"I want to go Home" - Fandom Forums

lost-lover · 02-07-2010, 07:17 PM

As said by the Flockeness monster to Ben. My own theory is that Flockeness's home is the Temple and that's why the Other's there are so determined to keep him out. (My original idea was Jacob's cabin being his home, but that idea's gone up in smoke (

) alongside the cabin itself). I need to rewatch the episode because there are a couple of quotes I was planning to use to support my idea, but I've forgotten them now.
So, does anyone agree with this theory or has anyone got any other thoughts as to where Flockeness means by home?

I took "home" as meaning heaven. And not for happy reunions.

An evil fallen angel.

Probably heaven or at least he wants to die, but it could also refer to the real world.

I am also convinced that he meant heaven and we all know that can't be allowed to happen.

I'm drawn more to the real world idea - I'm not quite sure why, I just think perhaps that is what it means.

Maybe long ago, the ancient people plucked this figure from the world, and set upon him this immense power, looking at him as their deity or something, and he longs to leave this power, this life, and return to what he once was.

Or another idea, maybe not so much heaven, but if he was a god that was put into this body, trapped in this body by these ancient people (try to think Pirates of the Caribbean - how calypso was imprisoned in the body! Best way I can think to explain it

)

Another variation on the Calypso idea:

read this!

From that passage, is Flocke perhaps Odysseus, longing to return to his normal life, his wife (though by now you'd assume she'd be dead in terms of island time!), but he is confined to live on this island by the forces of some greater being/God?

Personally I disagree. I don't think he meant the Temple. Afterall he is living under the Temple.

I'm not sure where I think he meant, but, he was really angry when he said it, it scared the hell out of me, great acting Terry, but I think he knows he can't go there.
Anyway if he was wishing he could go home I'm sure he'd have said it in a fonder way. Usually when you're hoping to be somewhere else it's a nice comforting thought. Flocke was not having comforting thoughts at the time!!!

Personally I disagree.

The temple that we saw in LA X is actually about a half a mile away from the ruins we saw in S5
