A Good Sign

Today, there was actual Lost conjecturing happening over e-mail, between a few of us who enjoy the show (you know who you are). I've really missed that sort of thing for awhile, as it seemed like people had stopped trying to figure out the mysteries, possibly because they had no confidence that any would ever be resolved.

An interesting one put forth was that cloning is involved, and that possibly the Others have been cloning people for decades. So the fertility issues could be because of the cloning, or the cloning could be because they'd become infertile. This theory also speculated that the smiling, happy Jack Shepherd shown at the end of last week's episode was a clone, not the one we're all familiar with. (Part of this was fueled by a belief, without having re-watched the episode, that "Jack" in that scene was missing his trademark tattoos... but having just checked that out, I can report they're still there, just mostly covered by a shirt sleeve.)

I love it when people are engaged enough to spend time thinking about these sorts of things...
