So a few of us have been batting around some ideas, and I have been lazy and never posted them. So it goes like this. When the Hatch/Swan Station blew it knocked the island off of the time line by a small almost unnoticeable amount. Evidence being, when it blew the sky turned color and there was a humming noise similar to it. Now that in and of itself isn't enough but also remember the doctor who washed up dead before he was dead, and Daniel's payload was late to arrive, but it wasn't off enough to change things like the camp on the beach being built. Either the Swan was a station to move the island, or one to keep the island locked in place. It might have been a "two-key" system, like how a nuclear sub needs two keys to launch a nuke. This part is all speculation but I think that the swan needed to difuse the energy required to move the island if they needed to move the island they would not difuse the energy and then go to the Orchid Station and move the island.
This is not all my theory this is an effort of myself, Travis and Ford. Ford was actually the one who had the "lightbulb" moment that brought everything all together.

Yeah guys, good job, I dig that theory. It's a damned good one actually.
ReplyDeleteThe question I'll throw in the mix here is: what effect did the Incident have on the usage of the Swan station?
Reading up on it, it would seem to me that the original purpose of the Swan Station was to in fact utilize/store the electromagnetic energy. Maybe to keep the Island in one place (so they don't have to search for it again)
Regardless of what the reactor was for, it didn't work,caused the Incident and forced the Dharma Initative to install the 108 minute discharge protocol. To continually discharge the energy from the reactor, but at the furthest point before it became unstable, thus the 108 minute mark. The fail-safe was basically to blow the reactor and release all of the energy.
My best example for this was in The Shining. Jack Torrance needed to, from time to time, vent the boiler in the hotel. Otherwise the pressure would build up too much and explode. Similar deal here, but with energy.
Then it gets back to what you were suggesting about the energy pushing the Island forward in time.
(side question: why seal it all with concrete?)
(side note part two: You guys can talk to each other at work about this, I only have this blog, so sorry for the long ass posts haha)
The Shining analogy is a good one, and for everyone that doesn't remember that scene in the movie, go read the book it's even better than the movie.
ReplyDeleteSorry also to 'the heb' for our lack of posts. I think I end up getting too much of my discussion out at work and then have little left for the blog. I will try to adjust.
