I have’nt seen lost lately but from what i’ve read it seems like the bomb will be detonated but will go into a state of limbo because of the exotic nature of the island.I think what will happen is we will see someone detonate the bomb and it will explode,but then during the first second of the explosion it’ll freeze in time in some way.And so after this event, the swan station will be connected to this anomaly in some way to make it stable.Energy that is emmitted from this anomoly will be the electromagnetic, and will have to be vented every 108 minutes.This event/incident will be what causes the island to become what everyone knows it to have been all the time.I think this bomb is the paradox which started everything,the exotic matter being the main product.All events after the explosion will be a product of it.Do you see what i mean.People being able to go back and forth in time after this event will be what causes this event in the past to occur.Detonating the bomb will complete the cycle of events which made the island what it is.Not detonating the bomb will mean the special qualities of the island will dissipate eventually, and return the island to its original/normal state.This is all just speculation so i’m going to add that whoever detonates the bomb will die but will continue to exist outside of time as a cloud of smoke.If i were to bet on who will detonate the bomb i’d put my money on john locke.He has turned out to be the one that makes the most mistakes and he’s just plain foolhardy…..yeah my moneys on locke..

There is definately a “Difficult Daddy” complex theme running through this show.

burningstar, maybe i misunderstood your comment about miles and how he was/will be affected by seeing his father force him and his mother off the island. But I thought that Miles finally understood why his father treated his mother they way he did. Before he did not understand why his father “abandoned” them, but now he realizes that he had to force them off the island. He did it because he cared for them. This is also supported by the scene in an earlier episode which portrayed the doctor as a very loving and caring father.

I think they are setting it up for the big “talk” between Christian and Jack…maybe that is the only thing that can affect Jack. We saw that Mile’s interactions with his dad, and especially seeing his dad force him and his mom off the island, will most likely change Mile’s future because his anger and lack of compassion for people will be able to grow. Perhaps the same can happen for Jack. Or, maybe Christian, Claire, and Jack are meant to be a “dead” family on the island! (kidding)

Jack simply sucks!

He is too annoying of a character, he even manages to be worst than Kate. These two really deserve each other.

I’m pretty sure that he won’t change a thing, in fact he will just make things as they were suppose to be or worst.

stone, I am inclined to agree with you, and what everyone else has been saying, as well.

It appears, that Jack is still in “I can fix it and make it right” mode. I think he has learned very little from his past!

While he believes this is his destiny, he is still blind sighted by his own desire to be the one who makes things right.

Instead of following his instincts, he is still following the same old script, that got him into so much turmoil all of his life.

I think it is a stretch, to think Jack will be able to succeed. I don’t think it is a stretch to believe that Jack will be the cause of further suffering.

After all, that’s what he seems to do best!

Great post!

Yeah, and when he realizes that he’s caused all of his own misery and now realized that he’s chased Kate away… that’s going to be one hell of a Jack Face.

Yes, I wanted to punch Jack.

Yes, I think he is one of the most short-sighted characters, actually being written even worse than before…

And yes, I think the ultimate irony that is coming his way is that he causes his plane to crash and thus set in motion all the”misery” that he so desperately wants to erase.

I still think Radzinsky can be that nut w/ the patch.

Our losties definitely cause the incident. I can’t wait til next week.

Up until last night I had my doubts about Jack causing the incident because it didn’t seem that Chang would listen to Dan’s warning… but he did and it seems he even go through to Radzinsky… but at this point either Radzinsky will go ahead with drilling anyway and cause the incident or Jack will cause it while he’s trying to place the bomb…
