Evil Dead
Enemy of the Gospel
Like Backfire, I just started watching this show 3 weeks ago......and have watched it start to finish.
My wife borrowed season 1 dvd set from her friend like 2 months ago. We were bored on a saturda morning and put it in to see what all the hub-bub was about. Needless to say we did absolutely nothing else that day.
3 Days later she got seasons 2 and 3. We watched all of those. Since season 4 doesn't release until Dec. on dvd, we watched the entire season on ABC.com from her laptop.
amazing show. great writing. I'm truely impressed. It is addictive. I watched all 4 seasons back to back.......some days watching 12-15 episodes and doing nothing else.
I'm a newb but have seen every episode you guys have seen so I'll throw my hat into the ring as far as theories.
The island is a time warp. When Ben moved it, he didn't move it in space......he moved it in time. This could be the possible reason he woke up in Tunisia in Oct. of 2005........10 months later. John's funeral wasn't until 2007 so they could have moved the island to any time between '04 and '07. Adam and Eve are Desmond and Penelope. Somewhere in the future Penelope will come to the island and both will be transported back in time, live on the island and die in the caves where Jack discovered Adam and Eve. The island was somehow designed by an advanced race in the future (or perhaps distant, unknown past). The people who inhabitted it did not age. Richard is the leader of the survivors of this civilization. He taps others (Ben,John) to be the leader of the group on the island to ensure if it ever needs moved, he will not be the one banished from it as whomever moves it can never return. I don't know if there are any other original "others" as Richard tapped Ben and both have been recruiting people to the island to work. He may be the only original inhabitant left.
my best guess is that there is some great cataclysm in the future and the island is sent back in time to allow all events from Black Rock crashing to the Dharma Initiative to take place leaving Desmond in the hatch to cause 815 to crash, stranding those specific people on the island as some sort of universal course correction. The examples of fate and unknown interaction between survivors is all to place them on 815 to land on that island and correct the course of the future.....to save the world.
