Ben's Painting - Page 2

Any theories to what the blue object is to the right of the woman in the painting?

Wow, I couldn't make that out at all, but then again you have the eyes of a lizard and I only have the eyes of a delicious winter entree. So there you go.

I like the Dorian Gray theory someone mentioned. I don't know if that's what's going on, but it is in keeping with the literary allusions all over the place. Could this mean that Annie is still a child running around the island somewhere? Maybe she's playing with all the kidnapped Lostie children and keeping them from aging as well. Keeping them "good" because like Holden Caulfield said aging to adulthood is like falling off a cliff where you lose all of your innocence and authenticity on the way down. Annie is the symbolic catcher in the rye? I like that.

Who's the silly now?

What an interesting thought! That could be it! We know one of the original purposes of the Hanso Foundation (Parent of the Dharma Initiative) is The Life Extension Project. I lean toward it being subtle differences in the time loop we are being shown (think of Mrs. Hawking's conversation with Desmond about buying the ring.)

I read somewhere that Cuse and Lindelof joked that in the very last episode of Lost they would have Joop, the world's oldest orangutan and part of the Hanso Life Extension Program, explain all of the mysteries of the island.

Are you talking about the flower pot or something else, meadowbrook?

I think it's the flowerpot. That's the only blue thing I can see.

oh, duh, a flowerpot, that makes sense. I thought the red flowers were part of the background - not flowers in a pot. I thought the blue thing was something filled with water.

Is that gun in the picture with her, or simply leaning against the painting?

Love the Dorian Gray theory. The painting seems to look more like Juliet as it "ages." I really want to know who is and or where is Annie.

Agelessness makes me think of pregnant women on the island. Why they don't survive nor do their unborn children. Perhaps, the women still have some aging but the fetus does not have normal aging .. therefore the need for those 'injections.'

Claire's unborn child was conceived off the island-and also treated ON the island... to age/mature?

However, we see that Walt aged from his last episode... to when he talked to Locke... was Walt taken off the island and is on a boat outside the 'zone?'... because clearly that child is older!

And maybe the writers are watching sites like this .. to catch all their glitches in writing! (suggested in a different thread)
