I was just thinking about this, and why is it the Oceanic 6, not the Oceanic 8 - I mean its gotta link with the numbers right? And then it hit me.
6 lotto numbers.
And then a lightbulb went off in my head has I remembered a theory that I had back in S1, back in the CH4SF days, heck I think I even included it in my orginal GUT!
6 numbers. 6 losties.
Basically I used to think that each of the 'losties' 'has' one of the 'numbers' (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) and that some of the 'numbers' had at least one or more 'lostie' attached to it.
Now Im beginning to think that the way to finding out who the 'Oceanic 6' are is if, somehow, we link one of the numbers to a lostie. Sadly I cant remember who I linked to which number that well so there are gaps but see if this sets anyone thinking to who can have what number.
I am also open to the possablity, that in fact there are two sets of 6, the oceanic 6 and the island 6, the 6 suriviors of the crash who, for whatever reason, failed to make it off the island. This also leads us into one of the other themes of the show, that of duality. Of course this means that maybe, some are destined to die has well
Thus I belive that we could have the following groups oranised has follows:
Number Oceanic 6 Island 6
4 ??? Locke
8 Hurley ???
15 ??? ???
16 Jack ???
23 Kate ???
42 ??? ???
Now, obviously, the '???' means I dont have a clue who has that number because I dont have any good reasons why they should have that number. But I do belive that Hurleys number is 8 - if I can get the screen shots Ill show you but the news report in the latest episode was on channel 8, and the lotto ticket seemed to show a number 8 on it. Jacks 'number' I belive is 16 because of what he said in the piliot about his first solo procedure being on a 16 year old girl. Finally I belive Kate has the number 23 because of the Aus$23,000 reward on her head for her capture.
Has for the 'Island 6', I belive that the number 4 belongs to Locke, because of his connection to the island, and the fact he spent 4 years in a wheel chair.
