re: Dr. Chameleon: I love the word "befloogled"
I'd like to watch some of the Jack story in real time, not split up and switched around over three seasons, that might help me a bit. I think you have a very good point, though-- I forget that Jack was trying to kill himself before Ben came along.
The thing that nags me during the penultimate scene of the episode in the Marina is the fact that the next few times we see this scene from a different angle the dialogue between the characters is different!
I am sure I read an interview with one of the producers saying that this slight change in dialogue was deliberate and the reason for it would become apparent before the end of the show! Does anyone remember this and if so know what the meaning was?
I have no doubt it was done intentionally, but I don't think it really means anything big. For instance, when Sayid originally exited, he said something like, "If I ever see you or him again (Ben and Jack), it's going to be very unpleasant for us all." But when the scene was repeated in "He's Our You," Sayid just said, "If I see you again..." because the episode was more about Ben and Sayid's relationship. Just my take on it.
Im currently in the rewatch of this episode.and i just viewed the other canoe shooting at them. This just occured to me that this was a future event. So i came here, and low and behold others knew it too. I should've known! haha
I was that little boy, that little baby boy was me.
I once was a boy, but now I am a man!
I fought the nightman, lived as dayman...
"The first rule of fight club is..."
can someone please explain to me how these people seem to know that they shouldnt run into their other self on the Island. If i suddenly started to time travel, I wouldnt know this.
A thought keeps occuring to me : what if all these "scenes from a different perspective" are really different ~iterations of the same happening?
As in, "this time around", "see you in another life" (a recurring statement said by more than Desmond), and "progress"...
Well going by "whatever happened happened", because they never encountered their future selves when going through their original timelines in the first place.
but I thought Locke purposely avoids himself in this episode?
Well yes, what I was going for was that he knew it didn't happen to his past self, so he couldn't do it now because it wouldn't be what happened originally. Remember, he says to Sawyer that he didn't go to help his past self because "he needed that pain to get where he is now."
I also think that Locke didn't want Sawyer, Juliet, Miles, Faraday, and Charlotte to see the state he was in after Boone's fall.
