I think the journal will tell them everything that is happening to them, which is why Ogdy is possessing Miljan to take it. If he has it then the others won't be able to know how to understand the time loop and figure out all of the strange things that are happening.

I like the idea of a hidden message especially if Miljan's in on it. However, she had to go somewhere and my best guess is to the locals. This means it was either by choice in a trance or by force and Miljan gave her to them. <br /><br />If Natalie did leave on her own in a trance, she could be a sacrifice to the thunder god Ogdy in an attempt to break the time loop cycle. If they somehow returned her to her youth and she is the child in the woods I don't know if she can be rescued. I think she is with the locals in the woods, wherever their "base camp" is and possibly like in Lost they kidnapped Claire because she was with child. Maybe they need youth, maybe she was a sacrifice to the gods or maybe she was the first to realize and connect with her previous life thus returned to the locals where they all should be if they hope to avert Victoria's prophecy that they will all die.<br /><br />I am having a hard time hypothesizing how they would turn her into a child, so it not being "our" Natalie makes since. It's possible that her 1908 counterpart was a child. I thought the child also resembled Berglind and maybe that is her 1908 self. I do think that there are other versions of themselves trapped in a time loop or parallel universe due to the event. I think this has to do with Victoria's vision of they all will die. Maybe it wasn't a vision of their future, but of a life they've already lived in which they didn't survive. Now it's time to try again and I believe that if they follow the clues and their memories from their past lives they can avert death. In essence, understanding what happened and what went wrong to break the cycle and survive. It was out of character for Sabina to comfort Natalie and I'm not sure what to take of it. If the child is a different version of Natalie, this might be Sabina's past life seeping through and beginning to realize her connection with Natalie.<br /><br />I think that being stuck in a remote location with a small amount of people there will be bonds that form naturally. They all need friends, lovers and people who they can trust to work together and survive. Their past lives seeping through explains why these bonds are easily formed as they have been friends in a past life. I think Sam cares for Daniel regardless of anything else and wants the best for him. I don't know if Sam's story is necessarily connected to Annie & Natalie's just because he found the bracelet. I think the bracelet is important, but possibly not for Sam he is just the one who found it. That being said I think that all of their stories are related and intertwined. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting! I love to hear what you think and bounce ideas off each other. I think my biggest recent discovery is that Annie's name is actually Anne-Marie which provides a stronger connection to the bracelet and 1908. Looking forward for more concrete info that we can build off of or add to in new episodes! As always I'll have my weekly recaps that include some theory ideas and I will keep doing specific theory updates when big things are revealed or more little clues add up. Keep theorizing! <br />- ShaylaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927102711280582815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293284997386802929.post-33605917200851019942013-08-10T00:19:49.185-07:002013-08-10T00:19:49.185-07:00I definitely don't see Natalie just leaving wi...I definitely don't see Natalie just leaving without saying goodbye. While she might have missed her ex, even though she was abused, having new feelings for someone and really feeling loved and appreciated would break that cycle. It would be something she wants to pursue rather than something she'd run away from. I saw the clip with Miljan covering the camera, the only problem I have with it relating to Natalie's abduction is that there was no one in the room when he did it and it's unlikely that he would've been able to go back and kidnap her quietly with all the girls sleeping. In addition get Annie's journal from under her mattress as she slept and force Natalie to write a farewell note. Plus I'm not sure Miljan was aware of their relationship. The camera was also recording inside the bunk the next morning meaning after all this he snuck back in with the girls asleep and uncovered it. I think it's more likely that Natalie got up early and then possibly Miljan kidnapped her from the fire pit outside or, in the middle of the night Natalie was in a trance like state, possibly due to memories of her past life, wrote the note and ventured to the people in the woods. There have been a lot of other scenes that I would have liked to see, but were not aired or waited to be aired later on. I think there is a possibility that the camera's were on but they didn't show Natalie leaving to add suspense, it doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't footage of it. But you never know!<br /><br />I think if Natalie left on her own, possessed by past memories, she wrote the note. Esther is a good thought because she will do anything to win, but I also can't see her kidnapping Natalie without a fight and waking the others. She also could have done it early in the morning outside but I'm not sure she was aware of Annie and Natalie's relationship either and I don't know where she would stash Natalie if she kidnapped her. I don't think she mentioned Natalie and Annie relationship until after Natalie had left and she saw how upset Annie was. I wouldn't put it past her, but I don't think she could force her to leave and so far we haven't seen any connection with Esther to a past life just really cruel tactics to win the game. I guess she could have handed her over to the locals if she has been in contact with them and we don't know about it, but that all seems a little far fetched. Right now, I think the most plausible thing would be the possession from a past life (and yes, I realize how crazy that sounds!) I think Miljan is definitely having breakthroughs from a past life and could very well know Natalie's importance. He might believe that Odgy has powers and wants to harness them and thus gave her to the locals like a sacrifice as they too believe in the powers of the thunder god I just have a hard time believing he would have been able to kidnap her from the cabin. There has to be more going on there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927102711280582815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293284997386802929.post-66604000458667506252013-08-10T00:16:28.609-07:002013-08-10T00:16:28.609-07:00I know what you mean!

That's why my blog helps to get it all off my chest and out there into the world to hear what others think. <br /><br />Ever since Sam found the bracelet I thought of Annie (as you read in my post for that week). I didn't notice Daniel calling Annie Anne but I will definitely check that out as I have all the episodes saved on my DVR. The one lover to another completely supports the connection to Annie as she and Natalie have sparked a romance. With the discovery of the skeleton with the same locket as Sabina makes me think they are trapped in a time loop but there must be a connection to the 1908 settlers as the bracelet was inscribed 1908. Could the original settlers be past lives of our current contestants? I think this is also supported by Miljan having memories seeping through. For example: instinctively knowing the totem pole is actually a representation of a real Evenki god named Ogdy as well as being able to at least somewhat understand the journal written in Russian by an original settler connects him to the 1908 group as well. The sketch is an interesting thought and it makes total sense that she was attempting to explain something she couldn't put into words. However I think it was also a way for her to get out some of her feelings for Natalie as she hadn't yet shared them.<br /><br />Something to think about is the fact that the actresses real name is Anne-Marie, they call her Annie but I think this is an important fact that we've looked over!<br /><br />I will also have to look back on that scene with Annie and Natalie, I agree that she acted much more comfortable with her surroundings then she would be if she was new to the area. Possibly not being drawn to a specific place but just more knowledgeable with the terrain than before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927102711280582815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293284997386802929.post-2960423335263934212013-08-08T20:45:13.176-07:002013-08-08T20:45:13.176-07:00Another scenario regarding the letter. Natalie ac...Another scenario regarding the letter. Natalie actually wrote it, but was forced to do so. Perhaps her kidnapper(s) threatened Annie's life if Natalie didn't write the letter. She made sure it would hurt Annie to keep her from coming in search of her. Therefore protecting Annie in the only way she could in that moment. It's also entirely possible there is a message hidden in that letter that Annie missed in her emotional state. Perhaps something she'll pick up on after she finds out about the button being a fake and the producer’s camp being trashed. She may have destroyed the sketch she did of Natalie but she kept the letter intact for a reason. I believe it’ll be reviewed once Annie begins to piece things together and realizes Natalie is in trouble.<br /><br />Bottom line is Natalie isn't gone and she's going to need rescuing sooner than later. I truly think Annie will be the one to launch the search for Natalie. But she has a lot of questions to get answers to first. Who has Natalie? Why did they take her? Where would they keep her? How does she rescue her? Does she let the others help or is this a journey she has to take on herself?<br /><br />As for the creepy little girl I do think it is a version of Natalie, but I don’t think it’s our Natalie. I don’t think Natalie was transformed into a child. Instead I believe this is another version of herself. Did the light event cause a rift in the continuum and are we seeing alternate versions of them interacting? The bones Sabina found are almost certainly her from an alternate time. In which case the identical necklace suggests someone who lived an identical life to her own up to the point of her death which leads to a whole score of questions. I also find it curious that during the light event it is Sabina comforting Natalie when she has her breakdown. Then in the next episode Sabina encounters what could very well be an alternate younger version of Natalie. If so what is their connection in this whole thing?<br /><br />The more episodes air we’re exposed to more and more natural bonds that seem to exist without effort. It’s not just Natalie and Annie that have found one another. Sam and Daniel have a very strong father-son bond. Daniel and Irene have a connection that neither them nor us as the viewers can entirely define yet. I find it curious that it was Sam who volunteered to stay behind with the woman Daniel cares about. Seems a very fatherly move on Sam’s part in this moment. Trying to figure out what his place in Natalie & Annie’s story is as I’m certain his bracelet is crucial to them. What is his connection to them? His interaction with them has been limited but what interaction they have had seems important.<br /><br />I think some contestants have bigger more important parts to play in this event than others, but they each have a part to play. I’m curious to see how the beacon mentioned in press releases for upcoming episodes plays into the overall picture. So many questions right now and no definitely answers that don’t reside somewhat in speculation and theory, but I have a feeling we’re going to start getting answers in upcoming episodes. <br /><br />Great theories post and I hope you don’t mind how crazy long this thing is. As it is I trimmed out a lot from what I originally typed. So many theories and questions running through my head about this show and your theories post only inspired more thought and theories. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts on this incredible show.<br />Aimee Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047860391811709447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293284997386802929.post-21825293117865309202013-08-08T20:44:32.762-07:002013-08-08T20:44:32.762-07:00Natalie certainly didn't leave on her own. As...Natalie certainly didn't leave on her own. As you mentioned she was more than ready to stay and fight through this game with Annie after their kiss. I also get the feeling that this ex she mentioned was the one she suffered abuse by. While she mentioned missing him it's not uncommon for the abused to still miss their abusers even after what they've been put through. It's twisted and screwed up, but sadly real to life. With that said I think Natalie was beginning to see that she deserved to be loved when Annie revealed her true feelings for Natalie. I don't think Natalie would have just taken off without at least a face to face with Annie first. <br /><br />That leads to one possible theory that I'm still waiting to confirm with more solid evidence, but here it is anyway. There is a quick clip in the 2 minute Siberia promo where Miljan is covering the camera in the girl’s cabin. If you look over his shoulder it looks like Irene may have been in her bunk at the time. While it's easy to say this happens after ep. 5 I can't help but feel like this is a reveal of how Natalie disappeared with no video evidence of her exit. <br /><br />This leads to questions about the letter. To me the handwriting definitely looked female. Did whoever took Natalie, and I'm leaning towards an inside job, force her to write that letter or did someone like Esther assist in Natalie's exit? She did say that she thought there was something growing between Annie and Natalie and how better than to get rid of a determined contestant like Annie then to hit her where it hurts, square in the heart. Now if she was involved it was likely just another strategic move to get rid of another competitor but Miljan's intentions would have likely been more sinister. She may legitimately have no idea where Natalie is now, but if she and Miljan did something to Natalie then Miljan will likely need to be cleaning up that lose end sooner than later. Miljan took an interest in Natalie early on and while most of it happens in the background he spends a lot of time wrapping his arms around her. Could he be aware of some bigger role she has to play and that’s why he arranged her disappearance? That is again if he is behind it. <br />Aimee Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047860391811709447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293284997386802929.post-89432233862360989802013-08-08T20:43:40.154-07:002013-08-08T20:43:40.154-07:00I promised you a reply of my theories so here goes...I promised you a reply of my theories so here goes. Forgive me if this seems a little scattered and repetitive of things that have already been written as I read you’re a post at work today and all these ideas have been growing for weeks. They’ve kind of taken on a life of their own and every episode causes my theories to alter a bit.<br /><br />Sam's bracelet with the name Anne on it seems more and more connected to our Annie as I review back through previous episodes. Back in episode 3 when Daniel finds Johnny and Irene in the forest he refers to Annie as "Anne" when he comes to tell them about the tiger. Could have been a slip on the part of Daniel the actor, but I don't think so. It's not a coincidence that someone called Annie "Anne" in the very episode that the "Anne" bracelet was found. It is Natalie that notices it on Sam and first takes interest in it to which she tells him that he thinks it was given from one lover to another. Coincidence that in the very next episode the Annie/Natalie romance kicks up a notch? I don't believe in coincidences and this show. <br /><br />I find your theory about their past lives beginning to seep through very interesting. It's likely why Natalie and Annie's bond intensified so rapidly. I think something was already beginning to return to Annie when she was sketching Natalie. She seems to express herself through her art and I think the sketch was something she impulsively had to do to try and express what she couldn't quite grasp. <br /><br />Interesting is that when Annie took off into the woods she seemed to unconsciously have a destination in mind. Was Annie being led somewhere before Natalie altered her course by following after her? Annie even admits later to being in a weird mood during their encounter. I feel like she was being drawn some place, but where and why?<br />Aimee Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047860391811709447noreply@blogger.com
