Since last nights episode, I have developed two new theories.
Theory 1: Deja Vu Causes a Flash Sideways Character to remember to Original Timeline[]
Think about it. All the characters who have remembered the OT have had something similar to what happened to them in the original timeline happens to them.
- Libby: Met Hurley.
- Charlie: Nearly died.
- Hurley: Went on a picnic with Libby.
- Desmond: Met penny at the stadium.
- Daniel: Saw Charlotte.
- Locke: His injury made him remember somewhat.
How will other characters remember things? My theories:
- Claire: Giving birth.
- Kate: Being there when Claire gives birth.
- Juliet and Sawyer: They meet up somehow.
- Jack: Meets up with Kate when Claire is giving birth.
- Miles: No idea.
- Charlotte: No idea.
- Boone: Convinces Shannon to get out of the abusive relationship.
- Ben: No idea.
- Jin and Sun: The birth of their daughter, or just their love.
- Ilana: No idea.
- Sayid: No idea.
- Rose and Bernard: Rose's cancer goes into remission. (Like a cure.)
Theory 2: The Man in Black's control can be broken if someones sees how bad he is.[]
Desmond explained to Sayid how the MiB was lying to him, and then he was a good guy again. Claire seemed genuinely shocked and distraught that MiB had killed her friends and was going to "finish the job". She may be free of his control.
Tell me if either of these theories makes any sense.
