Anatomy of a Lost Foiler? Lockegate Begins
Well, we need a good foiler controversy about now. Not that I’m exactly an angel when it comes to those sorts of accusations, but I’ve reformed. I swear. Now, without further pomp and circumstances, I bring you… a foiler.
Tons of response to this posting at DarkUFO. "OMFG Doc, did you read that Locke was in the casket?!"
Wha, who?
Locke in the casket? Sure. That idea would live for like, five minutes in the writers room. Somebody’s sniffing Dharma turpentine.
Turns out this was posted as ‘Spoiler’ over at DarkUFO (maybe muddled the category on this one?). It originates from The ODI’s myspace blog and it goes a little something like’a this:
For those of you that said Ben….nope sorry you were wrong….for those of you that felt it was Michael….nope wrong again…..those who said it is somebody we have not seen before nope wrong once again….BUT for alllll of you that said everyone’s favorite hunter Locke….you are right…!!
Like I said this is from Kristin who is known to be a VERY reliable source on LOST but she also did say the writers changed their mind about showing Locke….soooo at this point who knows……maybe they will change their minds again….!!??
Okay, first of all. As my own peeps are often to admonish me on, Kristin is in fact not a VERY reliable source. She is very loved by the Lost crew but her signature is definitely a little hyperbole and speculation. So perhaps it is better to say, Kristin is a valued source of info, but don’t listen to her speculation.
The problem with this so called ‘Spoiler’ is that the writers could never ever ever have intended Locke to be in the casket. As the ’spoiler’ states, they originally intended to show Locke but changed their minds. Hello. Would that not have blown the entire flash forward disguise?
Let’s remember the flash forward was set up so that we would not know until the end. See this is what happens to your mind when you become too much of a spoiler addict. Your logical thought processes atrophy and you actually think that something like this could be real.
The big reveal of the flash forward WAS that it is a flash forward. THAT was the twist. To the crowds that mangled their brain pans reading Lostfan108’s synopsis, its impossible to understand that other than the subtle clues that point towards that reveal, most of the flash was filler.
The casket is important. BUT, there is no way they ever intended to reveal who was in the casket during the flash, it would have diffused the ’snake in the mailbox.’
I’ve put an email into the TVDiva and am awaiting a reply as we speak.
the odi is trash. To be fair, we can’t blame this on Kristen, because we only know what the odi told us. she was probably fucking with him. Like oh yea, Locke was in the casket.

Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that Harold Perrineau said that and it somehow got misconstrued. I wouldn’t take anything he says as a possibilty, let alone truth.

Someone has a wee bit of inferiority complex *nods head in odi’s direction*. What does odi stand for anyway? Obviously DisIngenuous is my guess.

It is true, I was there! You weren’t! Who the hell are you? I’m well known! I get quoted on many websites and my information and contacts are top notch. Your just jealous. Make fun of me again and I’ll bury this site.
Yeah, Doc - he’s well known! Who the hell are you? You must be shaking in your shoes.
Too funny! I agree with you. If this were true, what are we to make of (1) the newpaper article mentioning the teenage son, being from NY etc. (2) the painting leaning on the wall outside the funeral parlor (3) how hard it would be for a man in a wheelchair to hang himself. In addition to all the narrative reasons mentioned already.

I wouldn’t knock ODI so hard…I think we still have a few possibilities as to who is in there…I think the most likely, as for as we know, is Micheal, but who ever he is, Kate HATES!!!!!

Good old DarkUFOIL is at it again with his "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach.

I don’t like Kristin, she likes to twist and make up thingswhen in fact she has nothing at hand. I agree that showing who was in the coffin in the finale would be pretty dumb. I don’t think the writers had such a thought ever.

In responce the original message, for me i was very curious from the start of the flash forwards. As the cell or mobile phone Jack is always using is the same as mine and i did think, woah thats very bad to show a modern phone in the wrong time period. Then i thought, wait no, this must be the future or something and voila the Motorola Razr was the key to finding out before the end.

Future Locke gets his legs cut off — how ironic would that be?
Explains the short casket.

Jimmy,
Come on now, lighten up ! You have no idea who this important person of LOST connection is.
You have no right to insult another person
I’ve said what I said without insulting you. I’m not happy to make corrections in public. I’d rather lift and build the person up. But your attack on ODI is public
" speak evil of no man " God

Lostiebuds hi there,
I have millions of questions jumping around in my 30 billion neuons, LOL
These questions and thoughts practically never leave my mind which are:
* The island SECURITY SYSTEM
* The sickness
* QUARANTINE
* The Swan hatch muriel
* all about the children
* I find the barefoot jungle others intriguing
*I’d like to see a detailed story on who how why when the hatches nooks n crannies were built and the war between the original island occupents and DHARMA INITIATIVE.
Thanks for the feedback ya’ll : )

I think the ODI has had a taste of fame on Dark’s site and is going to be annoying us all year. These L.A. hangers on get very full of themselves. Look how he took this public event and tried to crypticize it to make it sound like he had some scoop. One can only imagine who his “source” is. Maybe a high school buddy who moved to Hawaii and became a delivery man who gets on set once in awhile or someone who drinks in the same pub as the crew. In ODI’s world, he’s suddenly elevated to “source”. And he won’t be quitting now that Dark is validating him.
