Hurley's Numbers

SAYID: 'It's a loop. "Iteration"—it's repeating the same message. It's a counter. The next number will end … "533".
RADIO: 'Iteration 17294533'.

Was this a hint to solving one of Lost's biggest mysteries, Hurley's numbers?

Yes, the numbers are variables in the Valenzetti Equation, an equation that predicts the end of the world. Dharma was out to change just 1 of the variables, whether it was a polar bear in the tropics or experimenting with space-time. All of this is still the case, but I believe there is more to the numbers.

I think they are the count for the iteration of existence. Like the big bang retracting then big-banging again and so on and so on, they are a running total, a carry-over from the previous iteration, just like Rousseau's numbers are counting how many times her micro-loop had occurred.

This explains how Hurley could broadcast the Numbers(an act which most certainly would have to happen near the end of the series and the end of the character's story arc) without time-traveling back to say 1950 in time to broadcast the numbers for the military listening station. I've been pretty sure he broadcasts them but couldn't figure out how that would work...Hurley being in the 1950s, at the end of the season, seems a bit off. We know the conflict is in 2007.

Thus, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that one of Hurley's final acts will be to broadcast the numbers, +1:

4 8 15 16 23 43.

Might this be one of the final acts on the show, Hurley broadcasting the next iteration, which will exist as creation starts up again, floating through time and space until it's picked up yet again by the military listening post?

Could be very cool, and I'm rooting for it.

Libby, Dave & Hurley

These are the facts:
Libby was a grieving widow, in post-traumatic shock from her husband suddenly dying.
Hurley committed himself to Santa Rosa due to the intense grief he was feeling for being on a balcony that collapsed and killed several people.
Hurley can see dead people.
Libby's husband was named David.
Dave tells Hurley to stop taking his meds, to keep eating unhealthy food, and to escape from Santa Rosa. Years later, when Hurley is falling in love with Libby, Dave(who just happens to be around) tries to get Hurley to throw himself from a cliff.

Why is it the two times that Hurley encounters Dave, Libby is just around the corner? Because Dave is staying close to his wife. Coincidentally, they BOTH cross paths with Hurley twice. They are a tandem. They are connected, husband and wife. This is why Libby gives Hurley a bizarre, eerie look when his back is turned...directly after he describes her husband. She's startled.

Mysteries of the Universe Pt. 2

Again, creepy music, creepier voice...but where's the beef?

The whole video is about how mysterious Dharma is...but the production of it is meant to imply that something evil is at work.

However, if you look at the facts...it's just usual Dharma activity.

For example, in this video, we have Olivia Goodspeed, who apparently disappeared.

We know from the show that she makes it safely to the Island and is teaching 5th grade to a bunch of little kids. Wow, Dharma really is PURE evil.

Pay close attention to these videos, and when each installment is done, ask yourself if Dharma really did anything other than protect itself from being disturbed...it's not like they're finding pools of blood at Olivia's apartment.

It is rather entertaining though, and you gotta love the style of the video.

Mysteries of the Universe Pt.1

Interesting to note the dates that Mysteries of the Universe will be released:

Episode 1: July 23rd, 2009
Episode 2: August 4th, 2009
Episode 3: September 8th, 2009
Episode 4: October 15th, 2009
Episode 5: November 16th, 2009

Hey numbers, long time no see!


Anyways, here's my take on Part One:

Creepy music, creepier voice.
I don't buy it for a second.

In this video, TPTB have taken all of the identifiers of The Others and pinned them on Dharma.

'they walk among us, but are not one of us'. Jack's tattoo. A trickster, imitator, in our midsts.
There is a 20 second shot of a palm tree. It looks exactly like the cover for the album 'Hotel California' by The Eagles, an album cover that somewhat famously has the face of a devil 'upside down' in the palm trees. Seems like everything is being turned upside down.

Since when does Dharma infiltrate? Name the Dharma mole on 815. Has Dharma ever infiltrated the Losties? I don't see how this video is doing anything but putting The Others' skin onto Dharma's body....hmm, I wonder what they're preparing us for?

More to come on this subject.

Blog Like An Egyptian

'Horus thereupon did battle with Set, the victory falling now to one, now to the other ... Horus and Set, it is said, still do battle with one another, yet victory has fallen to neither. '


Set was one of ancient Egypt's earliest gods, a god of chaos, confusion, storms and wind.
In the Osiris Legend, he was a rival to the god Horus.
The eye on Jacob's tapestry is the Eye of Horus.
One of Set's companions was the sun god, RA(Richard Alpert).
Set's wife, Tawaret(statue) kept him chained up in Northern Egypt, which was considered to symbolize darkness, cold and death(the dark territory).
Set was infertile because Horus ripped off his testicles.
In the original tale of the fight between Set and Horus, the Egyptians believed that the two would continue their battle until the end of time itself.
Horus is the god of the day sky(light). Set is the god of the night sky(dark).
Set is associated with premature birth(weakening of Ben & Locke...this was no accident, Nemesis caused both).
With 72 accomplices, Set tricked his brother into lying inside a perfectly fitted coffin(Jacob's murder).
Set is a friend of the dead(imitator of the dead).

To the Egyptians he was the god who 'ate' the moon each month - the 'black boar' who swallowed its light.

This is why John Locke can kill boars. Because he was destined to kill Nemesis.
This is why John Locke chose the knife. This is why John Locke brought knives with him. This is why Jacob stabs a knife into the sand.

The head of the Set-animal resembles the Oxyrhynchus fish.
Set was also known to be associated with redheads.
Jacob uses his knife to filet a red fish. The red herring was actually a red herring.
