the lost isle

I’ve looked at a quite a few LOST sites before making this post as I didn’t want to write something that had already been theorised - but as it stands the sites I’ve been on don’t have any theories about this, so I’m going to go right ahead and write it! (Please let me know if this has, infact, been mentioned before!).

The writers have always said there’s a big clue in the Pilot episode of LOST and between Seasons 3 and 4 there were alot of picking at straws, trying to disect what that clue was. Now that Season 4 has finished, I think I’ve found the big clue the writers are refering to!

Remember in “The Shape of Things to Come”, when in the first scene we see Ben lying on the ground in Tunisia, appearing to have only woken up? At that point of the Season we didn’t know how, or why he ended up there. But as the Season Finale unfolded we are now set to believe that Ben ended up there as a result of moving the Island.

Now, in the very first scene of The Pilot, we see Jack Shepherd lying in the middle of the jungle when he wakes up startled. To me, this scene and the first scene of “The Shape of Things to Come” are very very similar, and I think the writers did it on purpose.

So, what does this mean?

Jack couldn’t have possibly moved the Island and then appeared in the middle of the jungle as a result, and even if he did he would’ve had some sort of recollection of what had happened.

I’m not entirely sure the why’s and what’s, but maybe the Island set Jack up in that position so that eventually Jack could return (from the past, from the future?) and repeat the events that have already occured, only this time, do them right?

I don’t know if I’m going in the right track with this, but I think that these two scenes being very similar means something.

What do you think?
