Hey all… I have to first tell ya all that the posts on this site have been cranked up a notch since its return to the net – the layoff did some good! Excellent thoughts, theories & comments… everyone!

With that said, I’ve always thought something similar to what ‘Sinster’ had mentioned in regards to Libby. The fact that she bumps into Desmond, befriends him for a brief moment, offers up the one thing he needs for his quest, and then he suspiciously is guided towards the Island, etc… is just to coincidental!

Maybe she works for Widmore as well (as Abbadon), and gets/guides people to where they need to be. Or maybe they all work for a higher source – MIB or Jacob?

Also, if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the image of her that we saw prior to Michael setting off the “fake bomb” on the ship trying to ward him off from doing so? I can’t recall what was said… Not sure what that has to do with things but I’m just sticking with ‘cyan_eyed’s’ theme (or maybe the lost theme) and presenting some new questions.

Hey cyan_eyed but I googled lost 2010 spoilers… (I know I’m just damn impaitent, and I can’t spell.)

But here’s a thought what if Libby was on the plane b/c she was HEADING 2 the island, as the losties did on Flight 316. What if she visited the lamp post, and knew where the island was going 2 appear? I feel she may be part of dharma, or another group, as well.

Sinister can you possibly link me to this source?
A.E.S I didn’t even consider relating the numbers to Libby. You may be on to something there.
Dabs thanks for the citation there, I didn’t even know his father was called Dave, so the issue here is somewhat clarified.
Lost freak that is true, but it makes me wonder why would MIB have left the island to visit Santa Rosa back when Hurley’s potential was unrealised (as Jacob touched Hurley AFTER he left the island), and if this is the case, do you think that MIB could have made any other off island appearances?
I have a fear that we are underestimating Libby’s actual persona. We have been presented with next to nothing about her. She could be in fact pathologically evil. I really hope they address the story in some way…

libbys death did convince hurley to go with michael into his “trap” with the others… and everyone who went on that mission )including jin and sun and sayid) are the only ones still alive…maybe because they were far away from the swan implosion… only desmond survives because he is “special”.

im not thinking clearly. monday morning at work. someone save me.

I believe all of Hurley’s “I see dead people” is a manipulation from the mystery man in black. Everyone he has seen has died on the island. Before you say it……I think Dave died on the island and we will see that this season. Think about it. It is by far MIB best trick. He did it subtle with other Losties, however Hurley needed a bigger push and indeed is not insane. Perception has lead him to that state.
Perhaps Libby is a psycho stalker of Hurley thus following him to Australia and back.(She did have love in her eye’s whilst watching Hurley in the nut house mind you drool was also dripping out of her mouth) And she was killed as a pawn of some sort. Aggg help me out here I cant remember ?? Did Libby’s death direct Hurley in a certain direction? Was there a purpose behind it ?? Doh!! its getiing late and you are forcing me to pop in the DVD…….BRB….LOL

I read something while the site was down that makes me pretty positive Libby’s story is not over.

Hi everyone-
My computer was also down. I’m finally back….

Hi cyan_eyed. I had to go back and check on this in Lostpedia, as I recalled it from an earlier discussion.

I found the following:

Carlton Cuse: The connection between the imaginary Dave and Dave his father was completely intentional, I mean we wanted basically Hurley to imagine a friend and have that be wrapped up in his unresolved relationship with his Dad, so thatâ€™s why his imaginary friend is named Dave.

Damon Lindelof: As to Libbyâ€™s ex, thatâ€™s an entirely different David we may or may not meet in the future.

I think it is still possible that while Hurley was seated with his imaginary friend Dave, that Libby could have been seeing her husband David.

I’m hoping that enough is covered via the ‘eyes’ of another character that we will receive some further information.

Maybe Dave’s a Flock-type zombie …

Very good idea, however i saw the authors talk about Libby in an interview and they as ekolocation said, they’re not interested in continuing the Libby story.

I have to say, I got about half way through this and was saying, “here we go again”, then you took a wonderful turn in the direction of Libby cause of being instintutionalized.

Great approach!

I always thought it would in some way deal with the numbers, much like Hurley…and reading your theory got me thinking…

What if not only did she see Dave, but was in some way effected by the numbers, and wasnt watching Hurley…she was watching Leonard as well…

She saw Hurley had the same problem, and was intrigued and convinced Dave died due to bad luck much like Hurley had believed and blamed of his problems source.

Lol, I actually have a completely different theory on this exact subject, but I truly love your theory…and it got me thinking…

Nicely done Cy!
