THERESA FALLS…INTO A TIMELOOP?

February 7, 2009 by A.E.S.

Im not going to lie, i dont really know where im going with this, but the producers said something a long time ago that has always stuck with me.
Ok, so after seeing this season, we see another young lady that Mr Faraday has caused problems for. Her name is Theresa spencer. and if I remember correctly, her sister and caregivers name was Abigail Spencer. That shouldnt mean much so dont worry if youre not with me.
Skip back to season 1or 2, im honestly not sure which. I believe it was the ‘Deuce ExMachina’ episode. Locke has one of his…’visions’ of boon standing, covered in blood, repeating the phrase, “Theresa fellup the stairs, Theresa fell down the stairs.” Now, I dont have much to go on, but Im pretty sure they are speaking of the same Theresa. No, I dont have any reason at all, just very thin logic.
The episode where Boone says that, I believe is the same day that in “future” lost they travel back to the past, and see the hatch light and Sawyer sees Kate deliver Aaron. This is also the same timeframe that in the real world, “Desmond goes to Oxford, confronts Whidmore after seeing the old lab, and then goes to see..Theresa.
If anyone can help with this, jump in. Its been bothering me since we saw Theresa in bed. I have looked and stretched, but come up with nothing. i dont even know how it would work, but why would they name her the same name. its got to mean something.

Abbot Enheduanna Schwarzschild Name meaning: -Abbot: Father defined by or in religious connotation/definition. From the beginning, Lost was riddled with religious tone and it was obvious it would play some sort of role. Seemed fitting to start here. -Enheduanna: Mesopotamian High Priestess and the modern civilization’s first recorded poet. I created the name after season 1. John explaining backgammon history to Walt spawned the idea that the island may have a link yo the beginning of civilization and maybe even time itself. It was “poetic” and important to add this to my pseudonym. I needed the mother of poetry in modern civilization to match the religious “Father” in my first name. -Schwarzschild: Reference to Karl Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild Black Holes. Smoke monsters, hatches, and curing paralysis doesn’t point to black holes…but the sci-fi elements ran deep and obvious. The wheel moving the island and transporting Ben felt like it got plucked from my imagination. A.E.S.

  1. just for the record, i do not think theresa is actually in a timeloop, i just think…she is more involved somehow…and to mess with a couple of people ;]

  2. the theresa felling up and down the stairs can not be our theresa spencer because it just does not fit given the ages… she looks too young to be boone’s somewhat nanny when boone was a kid say 15 years ago minimum she would be too young and probably be in oxford or even in that vegetative state… dunno just does not feel right

    still that episode with bloody boone is still giving me the creeps when i think about it… btw i missed boone a lot =)

  3. I KNOW, i hated boone and shannon at first, but by the time they bit it, they BOTH had me liking them alot. Well, either way, i never said it made sense, it actually makes no sense, but the writer/producers said long ago to pay attention to names, and i just dont believe in coincidences on lost.

  4. AES, I have to agree with you on Theresa. I also wondered about her, and Boone’s nanny being related, somehow. We know how the writers love to do that!

    Here is my take on what Boone said about Theresa to Locke. Could the reference Boone makes about Theresa, represent the ‘time travelling’ aspects?

    I take the up and down might mean ‘falling’ through time and space. Or, something like that.

  5. No chance whatsoever. The writers of this show always recycle names. A few examples:

    Tom – guy who knocked up Claire, one of the Others, Kate’s boyfriend, Ana-Lucia’s name for Christian Shephard.

    Charles – Mr Widmore, Charlie Pace, Desmond’s child.

    David – Hurley’s imaginary friend, Libby’s husband

    And that’s just off the top of my head. The episode you’re thinking of is from series 1, and in it Locke has a dream which shows him where to find the Beechcraft. The only reason he hears Boone say “Theresa falls up the stairs, Theresa falls down the stairs” is so that Boone will believe him and go with him (because he has no way of knowing about Theresa).

    Ask yourself – if it was the same Theresa, what would it achieve? Boone is dead, and this woman suffered a broken neck when he was six. We don’t know anything else about her, or his childhood, and we don’t need to.

    The writers only have 30 more episodes to clear everything up. They won’t do that with pointless asides like this.

  6. Understandable response coolbeans, but when a show can take a seemingly meaningless name of a rat in one season, and use it to help clue us in to a major characters mother, who also happens to be a pretty important character, i wouldnt go using the words “no chance whatsoever”. especially when the past episode in which Boone says those words just happens to be the same day that the losties travel back to on the island, in the same period to which Daniel’s Theresa is introduced off island.Time will tell… :]
