As with my previous blog entry about Heroes theories, I simply don't want the work I put into this post to go to waste. Expect an upcoming post about how House M.D. has gone downhill (quite the decline) in its most recent season.

jacks dad not dead. the real gamechanger | 05/24/2007 9:49am

Ok, at first I thought as a possible explanation that he was pointing to the fact that even in death his father's alcohol level would be way above the "allowed" limits and that it was a sort of joke to point to his father's rather obvious relationship with alcohol. Then however I came upon a theory here on tv.com (damn you) that for now seems to explain everything. It is also very possible that the writers want us to think this and will actually take the show in a different direction. Now the proposed theory is...that they did in fact fly through a rift into another dimension. One in which there were no survivors of flight 815 (which I had previously thought was propaganda put up by the others rebel alliance. It has also been stated that it is not a purgatory so that is ruled out), Jack's father is still alive (but dead in thier own world), Locke's father thinks that both he and Locke are dead (because in this dimension, Locke did in fact die when he fell, how else would his father not have known that Locke continued his life to eventually become a regional manager at a box company)(I had previosuly thought that Locke's father was simply in a car accident caused by the initiative to get him on the island and drugged to get there as they had done previously with Juliette) and there in fact is no place for them in this alternate universe. This might explain why they aren't supposed to leave the island as it isn't thier world, why Jack would want to return to the island (the purposed "mistake" they made was most likely not that they were ambushed by antoher enemy but rather that they can't return to their own existance. (also making Charlies sacrifice pointless) Ben it seems was lying the whole time when he said thy would all die, semi-proved by when he was about to leave the camp to cut them off at the radio tower, he was asked what he would do. He replied by stating that he was going to make them stop. He never implied that he was gonig to tell the truth which he may well not have known or else one might assume that he would have provided them with it. Kate might also find that the deaths she caused are reversed in this universe and it is chance for her to start over as with many of the survivors), a security system that nobody knows about (in terms of what it is protecting which would in fact be the space/time continuum or something to that effect), and why Michael/Walt have not returned with help as they have by now realized that it is a separate world by either returning to their own or simply observing the differences in where ever it is they went. Walt I think is using his extraordinary gift (and possibly receiving a boost from the supernatural abilities of the island) and communicating from another dimension (most likely thier own) and thus the ghostly appearance. I will re-watch the season(s) to see if I can find any more clues to support my theory but it is what I currently think to be true. I would have gladly lived in ignorant bliss if it had not been for this website although due to the genius writing staff I can't say for sure if I am right or simply being fooled. Can anyone prove me incorrect or even further the theory? Aaron and Jacob are still a mystery to me although I assume the same can be said for most of you as well.  -  There is an article I found long ago that somehow related a consciousness on the island to a powerful Psychic that summoned the passengers to the island in order for Aaron to be born, allowing him to take host of a human body.  I think this presence is Jacob.  It is hard to describe the theory as I have long since forgotten it but it might explain both of them.
