Agreed.How about this theory just for the fun of it.
I've heard a few theories--VR game, purgatory, etc.--that all basically boil down to "They woke up and discovered it was all a dream."Now, I doubt whatever resolution this show reaches is going to be satisfactory to everyone, but in my book if they go the "dream" route or any of its variants, I am going to be really, really pissed off.Why not? Because that seems a little out there.
I agree with you. Anything dream/purgatory related would really tick me off.I think the writers and producers have stated a zillion times that that will not be the case. Also, we are supposed to see how the plane crashes this season and hopefully that will put everything to rest.I've heard a few theories--VR game, purgatory, etc.--that all basically boil down to "They woke up and discovered it was all a dream."Now, I doubt whatever resolution this show reaches is going to be satisfactory to everyone, but in my book if they go the "dream" route or any of its variants, I am going to be really, really pissed off.Why not?

I will be interested to see how they catch all the balls they have in the air. I doubt we'll be able to guess it in advance--hope we won't, anyway.
I'm calling it now:The season ender will be how/why the plane crashed and will be a HUGE cliffhanger.I agree with you.

After the "tailies" episode, I don't know why anybody even brings up purgatory/dreams anyways. We literally saw the tail of the plane crash and all of the tailies come out of the water seconds later while the tail was sinking in real time. We even saw Bernard hanging in a tree still in his seat and in season 1 we already saw the plane hit turbulence and break apart.
As big as the numbers going down to 0 cliffhanger? Whew, I almost crapped my pants last night it was so dramatic. That little red bird scared the hell out of me!I'm calling it now:The season ender will be how/why the plane crashed and will be a HUGE cliffhanger.I agree with you.

Often imitated, never duplicated.He tried to pull a Verbal Kint on Sayid and got
How anyone wouldn't want to see more on Claire is beyond me. She is the only one who has spent any time at all with the others and would have some first hand knowledge of WhoTF they are and WhatTF they are trying to do.He said he spent 9+ years torturing people when he was interrogating Henry Gale. The episode last night was the first Gulf War and Sadaam was still in power for another 10+ years. The guy from Highlander mentioned that now Sayid had the tools to get any information he wanted in the future.Connect the dots and it is pretty easy to assume that Sayid stayed in the Republican Guard for several years and kept working in intelligence and became a master torturer/interrogator until Gulf War II.
Maybe he tortured Kate's dad at some point in the future?
Because she's easily the most annoying person on the island. MY BAYBEEEEEI think the episode where they show us where she was could be pretty good -- but I'm just hoping they kill her off at the end. Like I do each and every episode.

Must have missed the 9+ years comment. How does he stay after he tortures his commanding officer? Wouldn't there be some sort of repercussion for that, especially under Sadam? I guess I took the "now you can get any information you want" comment as him being declared one right then and there.
I have no problem with never seeing her again after the next episode — unless she's in a mud wrestling match with Kate and Ana Lucia. It's where she's been and not her that I'm looking forward to seeing.Because she's easily the most annoying person on the island.

Never said I liked her, just that she is one of the folks who actually has information that we are all saying that we want to find out. Locke doesn't know, Jack doesn't, just poor little annoying Claire. Charlie may have a bit more than we know, but I just think Ethan popped him and strung him up with the help of some friends, so I don't think he know anymore than everyone else that there are more than one Other.Actually, Michael may know a bit more now too, or he may be dead, who knows.Because she's easily the most annoying person on the island.

Methinks Mr. Commanding Officer was either killed by Sayid because he knew that he killed the villagers from Sayid's hometown or that the Army put him in the hole where he buried the Pilot he had killed. Somehow I don't think the commanding officer made it out of that situation alive.
Plus, she's waaay hotter than Kate.
It should also give us some more background on Danielle (according to the episode guide, she is with Kate/Claire at the Medical Hatch).

I'll probably get flamed for this as I'm not a die-hard Lost theorist or anything, but just going on what I watch and my personal beliefs of what is happening on the show. I realize that there will be holes on these thoughts, etc. from those who break down every second of every show, but overall what I think is happening is this...I'm going under the assumption that all of these people are already dead and the island is pergutory.
There has been a lot of speculation on this, however the creators have said unambiguously that they are not it pergutory.However, they could be misleading us.....
Also wanted to add on my theory quoted above..... that I believe the Black Smoke is a symbol for the Devil. When it comes, it usually kills somebody, meaning they have done enough to prove themselves as a bad person for the Devil to come and claim them to Hell.Also, this is why the black smoke sought out Ecko and went face to face with him, but didn't take him.....when they went face to face it examined Ecko's past to show his dark side and was ready to take him to Hell, but eventually caught up to his present holy self and retreated, realizing he is becoming too good of a person in pergutory to go to Hell.
I've said since the first time this thought came out, and I'll say it now -- I have no idea why you guys decide to take the creators at their word. If this really was the payoff, do you think they're going to come out and say it, and ruin the whole show?Of course they're going to deny it.
Are we ignoring the film and the likelihood that the island is one giant laboratory?
The makers of the film is Dharma, which in a later post above I thorized that "Dharma" is actually God.God produced this film and gave this info to the people on this island (those in pergutory) as motivation for them to continue running the clock which allows them all more time to prove themselves "heaven-worthy"
Makes sense - "Lost" meaning lost souls that haven't found heaven or hell yet.Mud out
Also, wanted to add one last thought to give credence to my theory that they are all already dead and presently in pergutory (not yet in Heaven or Hell)The reason they continue to show back stories of every character and what has happened in their past life is to get us all caught up on why all of these people are on the island (in pergutory) in the first place.
One thing I hesitated to raise when I was looking into the hieroglyphics, but if you want fuel for this particular fire:Of the first three characters, we're missing the middle one. Using one phonetic pronounciation of character 3, you'd get a word that would look like this in English:

I must admit that I really hope you're wrong. On the other hand, most of the characters do seem to have gone to Australia in search of some sort of redemption or cosmic balancing.I suppose you could make the case that Boone and Shannon had reached the end of that journey in their own ways: Boone by finally freeing himself of his obsession with Shannon, Shannon by finally being able to love someone other than herself.
He actually said it was 6 years of his life he wished he had back, we are not sure if he was there for Gulf War II. But you are right, he spent a number of years honing his skills.
Good catch. It's told from the point of view of a man who's about to be hanged, I believe, and is told largely in flashback....Just found it on the web for those interested. Haven't read it since I was in seventh grade.got this off of another foream.....
"The book that Locke took off the bookshelf was called "Occurrance at Owl Creek Bridge." It's really a short story by Ambrose Bierce, and one of its central themes is the perception of time. "
