Abandoned

Hey all! I love this show!!!

What we learned...thoughts..and theories...

We learned that Shannon's father was the man that Jack's future wife hit in the car accident - he of
course saving her and eventually marrying her. (Did you see Jack walk by when the doctor turned and
walked toward Shannon and her step-mom). I think this was mentioned earlier but we received confirmation tonight.

Walt I think was saying to Shannon in the tent, "Shannon, don't follow me". I am not sure if Walt
is dead or if he is with the others and sending messages back to them. Addition: Just found the audio played
backwards (I suck...what do you expect?!? It was backwards!) Anyway he says: "they're coming, they're their close."
There is a faint dog bark in the background meaning that he was in the forest in the rain warning Shannon of this moment.
Was he warning them about Ana and the group or the others??? In the forest, he is just telling her o Shhh!

The others must look like normal people for Ana to have shot Shannon. Or perhaps she was just trying to
shut her up? Actually the growing theory is that she wasn't the one who shot Shannon. That is was the French Lady (bigger gun, notice the gunshot sound was loud) and maybe Ana shot the dog (because it was low to the ground, running fast, kind of like the wild boars). Remember Ana said that "one bullet wouldn't stop them." So why would she try? Shannon was also screaming Walt's name and Ana knows about Walt.

I don't trust the psychologist either (Cindy)....she should have known her friend wasn't behind her. Something is off with her.

Lots of parallels between Echo for the Tallies group and Lott for the main group. Could be interesting to see them together.

But below is my theory on the whole Walt and Whispers thing:

I always thought that time shift is a major factor on the island. I think that things shift sideways or jump forward.

An example would be the first view of the hatch with Desmond and he is clean and it is bright and fresh. Then the alarm and he is scruffy and the place is leaking water.

Another is Walt...always dripping wet in his visions to Shannon and his recent sighting in the rain when she is shot, warning her.
Could his speech be backwards because he is moving backwards through time? When time catches up, and they see him he will speak normally.

Back to the whispers, I think the whispers are them...all of them. Speaking to each other in another dimension to time. If you try to make out what they are saying...some of the words sound like normal conversation.

I think the "others" know the island because it is them in the future stranded for so long. DOesn't explain everything...but makes a little sense.

That's it for now. Thoughts?
