But my favorite clue was this:
Ben: "Her name is Charlotte Staples Lewis!"
Charlotte Staples Lewis = C.S. Lewis (Clive Staples "Jack" Lewis), famed author and Christian scholar.
Does anyone know of any other connections Charlotte might have to one of my favorite authors?
That is so smart! Wow.... Never would have thought about that in a million years.
Thank you.
I didn't notice it until my second time watching it and I might not have notice it if it weren't for my knowledge of the "S" in C.S. standing for "Staples."
Yeah...good catch man! CS LEwis...brilliant!
The guy in the coffin may well have been Michael.
There's a rumour that's likely true that if you stop / pause the frame where Jack is reading the obituary, it says its for one "John Lantham" (sp?) from New York who leaves behind a teenage son. I know Michael is from New York, and he's the only LOST member with a teenage son.
Michael gets my vote too...I don't think they'll kill off Locke...even in the end. And Ben...he'll be lucky to see another episode. hehe. Actually...I feel more strongly that it is Ben in the coffin, but Michael is a good choice too.
I forgot about him living in NY. I'm not too certain it's Michael either, I'm just bouncing ideas.
But I would find it odd that Ben would be given a traditional burial. He's lived on The Island all of his life and has no other family (sans the Others); his mother died and he killed his father. No one would miss him (expect possibly Jack
) if Darma--or whomever the boat-people may be--disposed of his body by some other means.
The preview for next weeks episode said we'll learn who one of the other Oceanic 6 is in this coming episode. Can't wait!
What do you folks think is the significance about a ghost-talker, a pilot (ok, that's obvious) a physicist, an anthropologist and a hired gun looking for Ben? What did he mean by "I've got a man on their boat"? He couldn't have sent someone, because he's been captured by Lockes team this whole time since Naomi arrived. Did he ALWAYS have a spy? Who do they work for? (who is that creepy black bald dude!?)
My theory: Miles (Ghost-hunter) will have something to do with all the paranormal happenings on The Island (Boone, Mr. Eko's brother and Ben's Mother appearing from beyond the grave, and of course, The Monster).
I've read that Daniel Faraday (The Physicist) is named after physicist, Michael Faraday:
Michael Faraday was a famous British chemist and physicist (or
natural philosopher) of the 19th century. He studied electromagnetism (one of the supposed properties of the Island) and observed the effect magnetic fields can have on rays of light (something Daniel appears to comment on).See
Faraday effect Now the other two are more of a mystery to me. They seem to be the only two of the team that really wanted to come to The Island (Frank because he was the scheduled pilot for that flight; Charlotte because of her discovery of the Darma-Hydra polar bear). Dan and Miles seem less interested.
The Black Man (perhaps The Haitian's brother
), is the biggest mystery to me. The man who was on the phone with Frank (the pilot) in the flashback sound like him, though (same deep voice).
