LOST Experience: Where is GidgetGirl?
Rachel’s last two posts have ended with her asking the question “where is GidgetGirl?”. I figured that this is worthy of some discussion, and the fact that Rachel gave her admin status on her blog means that she is or at least will become an important character.
From UnseenPresence’s storyline recap:
GidgetGirl is a complete unknown at this point. She is a name in the comments section and nothing more. GidgetGirl first appears on 6/21, when she claims Blake is as immoral as McIntyre when she posted a defamation of his character through the pictures of him with his mistress. Blake refuses to remove them.
Fri, 6/23: GidgetGirl again posts to the comments section, and a fascinating development happens: Both GidgetGirl and Blake acknowledge they have ‘reasons’ not to be entirely forthcoming. GidgetGirl again asks Blake to take down the McIntyre photos and Blake again refuses. Could GidgetGirl be McIntyre himself? His wife? Perhaps THE MISTRESS? And yet again, we must wonder–WHY is Rachel so determined to go after Hanso?
Tue, 6/27: GidgetGirl apparently gives Blake enough information that Blake agrees to take down the photos and to give GidgetGirl admin access to the blog. This makes her much more likely to be an important source of info in the future.
Fri, 6/30: GidgetGirl’s access to inside information is pretty impressive. She is the one who tells Blake where Mittelwerk has gone. She also says that she’s heard about Valenzetti more than once and then tells Blake about the savants working on the equation 24/7. She clearly has a strong inside connection. So who -is- she? When Blake announces herself as Persephone, she asks whether GidgetGirl wants to tell her name as well. GidgetGirl doesn’t rise to the bait. Who could she be?
One interesting possibility about GidgetGirl exists–could she be the real Persephone? Persephone’s hacks were from a very clear moral ground, as GidgetGirl herself appears to be. GidgetGirl is also far less obvious about who she is…which meshes with Persephone as well. Finally, even with the Rachel’s statement announcing herself as Persephone, there remain those who doubt Rachel’s abilities. While GidgetGirl seems smarter, more capable, and appears to have stronger inside information.
I’m thinking that maybe she was on the HELGUS ANTONiUS, and as such does not have access to a computer. If she is on the boat, then I’m guessing that her next appearance on Rachel’s blog will be from where ever it was that the boat went. However, I think that it would be increadibly cheesy if we find out that GidgetGirl was now on the island.
Brennan from Dharma Secrets noted:
I’m thinking that she might be Macintyre’s GWC girlfriend. That would explain why she wanted the pictures down and how she knows so much about Mittlewerk’s movements. If that theory is correct, then she’s probably back in Denmark by now and maybe trying to find out from Macintyre where Mittlewerk went to.
UPDATE:
Well, It looks like Brennan may have nailed it. In a phone message included in Rachel’s Italy 06 post, GidgetGirl admits that she and the man that she loves are involved in whatever project that the Hanso Foundation is up to.
However, listening to the phone recording (GidgetGirl’s directions for Rachel to meet her in Paris in particular) has got my inner theory monger on edge. I smell a trap!
