Damn good thinking Hulk. Never even thought about that one. That would really open up a whole can of worms.I really hope you are right on this one as I think it would definitely make more more confident in where the show is going, i.e. that they aren't just dragging it out a few more years to make money. Since this is by far my favorite show, I hold out hopes that the writers have had their destination/main story nailed down since day 1 and that they are writing the individual shows to bring us there and make entertaining shows.
Wow, not much discussion on Hulk's reply to bryhamm's semi-spoiler (more of something we will probably see in a preview). It is a crazy thought, which actually makes some sense and could be an interesting story.Just as an FYI, don't go into Hulk's big spoiler above that isn't what I am referring to. I read a couple lines just to see if I wanted to check that one out and it looked like one of those line by line here is what happens in the January 11th episode. I looked at a previous one like that for the Season 2 premiere, after I watched the premiere, and it was exactly what was shown so I won't ever read any of those.

Reading the whole thing now, really makes me back your thought. Like you said there have been leaks before that were wrong, but this could be real as well. [i removed another comment because it could be a spoiler as well - just tired of whiting out.] Who knows and based on the episode number, we are waiting until February anyway.

Nice discussion you're having for those of us not reading the spoilers. It's funny seeing all the posts with either just smilies and empty boxes. The uninitiated would have a hard time figuring out what was going on.

There really isn't much to add about the shows that already aired, and we don't get new shows until Jan... so, I don't see how else this thread is active until then.
so are you guys discussing actual spoilers or just theories? Theories are ok to discuss using normal font, no?There really isn't much to add about the shows that already aired, and we don't get new shows until Jan... so, I don't see how else this thread is active until then.

It's not the point that there are posts, it was just that if someone just clicked on the last two pages, they would see a bunch of empty posts. There's humor in that to someone like me. Really. There is.There really isn't much to add about the shows that already aired, and we don't get new shows until Jan... so, I don't see how else this thread is active until then.

It's theories based on spoiler info from Kristen @ E!so are you guys discussing actual spoilers or just theories?

It's a potential leak that could be a significant event. Call is an "insider theory."The actual tidbit is a one-liner. The rest is speculation on what that one-liner means.so are you guys discussing actual spoilers or just theories?

I guess that is possible, but it sure doesn't sound surprising to me. Oh well, gonna be tough to continue to discuss this since.......there are almost 2 months between now and the episode discussed in the spoiler.same thing i thought right away..

I did a quick Yahoo search on "piddlably" and I don't get it either. One of the two pages where it showed up was the page for the Lost Spoilers we are discussing. I have no clue what it means. Even dictionary.com had no idea and didn't even present a word that looked even close to this.

I liked it better when we did not get full episode leaks, I do not want to read those anymore and now I cannot read any spoilers since they may be referencing those leaks - we need a LOST Leak / Spoiler thread and let people talk there. Granted there will be no new content in this thread until after the next ep airs, but oh well.
I agree with you, though and Hulk said he will do that as well. There is a definite difference between Kristin at E! throwing out a possible spoiler and the spoiler that is a full description of an entire episode before it airs. Who knows if it is true, but there was one before the Season 2 premiere that I resisted reading, but when I went back to check it afterwards, it was dead on, so it definitely would have ruined the premiere.For anyone posting spoilers, please be kind to put a little bit of a description around it. I think most of us don't mind low end spoilers that might tell us a little tidbit that we can overanalyze, but we don't want to ruin actually watching the show itself.

It seems that there has been some new information to be discovered at the Hanso Foundation website. As mentioned previously in this thread, the Dharma orientation video could be accessed via a hidden link on this site.
There are now two more pieces of hidden information on the site. If you go to the bio page for Alvar Hanso and mouse over his picture, you will notice two things. First is that the picture is a link; second is that text appears on the right side of the picture.
Clicking on the picture displays a small Flash animation that looks very similar to the end of the last episode ["What Kate Did"]. The exchange, however, is noticably different. The "Who is this?" question is answered with "Mole." instead of "Michael".
If you wait about 15 seconds after the page loads, the text visible on the mouseover replaces, in the form of a letter, what was previously on the page. The letter is from an official at the Global Health Organization to two Hanso Foundation officials. It concerns a donation made by the Foundation to the "defense fund" of the GHO. It also has something to do with the Hanso Life-Extension Project. The only direct connection I could see between the text of letter and the description of the project is the mention of the Hanso Foundation's experimental facility in Zanzibar.
Zanzibar is a set of islands off the eastern coast of Africa.
Island?
Africa [drug smugglers]?

One thing you didn't mention that I found interesting is that both letters are from September/October 2005. So either Hulk's thought about the show being in the future is correct, or the Dharma/Hanso work is still continuing while our survivors are on the island. Based on the state of the facilities, I think that Hulk maybe correct and something happened to the Dharma initiative after 2005 and it isn't really running on the island. On the other hand, it could be an interesting storyline if the experiments are still being observed on the island.Just some interesting food for thought.It seems that there has been some new information to be discovered at the Hanso Foundation website.

Has anybody posited that the show is supposed to be in actual "real time." Meaning that what we see on the island is actually what should be going on right now. Instead of it being in the future the island is actually live and what we do on the message boards and such twists and turns the island in ways that we control. 'We' meaning the posters on the Lost message board.The island in not in the future but it is in real time.

So you're saying they read the message boards, write the episode, then film it before Tuesday at 9? Each week?

No, but havent the writers and such said many times that they are informed of what is theorized and such? I see the show two different ways. The first is that the writers take snipets about what people say and steer clear of what people "think" will happen. Thus, no body ever gets anything right because they write away from what people think will happen. I admit this is a stretch but whatever.Second, I think what we see going on the island is "actually taking place now." Instead of this show happening in the future, what we see is actually going on now. Similar to what happens on Reality TV. We see things but we dont see everything and we see it a few weeks after it takes place. I think the survivors on the Lost island are living their real lives but they are all a part of a reality series that is meant for the people to watch. Much like a Truman Show hybrid type thing.
