Faerie Tale
Jan 12 2007, 5:08 PM EST
It all seems very fey to me. I mean as in the OLD faerie tales, before Disney got hold of them. When Faeries were NOT pretty and nice, but were depicted as selfish and chaotic and considered humans to be amusing playthings... when they were in a good mood. Faeries were also, by the way, thought to kidnap human babies and young children because they needed "new blood" to infuse with their own dying breed, in order to survive as a race.
The Big Picture story behind Lost (and sometimes I suspect behind this dream we call "real life") is probably akin to some kind of huge jigsaw puzzle, and probably many of the theories stated here are merely pieces of the puzzle. They will make a coherent picture eventually, but only once we put them all together in the right order. Other pieces of the puzzle may include: - the fact that Faeries and advanced races "from space" have often been suspected to be one and the same (you can throw "angels" and "gods" into that equation, too!) - the whole X-Files (and other movies'/books') premise that secret government organizations are in cahoots with the above, ostensibly "for our own good" etc. - Also somehow the whole "Superman" premise comes to my mind again and again: wherein criminals from the planet Crypton were banished here to keep them out of trouble, but it all went horribly wrong when they got loose. I sometimes think the "others" may be these kinds of banished bad guys. - also, remember, Frodo: there are other forces at work besides the will of evil. :) Oh, yeah - did I mention that it's not just one jigsaw puzzle, but several that got dropped on the floor and mixed up. Still... the Picture is in there somewhere... ! 5 out of 27 found this valuable. Do you?

"That's not how you spell fairy either duh""that's not how you spell farie"... "That's not how you spell fairy either duh"... If you want to pick nits, the fikrst post is closer to the truth. For SOME references, WikiP. can be useful, i.e.: The word fay came to English from Old French fae, and originated in the Vulgar Latin feminine fata, referring to the Fates, personifications of destiny (the Greek Moirae), e.g. Fata Morgana or Morgan le Fay. English fairy was loaned in ca. 1300 from Old French faerie "land of the fae, enchantment", an abstract noun of fae (fae-ry as in e.g. yoeman vs. yoemanry). From adjectival use ("fairy gold", "fairy queen" etc.) from the 15th century applied to the class of supernatural beings inhabiting faerie, re-interpreted as an adjective of fair, singular fairy with a new plural fairies. The term fairy tale is a translation of the Conte de feés of Madame d'Aulnoy (1698). The spelling faerie first appears 1590 in Spenser's Faerie Queene. From Spenser's use, the spelling with -ae- came to be used in a dignified or poetic sense as opposed to "vulgar" tales. J. R. R. Tolkien makes use of the distinction, in On Fairy-Stories defining Faerie as "the realm or state in which fairies have their being", depicted as a mystical or visionary state in his Smith of Wootton Major. I know that's also not how you spell "first"; it's called a typo, most likely what the first poster did. But let's put aside the flaming, please, and save it for the AOL message boards (they can HAVE it all...); people here just like the show and want to talk freely about it. (unless that was just you correcting a typo; then please accept my apology) 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |
