notes on pilot + Richard
i just finished watching the pilot episode and i noticed a few things:
1) Jack definitely seems to know where he’s going when he just wakes up and he runs with a purpose.
2) Jack already knows that they’ve got to get the transceiver device from the cockpit. Kate asks him how he knows all that but Jack smiles and says that he took a couple of flying lessons.
3) In one scene where Jack is looking out at the ocean, the other Losties are talking about the smoke monster they saw the night before and Rose distinctly says : “That sound that it made, I keep thinking that there was something distinctly familiar about it.”
4) When Jack, Kate and Charlie are on their way to get the transceiver, Kate says she knows Charlie from somewhere
Well, it would seem to go with the man in black’s plan to use Ben in the future to kill Jacob. After all, if it had not been for that happening, Ben would apparently be dead. Being that MIB seems to be able to trick people quite well, it is imaginable that he did indeed inform Richard of Ben.
Not sure if you’ll read this comment, but I posted this exact theory/question before on lost theories. Do you remember the episode charlie FIRST died in? Where Ethan killed him? Jack got to him as if he knew where he was going and got him down and as he was beating his chest he yelled “I WONT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN” like he died the first time and things changed this time around.
Ok so not when he was beating him but as he runs up the hill chasing after Ethan and what not.
what i really thought was weird was rose’s comment…it was as if she had experienced smokey before but couldn’t remember where… and i think it’s a major hint. how long ago did the writers of lost start planning the time travel element??
Thats some cool stuff you noticed about jack knowing where to go. Maybe he remembers or is the only one who does, but then it makes me think how confusing it is cause Dan said they’ve done it all before but its the first time they’re experiencing it. But then does it just happen over and over and over again? Whoa sorry i just got way off topic
yeh like deja vu.. u have a dream or whatever, then later on you think “hang on, i remember this” or ” i know what’s going to happen before it does”….
That point about the MiB being at certain places and influencing events is probably right. When he said “you have no idea what i’ve had to do to be here” or something like that, he probably had to influence almost every event that happened to the people on the island.
