I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but honestly, it would make the most sense. I kinda stole the concept from Eko49, thank you Eko for putting the idea in my head.
Honestly, I never once thought about a clone idea but that would be much more appeasing to me over the whole time travel/worm hole/vortex/parallel universe/alternate time-line crap that has been circulating. I don’t know how well the whole clone thing would go over though.
Wouldn’t it make more sense scientifically? Here are my points and reasons why:
1) These people on the plane were chosen for a reason. They all have pasts that somehow intertwine with each other which has yet to be really explained. My explanation is that these people were cloned early on and needed to be corralled like cattle to be watched… (in a sense) Also, the people in their lives all seem to inter-connect on high levels.
2) They are supposed to be dead in a plane on the bottom of the ocean (according to Naomi and if you believe her). Maybe the originals died and the islanders are the clones.
3) Why else would Ben have all their information? The information on these people were already on the island from this project regardless if Ben knows they are clones or not.
4) Scientifically clones are possible and we have seen this in science, however, time travel and the like haven’t been proven to actually work.
5) The sicknesses are all gone and John can walk. If they were clones then they weren’t exposed to the same things that the “origionals” were therefore clone Rose didn’t have cancer and clone John didn’t fall out of a window.
To make this work they would obviously have to have been implanted with the memories from the originals. I know this is all far fetched, but really, it is more plausable than most other theories out there.
JW: The only problem with this theory, is that Cloning has been debunked by the writer’s of Lost, quite some time ago!
It would explain one of the biggest mysteries of Lost, i.e., how is that they survived an airplane breaking up in mid-air! I guess they didn’t, and clones were made and placed. Seems like a lot of trouble to make a Marshall clone, only to give him a fatal injury. And memories must have been implanted by the monster, which can see the pasts of the people.
But if the Others did have that kind of cloning technology, they wouldn’t need a fertility doctor. And Ben wouldn’t have sent Ethan and Goodwin to hang with the survivors.
Oh, yeah, and debunked. :)
Oh, I had no idea that was debunked… thought I was up to speed on the debunked theories… my bad. I will go ahead and flag this one myself as debunked. I like this idea more so than time travel nonsense though.
Not that you have done this…
But anyone suggesting that our Losties or Others are dealing with clones is automatically suggesting time travel or at the least a difference in time on the Island.
Clones exist and so does time travel in the here and now real world.
Dolly the sheep was a clone that began as a baby sheep and had to grow. Clones don’t start out at the same age of the animal that the genetic material came from.
Einstein proved time travel. Astronauts are time travelers. The faster one moves through space (orbiting the earth for example) the slower time moves for them in comparison to us on the ground.
I didn’t suggest that they were cloned recently. As far as we know the “crash” took place years ago. I know the clone thing is debunked and now that I think about it further it doesn’t really make sense. Their ages are too far apart to make it work. That and Claire is pregnant… I don’t think you can clone someone to be pregnant.
