Ok. So what do we think about Walt?

Shannon saw him outside her tent talking backwards and dripping with water when the Others had him.
Locke speaks to 'Taller Walt' (I love that!) when he is lying in the Dharma grave waiting to die when he is supposedly back home off the island. Do you think it is the island/Smokey appearing as Walt, or do you think Walt has some special ability to project himself to people?

He can seemingly bring things to life just from imagining them... the bird that flew into the window at his home when he was trying to get his mom to look at the bird in the book he was reading. All the dead birds that were lying around the dharma station the others were holding him hostage in. The polar bear appeared right after he read about one in the comic book on the island.... Do you think he has special powers, or is this all just powers of circumstance?

What is the deal with Walt?

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments omg I completely forgot about all that! Taller Walt? Haha. What about when Mr. Friendly said " You got work to do" to Michael, the same words Walt said to Locke.

ooohhh. that just gave me chills. I totally missed that!!!

Wouldnt it be weird if both of them said that at the exact same time? doo-doo-doo-doo {enter twilight zone music here}


message 4: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments rofl. It would be weird in that, losty way.


message 5: by Sherry (new)

Sherry something I don't think was explained adequately was if Walt was so special why did they let him go?I also remember the episode where Claire was told that she needed to go on the trip and that her baby was going to be important(at least i think I remember that)anyway I always thought the baby was supposed to figure prominently somehow but now,who knows?


message 6: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments thats, true if he was so special they would've kept him. And the baby seemed like it was of huge importance but now you just don't know.


message 7: by Lori, Offical Lost Lover and Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
The only thing I really know about Aaron is that no one but Claire is supposed to be taking care of him. No one else can raise him. That was the Psychics warning, and now also Hurleys warning from Charlie. hmmm....


message 8: by Sherry (new)

Sherry Oh my God I totally forgot that part of it!


message 9: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments pshyics what?


message 10: by liz (new)

liz (mancini) yeah, the psychic tricks claire into getting on the plane, knowing its going to crash and aaron will be isolated- but doesn't that mean the psychic would also know what happens once they are on the island?


message 11: by Lori, Offical Lost Lover and Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
no, i think the psychic was in cahoots (Logans favorite word!!) with the people who want to protect the island.... maybe even was directed by Christian himself to tell her.....

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
Oh yeah.. and i have a theory/prediction about Walt... He is going to be the key ot MOVING THE ISLAND>.. with all that killing birds by calling them mentally to the window and making polar bears appear, i think he is going to be the one to move (or hide) the island....

I cant believe this. pcs seem to be fitting together like a puzzle....


message 13: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (countessofblooms) | 149 comments I really never expected anything to fit together. It's kind of shocking that it is now.


message 14: by Lori, Offical Lost Lover and Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
well, more like i am sitting there, taking pcs and jamming them together how i see fit.. haa haa...


message 15: by Lorena (new)

Lorena (lorenalilian) | 148 comments Ok, I might sound dumb, but weren't the polar bears in the Island before these guys showed up? Because they were doing experiments on them on the cages way before, or not?

I seem to remember the cages being old and the others telling Sawyer that he took longer than the bear to learn the "cookie" trick...


message 16: by Lori, Offical Lost Lover and Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
Yeah, Lorena, you are 100% correct there.

but the first time we saw one, was when Walt was sitting on the beach, reading Hurleys spanish comic book with the polar bears in it, and then shortly after, there is a huge white polar bear chasing them..... you know what i mean? He seems to somehow 'attract' the things in nature that he is reading about or thinking about.

Wouldnt it be weird we find out that Walt has the ability to control Smokey too? Just a thought really.


message 17: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments If Walt controled Smokey that would be, perfect. A little too perfect. Why is Walt so special anyway? Why are all the children?


message 18: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (countessofblooms) | 149 comments Because they believe in faeries and can get to Never Never Land. Oh wait, wrong series...


message 19: by Lori, Offical Lost Lover and Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
not all the children are special. Walt was because of the things he can apparently do.. but i think it goes much deeper than that, and i hope we see him on the island or at least in flashbacks/fowards soon to clear some his "powers and importance" up....


message 20: by Lorena (new)

Lorena (lorenalilian) | 148 comments It would be so cool if Aaron started to do all kinds of freaky, scary stuff too ... LOL Just a thought!


message 21: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments It would be soo interesting to see what Walt's life looks like in the future. Aaron has to be special too, I mean, he was born on the island, that has to count for something!


message 22: by Lorena (new)

Lorena (lorenalilian) | 148 comments They are going to have to do something like that about Walt because the kid who plays him is so tall now, unless they re-cast the kid.


message 23: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments They could never recast Walt! I know, it was sooo funny when they said he was ten years old in the episode with Michael and Mr. Friendly, I practically laughed. He looks like, 15.


message 24: by Sherry (new)

Sherry Thinking about Emma's earlier comment about the children all bring special,I've thought it curious that the"others" grabbed all the children from the crash.They also stole the french woman's baby.Whether all the children are special or not they sure have gone to a lot of trouble to nab them all.With the ecception of Aaron,cxcept early on,I can't remember if Claire was pegnant or if Aaron had been born.And then keeping track of John from the time he was a baby.Seems significant that there is so much focus on the children.

I want to say it has something to do with thier innocence, and ability to adapt and overcome... The others would be able to mold them and shape them (or brainwash them in room 23).... They cannot have children of thier own on the island, so maybe it is just an obsession??


message 26: by Emma (last edited May 12, 2008 02:36PM) (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments True, but maybe theres something different about children that have been on the island. Maybe their imaginations can run wild on the island, and the dreams their minds contain become real.


message 27: by Sherry (new)

Sherry Both interesting theories.I think that maybe (and I say this with full awareness that they can still go another direction,as always)that when we know the answer to this we "may" have a better understanding about the island.


message 28: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments lol, we'll have a better understanding in one AREA, but never in all of them.


message 29: by Sherry (new)

Sherry Yeah,there are so many layers and storylines it isn't feasable to expect to have a thorough understanding of the show.But I'll keep hoping,otherwise it'll drive me bonkers.


message 30: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 332 comments We have to keep hoping, otherwise we'd just give up on it.


message 31: by rhea (new)

rhea (zeldamac) And what are we going to see now of Walt? Won't he look to old, will we see him at all?


message 32: by Lori, Offical Lost Lover and Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 880 comments Mod
Rhea, as I mentioned in the other thread, I feel that the Walt angle is over and done with. What we saw last season, when he met Locke, right before Ben killed him, I think that was our closure.


message 33: by rhea (new)

rhea (zeldamac) sorry, I missed that, I am still trying to get through some of the threads being new.

But yeah, I really want to rewatch the seasons, I feel like I have already forgotten so much. But, thanks for reminding me of that cuz now I do remember that it felt like closure. I just sometimes feel like something is missing, but of course maybe they want us to feel that way.
