[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 1806924, member: 9298"] time for me to jump back in after not commenting last week. i still have to believe that the maifestations are real. it obviously cant manifest EVERY thought the any of the survivors have, and some of the things on the island are obviously REAL and not just manifestations. So the question is to figure out how "it" picks and chooses what to manifest. I loved the quick swerve on "Colonel" Locke being revealed as an office flunky. And the wheelchair bit at the end was nice, and although this could be explained as a shock to his system, it also fits into the mainfestations. Now whether these manifestations are supernatural like the word manifestations implies, or there is some sort of real-world explanation consisting of covert operations and government doctors experimenting on a group of people, i dunno. But there is a definite connection the thoughts of the survivors and what is happening around them. I think :-P whether people are behind "it" or the "it" is intelligent like swrushing suggests, i think there is clearly SOMETHING intelligent on the island with them. I agree that the lack of camera on the animals and the plane crash itself is a budget concern and nothing more. I also thought the Jack not being a "real" currently practicing doctor was brutally obvious from day 1. He comes across like the Dr.Strange origin type. Young rich doctor injures someone, or doctors for money only, then has some problem (injury, alcholoism, cowardice, grief, etc) that causes him to stop practicing. This is also the main reason why he doesnt want to know about Kate's past...he doesnt want to tell everyone that he wasnt a currently practicing doctor himself. Also, this fits in with what Rackhir said, that MOST of these people don't want to leave the island for one reason or another. I tend to like most of Rackhirs speculations. I could even buy the "theyre all dead" thing the way he explains it. [/QUOTE]
