oooh, sth, i think you're onto something, especially with them wanting to kill jack and not (and you know it was abc making them not kill him, despite whatever bull they try to spin). yes, i have it now:

jack = abc

heh, maybe he represents everything the writers don't like about "regular" network shows, such as the ubiquitous male drama leads (sorry all you jack-lovers) - someone who is "perfect", alpha-male, has to lead, somehow everyone just falls under his spell as the annointed one, etc.

and maybe they built him up to bring him down hard to spite it all (i hope).



now onto another subject, pagong, that idea is so intriguing!

i'd never heard that one before, and when i first read it it sounded silly. i don't think it would be a satisfying explanation to most, but the more i think about it the more it makes a lot of sense; it explains things well if a bit simply.

like, if this was some really advanced rpg, and characters play themself, and the flashbacks to real life are all real but island time is rpg. maybe even like a virtual reality rpg or something.

this would explain why every time something crazy happens (the plane crash, the exlosion, etc) people wake up on the ground; ie locke woke up just like jack did in the very first ep.

and it explains locke's walking (he'd want to be able to walk in an rpg).

and it explains the polar bears, jack's father appearing, kate's horse appearing, the bird, the smoke monster, the whole background history of dharma/widmore, etc. (which would be the rpg's maker's design)

and when people die, they're just out of the game. perhaps rousseau's faction was a prior game on the island and she won (so she gets to play again, but her character "in-game" will be handicapped)

the others could be other players (like the opposing factions in wow) or they could be part of the game to beat.

also, all the similarities between certain people on island and certain people off-island (juliet/jack's wife, zeke/guy at locke's pot camp) could be somehow part of it (like if the others aren't other players but part of the game, perhaps the game was custom designed after the participant's told makers about their past and other's are molded to fit certain people from different player's pasts

heh, my mind's been running with it since i read your post
