Oddsmakers: Lost: Who Is Him?


It's time for the game that's hotter than Tony Kornheiser with a red afro: Oddsmakers. This Wednesday’s finale of Lost promises that the answers you have been waiting for will be answered including what happens when the clock hit zero and why did the plane crashed in the first place. One question that has been puzzling me since Claire’s flashback is who “Him” that Zeke is and Ethan Rom were talking about. Not-Henry Gale would later bring up “Him” after been found out to be an Other. Now I have no clue if finding out who “Him” is during the two hour finale will be one of the questions that will be answered, but that isn’t stopping me from rounding up a list of suspects. Feel free to place your bets* in the comment section on who you think "Him" is.


Dave (1000:1) - Maybe Dave isn’t the figment of Hurley’s imagination after all. But then again there is a reason why he's a longshot.


Libby’s Evil Twin (750:1) - I have theorized before that Libby has an evil twin, maybe she’s behind it all. But then again I also theorized that Libby was the person whose Jack’s wife left him for, so my theories aren't always the best.


Passenger of Flight 815 (100:1) - Could Him have been on the flight too, and had been the reason it went down where it did, then became the ultimate mole for The Others? Of course then who, Charlie, Jack, Locke?


The Monster (80:1) - What could strike fear in humans more than the wrath of a cloud of black smoke that can chew up and spit out them with ease? Granted not technically a Him.


A Chick (70:1) - On JJ Abrams last show the Big Bad was named “The Man” only to turn out to be Sydney’s mom, so maybe that trend will continue. My leading chick candidates include Rousseau and Miss Cleo or whatever the black chick’s name in the last episode was.


Someone We Haven’t Met (60:1) - This could possibly be the biggest disappointment of the show yet, hopefully this choice doesn’t pay out in the end.


The Field (50:1) - If you think it is someone not mentioned elsewhere on the board, here’s is where you put your money.


Desmond (45:1) - He was an enigma at the beginning of this season showing up in Jack’s flashback only to be revealed as the person in the hatch moments later. Then just as soon as we met him he disappeared into the jungle. I fully expected to see him in other flashbacks throughout this season but we haven’t seen him since kind of poking wholes into him being behind the whole thing theory.


Jack’s Dad (30:1) - He has shown up in the most flashbacks, Ana Lucia, Sawyer, and of course Jack’s and was instrumental in bringing two of them to Australia. It also seems plausible that he is Claire’s father too. When Jack found the coffin empty in the caves he just thought that they didn’t ship his dad in the plane. Maybe he was in there, but left out of his own volition to get back to The Others camp.


Leonard (25:1) - The keeper of the numbers who supposable went insane after hearing them over the radio one night and ended up in the same nut house as Hurley and Libby. Could he have been there solely to give Hurley them? It is suspicious why Hurley made the list, maybe Leonard wants to see his old pal.


Random Person from a Flashback (20:1) - Walt’s step-dad, Claire’s physic, the Second Terminator, Peg Bundy, the guy who was both Hurley’s and Locke’s boss?


Someone From the Orientation Videos (15:1) - The people that set up the experiment seems like to play God, maybe their ego’s are so big from it they don’t even let their subordinates call them by their name.


Ethan Rom (10:1), Zeke (5:1), or Not-Henry Gale (2:1) - The three guys that uttered Him, could they just been the Wizard behind the curtain the whole time pulling the strings? I always thought Rom’s death was too easy after the beat down he originally gave Jack after he kidnapped Claire. Could he have lost on purpose because he knew he wouldn’t really die?

  1. My bet is on Walt.

    I know, but hear me out.

    In the last episode Michael was questioned very closely about whether or not Walt had special abilities.

    We know from last season he does.

    Also, every time he showed up in the jungle, he was wet (which I don't know what it means, just a random point.)

    Anyway, came here thru your Landlord for the week.

  2. I hope that it's a good pay off if we even find out who "him" is. I don't count on it.

    I hope the "him" is Cindy that disappeared right before Ana Lucia thankfully killed Shannon.

  3. Steph - My only problem with the Walt theory is that they talked about "Him" back while Claire was captured. I don't think Walt had the ability to communicate with The Others before then. But that would shed some light on Walt telling Locke not to open the hatch last season.

    Ducky, I totally forgot about Cindy, but I think she's a little too obscure to be "Him"

    Desmond's a good idea, but I'm throughing my money behind Jack's Dad.
