Entry: [LOST]...and Found

As most of you know, I'm into the show LOST for the moment- (thanks Spencer) mainly because it continues to intrigue me. As the series is drawing towards it's inevitable ending, I've decided to post the events/items that I've noticed that may or may not play a vital part of the show. I will be adding more theories/questions as the weeks go by. But for now let's start small. [Note: All episodes I reference that are within Seasons 1-4 can be viewed for free at abc.com or hulu.com- if you don't own the DVD and wanna check]

1)Who are Adam and Eve? (introduced in the season one episode 'House of The Rising Sun' by Jack) As of now, it appears the most realistic answer to that is it's Rose and Bernard who haven't been seen since the season 5 episode 'The Lie' after the mysterious flaming arrow attack during 1954. When Jack discovers the bodies, he notices the bodies must be around 50 years old. [The plane crash takes place in 2004] Maybe they took refuge into the caves and there either died of starvation or were killed by island hostiles.
2)What did Jack do with the black and white stones he found on the bodies? And more importantly- what do they signify?
3)What is Christian Shepherd? Chronologically, he's been out of his coffin since the crash. [He sent Vincent to wake Jack up in the pilot of season one. This is actually not shown in the actual show, but the LOST mobisode "So It Begins" (which you can view here- http://bit.ly/lwdcM)] So, did he come back to life upon crashing like Locke did later in season 5? Or is he a dead manife
station of the island? And if so, why is he out of his coffin? Following that same line of intrigue, was Christian already dead when he spoke to Sawyer in the bar at Sydney? Probably not- Sawyer's never seen the dead before...but it may be possible.
4) Speaking of Jack's awakening in the Pilot episode, what is that item right next to his head? It appears to be Ben's extendable baton...(which he used in S3's "Every Man For Himself", and S4's "The Shape Of Things To Come") It may be possible if the entire series comes full circle and the end is the beginning. Will it come down to Ben and Jack? Or is it pure coincidence?
5) In S2's "The Other 48 Days" Ana Lucia says "We were in the air for 2 hours..." however the pilot of the plane claims that "6 hours in, our radio went out..."
Was there a time delay/travel anamolly here? Or was it a simple miscalculation on Ana Lucia's part? Which is sort of unlikely seeing how she's a cop and supposed to be observant... but we all know how that is screwed...
6) Skip ahead to S3's "A Tale Of Two Cities"... while it was apparant that there was something going on outside-which forced everyone to go and see what the commotion was...Ben left his house and almost immediately looked to the sky, (before anyone else does,and before 815 is heard or seen) as if he were expecting a plane...(the sound that drew everyone outside is actually from the hatch button negligence from Desmond.)
7) Locke is later told in S3's "Further Instructions" by Boone to "bring the family back together" he then goes on to imply that Locke must save Eko ("before that you must clean up your mess")
Could the family Boone spoke of be Jack and his mysterious father, Christian? He is the father of Claire as well whom he later does successfully reunite with in S4's "Something Nice Back Home"/"Cabin Fever". Since Christian had a strained relationship with both of his children, this would seem the most likely. The weird part is- going back to Christian- what exactly is the relationship of him to Jacob? He seems to speak on his behalf, and he and Claire seem awfully comfortable in Jacob's cabin. I should also point out that in the Old testament of the Bible, Jacob was Aaron's [great]-great grandfather. (Aaron is the name of Claire's baby)


8) Finally, [for now] S3's "The Man From Tallahassee" Locke boarded the sub to sabotage it with the C4 he took from the Flame DHARMA station. Yet, when the sub exploded- he was soaking wet. Also, just before the sub exploded, the sub was not visible, yet it was when he approached it. Is it possible that he moved the sub?
Or maybe submerged it to make the Others believe they couldn't leave the island? Locke is against people leaving... and the explosion occured at the end of the dock, even though it was moored up in the middle of the dock when Locke approached it. There's further reason to believe that either Locke sunk the sub, or was conned by Ben in the Lost mobisode, "King of the Castle" [see it here: http://bit.ly/ZPIHJ]

This is it for this week. I won't open Pandora's Box yet... but feel free to comment with things you've noticed as well.
