2 1/2hrs... i predict 1hr worth of commercials
1) why couldnt MiB destroy the island w/the h-bomb?
2) how did jacob come to/from island?
3) What are the #'s? what do they mean?
4) why did they have to enter the #'s into the computer every 108 min?
4a) how did this stop the electromagnetic occurance?
5) backstory of the egyptian statue?
Near the 10th anniversary of the finale episode of Lost (May 2010), i found the answer to my Question #3.
lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Candidates
The 6 #s represent 6 of the possible candidates to take over Jacob's job as protector of the island.
each # corresponds to a lighthouse compass degree setting that veers into that person's life.
There are over 100 candidates, each represented by a unique # but those specific 6 #s keep reappearing throughout the show.
ie: #'s entered into the computer, Hurley's lotto #s, underground hatch door part #
Thats because they were the final 6 candidates for the job.
I still dont know the answer for my question #4: why did they have to manually enter the #s?
why couldnt a simple subroutine be written to automatically enter the #s every 108 min?
(also, yeah Pandemic and lots of down time to revisit great shows with terrible series finales.)
