Been watching Fringe. Sometimes I think JJ is giving us clues to Lost within the science fiction of Fringe. But, let me start with what has been bothering me:
Some of you may know that I've researched the Egyptian thing to death. We have observed ties to Anubis and other ancient Dieties. And yet, something has always been off. The statue of an Egyptian god does not match the historic documents, not entirely. We have odd particulars that are just off the norm.
We also have the dead rising. But, dead is dead.
We have "What happened happened." But even that seems to be less rigid than something anti-paradoxical should be.
We have an h-bomb, thought to be able to undo the island's electromagnetism through explosion. But, the explosion of an h-bomb creates electromagnetism.
We have gone through the Looking Glass and arrived in the land of Oz.
None of this makes sense and yet, it all does if you consider one thing...
We are dealing with more than one Earth and one Earth is slightly different from the Other.
In the last Fringe episode they called this glimpse into the Other world, Deja Vu. They explained -- when having a deja vu experience, you are actually catching sight of this ever-present Other-world alternative. And it is because this Other world is the same -- same people, same events -- with only slight changes, it is hard to differentiate one world from the Other. So, we think we are seeing our future at those time when both worlds run in almost the same groove. We have a sense of having been somewhere before, because we have witnessed it occur in this alternate universe. Deja Vu suppossedly happens in geographical areas where the membrane between worlds is thin.
Locke is dead, but his Other self lives.
We acknowledge Anubis, but not his mythical counterpart, Smokey. We wait for everything to be explained by using science and pseudo-science, but not alternate reality science and pseudo-science, where the physics of that realm are most probably different. We can't explain Smokey entirely with our science and myth. But, he becomes slightly more transparent when viewed through the eyes of alternate, Other world science.
Flight 815 did go through the Looking Glass and into the land of Oz, for lack of a better desciption. The passengers left their own realm and entered a realm that at times seems surreal. Surreal is a good term for it, because that is exactly what it is!
Now for the bomb. Perhaps the bomb is what created the doorway between worlds. It is what caused the near paradoxical anaomolies betwixt myth and science, life and death, what happened happened and what could happen. Both worlds are borrowing a little from each other.
If and when the bomb blows up, I expect it will be the origin of the island's peculiarities. Its sun-surface fusion reaction will change the island sands into "black rock" crystals and sustain the electromagnetic charge released by the blast. The thin membrane between worlds will be blown open and It will cause a ripple in time, shooting both forward and back, and causing the record of time to skip when nudged by the resulting collision of worlds. The world is threatened by this event and at the same time not. You might say it has spare parts to mend itself. These parts come from the other side of the rift. (Universe course correction) The dopplegangers replace the dead. You can hear them just beyond the dark portal in the "Dark Territory", speaking in hushed tones between themselves as they approach the event horizon.
Consider this as well. What I have posed deals with only two worlds. Yet, perhaps, it may require several to avoid paradox. Nonetheless, the worlds, be it two or more, have become intertwined and incapable of paradox. Each realm responds to the variables in the other's equations, providing alternatives where none should exist, where what happend happened becomes what may or may not happen. I see it as an exchange of pressure to relieve the imbalance of each. You might even say the paradox of one world cancels out the paradox of another. It's something like a Mobius strip, without inside or outside, one world or the other, but a unique blending of both... with a twist.
Could it be that Chang's alter egos of Wax and Candle are implicit of this idea, having slight changes, such as one arm or two?
Now, think of Jacob within this context. Has Locke has set off to kill another version of himself? If so, how will this effect the present circumstance?
