TALE OF THE TAPE III:Everybody knows your name.... by Ralph

Here it is folks...My last TALE OF THE TAPE theory...I knew I would do a trilogy of them and now with the final season a little over two weeks away...it's time for me to drop my final thoughts on this subject and maybe open your eyes to a well debated mystry that is going on now.....

"Hello,I'm Marvin Candle"....
"Hello,I'm Mark Wickmund"....
"Hello,I'm Edgar Halliwax"...

...."Dr.Chang...you are needed at the Orchid"!

The many ALIAS of Dr.Chang(that's funny cause he was a bad guy on J.J.Abrams show before LOST...ALIAS),I have notice he only use these in videos.....WHY? I mean....everybody on the Island knows him....from the little kids to the janitors.....so why make videos using a fake name when the only people who will be watching it...know you? Only DHARMA people will be in those hatches/stations and we all have seen that the first person you pretty much meet is Dr.Chang(he was even cool to lend a hand and help register Jack(the WORKMAN).So.....I'm thinking one of two directions this might go in......

Theory 1(Simple):

DHARMA recycles their people(certain ones)and somehow mind wipes (Room 23?),throws them into a station/Hatch...when they go into them(with minds with slight memory loss),they are re-introduced to Chang...but under a different alias...why?...so when their stint is up....they drink the oj and go for a sub right back to the real world....and if they start blabbing,they will give whoever a false name of someone that does not exist(Candle,Wickmund,Halliwax)...cause they never met chang....

People that stay...

Janitors.
Teachers.
Security.
Sub crew.
Scientist.
Kids(why put kids in that danger?...I have always questioned this...).

People that cycle out with new ones....

cooks.
construction workers(def mind wiped)
Doctors.
Specialist.


THEORY 2 (little crazy,but maybe not...).

The tapes were made with fake names to throw someone off? Who?..
Desmond? Locke? Ben? MIB(not even)?....they are there to throw off Jacob...JACOB?...yes,Jacob.....Why?...to throw him off of what reality or time frame they are in on the Island.Why? Well...even before Faraday and all them showed up...Dr.Chang,the DeGroots,and Horace were all up to something with time travel.I say this because in the tunnel at the Orchid...the big palooka construction guy told Dan about how dumb he thought Chang was for believing in time travel.So Chang believed....he just didn't think he would have meet someone from the future.I think what we are not seeing here is the DeGroots...where are they?are they even on the Island?So here I go(and yes...I'm going here)...what if Jacob is the DeGroots kid and say he and his parents don't come to the Island till the mid eighties when possibly the Orchid is full functional(kinda like the Emperor did with the 2nd Death star).And I'm gonna go as far as say that maybe Jacob and MIB were the DeGroots lab assistants and may! be something happened with the pods(I think Jacob is bad and was tampering with the pod and MIB tried to stop him) and Jacob and MIB got shot back in time(and this process gave them some powers and rendered them ageless).Jacob is manipulating things and I think MIB is being framed/presented to us as the villain and he is not(kinda like how the more we get to know Ben,the more we see he's not a bad guy....we just didn't get to see the bigger picture of his life).I think somehow Chang finds this out through Dan but does not tell the DeGroots with fear they won't listen.So Chang thinking he can't prevent it,so he makes some fake tapes to throw Jacob off in his "Travels"(kinda like making him go in circles).Not stopping him...just annoying him and slowing him down.

I also think the DeGroots are dead and it's their bodies in the Cave(I think if it's Rose and Bernard...it's too easy).also...I think that Jacob put those bodies there as "Markers" so when he "Travels"...he knows he is back on the Island in the right reality and time frame."Hi,Mom...Hi,Dad....I'm Home!".

That's it for the TALE OF THE TAPES...hope you enjoyed all THREE.

...till next time.....
