LOST meets Gilligan

I finally figured it out! The LOST island is Gilligan's Island! Locke is Gilligan and keeps screwing things up because he wants to stay and be leader of the tribe. Kate is MaryAnn, Claire is Ginger, Bernard and Rose are the Howells, Sayid is the Skipper and Jack is the professor.

I haven't really taken it past that level, but it is an interesting theory isn't it?

So what did you think of last night's show?

Claire was hot as a Goth and Kate straddling that tree was a special moment. Has anyone noticed that Kate and Claire always seem to be wearing the latest fashions? Is there a clothes drop in addition to the food drops?

No one should be shocked that Jack and Claire were siblings, but what does that have to do with anything? How will it be tied together? I think we'll find out that jack's dad is involved with Dharma somehow. It's also becoming clear that Locke was involved with Dharma is some capacity (remember the cult he was in in his flashbacks?).

Did you notice that Jack didn't have any tatoos as he tossed the football with Tom at the end. Does he have an evil twin, or have they removed them as part of some sort of brainwashing?
Maybe Kate, Sayid and Locke accidentally stumbled into Jack's movie "We Are Marshall"?

Claire wished her mother dead and BAM! it happened. Sound familiar?

Who's on the "list"? Didn't they (the others/hostiles) intentionally keep Jack, Kate and Sawyer for a reason last season? I thought they let Hurley go because he wasn't needed. Is Hurley on the list?

This site gives scores for LOST cast members based on things that happen to them...Kate is leading as of last night...

When the one eyed Russian started to say Locke was paralyzed last time he saw him, Rousseau cut him off, so she's definitely an Other...

In the words of the great Rummy, "there are knowns knowns and there are known unkonowns".

In conclusion here's what I think is unknown: Rousseau is an other bent on sabotaging the losties attempts to find out what's going on. The island inhabitants built their shangri la there after dropping out from mainstream society. Locke was in their cult at one time and is familiar with the island. The Dharma Intiative which included Jack's dad and Penny's dad came to the island and conducted experiments which cost some of the others lives. They rebelled and kicked them off the island, only Desmond remained because the experiments put him into an endless time loop which he keeps reliving certain days over and over again. Got it?

And now some observations from popcandy's outstanding LOST discussion page:

I think Locke's intentions are pretty evident, he aims to seek out Ben and "punish" him for making him question himself. Locke has always seemed to react throughout the show to those who question his ability to "do". Even more so when someone questions it and he allows himself to believe them. He hates the feeling of being weak and the people who make him feel that way.

Patchy almost revealing Locke's paralysis was what got him killed. Locke wants to be seen as strong, but feels the paralysis made him weak and would make him weak in the eyes of those he leads.

This is a mission for Locke, he is taking back his feeling of authority and power that Ben stripped him of in the hatch.

The Claire story is far from over. What is going to be fun is finding out who was driving the truck that hit them...could it have been a certain Lostee who ended up paralyzed after the accident?

I'm not sure if the man at the end is Jack's twin. If you recall, he did Ben's surgery after seeing Kate and Sawyer together. Maybe he felt there was nothing left for him with the other Lostees but his way off the island is to "play nice" for awhile with the Others.

Or to take an off-the-wall stab, with all the scienctific experimenting on the island. I'm wondering if the Dharma Initiative were a bunch of cloners and the clones are unable to reproduce...and the clones deem themselves "perfect."

Might explain why they took Claire and stuck the needle in her. It was not to hurt the baby or Claire, but to extract DNA to clone another Jack.

I may be wrong, but was that ANOTHER Wizard of Oz reference, when Patchy was telling everybody about the "magnificent man" (like the "magnificent Oz"), and why everybody wasn't on the list ("you're angry, you're afraid" = "you need a heart, you need courage"). I know it's vague and a stretch, but it really seemed similar, and they really do love Oz, these writers.

The book sawyer was reading was indeed the fountainhead. Which is ironically appropriate seeing the last two minutes of the show. The fountainhead follows 2 architects and their careers/love triangle. Peter Keating (JACK) is a by the books architect with ok skills, and good looks.He lies and changes himself to fit in with high society (OTHERS).He lives an unhappy life although he becomes rich and famous, because it is all a lie. He is in love with dominique (KATE) a socialite with a shady past. Howard Roark,(SAWYER) is an uppity architect with amazing skills and a cold, agressive, uncompromising personality.Howard (Sawyer) is a social pariah because he refuses to thikn of anyone but himself. In the book howard (SAWYER) hooks up with Dominique (KATE), not Peter (Jack).
I hope that im reading this love triangle as a direct comparison to the book (which i loved)
I do thikn it was jack at the end of the episode and I think he's just given up fighting and decided to just enjoy his time with the others, just as Peter in the book would have. I think the others revere him as "Their Healer" now.
