his need to control everything.
Hurley is manning up and growing up and seems to be willing to take charge now and again.
Forget where and when you see the characters, just watch how they have blossomed since the first episode.
This whole series is about RELATIONSHIPS. They are all connected. We've known that since the beginning. Little by little the interconnections have been revealed, and probably more will come. This show is not just about sci-fi fantasy stuff. It's about people living through and surviving those crazy sci-fi fantasy situations and growing and maturing and becoming better human beings as a result.
