ok, i hope you forgive me for posting a thread from another forum, but, i really wanted to share and not reinvent the wheel or steal someone's work.
anyway, during the reveal of the 13th print, at SPIN NY, they played a video, and lost fans were told to watch carefully to see clues about season six. there were some very quick (VERY) glimpses of items. this thread is about one of those items, called the Linder Gallery, a painting from the 1620's. very interesting:
thoughts?
thoughts about the other screencaps? I know one of them involves something to do, from what i can surmise, with other bigger spoilers. i do not know what they are, nor do i want to. so if you talk other spoilers in here can you please warn? or abstain? the stills themselves were released by tptb and they want us to know this stuff so i am ok with it, but not the rest.
VERY cool, Rach! You always come up with the coolest stuff.
Did you click on the link "At the intersection of Art, Science and Mystery"? There is a wonderful video that goes into Michael Gorman's interpretation of the painting. The part that struck me the most is what is written on the piece of paper on the table.
It is a depiction of the 3 views (at the time) on the universe and at the bottom (in a different language) it says "Different people see it differently". The 3 views were interesting to me as well. One is the system of Ptolemy (with Earth as the center of the universe), Copernicus (with the sun as the center) and the 3rd is a compromise between the 2. THAT seems like a very interesting connection to Lost to me.
What are your thoughts, Rach?

i don't think its a spoiler but some might. i do not think that previews, interviews, tptb's commentary, podcasts, etc. are spoilers. its what they feel comfortable revealing and they would not do anything to spoil us at all.
i think this painting is fascinating. never heard of it before. Lisa, i agree when in the video they were talking about how people see the world differently, it was jarring and i feel an initial set up for the fans to prepare to see the ending differently.
science art and mystery. thats what lost IS. so, i think we will have scientific explanation and mysterious explanation for this piece of art we call lost. i think this painting is also a call to see the world outside the box beyond what is accepted, and i think some of the reveals this season will be just that, surreal and crazy.
also, it continues on this greater theme of things previously thought mutually exclusive coming together - here, science and art. in lost generally we see this theme often, science and faith, others and losties, etc. its all, to me, under the umbrella of live together die alone.
in short, i think this painting is a metaphor for whats about to go down.

Do you think that the three views has anything to do with how the number three keeps turning up in LOST? Be it three years, thirty years, etc., three always has a way of showing up. Perhaps there are three realities.

and of course the possibility that there will be a third to jacob and MiB. OR, that there will be more than 2 sides to the war, or that we the audience are the third, that we are the representation of the compromise of two sides? very interesting. three has been everywhere and yet still remains to be revealed.
IDK, but i bet there is a lot in this painting. i think the very fact that its so complicated, intricate, full of details and mystery is a representation of lost too.

If you think about LOST in terms of the Schrodinger's Cat Paradox, it is alive and it is dead at the same time essentially, it is the observer that concludes which one is true at that time. The observer is the third principal. The same for the show, IMO, we are the observers. We will be left haning in the end, I absolutely believe that, they will not say WHH or TCC definitively, we are the observers and will continue to see it as we always have. We are the third party. Also, I have always believed and posted several times, that both Jacob and Nemesis have a "boss" to whom they report. Otherwise, I don't think it would prove to be so difficult to go from one alternate world to the next and need a loophole to transverse the two. I've waited a long time for the three to be revealed. I hope it is.
