Still counting on a Stephen King, Dark Tower reference. “There are other worlds than these.” Maybe an alternate cycle to the cycle of Rolands trek? Guessing. Ka-tet?
In the books, it is a mysterious force that leads all living (and unliving) creatures. It is the will of Gan, the approximate equivalent of destiny or fate, in King’s fictional language of High Speech. Ka can be considered to be a guide, a destination, but is certainly not a plan – at least, not one that is known to mortals. Ka is not necessarily a force of good or evil; it manipulates both sides, and seems to have no definite morality of its own.
A ka-tet is a group of beings brought together by ka. “We are ka-tet. We are one from many,” says Roland Deschain on the day before the Battle of Algul Siento.[1] Ka-tet is the belief that a group of people can be tied together by fate, or ka. It is said that a group has shared “khef” or the water of life. Sometimes the symbol of water is used literally, as in a ritual Roland and his ka-tet performs the night before the battle of Algul Siento. In the seventh novel, Susannah Dean, who ends up understanding ka maybe more than Roland himself, comes to the understanding that in simple terms, “ka-tet” means family.
It appears that the Losties in the off-Island reality do have some memories of their on-Island lives. There was a moment during “What Kate Does” when Kate saw, and seemed to recognize Jack. And she anc Claire also appeared to have some inklings of their previous bonds. I don’t want to spoil the night’s big surprise, even though I assume people have seen the episode. But it was a doozy. And it was great fun. I’m starting to wonder if maybe the Island is supposed to be flooded (someone pointed out that islands can’t sink because they don’t float) and if maybe the Island and the world will be protected if the Island is flooded? Yes, I’m ready for some mysteries to be solved.
I can’t believe no one has considered the idea that The Lockeness Monster’s line about Richard being out of his chains could mean that he’s no longer immortal now that Jacob is deads – he’s free from the chains of having to live forever. Seems to me that eternal life could be a burden, and there are pieces of literature that play up that theme.
Also, Michael Emerson’s line has me flipping out a bit, wanting to go back and watch the past three episodes over and over.
Fishbiscuit is awesome. Oh, and she’s not a fellow…she’s a girl!!
Sayid’s passport is definitely Iraqi not Iranian. Take a look at that one again.
I don’t think Charlie swallowing the bag of H was a suicide attempt. I think he was planning on doing that in the original timeline, to keep the authorities from finding his drugs, and in this “alterniverse,” we just saw that play out.
Sounds that were missed… The soundtrack of the first season episode scene was “requiem” by Faure. It’s a prayer for the dead. To translate the Latin: “Lord, grant them eternal rest, and shine perpetual light upon them. You are worshipped in Sion and to you the vow be performed in Jerusalem. Hear, hear my prayer. To you all flesh shall come.”
Why Faure? Other Requiems use different words. The scene ended at the end of those words.
The next scene had Kate not hearing well… a hint that we weren’t listening to the soundtrack? I haven’t heard anyone else mention this.
Another thing I noticed when I went back to review LA X Pt 1 before the 3rd show – re Monster Locke’s comment to Richard being free of chains: it was entrapment in chains that sucked Juliet down into the hole. And the machinery of Smokey often sounds like heavy chains on a wheel or something. Just wondering…!
I think it should be Locke-LESS Monster, because Locke is not really there.
I’ve always been partial to “Anti-Locke” myself, but I never got any traction with it.
There are some really good theories here…I’m still trying to figure out everything because as of right now I am confused to say the least. Has anyone seen the playlists on iTunes they’re supposed to give insights they are definetly intriguing me http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewRoom?fcId=350619677&id=37
The flight attendant had an Australian accent during the choking-Charlie sequence, but in the beginning of the flight, she spoke to Jack with no accent at all. Any ideas as to why?
Great and useful post.Thanks for sharing the initial results of your analysis. For me,this clearly is a heads up on which methods to focus on to maximise my online success. Really I am impressed from this post….the person who create this post it was a great human.. Looking forward to the next chapter!
