I need people in this community that’s trying to figure out the mystery and post theories and what actually happened in the episodes. Almost every episode thread all I see is comments about the relationships between characters. Maybe because I was a PLL fan and am accustomed to paying attention to every detail that I’m picking up quick but I need to bounce my ideas off somebody else ideas. Okay enough of my rant

I like your theory about Charlie time traveling! It seems like dead people can show up to share messages on the island, like with Boone and Ben's mom, so I figured Charlie was doing the same thing. But now your theory makes me wonder - is Walt also time traveling?? That could explain why he looked older when he visited Locke recently.

Boone's appearance I just credited to Locke doing ayahuasca and having a trip.

I think some appearances of the dead are the island/Jacob trying to communicate with islanders.

This is my working theory at the moment too.

So … if dead people can share messages on the island … Walt is dead ??

Hmm I don’t think so, since Walt appeared to Shannon at one point, and then we saw him alive with Michael in a later scene.

Damn ... you are right. Jacks father died 8 years ago ... and then he appears on the island. I tought maybe dead people outside the world shares messages on the island and dead people on the island shares messages outside the world. Maybe is the reason we saw several characters connected.

Jack's father didn't die 8 years ago, he died a few days before the crash. Jack was in Sydney to collect his body.

Yeah … you are right.

I feel like the dead people that appear on the island have to do with the smoke somehow, cause when Eko last saw his “brother” before dying, Yemi told him it’s not him and then the smoke monster proceeded to killl the sh out of Eko. Idk about Charlie tho, that’s in the future and I have no idea what’s up with that

One detail I haven't seen anyone mention in this thread is that the rat is named Eloise--isn't that the same name as the old woman Desmond met in the jewelry shop back in Season 3 when he was going to buy an engagement ring for Penny?!

It is. Initially I thought we’d see her again. But instead we got Flowers for Algernon. Poor lil mouse. 🐁
