The Lighthouse

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 by Gideon

Questions Raised:
  1. Why does Jack not seem to remember his appendectomy?
  2. Who is coming to the island?
  3. Who was Jack's wife in the new timeline?
  4. What is going to happen to at the temple?
  5. What does Jacob want Jack to do?

Answers Given:
  1. Why do the numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) continue to show up in the pasts of the survivors (such as the plane being flight 815)? The numbers relate to degrees on a compass. Each angle shows a different person who is called to the island. These numbers are entwined with the survivor's lives as Jacob impacts them to get them to the Island.
  2. Are Claire and the tail section who were assimilated into the Others also moving through time? No, Claire and Justin's discussion shows that she remained in 2005 and continued normally to 2007. The Others at the Temple also make no indication they moved in time.
  3. What has Claire been doing for three years? Claire has been in the jungle for three years, living similar to Danielle Rousseau.

Questions Raised:
  1. Why did Ilana take Jacob's ashes?
  2. Why is Jacob's nemesis trapped in Locke's form?

  7. In the new timeline, how does Locke end up in the wheelchair if he has a good relationship with his father?

Answers Given:
  1. How did so many people (48, plus the pilot) survive the plane crash? Many of the survivors were candidates, so this explains the high number.
  2. Why did the "monster" take and then kill the pilot? Based on the blond kid's remark ("You know the rules. You can't kill him.") to Jacob's nemesis, the nemesis cannot kill candidates. This means that the pilot was not a candidate.
  3. What is the Temple? Richard says the Temple is a safe haven from Jacob's nemesis. This is because of the ash.
  4. Where is Jacob's nemesis taking Richard? He took Richard into the jungle to try to get Richard on his side.

  2. What is the white dust/ash around Jacob's cabin? The white ash creates a kind of "barrier" the Monster can't pass through.
  3. Why did Hurley decide to go on flight 316? Jacob told him to.
