LOST discussion - thar be spoilers ahead!

[YoNoSe]

I thought the bomb never went off.

The white light was a time-flash. You can't detonate a hydrogen bomb with a rock, no matter how many names you call it.

The only really misleading thing, IMO, was that the sideways began (for the audience) immediately after the flash.

I've read some opinions that think the island being underwater was a blatant lie to the audience but the sideways world is an idealized place for the Losties. So the island being underwater fits that notion.

Ok. I thought maybe I had missed something there. After the finale it seemed to me to be an ingenious misdirection.

I think the convo between Hurley and Miles explained the rules of time travel in the Lost universe.

We're viewing events that are relative to the Losties. In their past, they found the hatch, and in their future they blew it up, if we were to go further into that future, they just skip over the entire time they were on the island and resume at the time they left. After they destroyed the hatch, they jumped right back over the time they had already been there.

I think the bomb went off, but because it was on the island, it didn't work like a regular atomic bomb. Who knows what happens when there's a huge division of atoms over a huge pocket of electromagnetic energy?? All it really did was kick them out of 1977.

If I'm Jack, my experience goes like this, I blow open the hatch, get captured by the Others, get off the island via helicopter, return to the island via Ajira 316, crash back in 1977, set off an atomic bomb, get sent back to my current timeline, then I save the island. I'm never sent back to the time I spent on the island.

The point in time that created the paradox bumped everybody over the time period that would've been changed.

Now that I think about it there is some good logic to the bomb explosion creating the time warp. After all, Locke had already righted the donkey wheel, which was causing the skips.

So you can detonate a bomb via rock and foul language.

On an unrelated note, I'm not one to nag about unsolved mysteries but does anyone have a theory as to why the donkey wheel cave was frozen when Ben went down there?

Apologies if already posted, but this is EPIC.

.

Besides, I highly doubt that the bomb would have a snowball's chance in hell to destroying the island in the first place. Weve been shown that the island is a pretty damn large place, taking days to walk across. That means it is probably close to 20 miles in diameter. Thats 20 miles across of solid rock.

Even a full size nuclear bomb from the 50s probably couldn't come close to completely obliterating an island that large. Hell, one from today probably couldn't do much more than scorch the place. Let alone the fact that they only used a tiny detonator for the bomb instead of the bomb itself.

With something that small (especially considering it was at the bottom of a 200 foot shaft to insulate the blast), I would be suprised if it did much more than blow alot of energy at the surface.

I saw this before, it is very epic and very well done. A lot of crap I forgot about.

Just deleted LOST off of my DVR "to record" list. Tis the end of an era boys.

I'm really bad about taking pics of my work but I thought I'd post some pics of my recent 'Man of Faith' painting.

8 x 10, acrylics on canvas and I made the frame too. Basically finished, I'm going to tweak the scar and add some black paint drips to the sides. There's a companion 'Man of Science' Jack portrait in a white frame that I'm still working on.

 

[tomandshell]

Nicely done!!!
