Lostpedia
Probably the wrong section, but anyways, I'll look into it on YouTube. :: ||[ K i t s u n e ]||

An idea to throw out there... I just saw an promo photo for Expose' that show Nikki holding a black pouch. If it's the same as the one found with A&E that Jack apparently pocketed ...was this found by Nikki later? ...do the stones belong to Nikki? ...are Adam & Eve really Nikki & Paulo? --BiggSteve777 11:20, 13 March 2007 (PDT)


Time travel[]

According to the producers, time travel is not part of the show's resolution. On the article attached to this discussion page, several theories are tagged with the note "requires time travel". The producer's have also made several references to the island's "timeline". If the island itself functions on a circular time loop, would that be considered time travel? I don't think so. I think we should avoid associating circular time theories with time travel. If no one disagrees, I will delete the tags from the article. --Cmpieper 11:17, 11 May 2007 (PDT)

I'm not sure what they mean by "not part of the show's resolution" (link please?). But it certainly doesn't mean that two of the current characters can't somehow end up stranded in the past. I find the following quote by Lindeof (linked on the main page) very revealing:

There were certain things we knew from the very beginning. Independent of ever knowing when the end was going to be, we knew what it was going to be, and we wanted to start setting it up as early as season 1, or else people would think that we were making it up as we were going along. So the skeletons are the living — or, I guess, slowly decomposing — proof of that. When all is said and done, people are going to point to the skeletons and say, "That is proof that from the very beginning, they always knew that they were going to do this."

In other words, Adam and Eve aren't important to the ending, but they will help prove that Lindeof and Cruz always knew what the ending was going to be. Two of the characters getting shanghaied into the past fits that scenario to a T.
My money is on Jack and Kate:
  • They found the stones, and one of them presumably still has them. Artifacts that have no existence outside of a time loop are popular gimmicks in time travel stories.
  • Having a time traveller see is own fate and not realize it is an important feature of Twelve Monkeys (rather similar to Lost in tone, come to think of it) and also of the French movie Twelve Monkeys was derived from, La Jetée. Also time travel stories, and just the kind of cultural reference they love to plant in Lost.

  • Are we accepting Time Travel as a .. potential theory? So far I still think people travelling in time on the show is purely speculative.. time travel will always lead to paradox. Integrated (User / Talk) 10:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Time travel it's no longer a speculative theory.

References[]

The parts talking about the bible in reference to fact as opposed to Lost theory should probably contain sources from the scholars who wrote about it. Otherwise, what's to say some Lost fan didn't just make up a bunch of stuff about the bible that sounds plausible enough to pass? --Nogard 12:02, 6 October 2007 (PDT)

Unanswered Questions[]

  • I think the question of who laid the bodies in the cave should be added to the page. Mapper 07:28, 31 March 2008 (PDT)

A Possible Anagram[]

The sentence 'Adam and Eve' can form an incredible amount of results of anagrams in Latin, the 'cults' or the 'hostiles' language. One of the possible results for that is, roughly translated into english, 'Danmnation to those who leave'.

The stones in a time loop[]

If one of those skeletons is Jack or someone who took the stones from Jack that means the stones are stuck in a time loop Jack takes the stones dies 30-40 years in the past, finds his body takes the stones and it repeats it self over and over again. This also means the stones don't have an origin, they were never made from any rocks or sand, so technically the stones don't exist, if your definition of existence is something that is there with a beginning and an end which the stones do not have. Stones are just there. TalkBenKilledDharmaBlog

Jacob and the man in black?[]

They're not normal people and would deteriorate quickly. Or could they be from the Black Rock?--JSKaterfan 16:27, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Adam and Eve - gender[]

Hello. I'm new to lostpedia. What an incredible resource this is; and a lot of fun too! Could anyone tell me, do we know for SURE that one of the skeletons is male and one is female, other than that they have been given a gendered nickname? Is it part of canon that they are opposite sex?

Thanks!

Hi there! Yes, when the skeletons were first discovered, Jack identified them as a man and a woman. -- Managerpants  Contribs  Talk  03:31, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

cleanup[]

I propose at the theory page get a cleanup tag. Information is duplicated. There is a lot of speculation about the identities of people in the "stones" section even though there's a separate "identity" section. Also, a number of theories on there have been debunked by producers or by current events and should be removed. The "last appearance of Adam and Eve" section is too conversational and the information could go better in other sections. I would be happy to take on the edit, but wouldn't want to do so without more buy-in first. (Mirth23 21:22, March 26, 2010 (UTC))
