What is the meaning or significance of the two skeletons that Jack and Kate found in the cave of season 1?
CUSE: The answer to that question goes to the nature of the timeline of the island. We don't want to say too much about it, but there are a couple Easter eggs embedded in [the Feb. 7 episode], one of which is an anagram that actually sheds some light on the skeletons and hints at a larger mythological mystery that will start to unfold later in the season.
LINDELOF: There were certain things we knew from the very beginning. Independent of ever knowing when the end was going to be, we knew what it was going to be, and we wanted to start setting it up as early as season 1, or else people would think that we were making it up as we were going along. So the skeletons are the living — or, I guess, slowly decomposing — proof of that. When all is said and done, people are going to point to the skeletons and say, ''That is proof that from the very beginning, they always knew that they were going to do this.''

Fair episode, but felt a little disjointed from the rest of the season.

Interesting, I thought, was the comment DL and CC made back in 2007:

The Isle Files | TV | EW.com

I guess this is the supposed proof they had this planned all along.

I hated the early turn of phrase about answers just leading to more questions. They seemed to want to tell us, sorry, no answers here.

I'm still trying to figure out how MIB learned that the light/donkey wheel would get them off the island. What, him and his bronze age quantum physicist castaways figured out that it would drop them in Tunisia?

What was the source of Mom's power to prevent them from killing each other? And what was the source of the ability to keep them alive forever (and hence Jacob's ability to keep Richard alive)?

And how did the weird light turn MIB into smokie?

I don't know, I was hoping for a more satisfying episode.

Agree...not satisfying unless they're going to expand on this in the next episode before the finale.

I just the read article in the EW magazine where the producers said they're basically going to go into hiding after the finale and will not be answering any questions for awhile. I'm thinking that there's probably going to be a lot of interpretation left in the finale if they are going to do this and leave so many questions up in the air.

Or....we will find out with a "Lost the Movie" in a couple of years.

Right. Which would be great if we had more episodes left, but we don't. I don't want them to waste time on this, I want to know about the present, or parallel, or flash-sideways....
