LIBBY!!!

Due to the presence of Libby in Lost news lately (for those who do not like spoilers, I will just leave it at that) I have decided to dedicate this blog post to Libby, my 3rd favorite character (1-Juliet, 2-Kate). I would like not only to discuss Libby’s character, but to ask questions and make some theories.

The first time we meet Libby, is when she, Eko and Cindy, stumble across Jin on the beach, after he has come ashore from the destroyed raft. We really don’t learn much about her, until the episode The Other 48 Days, when we learn that she is a clinical psychologist. Other than that, we don’t know much about her. The only glimpse we see into her past is very brief. We see her in the Santa Rose Mental Institution in Dave, and we know she gave Desmond her dead husband’s boat in Live Together, Die Alone. After this episode, we never see her again, due to the fact that she was killed in Two For The Road and she is the only main character who has never been given a flashback.

But, we all know that Libby is more important than what we have seen before. Why was she not given a flashback? Why was she in the hospital? Who is her husband? These questions boggle my mind. I have a mini theory that’s running through my mind right now. I entitle it a “mini theory” because it is very vague.

Libby, due to her odd staring at Hurley in the Santa Rose Mental Institution, is someone who is following Hurley. Libby is following Hurley for either of the following: he knows about and the numbers or she is an undercover psychologist and is sent to monitor LeonardHurley.

Eh. I’m probably totally wrong, but I guess we will eventually find out. What do ya’ll think about Libby?

i always thought is was strange the way Libby was carrying the blanket when she got shot.
like she was covering a shield of some sort to protect her from the bullets. if she can see the future then she would know she was getting shot and would be able to prepare something to save her.

but there are too many holes in the theory ....and Libby ...
