It's ALL Walt...

[ghostman]

Once again, bear with me.

Remember how Walt can make anything appear? For instance, don't you remember how he made the polar bear appear from the JSA comic?

If this is true, Walt could've very well created the plane crash, "the others," the survivors, the food, what not, and most importantly, the Island itself. This is all Walt's doing. For what? I don't know... he's sick. He needs help. He was molested by Michael Jackson. Who knows? The only thing certain is that he's got trippy mutant powers. Perhaps he wanted to test his biological father's love for him.

it does really seem like walt is somehow really important to this whole thing, moreso than any of the others... however i think walt doesn't realize his role in it all, or only vaguely. you're right about that polar bear thing, i remember thinking he had created it it from his mind... he did it in a flashback too once, he was looking at a book about exotic birds and then one appeared and flew into the window and his parents were really freaked out.

there's also his blind luck at backgammon... every time he asks for numbers, they appear.

just had a weird thought, maybe the fortune teller guy that whats her name visited about the baby, was just confused and was actually seeing walt in her future... michael didn't raise walt, someone else did, and now walt has become something he shouldn't have.

i also don't think walt created the others... i think he does make things happen and appear somehow... but i think he's along for the ride in a lot of ways just like the others, despite what he is...

Walt's got powers so strong, even he's incapable of controlling them. In this regard, yes, he did create "The Others." He really just doesn't know it yet.

BTW: What fortune teller? Mind you, I've missed many, many episodes of Lost.

the pregnant girl (really can't remember her name) went to see a psychic for fun (in a flashback, after she decided to have the baby), and the psychic freaked out and gave her money back and asked her to leave, then for four months called and harassed her that she couldn't give the baby up for adoption like she planned, because the baby had to have her good morals and kindness instilled into it... or something terrible will happen with it... noone else can raise her baby... and finally he convinced her to take flight 815 to give the baby to someone in the usa... but really he knew it would crash and hence she would be forced to raise the baby herself

Ah I see. Thanks for the recap.

So are you saying Walt is that girl's baby from the future?

[kermit]

no lol..... i was saying that the psychic was looking into her future, and saw a child that was some kind of demon thing, and assumed it was hers. he was actually seeing the fact that walt would end up in her life one way or another.... and then unwittingly caused it to happen. it's far-fetched and just a random thought, not really worth discussing

In the camp of "the others", the woman, "Clue", asked Michael many questions about Walt's mental status. She asked if Walt had ever "been someplace where he shouldn't be". She was talking about teleportation - or bilocation - whatever you want to call it.

Projecting oneself, or an image of oneself, to another location. She was talking about Walt showing up in the jungle - after he'd been taken off the raft to the other hatch. Shannon saw him in the jungle and tried to follow him. Walt had used his mental abilities to appear in the jungle.

This island not only has some special "healing" properties, it also enhances mental abilities - such as ESP and teleportation.

All "the other's" seem to know our Losties' names, and what the Losties are doing, and what their relationships are.

Children are especially open-minded to such things - children are the perfect subjects for Dharma to develop any latent abilities.

Someone even managed to teleport a polar bear to the island!

Dharma knows about Walt now, they'll never let him leave on the boat with Michael. The heading they gave Michael will take them right back to the island - the island's magnetic problems won't let anyone leave.
Why are Walt's special abilities important to Dharma?

Walt was molested by Michael Jackson?

No. I'm just throwing out a bunch of possible scenarios to prove my point. It's sometimes referred to as sarcarsm.

In one of the later episodes, the psychic admitted that he was a fake. He said he would research his subjects and then cheat them out of their money with his visions.
