Saw a little smidge of this and have expanded on it a lot. What if while we are all looking to the past for answers everything we want to know is in the future...
Here's the part I actually read: What if Richard and his people are actually from the future. Their 'time vessel' is disguised as an island so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the past. Somehow it breaks down and everything Richard is doing is to fix it at some point and get home.
Expanded thoughts: I kinda like this one. Smokey could be some sort of futuristic device that they have used to make sure Richards plan happens. It could also explain why Richard isn't necessarily 'in charge'. He gets someone from the time era they are in to be his liaison to the outside world and not to Jacob as we previously thought. Could also play into this never aging thing...maybe when time shifting on the island, you don't age until you catch up to your original time period (total guess there but who knows).
Again, this doesn't explain everything and I'm sure its full of holes. Just thought I'd throw it out there for you guys.

That's an interesting theory. I can't attest to it's likelihood.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty big theory that might initiate a whole slew of problems that need plenty of time to answer... another few seasons at least.
question:
Why would they need to travel back into time? Why would they need to travel as far back as the Black Rock...
More importantly, why do people who can traverse time use an entire [expletive] Island? I'm down for a Delorean and Doc Brown
The thing I don't like about this is Richard leaves the island to see Locke, and to recruit people to come to the island who aren't going to be in charge, they just work there. Seems to be too many holes. I think elements of it may be true but I think it's too thin to explain the overarching story of the island.
