Watched this scene 5x on the tivo last night.... please confirm I'm not crazy....
Around the 22min mark Locke is in the car with Abandon for the first time and is being asked where he is going to go. The car stops to slow as some herders and sheep are crossing the road (I could have sworn those herders were Ben and/or Assassin Sayid, but oh well).
The sheep are coming from the right side of the street (in relation to the SUV), the same side of the street as the 2 signs...one is blue and one is bigger and yellowish. The blue one is directly in front of the yellow one. The sheep are in the middle of the street heading away from the signs across the SUVs path towards the left of the SUV.
Locke makes his decision to go to Santo Domingo and the car starts to move again, camera pans out the sheep are now moving further RIGHT back over top of where the signs are. (Further, the blue sign looks like it is 5 feet further to the right now and is no longer in front of the bigger sign. The car wasnt moving when we see the signs the first time so its not like it could be a big depth perception thing. I don't think).
Anyway, I'm pretty darn SURE about the sheep and refuse to believe it's accidental.
My thoughts: Everyone tied to the island had their fate tied to John's decision on who to visit (first?). When John said Santo Domingo the universe re-calibrated and this re-calibration made the sheep/herders go the way they came.
Metaphorically speaking, 'the sheep' (06) were originally following the Shepard (Locke) but Locke's decision to go see Sayid first changed everything and the sheep no longer went along with his directions. If you want to take it further then the Shepard is Jack and Locke was "suppose" to go see Jack first so Jack could help Shepard (!!!) the others back to the island with Locke.
Or, perhaps John was 'suppose' to go see either Helen first b/c it would have shown that Locke was more concerned with his love than his destiny/heir to the throne stuff. Or one could say Helen b/c it wouldn't have given Widmore time to fake her death.
Thoughts? Am I right about the 22min mark and the misdirection?Theory by JD
