LT245: Imagery and Meaning

THE WAR IS COMING

Here is a theory for you to enjoy. Ilana asks “What lies in the shadow of the statue?” It is possible that this could mean that the shadow that the very tall statute casts. In early morning the shadow would be inward to the island. Maybe at a certain time the shadow it casts points to the location of something special.

Related to this theory is a spin-off that says that a grate exists UNDER the statue. The statue was erected in order to block this grate which could contain a smoke monster. Maybe even a white smoke monster. If they can topple this thing then we begin the war of east versus west (the direction the sun travels) and black versus white.

Perhaps the statue is covering the Jughead bomb or its shadow points to the location of the buried treasure. Either way, it would be helpful in a war to have a nuclear weapon at your disposal.


FUNNY COMMENT

Someone wrote, “Admit it. When you saw Ben’s torch get blown out you thought we was voted off of “Survivor”?” Cute.


INFECTION

There are some thoughts going around that Ilana and crew may be infected with the sickness that Danielle’s group suffered. She has always had a personality capable of what I’ve observed, but this idea makes for an interesting thought. If you consider that they have been on the beach most of the time, then I doubt this, but the evil disposition did make me wonder.

And if she is really working for Widmore then why didn’t they kill Ben when he was knocked out and recovering on the cot?


SERPENTS

This screen snapshot has spotlighted snakes:

In Egyptian mythology the god Apep was an evil demon and depicted in the form of a snake. He and the sun god, Ra, were at constant battle with each other. Apep was also known as the serpent of rebirth. Is this our Smokey?

Of course, Satan was depicted as a serpent in the Garden of Eden.


PICTURES OF YOU

Did you notice when Locke and Sun are waiting for Ben to summon Smokey from his bedroom hidden room there is a painting on the wall?

That’s right! It is our Hamster Lady. She keeps showing up in episodes and that doesn’t happen without a good reason. Many are saying it is a painting of Ben’s mother, Emily. But why keep including it and why does it keep moving locations?


SYMBOLS

We were given a lot of glyphs in the Temple Tunnels this past episode. Here are some interpretations of their meaning:
There is a weeping eye found several times which stands for sorrow.

The words these symbols represent are: watch, mutilate, make, purify and snake.
