Dear Jay and Jack,

Here's my crackpot theory as to why Man in Locke might be good afterall. If he succeeds in killing all of our friends on the island, they will then get to live their parallel universe lives uninterrupted as if nothing has ever happened. If he fails, their parallel lives will be cursed. He told Sawyer he was doing everything for their own good even though he would likely not believe him.

Love the show, keep up the great work guys.

I listened to the last podcast on 5/5. I am sorry if it was me who sent anything spoiler-ish. Let me know if I am bothering you but I was thinking about Ben. Remember when he had to “atone” for his sin of letting his daughter die? Why did he have to “atone” to the smoke monster if the smoke is the bad guy?

[soreal]

Didn't MIL tell Ben he had to atone his sin to the smoke monster?

[spinaltumor]

Ben said he had to be judged by the monster, it was just MIL who said he knew where to find the monster.

If MIB is working with Widmore, I wouldn't be surprised if Widmore put that idea in Ben's mind in hopes of Ben getting himself killed.
Either way, clearly whatever Ben was told about the Smoke Monster in his past, it wasn't too accurate. He doesn't even know who MIB is.

Dear Jay and Jack,
While it makes perfect sense that Locke and Widmore would secretly be working in concert, I don’t believe it. They may, separately, be working for the same result, but I don’t think they are collaborating. Here’s why; Desmond. Why bring Desmond back to the Island at all, unless whatever he’s supposed to do helps both of them. I don’t see how (and I’ll bow to the writer’s greater intelligence on this if I’m wrong) anything Desmond could do would help Locke, unless he’s going to kill some of the candidates for him. Also, Widmore, if he’s working with Locke, brings a whole crew of people and equipment with him, knowing that those people will die? For them to be working together would also mean that Desmond being grabbed by Sayid (in service to Locke), being pushed into that well (and him living) and Sayid deciding NOT to kill him was all planned in advance. Not bloody likely.
As I said, they may be working for the same ultimate goal, but not conspiring together to do so. On an unrelated note, I think Sawyer telling Jack to push Locke into the water goes back to Sawyer/Locke conversation about Locke’s inability to smokemonster himself over water (if Locke was even telling the truth). As your podcast and the recap posts by Doc Jensen on ew.com are the only sources I read/listen to I am extremely glad I am, so far, spoiler free. There are now 3 episodes remaining. The sideways world is intriguing/confusing and at least 5 other adjectives I can’t even think of. I’m gonna predict that the next episode will be more sideways than island. There are just too many loose ends in sideways world that need to be brought to some conclusion:

Jack Will/won’t he convince Locke to have the surgery? Relationship with Claire? His son? His father’s coffin ever arrive?
Locke He gonna get married to Helen? Have the surgery? Have Sawyer show up to kill his father at the wedding?
Sawyer We left him flirting with Kate in handcuffs and arresting Sayid. Where’s he going next
Kate She’s presumably in jail, can’t imagine she’ll get/make bail on a murder rap. Somebody gonna bust her out of jail? Why?
Sayid He’s in jail too, where’s he going?
Sun & Jin She’s in the hospital, he’s bringing her flowers. They don’t speak English so they probably don’t even know/realize her father was the impetus for all the crap they just went through.
Hurley He’s on a beach kissing Libby. He’s fabulously wealthy and successful, but alone.
Claire I guess she’s bunking with her half-brother now, but ready to pop Aaron out at any second.
Desmond Somehow the LAPD can find fugitive Kate but can’t find Desmond? I’m sure Ben gave them an accurate description, foreign accent, etc. His car
should have some severe Locke damage all over it, not too hard to find his car. In fact, unless Desmond lived in LA, and it didn’t appear so, his car
should either be a Widmore company car or a rental. He’s running around town without a care in the world seemingly.

I’m leaving out the peripheral characters here like Penny, Widmore, Eloise, Faraday, Charlie, Ben, Libby, Miles, Helen, Nadia, etc (I’m sure I’ve left a couple out)……cause I can’t imagine they’ll show up again unless it’s to advance someone else’s storyline. What will be interesting is if we see anybody we haven’t yet seen in sideways world, like Juliet, Anna Lucia, etc.


Thanks for reading,

Hi guys, long time listener and first time email. After listening to your podcast yesterday and hearing several callers suggest that Charles Whitmore and the Man in Locke were working together I started thinking. This makes sense if you think about it. Let's go back to last season when Whitmore had Locke going to each of the Oceanic 6 and trying to convince them that they had to go back. Why? If his mission now is to stop the smoke monster from leaving the island why did he want them all to go back to the island? Keeping the candidates away from the smoke monster would be a better plan, especially since Man in Locke needed them indirectly to get to Jacob and start his war to leave the island. Now going back to the last episode, is it just me or did the whole attack on Whitmore's camp, and their escape seem just a little too setup? Put the candidates into the cages to keep them out of harms way, and kill off his men, then have 2 guys guarding the plane? Plus, how did Man in Locke make a bomb so quickly? I think it was waiting for him in the plane, left there by Whitmore. Then when they get to the sub there's noone guarding it, and then when they start to get into it 4 or 5 of Whitmore's men just appear in the woods behind them, behind trees and spread out hinting they had time to set up into those positions.

Now for Whitmore's motivation. I think he made a deal with the devil before leaving the island the first time. We still don't know WHY he was forced to leave. I think Man in Locke made a deal with him similar to Sayid's. He probably told him if you help me leave the island he can bring back his son, and make it so he's happily married to Eliose, just like he is in the Flash-sideways. Do you see where I'm going with this? This may be the reason why the flash-sideways exists, we're seeing Charles Whitmore's wish granted.

Now I'm not sure how bringing Desmond back to the island fits into all of this unless it was an insurance policy of some kind. Eloise did tell Desmond 'you're not supposed to do something, yet'. I think Charles hit him with the magnetic field to connect him to both timelines. I'm sure when Jake and company link back up with Ben and Richard and tell them Charles is on the Hydra island we'll learn the truth as to why he was forced to leave in the first place, and I'll bet Smokey is part of the reason.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

ey Jay and Jack,

After watching tonight's episode, I came up with this crackpot theory:

What if the reality we've been watching from season 1 is, in fact, a reality where Smoky successfully left the island, and Jacob's mission throughout has been to restore or preserve the "sideways" reality? Though things are far from perfect in the "sideways" reality, there are many indications that the reality that we've been watching for six seasons (a.k.a. "Lost" reality) is tipped more to evil than the sideways glimpses we received:

In the "Lost" reality John's father is a scheming con artist who uses John. Sideways, John loves his father deeply and, given his father's apparent willingness to support his son's desire to be a pilot, this love is genuinely returned.

"Lost" reality Sawyer picks con artist when given the choice between con artist and cop; sideways, he picks cop. Miles makes a very similar choice

In "Lost" reality, though Jin and Sun are married, this relationship only comes about because of Jin's willingness to get very deeply involved with Sun's father; sideways, they are not married, and indications are that Jin is much less important to Mr. Paik's operations (his "assignment" is just a setup to get him killed if Keamy can be believed)

"Lost" reality Hurley is cursed; sideways, he's the luckiest man alive

"Lost" reality Boone convinces Shannon to fly back to LA; sideways, perhaps the reason he can't convince her is because they don't have that creepy brother/sister "relationship"

There are many more examples (Ben, Dogan etc. etc.). Suffice it to say that I think the way all this shakes out is that Jack will somehow be presented with both realities. If he chooses to replace Jacob, then life goes on in the sideways reality as it ought. If not (or if Man in Locke can figure out a way to do him in) then the cork is popped from the bottle a Smoky is free to leave and create the "Lost" reality (let's assume that either he can time jump or that the Island is no longer in 2007). Whether this means that Jack will miss out on his Happily Ever After, or whether he can sit on the Island content that somewhere out there there is a Jack Shepherd who can enjoy his life because he ("Lost" Jack) is keeping vigil on Smoky, I can't say.

As far as why the sideways reality people are getting so worked up about being on Oceanic 815 together? Perhaps Jacob gives them these visions of their "Lost" life as a little extra special something for all the trouble the "Lost" reality people had to go through. Whatever good came out of the Lost reality will be transferred to the "sideways" reality to enhance it. Desmond and Penny will come together; Charlie and Claire; Sawyer and Juliet will have their cup of coffee at last!

That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it for at least a week (mainly because my wife is FURIOUS over what happened to Sun and Jin, and I have to think of some way they can live happily ever after)

Hey guys! First time, long time. Great show! I wanted to get your input on my theory!!!!!!!

If you look at it from an open-minded perspective, Locke Monster COULD defintely still be 'the good guy'. And by 'good guy', I simply mean that he really does have the Losties best interest in mind. Just hear me out!

In my eyes, Jacob is trying to keep them in this island timeline, and Locke Monster is desperately trying to get them to the Sideways timeline. Now that our main characters are starting to die in the island timeline, we are forced by the writers to grasp onto the Sideways, and realize that the Losties are FAR better off in the Sideways timeline than in the island timeline where Jacob is trying to keep them. I think the only reason Locke wants ALL of the candidates to either get off the island or die, is because the only way he can accomplish his goal of destroying this island timeline is to make sure there is NO REPLACEMENT for Jacob. It's not that Locke Monster wants everyone to kill them just for nutss and giggles, they HAVE to die in order to destroy the island timeline and allow the Losties to live their lives in the Sideways, happily ever after.

I think that Jacob is pulling for the island timeline, and Locke Monster is pulling for the Sideways timeline. From this perspective, who is the 'better guy'? The one who made an unknowing group of people crash on a crazy island where half of them die because someone won't let them leave for selfish reasons?? Or the one who thinks that the island is just an island, doesn't need protecting, and will do everything in his power to get them away from said crazy island? You decide for yourself, but my mind has already been made up. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it!

Mike from Piedmont.

I have always thought the rules were very important, and don't hear enough about them. Here is my core theory about them for your reaction.

The rules preclude equals from killing equals. The island enforces this in some way, both on island and off island (Michael and Jack couldn't kill themselves). So MIB can't kill Jacob. Ben can't kill Widmore. And a candidate can't actually kill another candidate (or themselves). And MIB can't kill candidates, since they are potential Jacobs.

The rules are very important, as emphasized by the kid to MIB, by Ben to Widmore, and others. The rules are part of some construct that both Jacob and MIB understand they can't violate as they vie for some victory over each other, which may be the education of MIB's soul or his demonstration that he can't be educated (e.g., show redemption for some past bad act).

The way around the rules, the loophole, is to get someone who is trusted to be the assasin. So Jacob can be killed by Ben because he is invited into a safe place. Jacob has let Ben into a circle of trust, where Ben can betray him.

Other examples. Ben could not kill Locke on island after visiting Jacob's cabin. He could later kill Locke off island because Locke showed his trust in Ben, which Ben immediately betrayed.

The Dogen, Sayid, MIB triangle. Dogen couldn't kill Sayid, since Dogen had risen to the level of protector/temporary Jacob. He sent Sayid out to attempt to kill MIB. Most people seem to think it was so MIB would kill Sayid, but I don't think so. Dogen did that knowing that Sayid couldn't kill MIB, and the MIB couldn't kill Sayid because he was a candidate. It was a test to see if Sayid was still capable of good. That may be why Sayid had to strike before MIB talked, possibly so that trust couldn't be bestowed. Sayid passed that test, and was in line for redemption, but then was turned by MIB. Sayid returned to the Temple, where he was admitted and trusted, which allowed him to now kill Dogen (also demonstrating why he was no longer a proper candidate anymore - he had turned from the path of redemption). And all of the souls in the Temple were now on Sayid's shoulders.

Potential candidates lose their protection when they show an inability to redeem themselves further. Then they can be killed by others. You show your ability to not redeem yourself when you elevate your own desires over avoiding a greater evil, which in this case generally means not stopping MIB from leaving the island.

So Jack was right that the bomb couldn't kill them all on the sub absent intervention from a trusted non-candidate. And that intervention came in the form of Sayid, first for adivising how to disarm the bomb, then by taking the bomb away himself. He blew himself up, but because he was trusted, the act could result in the deaths of remaining candidates.

It will be interesting to see what Ben is about and what rules apply to him now, since he appears to have shown redemption for killing Jacob and his pursuit of power. He may be a candidate back in some standing. But he may also have plotted the whole thing, knowing from long ago that this time was coming from having seen Faraday's journal, passed down from Other leader to Other leader.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Hi Jay & Jack

A co-podworker sent me the following list and I'm sharing. Unfortunately, fellow podworker never provides me with links or names of the chat rooms, blogs or articles. So I don't know if this is copyrighted or not. Enjoy. - Virginia from Vancouver BC


108 signs that you've watched too much LOST

1. Whenever you get on a plane you immediately begin sizing up the other passengers just to figure out who you'll be friends with once you get to the Island.
2. You've gone days with "You All Everybody" stuck in your head.
3. You've spent hours searching E-Bay for a vintage 1970's Volkswagen van. You'd even be willing to pay extra if it were in Dharma Blue.
4. You've been calling you cubicle at work "The Hatch" since Season 2.
5. You ran out to see that Cloverfield movie during its opening weekend because you were convinced that J.J. Abraham would somehow tie it into LOST. Then you went out and bought the DVD because you were sure you missed something.
6. You're thinking of starting an online dating service specifically for LOST fanatics called "Live Together, Die Alone".
7. You no longer trust anyone named Ben, Kate, or Charles.
8. You want to play 4-8-15-16-23-42 in the lotto but you're too afraid that the numbers are actually cursed.
9. "Son of a pregnant dog" has become your new go-to swear anytime anything ever goes wrong.
10. You named your dog Vincent but you only acknowledge him once a year.
11. You've had the awkward conversation with your closest friend about if you two should be "Constant" buddies, just in case.
12. You always capitalize LOST whenever you type it, just to show the proper respect.
13. You no longer say "goodbye" to people - instead you go with "see you in another life, brutha"
14. You do this even when you're talking to a woman.
15. You firmly believe that after all she's done to Jack and Sawyer, its only fair for alternate reality Kate to end up in a jail cell with Juliette. They can pass the time by sighing, making stupid faces, and never answering each other's question.
16. Commercials make you violent.
17. You've tried to start calling every "Elizabeth" you know "Libby", but so far none of them are going for it.
18. You've been banned from calling the Maybelline Customer Service line after making too many calls about when the Richard Alpert eyeliner and age defying skin cream are going to be released.
19. When you're caught doing something wrong, you blame it on your imaginary friend, Dave.
20. You've played the Michael drinking game by taking a sip every time he said "my boy" and chugging every time he yelled "WAAAALLLLTTTT!!" ...
21. ... and by the end of Season 2,you needed a new liver.
22. You've had heated debates over what to call The Smoke Monster now that he is in Locke form - anti-Jacob, Smocke, Fake Locke, Faux Locke, Flocke, Locke Monster, Man in Black, MIB, The Talented Mr. Shape Shifty, and for all my Fantasy Football Friends- Steven Jackson (Because apparently he can do anything but cross a pylon).
23. Whenever you're scared you let the fear in, count to five, and then go to commercial.
24. Unexpectedly seeing an actor from LOST in a movie, completely takes you out of the movie... this happened the other day when I saw Farrady in Saving Private Ryan. Had to shut it off and pop in Season 4.
25. You think the two saddest words in the English language are "Bad Robot".
26. Whenever you're losing an argument, you just yell "Well.... that's what Jacob told me!!!!" and then storm off.
27. You've become quite the TV Snob, often referring to other shows as "trying to be LOST, but not pulling it off" ... yeah, Flash Forward, I'm looking at you.
28. You would have paid big money to see Drive Shaft open up for Daniel Farrady on piano.
29. You don't understand why the media made such a big deal about Captain Sully crashing into the Hudson. I mean Lapidus has crash landed a plane AND a helicopter in the past 3 seasons and he hasn't lost a major character yet.
30. You're wrote "Quarantine" on your front door just to keep away solicitors.
31. You can't help but hum "Make Your Own Kind of Music" every time you wash the dishes, clean up the house or ride an exercise bike.
32. You no longer mistake coincidence for fate. Thanks for the advice Mr. Eko.
33. You started an indie band just so you could use the name "Time Traveling Bunnies".
34. Instead of going grocery shopping you prefer to just wait around for the next Dharma supply drop. Mmmm - Dharma Ranch Dressing.
35. You petitioned ABC to somehow work Emanuel Lewis into the show. What?? They managed to work in Chech Marin, Billy Dee Williams and Peggy Bundy - is Webster really so ridiculous? He could have played one of the kids in of Walt's class. See - Done.
36. You'll sit through an episode of another show that you normally don't watch, if there's a guest appearance by an actor from LOST. Ben played a pedophile on a "Law & Order" rerun the other night. Honestly, he was less creepy as a kid toucher.
37. And you even considered watching the Vampire Diaries just to see what Boone was up to.
38. You question your relationships with anyone who would dare call you on a Tuesday night between 9-10 pm. Seriously, Grandma .... it's like you don't even know me.
39. You can't wait for them to make The Sixth Sense II starring Hurley. He sees dead people.
40. Even though you really going to miss LOST, you hope ABC resists the temptation in a few years to bring back Walt, Aaron, Ji Yeon Kwon, Charlie Hume, Screech, and Mr. Belding its new half hour sitcom - LOST: The New Class.
41. You made your own personal "Jesus Stick" by taking a Sharpie and writing Scripture quotes on a wiffle ball bat.
42. You always oversleep on Wednesday mornings because you just had to watch the previous night's episode twice before you could even think about going to bed...
43. ... and then when your boss tells you that you can't keep showing up late on Wednesdays you just yell "Don't Tell me what I can't do!!!!"
44. You call your "brutha" more often just so you can work on your Desmond impression.
45. Once a week, you ask the guy at your 7-11 if they carry Apollo Bars. He no longer thinks its funny.
46. You immediately feel a sense of superiority over anyone that says that they "started watched LOST, but then couldn't get into it". It's ok stupid - "Dancing with The Stars" comes on at 8pm.
47. You just assume that every statue of the Virgin Mary contains several bags of heroin.
48. You actually know what one snowman said to the other.
49. Since you never bothered learning the names of neighbor's kids, you just call them Emma and Zach.
50. You actually understand how to play Backgammon now.
51. Knowing that you had no intention of ever seeing her again, you once told a girl in a bar that your name was Henry Gale. And you were just visiting from Minnesota.
52. As best you can tell, nothing bad ever happens unless its raining.
53. You've lied about your work schedule so no one even considers you might be able to get together on a Tuesday night.
54. Even though it's a completely insignificant detail, you're still a little frustrated that it took so long for the writers of the show to even acknowledged that Daniel and Penny are half-siblings.
55. Your launching a line of Father's Day cards thanking our Dad's for not being as evil as
Christian Sheppard, Roger Linus, Anthony Cooper or Mr. Paik. My personal favorite "Dear Dad - thanks for never stealing my kidney"
56. By season 6 you were so tired of thinking about the show that you stopped learning the names of new characters - instead you just called them the Genghis Khan guy, John Lennon, and Ana Lucia II.
57. You bought the Korean version of that Rosetta Stone language software just to be sure you understood everything the Kwon's were saying in Season 1.
58. You did the same thing when you learned that the Others all spoke Latin.
59. Each week you spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday developing the "perfect theory" for what is going on which you proceed to tell anyone who will listen all weekend long. This theory is usually debunked in the first 5 minutes of the following week's episode.
60. Even though it would mean being held captive, brainwashed and ultimately shot by mercenaries, you would still probably date Alex.
61. After listening to Claire whine on and on and on about her baby for 6 seasons, you're considering moving to Sydney to open an abortion clinic. Sorry Aaron - your mom is annoying.
62. In order to save time when you're talking to your buddies, you describe your beautiful, but rude and ultimately more trouble than she's worth, blind date as being "Shannon-ish".
63. You have Charlie style withdrawal symptoms every time they take one of those midseason episode breaks. By the way - there's a repeat on April 27th. d**n!!
64. After years of studying Sawyer, Ben, and Anthony Cooper, you're fairly confident that you've become a much better liar.
65. You wrote a letter to ESPN suggesting that their baseball announcers start using the phrase "Moved the Island" anytime a team miraculously comes back, ties a game, and forces extra innings. They have yet to respond.
66. You check NetFlix regularly hoping that they finally release Season I & II of Exposé (starring Nikki) on DVD.
67. You've adopted the code phrase "Tell my sister I love her" to let the person on the other end of the phone know that you're not alone and you can't speak freely. (I know this one is really obscure, but I couldn't think of another way to get Naomi on the list).
68. Forget Jack & Kate or Sawyer & Kate or even Daniel & Charlotte, the couple that you wanted to see get together was Goth Claire and Pierced Punk Miles... they would have been so cool to hang with.
69. You pause the DVR and run to the fridge anytime there's a scene with Hurley eating something.
70. After seeing how smiling, fresh faced, pregnant, 20-something Danielle Rousseau turned into the Crazy French Chic, you know have a deeper appreciation for conditioner and daily face wash.
71. While they seem like a sweet enough couple, you feel a little cheated when you wait all week only to get a Rose & Bernard episode.
72. You started a book club based solely on the books Sawyer's been shown reading.
73. You were upset to learn that your new iPad didn't come with an Orientation video hosted by Dr. Marvin Candle. Namaste.
74. You are still puzzled by the fact that Daniel, son of Charles Widmore and Eloise Hawkins and who grew up in England has no accent. Meanwhile, Charlotte who spent at least some of her childhood living on the Island sounds like Mary F'n Poppins.
75. Politics aside, you liked President Obama more once you learned that The State of the Union Address wasn't going to conflict with the Season 6 Première.
76. You get more "OMG" and "WTF" texts on a Tuesday night than most twelve year old girls get all month long.
77. If you had to, you know how to get yourself a fish biscuit.
78. Much like Desmond and the button, you feel like if you don't make a LOST reference every 108 minutes, the world is going to end.
79. You flirt with women while on line at Starbuck's in the hopes that by the end of the conversation they GIVE YOU A BOAT!!! What?? It worked for Desmond.
80. You're designing a casket that's strong enough to stay closed during a plane crash - I'm just saying, it would have saved Jack a lot of torment.
81. You get extra excited for the episodes that start off without the "Previously on LOST" clips because that means 45 extra seconds of episode.
82. You think that naming your pet lab rat after your mother is a sweet gesture.
83. Based on your limited experience, you assume that all French Scientists are also models/GAP dancers ... seriously go back a watch the Rousseau flashback episode.
84. You sort of resent ABC for putting Juliette, Charlie and Penny in other shows before LOST is finished.
85. At the very least, Penny should have the same accent in both shows.
86. You no longer shop at Home Depot because they were no help the last time you were in there. It was real simple - all I wanted were blast doors in case of a lockdown, a swinging pendulum in the living room, and a Donkey Wheel down in your basement. What was so hard about that? Screw it - I'm going to Lowe's.
87. The writes strike a few years ago nearly landed you in therapy.
88.When the phone rings at 10:04 pm on a Tuesday night, you don't even bother saying hello to the other person - you just jump right into processing your LOST feelings.
89. You were a little too excited when you saw there was an episode entitled "Meet Kevin Johnson". As it turns out , it was an episode about Michael and had nothing to do with the former Phoenix Sun. There wasn't even a cameo by Dan Majerle.
90. You won't even board a plane if one of the flight attendants is names Cindy.
91. You learned more about religion from Mr. Eko than you did in 12 years of Catholic School.
92. Throughout this list, you've been hesitant to make any comments about Sayid for fear of what he what do to you if it ever got back to him. Seriously, he's been a bad ass since Day 1 and now he's an evil, zombie bad ass - no thanks, we're good. Moving on.
93. In the spirit of Frogurt, Dr. Arzt, Nikki, Paolo, and Phil the Dharma Security Guard you've started making "expendable friends" ... this way if so has to die, you still keep the core group intact. (And now some of you understand why you have recently received random friend requests from me after us not talking for 10 years. Sorry.)
94. You're thinking about going to medical school, because if an impulsive, often irrational dumb ass like Jack can become a world renowned spinal surgeon - then why not you?
95. Whenever they introduce a new middle aged, brunette woman to the show, you immediately jump to the conclusion that she MUST be Little Ben's Dharma girlfriend Annie all grown up.
96. You ended your last relationship by drugging your partner and yelling "I don't do Taco Night!!!"
97. You now know how to play "Good Vibrations" on the keypad of your phone.
98. Despite her previous work experience you still wouldn't hire Eloise Hawkins to work in your jewelry store. Seriously, telling the customers that it's not their destiny to buy the ring isn't going to move merchandise.
99. You tried to communicate with the dead by sitting in your room with a Dust Buster running - so far no luck, but it did rearrange the pictures on the wall. Hmmm - interesting.
100. You broke your DVR by playing all the scenes with The Smoke Monster, frame-by-frame just so you could make out the hidden images in the flashes.
101. You assumed that everyone knew that there were hidden images in the flashes.
102. You will never, ever, ever ,ever ... carry dynamite.
103. While playing Trivial Pursuit, you confidently answered the question "What were the first names of the members of The Jackson Five" by yelling out Michael, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and GERONIMO. D'oh!!!
104. Whenever you meet a potential new dating possibility, you start calling them "A Candidate" and write their name on your wall.
105. A few weeks later, when you learn that they're already seeing someone, you cross them out and move on.
106. You really didn't know how to feel when alternate reality Sawyer hooked up with alternate reality Charlotte. So many people in so many universes were betrayed by that one action.
107. Your last six computer passwords have all been Dharma stations.
108.And finally, something you've been thinking the entire time that you've been reading this list -- you actually felt the need to make up a list of signs that you've watched too much LOST and sent it to all your friends.

[spinaltumor]

Haha, funny stuff!
