No television show, not even Babylon Five, is ever that scripted so far in advance. Stories change and alter as a series goes on for all sorts of reasons. I think Buffy the Vampire Slayer was. The introduction of Dawn was already being hinted at (by Tara and Faith, IIRC) for like three seasons or so before it actually happened. Whedon had a couple ideas planned in advance for Buffy, like Dawn and the end of season 5, but most of it they came up with on the fly. For example, Wesley was originally created as a throwaway character who'd get killed in a few episodes. Yeah, well that was a waste character anyway. When he came back for that one episode just to leave with The Traveller, I'm all, "what the shit is this? That was pointless." Wesley was the best character ever. That's more in Angel than Buffy though.

Oh shit Wesley was so awesome.

Why are we talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Why are we talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Nathan Fillet was on LOST and Buffy.

Huh? ZOOM! Nice. Very nice.

Why are we talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Nathan Fillet was on LOST and Buffy. And Jin was on Angel as an evil zombie lawyer!

And a non-zombie but still evil lawyer before the zombification. I loved him, cause he was cowardly and spineless, but got shit done by knowing how to tangle people in red tape. Kinda scary, cause you can't stab your way outta red tape, at least not without attracting alot of attention from the police.

Jin and Bernard were BOTH employees of Wolfram and Hart! Would be cool if they could allude to that in Lost somehow.

They did, I just can't remember the scene. Of course Jin's W&H character and Bernard's W&H character never met. (Gavin and Holland Manners, respectively)

Ok, so...jumping back to LOST theories... Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler Has anyone suggested that the post-Island Losties would find themselves in kind of an opposite situation than they were pre-Island? For instance, pre-Island Kate was a fugitive from the law, while post-Island Kate seemed to be doing just fine, wearing tons of make-up and getting a nice tan (how she could manage a nicer tan than when she lived full-time on a tropical Island I'm not sure). Whereas pre-Island Jack did have his issues, he was still a well-respected spinal surgeon, just w/ a fucked up dad, and post-Island Jack is growing Ron Burgandy beards and trying to jump off bridges. This kind of goes back to the others alluding to the 'list' that determined whether a lostie was good or bad. So the 'bad' losties would end up being better off post-Island than they were pre-Island, and vice versa for the 'good' losties. Locke, in his infinite wisdom, has realized this and is trying to stay on the Island at all costs (for reference, see the knife in Naomi's back). some thoughts, anyway...

I'm almost certain that the woman in the car crash is Juliet's sister.

Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler I still can't get over how Locke killed Naomi to stop them from using the phone and then just walked away when Jack did. I know he didn't want to kill Jack but it still makes Naomi's death rather casual and pointless. Although knowing Locke he probably had another reason.

Well he had to have known that everyone would want to use it if Jack didn't say no, and he couldn't very well take them all on. At least Jack might have said no, though, unlike the girl.

It's a lot easier to throw a knife into a strangers back than it is to shoot a friend in the face while he's staring at you.

Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler To me this is almost clear evidence that the people on the boat are bad, and are going to do bad things once they come to the 'rescue'. I mean, if he wanted to stay on the Island so bad that he'd throw a knife into some girl he's never met and knows nothing about, then he would definately have the balls to shoot Jack, even if he didn't kill him, at least put one in his shoulder or something, enough to get and destroy the phone. No, I think it's pretty clear that Ghost Walt/Jacob/Island or whatever told him exactly who Naomi actually was and worked for and thus he had no problem burying a 10 inch knife to the hilt in her back. Which brings up another question...if he had a gun, which he did since he pointed it at Jack and all, why did he throw a knife instead of shooting Naomi? Cause he's all about the awesome and knife throw > shooting as far as killing methods go?

I'm almost certain that the woman in the car crash is Juliet's sister. NICE, because she has the little boy! Props to you!

Woman in accident It seems that other people have noticed this too. Damn, I thought maybe I thought of something new. :[

Really, there is no reason for it not to be her, and since the clues are there, it probably is her. And as usual, probably no one is going to figure out this wacky coincidence.

Well he had to have known that everyone would want to use it if Jack didn't say no, and he couldn't very well take them all on. At least Jack might have said no, though, unlike the girl. He could have shot the phone. Then it wouldn't matter.

It might be difficult.

Shouldn't you be pushing Texas right now, Rats? I... er... um... got an entry level separation because of anxiety attacks. Unfortunately I just couldn't handle the stress. If I would have known I would have reacted that way to BMT I would have never joined. :[

I'm going to have to say no, that isn't the same woman.
