the island still won't let michael die.

what do you think his purpose might be now? considering he already carried out ben's orders.

Michael's death has already been recorded by the Island... it's in the hands of Fate now.

Yeah I found it strange that the gun stopped working, like it did before when Mike tried to kill himself... I don't know the purpose of it, or how it works

We have now seen three attempts to fire a gun and kill somebody only to have the gun malfunction or there be no bullets. Jack tried to kill Locke but the gun was supossedly not loaded. Michael tried to kill himself but either there were no bullets or the gun malfunctioned. Same thing with Kemay trying to kill Michael. We can suppose this all means that the Island does not want Michael or Locke to die. It might also explain why sick. When Jack tried to kill Locke he became an enemy of the Island.

I definitely agree w/ you on the part about Mike.. the Island really doesnt want him dead it would seem.
I also think that Jack's appendix, was just that.. imo the Island doesnt make every one on it, become in perfect health..







"dude!!!!"

Let me apologize in advance if there is another thread out there that goes into this already. What I wanted to discuss had to do with Michael, after the captain had told Keamy he was the mole. I'm sure most everyone noticed that Keamy actually tried to shoot Michael (more than once) but the gun wouldn't fire. I'm curious if anyone is speculating on how this could tie in to Michael's destiny. I've brainstormed a couple ideas, one being that Michael will actually be the one to stop Keamy (thinking back to when Tom had said Michael was needed again). Any thoughts? Thanks.

Definitely means that the island isn't finished with Mikey yet. The island according to Tom believes Michael still "has work to do." I think that's what we know... whatever that means, I am not really sure... but I think it has to do with helping or not helping Jacob in some way.

Yeah, Mike is pretty invincible right now. He could take on a team of merc's if needed.
Hmmmm.....

I think Michael's destiny is to save the lives of the people on the Island from the freighter mercs by sacrificing his life.

Well, maybe not. He's not super-human, the mercs could still kick his butt up and down the boat. The fact he can't die just means they can beat him longer :biggrin:

if the Island can stop bullets from firing, why can't it kill the engines to a freighter before it even leaves dock?

Desmond was going to shoot himself but Locke intervened, and Ben shot Locke but his missing kidney saved his life. Coincidence or fate?

he has to fix da boat
duh

then he can go die

Michael most def. has not yet fulfilled his destiny.I think he will survive and go back home but eventually try to kill himself and this time,he will be able to do so....

Sorry that this is off topic....but when did mike become an mechanical engineer. wasn't he a struggling artist in S1, that was working occasional construction jobs to support his school bound wife and son? (this has been bugging me since we started learning that
mikey was the only one that could repair the freighter. I'd bet that Sayid could fix the freighter over WWAAAALLLLLTTTS daddy.)

Sayid is no longer on the boat and on his way to the island. Apparently, Michael had learned something about engines, while working with construction. Don't ask me how. Ask Cuse and Lindehof.

Question: once Michael fulfills his destiny and dies . . . does that mean others like Locke, Sayid, Sawyer (aka CLAAA-AAA-IRE!'s protector), Kate and Jack should do the same?

if the Island can stop bullets from firing, why can't it kill the engines to a freighter before it even leaves dock?Because when Michael is protected, it's a matter of "course correcting." Giving the Losties the ability to fight the freighter is just course correcting on a larger scale.

Michael always had some kind of engineering/architecture background. I don't remember the details. He's the one who identified the hatch's blast doors, and he designed some kind of water conduit system for the caves.
100%

That's not the half of it. That is one filthy boat, and there's only one mop.

Seriously, though, my guess would be that he is still supposed to blow up the ship, at some opportune time. However, he somehow has to survive that if he's going to end up in that casket.

I agree that Michael will either destroy the freighter or eliminate the mercs (maybe by sabotaging their weapons?). Either way, he still has a destiny to fulfill, and I agree with many of you that Michael's fulfillment of his destiny will ultimately be his demise.
