Star Wars.
Midichlorians 'explain' the Force.
Well where do they come from?
That is exactly the predicament they were attempting to avoid. You can only go so far.
(not the most knowingly Star Wars fan so beat me if I say something stupid)
then I see that as Jacob's mother, whose mysticism I accept, its impossible to go to the beggining, the creation of light and all, and I wouldn't want to.
and yes, i DO think they avoided some major plot points on purpose because they felt like they would be too much to be deepened. But as I said, i like how much they explained about MiB, no complain there.
I could ask you WHAT was Walt? WHAT were his abilities after all?
But the most important is WHY was he like that?
not even a mysterious answer was given to that, it was just… forgotten...
MiB is like that BECAUSE he was thrown into the light (BTW, why wasn't Jack? was it because MiB was evil hearted? maybe..), at least that was 'explained', thats why i dont mind
EDIT: @ taboo: yes, you do have some points there (told you i might have left something out), but you HAVE to have noticed hat there is a lot of uncertainty in your questions, you don't have any clues for some of my questions, that's why you use many "maybe's" and "probably's", but I'm repeating myself...
BTW, i said Rose and Bernard because they said clearly "we don't want anything with you"... then how could the island and the Losties be the most important things to them? (since they were in the church with them)
EDIT2: still @ taboo, but, if it was their purgatory, outside events don't matter, a purgatory is a mystical place related to the ones living it, if the ones in the Purgatory don't know about something, then it won't exist in the Purgatory, I know i explained myself badly here but doing it in writting and in english in a turn-based conversatition is not easy to say everything you want
EDIT3: @ Greg, I also don't like scientology, its has become self-contraditory and ridiculous (didn't many of the high standers admit it was all fake?), but still, i don't like dissing any possible belief (i just called scientology ridiculous didn't I? ups...), I don't have the power to say whats right or wrong in religion/philosophy since I don't know the truth myself
