Ärende: Lost - Speculations
===========================


There's a nice article about both Lost and Brent Spiner's upcoming 
Enterprise appearances in the TV Guide for the coming week.  The Lost 
article is definitely the more interesting of the two as it gives some 
intriguing hints about what is to come as well as some pure speculation 
from cast members who apparently don't know much more than we do.

But one theory of mine wasn't proposed and is particularly fitting for a 
forum that  tends to be historically tilted toward Trek chat (less and less 
as time goes on though.)  Has anyone noticed the similarities between the 
happenings on Lost and the TOS episode "Shore Leave?" Things about the plot 
seemed naggingly familiar to me until this past week's episode really 
shoved this concept into my face.  Each of the mysterious happenings tracks 
to things that are uppermost in SOMEBODY's mind.  Examples:

The kid reads about a polar bear and one appears where it really can't be.

Locke's plans are frustrated because people running a safari-type 
expedition won't let him participate because he can't walk - and now he's 
not only walking, he's the chief hunter.  (I don't think Shore Leave did 
anything so outrageous as that equipment created things rather than 
changing the people.)

Sayed tries to find a way to get his equipment to transmit further and he 
discovers the existence of a large power source.

And in the episode just past, fresh water is nearly gone and Jack stumbles 
on a water source - led there by his "dead" father who apparently is 
missing from his coffin.

I doubt that we'll get a Shore Leave type explanation for this along the 
way, but I find the similarities entertaining.
