Just wondering if any of you who follow the show have any good theories. I dont know what to think anymore but my big question is this. What is the motive of the others? What kind of group are they anyway? Let me know what you think.

It's a dream sequence. They will all wake up in the seventies. In the same bed, with Ron Jeremy in the middle winking at the camera. There will be a half empty butter jar on the right hand side bedside table.

IMHO.

Purgatory... I've heard that too, that they are all really dead.

The writers have officially said it isn't a purgatory.

The next most supported theory is that they're a science experiment gone wrong.

My beliefs are that they are a government or privately funded group who had discovered the unique and phenominal magnetic forces of the island and in testing and such, something did go wrong and the current group occupying the island (the others) are those maintaing it's secret, while keeping the testing and use of the island going.

If they are purposefully drawing people to the island to populate their own and to continue to test with, it would make sense.  But as we saw, Desmond failing to input the numbers that caused the electromagnetic eruption that crashed flight 815, could hardly be timed.  But then, the writers are leaving no easy conclusions in that direction.


I got sooo mad that Jack didn't try to take out blondie, or the leader, or that sawyer didn't gun down those people (in last nights episode) when he had the chance.  The slavery and imprisonment on them is worthy of the most aggressive behavior and it pissed me off that they haven't attacked.  But then, that isn't reality..there's predefined plots for everyone.

I'm getting tired of ABC shortening each episode with commercials.  Season 1 and 2 both had 38 minute episodes.  So far, this season, they've been 29 minutes and 32 minutes (last night) and i'm sick of it..need tivo.

Another theory I'm favoring is that actually its all going on in Hurley's head and he's in a sanitarium.  If you notice when they do the back story some of the other characters are in the background (Sawyer talking to Jack's Pop in the Aussie bar, Jack meets Anna at the airport bar, the druggie hobbit guy is in the police station when Sawyer is there, etc).  But the weirdest one is when they do the whole episode where Hurley's trying to figure out where he knows the psychologist from, and the episode ends with him in the psycho ward, and she's a patient...and the its over.  It has never been explained...

True, this is a popular theory.  However, I think with libby dying, the photo descrepencies (hugo with his arm around his imaginary friend), and some other things I read on the abc boards, it was abandoned.

I want to know when the nanobot swarm will be explained.  We all know that I, (hotgreenwassabi) on the abc/lost forums was the first to say that the "monster" was a nanobot swarm.  My criteria was that Michael Chrichton is a good, close personal friend of jj abrahms and he is also a writer for some shows on abc and other networks (ER i think is one).  Well, Michael Chrichton's book "PREY" is about just such nanobots and since the frenzy of viewers called that one right on the money, the writers have simply abandoned the monster or bother explaining it.  I think they got mad that they were discovered and it was embarrasing because of the source of their plagiarism.

It will be interesting to see how they end up explaining it..now that we've seen it in full..and since they can't claim it's nanobots now.

Love the show, but it seems to be drifting away from what the show started on, fuckin survival!

They are skipping over so many things, like what happened to Walt and Michael, WTF happened in the vault and more.

I love it, but missed last night's episode.  I was whoring it up on Wake with Kmal.  I'll watch it on ABC.

Is this really debate and serious talk? I though this was the "Bush sucx" area not the "Lost is teh secks" area.

Well, if any of you played "Thelostexperience" on www.thehansofoundation.org, www.sublymonal.com, etc (Compilation of it all is here: www.thelostexperience.com) then you've found out that 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 are numbers in a calculation that predicts the end of the world, whatever it may be.

So, from this, I've gathered that the island is basically a shelter from a nuke war, whatever...so basically them being there is GOOD for them.

Well, believe it or not I haven't looked around any for any articles on Lost theories.  I don't really want to know what happens before it does, but I also want them to hurry up a bit.  Occassionally I feel like nothing is happening (usually just before the end of each season).

And the monster's going to reappear next week.  A better question is about Locke - he knows but isn't telling?

The show is called LOST because you the viewers are LOST, you don't have a fucking clue what is going on, hence LOST

yeah one of my buddies came up with that purgatory idea too... but hes a total idiot and is always wrong so that cant be it... im all for some sort of science experiment gone wrong... test in human behaviour hence the monitoring station (even if it was abandoned)

It's not purgatory, nor is it something going on in someone's head.  The writers have officially announced that they are real people on a real island.

The safe haven idea is definitely possible.

I've also heard it's an attempt at a utopia.  The geomagnetic energy was harnessed to power the island.  The people living there (the others) are well aware of their situation and they try to keep it secret from anyone who may go out in the world and reveal their island utopia.

Well, my theory is that interest in the show will taper off as the storyline becomes more convoluted and audiences no longer want to suspend that much disbelief. Then something else will catch their short attention spans.
