What do the numbers mean? Why were those guys at the ice station? What’s the deal with Desmond? Why did Locke become paraplegic? Those are all simple, pedestrian mysteries on Lost<\/i>. No, sir, there’s one mystery that surpasses them all given what we’ve seen or not seen in the last portion of Season 2 and the first half of Season 3:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who ate the dog Vincent?<\/h2>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Here are the data points:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • We haven’t seen him since a late episode in Season 2.\n
  • His two main contacts (protectors<\/b>) from the survivors (Walt and that chick) are gone.\n
  • We haven’t seen the survivors hunting boars lately.<\/ul>\n

    The inescapable conclusion is that the either Vincent dog-paddled to Asia or someone has killed and eaten that yellow lab.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

    Let’s run down the possible suspects:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Jin and Sun: Come on, they’re Korean, but that’s too obvious and the writers of the television show would not play to the stereotype. No.<\/b>\n
    • Charlie: Sure, in a fit of heroin pitique, perhaps he was jonesing for some meat. Maybe<\/b>.\n
    • Hurley: Dude needs some calories, but he’s more the sort to raid the stash from the hatch. Probably not<\/b>.\n
    • Desmond: Dude crazy. Maybe<\/b>.\n
    • A polar bear: Hey, why not? Walt got attacked by a polar bear; the recurrence of a polar bear would tie back to other appearances by polar bears and could probably amount to nothing. Maybe<\/b>.\n
    • An tribe of native Pacific Islanders: Sure, we’ve never seen nor heard from them, but why would that stop them from appearing? Maybe<\/b>.\n
    • The ghost of Jack’s father: Well, ghosts don’t eay, but perhaps Jack’s father must consume flesh to reincorporate. Maybe<\/b>.\n
    • The shark: Sharks eat things in the ocean. Hasn’t the dog been known to go into the ocean? Maybe<\/b>.<\/ul>\n

      As you can see, the possibilities are endless. But you can rest assured, I’ll be watching for the clues, such as someone in the background of a shot sucking marrow from dog bones or a character suddenly sporting an Australian rabies tag on a chain around his or her neck. Because I must know.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
