Adam and Eve

So, I had a crazy thought. The writers have claimed, in the face of all kinds of complaints that they are flying by the seat of their pants, that the "Adam and Eve" characters—the two corpses found in the caves in the first season—will eventually confirm that they did have a master plan to it all. So, get this: 

What if Adam is Locke, and Eve is Helen, the woman he proposed to?

Here's what I'm thinking: Locke is dead, but it seems to me that he's obviously intended to come back to life. Meanwhile, Locke is jumping around in time, throwing knives at people. I think that the idea that "you can't change the past" has been cemented enough to make a fine candidate for the writers to reverse—especially with don't-tell-me-what-I-can't-do Locke doing the reversing. Locke certainly has a past that he would love to change (come to think of it, all the Oceanic peeps have pasts they would love to change... ). So what if he's able to change his past, marry Helen, and join the Dharma Initiative (after going back in time with Helen, or something)???

Also, when Jack stumbled across Adam and Eve in the caves, he found a little pouch with one white and one black stone in it. Remember Locke playing backgammon with Walt, when he tells him, holding up the game pieces, "Two players. Two sides. One side is light, one is dark"?

Anyway, it's becoming apparent to me that I think about these things way too much. Back to work...

  1. I think that's an interesting idea. I just read some Adam and Eve theories on Lostpedia, and one of them suggests that the two people are Rose and Bernard, one white and the other black.

    It will be interesting to see if Helen appears in many more scenes with Locke. She was pretty upset when we saw her leave Locke.

  2. I don't remember Helen at all...refresh my memory?

    I really hope Locke isn't the Adam character because I loathe him and, although I'm sure he won't be going anywhere, I wish he would disappear.

    Ok, maybe not- it IS fun to hate him.

  3. Yeah, who's Helen? Mon, you and GermyB have the most incredible photographic memories. Or something along those lines.

  4. We don't have photographic memories. We just watched ALL 3 previous seasons after watching season 4. So, it's fresh in our brains. And, we cheat (see Lostpedia link in sidebar).

  5. Oh, and Helen is the woman who Locke proposed to. They met because she was member of an anger management class Locke went to. She also tried to help Locke get over his daddy issues, and called it quits after she caught him helping his dad again. See here: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Helen
