Skater vs. Jater

I don't Know why this is even a question. Of course I want Kate to end up with Jack. Here's what bothers me about the Skate camp:

• Sawyer is a hick and a conservative. I grew up in rural America and am familiar with the species. They are not misunderstood, or sensitive one minute, a huge a-hole the next. They're usually just a-holes.
• Kate has reservations too. Sawyer is just like her dad - only not a drunk because all the island has to offer is 20-year-old Dharma beer, a wine bottle you have to wrestle out of Desmond's hands, and maybe some half-empty vanilla bottles (which I learned from Amy Sedaris will work in a pinch).

That being said, I do enjoy a teensy bit of Skate here and there. My two favorite Skate vids:

• Brighter Than Sunshine
• Dream a Little Dream of Me. By Mama Cass-also a Desmond favorite.

I should also come clean that my true fave is Desmond. As much as I loathe the surely duplicitous Juliet, I was hoping to see some Desmond-Juliet action in the woods just for fun. And just so he could say "I'm sorry, brother," to Jack and Jack would cry.

Lost: The Economist

J. wood's most recent post on this episode of Lost makes mention to Doyle's Moriarity :

Significant because: I posted a theory not too long ago about how Moriarity could be the key to Lost.

The show's title intrigues me because not too long ago I took micro and macro economics at Phoenix College. I learned many fascinating things in economics class; this weekend I will have to review my textbooks for clues!

Lost Island Exists in Paleozoic Era

A few notes on the most recent episode, "Confirmed Dead."

1) The "ghost" dustbuster -- there is a circular element on the front of this device that looks exactly like a CD cleaner I bought a couple years ago:

2) Why does the pilot look like he fell out of the sky and his phone is broken when he landed the plane safely? There shouldn't be a scratch on him.

3) The island exists way back in time. Specifically, before the paleozoic era. I found a couple science briefs on magnetic anomolies in Tunisia, and also on how flora in Tunisia was found to match ancient flora in Australia:

This would explain the compass not pointing north, because the polarity of the earth has changed many times. Most recently 750,000 years ago.

This also explains the teradactyl charlie saw. There's probably plenty of other dinosaurs.

The polar bears, dolphins and sharks were brought back in time to the island by Dharma.

It explains all the dead people on the island like Jack's father and Ben's mom -- if Ben can make people travel through time, he can bring them back from a time they were alive.

And it explains why Jack's father is alive in the future -- because he was brought back in time before he died, he went back to the future as one of the Oceanic 6. He was, technically, on the plane -- though in a coffin. But he may have been on the manifest -- with an asterik.

4) The submarine must be a time-travel device. Which has something to do with why Locke blew it up.

5) This gives the show a great hope, because of its true the Lostaways are all back in time, they can go forward to any point and not make all the mistakes they made in their pitiful lives. One thing is certain: they have all made horrendous mistakes that I'm sure they would undo if they could. This might be exactly what they did.

Ben showed them how to time travel and before going back to their own time, Kate first didn't burn up her father (so she's not wanted), Jack didn't turn in his dad (so his dad's not dead -- he's still a doctor). Hurley didn't play the lottery. But they paid a high price for this -- their lives now suck really bad and they want to go "back" -- that is, back in time.

6) Reference to my last theory about the poles: one of the Freighties is Charlotte S. Lewis (C.S. Lewis). Narnia was a land where it was perpetually winter.
