  Prepare for ‘Lost’ by Theorizing Madly on ‘Mystery Tales,’ Dharma, and the Casimir Effect From: Vulture -- Entertainment, Music, Culture, Theater, Movies, Art -- New York Magazine Blog at 12:00 pm Last week's episode of Lost was a real doozy, raising questions about Locke's destiny and the "secondary protocol" Keamy pulled out of a safe shortly before he killed the doctor and shot the captain. Accordingly, there was much for the curious minds of bloggers and fans to ponder. For example, why were Ben and Locke both born prematurely to mothers named Emily? And is Matthew Abaddon a grown-up version of Walt? Check out the above clip from tonight's episode — in which Jack looks ready to bust open his stitches and Faraday is freaking out about the Orchid station — and peruse our summaries of the labyrinthine network of Lost-obsessed minds. • Remember how Christian Shephard told Locke that in order to save the island he’d have to move it, and you were like, “Pffft, good one! No way that’s going to happen!” Well apparently it can, according to one physics expert, thanks to the island’s electromagnet, the Dharma Initiative’s Orchid station, and something called the Casimir Effect. [Popular Mechanics] • The Mystery Tales comic shown to Locke as a child offers some juicy hints at the future, like the city floating above another city on a cloud and the all-important answer we all seek: “What was the secret of the mysterious ‘hidden land?’” [TV Squad] • It seems like different forces are coming together that will turn Locke into a mass murderer of sorts. Also, since we know that Locke is older than Ben and was meant to be on the island, that must mean that Ben was the Plan B for leadership. Unless Ben really is the chosen one and various parties have been trying to get Locke there all his life just to overthrow Ben. [EW] • Ben and Locke have so much in common — both were born premature to mothers named Emily, both were nerdy kids, both hated their fathers, both seem to possess a special psychic connection with the island — but what does it all mean? Perhaps it’s just a mirroring of the parallels between ancient Egyptian and Greek societies. Is Ben the Apollo to Locke’s Horus? [Powell’s Books] • If Ben and Locke aren’t actual brothers, then they are certainly fraternal in a spiritual sense. Does that mean Ben’s attempt to kill Locke makes for a nice Cain and Abel reference? And is evil and scary Abaddon a future, grown-up version of Walt, even though he appears in Locke’s past? [Dark UFO] • The test Richard Alpert gives young Locke is similar to the one used to pick the Dalai Lama’s successor. Does that mean the island is some sort of refuge for gifted children? Also, given the show’s timeline, it seems unlikely that Anthony Cooper was actually Locke’s father; he would have been 79 when he died, which is significantly older than the actor playing the character. [EYE M SICK] • The logo on the cover of the “secondary protocol” Keamy consults is proof of a link between the Dharma Initiative and Charles Widmore. Was he a principal investor? [Long Live Locke] • Locke should have mentioned to Ben that he didn’t actually speak with Jacob, because Christian is shady and Claire was flashing the evil grin. [Magic Lamp] • The ghost of Christian Shephard isn’t wearing his nice duds anymore. Does that mean he’s EVIL? [Lost Blog/Film Fodder] —Michael Alan Connelly Celebrity Gossip No Comments »

  Perdidos 4x11: Locke, El Elegido, podría ser la causa del accidente de avion

  http://yonomeaburro.blogspot.com/2008/05/perdidos-4x11-locke...
  4 days ago in YO NO ME ABURRO · Authority: 49

  Como esta semana he ido con retraso con respecto al episodio 11 (sólo quedan dos más y sacabó! OMG!) resumo con preguntas sin respuesta este post. Este episodio de Perdidos es uno de los que más pistas ha acumulado por segundo, algunas sin ningún sentido hasta, suponemos, la próxima temporada. Ahí va la retahíla de interrogantes del fin de semana Lost. El comic. Walt leía un cómic que era de Hugo, si no me equivoco. Y a Locke le enseñan un cómic, el de la tierra escondida, que no elige. Pero también dibuja como Walt y tiene visiones (el dibujo del humo negro). Walt ayudó a Locke cuando Ben le disparó. ¿Hay más conexiones entre Ben y Walt?Locke quería ser deportista de adolescente pero de niño no elige en guante de beisbol. ¿Por qué? Richard (el que no envejece porque supongo viaja en el tiempo en cualquier caso) busca a Locke, el milagro, el superdotado ¿porque es la reencarnación de alguien? ¿porqué puede ser El elegido? Me gustaría pensar en esta segunda opción. Lo dice Hugo: somos los elegidos porque somos los que estamos más locos. Y aunque la madre de Locke se llama igual que la madre de Ben, Emily, no quiero pensar que sea uno la reencarnación de otro o algo así.En el episodio se habla continuamente del Destino. Locke estaba destinado a salvar la isla, por eso Richard fue a confirmarlo, y tal vez el hecho de coger el cuchillo le confirmase que lo era, aunque saliese corriendo. Y estaba destinado, según su profesor, a ser químico, aunque él no quisiese. Ésa hubiera sido la vía rápida para llegar a la isla pero supongo que Locke se negó, pero el destino es el destino. ¿Podría el avión estrellarse por culpa de Locke? Pero el único personaje que parecía no estar destinado a cogerlo era Hugo... ¿por qué? Hugo es el que los lleva a la cabaña. Ben deja el mando a Locke porque Ben "pensaba que era el Elegido". Y da a entender que si llega a saber que la isla quiere a Locke vivo no le hubiera disparado. Entonces ¿quién le ordena dispararle?A Locke no hay quien lo mate como tampoco a Michael. Hasta que no cumplan su misión, la isla impide la muerte. Entonces ¿cómo no es capaz la isla de salvarse, de "esconderse" sola?Locke ve a Horace en un sueño (y está muerto). Sin embargo ve al doctor Shepard despierto, como Claire. ¿Es la cabaña o sólo Locke puede ver a los muertos? ¿Por qué? ¿Qué le pasa a Claire? ¿Ha muerto, está drogada, no es ella? Si son fantasmas, esto ya es la repanocha. ¿Quién es el padre de Locke que doblaba en edad a su madre? ¿Qué saben para querer matar a Locke antes de nacer y quién quiere matarlo?Abbadon, el enfermero, aconseja a Locke el viaje a Australia "para encontrarse". ¿Quién era este tío antes de hacer su propio viaje y trabajar para Widmore?Que Locke elija el cuchillo ¿le demuestra a Richard que Locke estará del lado de Widmore? Porque también eligió a Ben, para su causa. Abbadon le anima a ir a Australia con su cuchillo. Abbadon trabaja para Widmore. Locke quiere a Hugo cerca. Pero Hugo se arrepintió de no haberse ido con Jack. ¿Por qué?¿Por qué se ve en la taquilla de Locke la portada del disco de Geronimo Jackson, el grupo ficticio que escuchaban en la escotilla? ¿Estuvo Locke en la escotilla? ¿Vio el humo negro? ¿Por qué no lo recuerda? Podría ser como cuando Faraday lloraba al ver la tele y no sabía porqué.¿Quién o qué es Jacob? Christian Shepard queda descartado.Mover la isla... ¿como se mueve la cabaña?¿Porqué la hermanastra de Locke es tan cabrona que le tira el juego del Backgammon? ¿Tendrá importancia ella o su hermano pequeño? ¿Porqué todo el mundo juega ahora? hemos visto el Risk, ahora el Backgammon... ¿se está convirtiendo Perdidos en un juego? ¿Porqué hay los mismos cuadros de pájaros en la casa de la madre de Locke y en la de su casa de adopción?Locke es adoptado como quiso hacer Claire con Aaron. Pero a Claire le animaron a no dar en adopción a Aaron, tenía que criarlo ella. ¿Locke y Aaron tienen algo en común?¿Tiene algo que ver que Horace construyera la cabaña como si fuera una iglesia y Ecko hiciera también lo mismo?Keamy, que es el más cabrón, nos descubre un plan B. Hay otro protocolo, es decir, va a hacer lo que le salga de la polla. Lleva un aparato en el brazo que bien podría ser para saber en qué tiempo se mueve, si lo hace la isla o para parar el humo negro o atravesar el campo electromagnético que rodea el poblado.El médico sigue vivo en el barco y vemos cómo lo mata Keamy. Había llegado a la isla un día antes. ¿Viajó al futuro?Las ideas de FilmFodder.El análisis en Entertainmnet Weekly de Jeff Jensen.Todas las curiosidades y fotos en español gracuas a PerdidosLostClub.Desde aquí las dos promos del próximo episodio subtituladas. ¡Que llegan a tierra!Mi repaso a los anteriores episodios.

  Note su 4×11 ?Cabin Fever?

  http://www.lostmania.com/1266/note-su-4x11-cabin-fever/
  5 days ago in LostMania: il Blog italiano non ufficiale sulla serie Lost · Authority: 75

  Bell’episodio, dedicato a Locke e al profondo collegamento tra il suo passato e la mitologia dell’isola, che prepara il terreno per la prima parte di finale di stagione della prossima settimana. Puntata di ritorni, tra Horace Goodspeed sull’isola, e Abaddon e Alpert nel passato di Locke. Ritorno anche al capanno di Jacob, al cui interno Locke trova il padre di Jack, e ritorno all’isola da parte di Sayid, per riportare a casa i suoi compagni e di Keamy, con ben altre intenzioni. Ora, naturalmente sono molte le domande lasciate in sospeso, dalla sorte di Claire fino ad arrivare alla enigmatica frase finale di Locke “He wants us to move the island“. Tra gli easter eggs, oltre agli elementi del test per il giovane John Locke, il ritorno dei Jeronimo Jackson e la musica di Buddy Holly, morto in un incidente aereo, la mappa per il capanno di Jacob e il protocollo secondario della nave, a marchio Dharma.

  Lost - Locke chosing objects that he owns

  http://groc.blogspot.com/2008/05/lost-locke-chosing-objects-...
  6 days ago in Groc's various musings · Authority: 10

  Gah. So in the last episode of Lost 'Cabin Fever' we see the eternally unaging Alpert visit Locke and present him with a series of objects from which he has to chose those that 'already belong to him'. Of course the Lost blogsters and even the official blogster at EW are inadvertently showing their complete ignorance of Tibetan Buddhism. You see, upon the death of the old Dalai Lama the wise old head monks of the Monastery use various mystical methods - reading signs and portents etc. to set out into the world to seek out the boy which contains the reincarnated soul of the Dalai Lama. Once they find the child they think is he -the final test is to present him with a series of objects and ask him to chose the personal belongings he remembers owning from his previous life. So Locke is a little Buddha then - which could well explain his baldness and his mystical leanings. It also explains why he's so messed up - the poor dear has had his pre-destiny severely messed about with...
