Australia is the key to the game? What’s that about?
by LiRa
Hurley said this on last night’s episode while Locke, Sawyer and him were playing Risk — “Australia is the key to winning the game”? It struck me as odd that he would said that so clearly, it stood out. It was like a hint the writers were dropping on to viewers. Or it could be just something to throw us off (like we’re not so confused by all these questions and theories already!)
And what’s the game? Is it the game that is intensifying between Ben and Widmore? One is trying to find Penny, the other is trying to find the island….who will get there first?
Do you think Widmore is Ben’s constant?

It’s a board game called Risk. You have to try to conquer the world. If you control Australia, you have a really good foothold in Asia that’s almost invincible. It’s just a board game.

Thanks Bob. I am familiar with the board game and I understand how it’s played. But what I’m trying to see is that Hurley said something that just stood out, while they were playing Risk. So I was thinking that it relates to the conclusion of Lost in a way.

I don’t think it’s as big a deal as people are saying it is…BUT if i was to make a big deal out of it, think about who is the only character on the show from Australia: Claire! So maybe in a subtle way, they’re saying that Claire is the key to everything?
Just speculation…I honestly think it was just a line, but who knows!
