Funny, I think this is Pete, you must have been talking to, only because two podcast e-mails ago, his third asterisk joke was about finding out what the island was, and my P.S. was what you just typed minus the Lindelof.
Tuesday, April 27. 2010What Is The Island?
I can't remember which one of you I was talking to that asserted that we don't know what the island is yet. In a recent interview given by Damon Lindelof, he said this question had been answered. While Mr. Lindelof didn't actually tell WHEN it had been answered, I'm quite confident that it came to us in "Ab Aeterno", as Richard and Jacob were talking about the nature of the Island, Jacob, and The Great Deceiver. Holding a wine bottle, Jacob tells Richard Alpert:
"Think of this wine as what you keep calling hell...there's many other names for it too--malevolence, evil, darkness, and here it is, swirling around in the bottle unable to get out because if it did, it would spread. The cork is this island. And it's the only thing keeping the darkness where it belongs." You can find more at Lostpedia's entry on Ab Aeterno. Trackbacks

Yeah I figured that was the answer to the question. It's been hinted at - the Dharma Initiative named the places the smoke came out of as "Cerberus Vents," Cerberus being the guardian to the gateway to Hell. The Island is obviously the gateway.
That being understood, why are the dead trapped there? Does that mean they ARE in Hell? Or are they just trapped at the periphery? |
