HOLD. UP.

There's a Second Picture!!!!



Interesting differences. Thoughts from anyone?? Bueller?

Everyone seems to be getting in on the fun because even the New York Times has posted some theories:

In both pictures, the character John Locke (played by Terry O’Quinn) sits at the center of the table. But in the first image, he is stern-faced, while in the second image, he seems to wear a beatific smile. What’s he so happy about? Is he the key character to this final season? Is he just happy he’ll never have to make another “Stepfather” movie again?

If you flip between the two pictures, you’ll notice that the characters of Miles (played by Ken Leung) and Claire (Emily de Ravin) appear to swap places. What does this mean? Does it have anything to do with Miles’s mysterious ability to communicate with the dead, and the fact that Claire is (or seems to be) dead?

In the first image, the married couple Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) are next to each other, but in the second image they are separated — just as, in the current continuity of the show, they are separated in time by more than 30 years. Is a reunion in their future, or will they be kept apart permanently?

In both pictures, Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is the fourth figure from the left — the position in which Judas Iscariot was seated in Leonardo’s painting. Does this mean he will eventually betray Locke or the rest of the castaways? Is this in any way connected to his apparently failed attempt to kill Ben last season?

Also in both images, you’ll find Kate (Evangeline Lilly) on the left side of Locke. Does this mean that, as “The Da Vinci Code”taught us, she is pregnant with Locke’s child?

OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
