We started to watch it and then when we moved the US was on a different series and we couldn't get caught up. Last thing I saw was when they set out on the raft. Yep, I know, it got soooooooooooo much better after that.  |

I can only watched Jack and Saywer get beaten up so many times.. Oh well, hope it changes soon.. *gigglesnort* Me, too. Come on, can't Sawyer ever land a good punch! Please! Oh, he did break what's-his-name's nose (the leader), didn't he? If they are going to focus on The Others this season, they'd better start telling me a bit more about the woman who is always talking to Jack (can't remember her name, either). Although, the leader having a tumor does make an interesting twist. Will Jack operate on him or not? Will Jack fix him or try to kill him during surgery? Hmmmm.... BTW, my theory on what next season will focus on is The Island itself. There's something going on there that *isn't* manmade, and I think that is what drew The Others in the first place. I think I read somewhere that the creators intended for the Island to be a "character," so to speak. |

Their other option, which is what I've heard they are going to do next year, is to follow the 24 model and wait until the winter to return with a full season shown with no hiata(? plural of hiatus?) and no repeats. I haven't minded the break, it's given me a chance to watch the 1st two seasons with the new info in mind. They so frequently show an actor giving a facial response that belies things that happen later, some time much later. Most of these things (ie: Kate's reaction to Sun taking the pregnancy test) were probably written and then acted with out the actors having any clue why the director told them to make that face. I've had faith all along that they're not "making it up as they go" and that all questions will be answered. The sheer number of seemingly minor ocurrances that end up more than a season later having an impact has given me this faith. Charlie's death is likely, he killed Juliet's plumber (Ethan) and she's supposed to be the shooter. Also, we are supposed to get a lot of back story on the island this year: who built the four toed statue, how Dharma got there and (with luck) how many factions other than the survivors and "the others" there are. There are at least three groups, maybe more depending on how big Juliet's resistance movement is. There's the Hanso group, the Dharma group and the survivors. Best guess is that the others are Dharma, left there after a break with the Hanso group. For a good laugh, check out this link. I love the name of the toy company, and the second version of the action figure is one of the funniest ideas I've ever seen. |

I don't know if there have been many theories banded around cos I don't often read 'Lost' threads on any board, as I don't want spoilers due to the difference in UK/US until recently...
But I wondered about the possibility of them all being drawn there for medical reasons... many of the characters' back stories are to do with either physical or mental health issues in one way or another (even down to drug reliance, I guess you could say) and the island has 'healing powers' it seems. Maybe it's a big global medical experiment?
I can't remember allllll the medical things now, but there are a lot, the other half and I started to notice it in series one.

I'm addicted to this show as well. I read an article about rumours of Jack being killed off. If so, I wonder how they will kill him off?

@astrid/peckish...THAT's a cool theory. Ok, I'm a LostTard so..... I was thinking, based on your theory, that if The Others are Dharma people who split with the Hanso people, maybe The Others were the "guinea pigs" of sorts for the Hanso experiments, and they overtook The Island as a sort of revolt. The Others/Dharma don't know how to get off the island either, and then they are also still at the mercy of The Island "character." And, when someone further up in the thread mentioned Jack getting killed off, I didn't think it would happen, but Charlie seemed like a logical choice for a major character being killed off, for the reasons you stated. BTW, I can't read the Lost boards at abc.com anymore because there are so many theories put forth it makes my head spin.  |

Remember the girl that SUN shot on the boat? That girl told SUN that they know all about her.....even called SUN by her fullname...which clearly startled SUN before she shot her.
What I find wierd is that Henry states he was born on that freakin island - why in the world would you want to live there? |

What I find wierd is that Henry states he was born on that freakin island - why in the world would you want to live there? This is one of the areas up for interpretation, along with exactly what Eko told Locke when he died. We didn't hear Eko say what he said, and Locke quoted him as saying "you're next". Did that mean "You, John Locke, are next" or "You, the rest of the survivors, are next"? Henry didn't say he'd been born there, he said he'd lived there his whole life. He could consider earlier life spent off the island as being a different life, like being born again. He doesn't seem to believe that the island will cure his cancer as it seems to have done Rose's so that's not a reason for him to stay. I didn't follow the Lost Experience, but I've read most of the recap of it so I know that in the canon for the show there is a view that the world has an end date (when the world will be destroyed by the hand of man, the equation was sought after the world nearly ended with the Cuban Missle Crisis), that "the numbers" are part of the equation that reveals the end date and the Hanso Group are supposed to be working to change the equation to extend the end date. Perhaps the reason Henry wouldn't leave if he could is to continue the work of trying to save the world. He did tell Michael "we're the good guys". I believe that to be true to a degree. The lengths the "good guys" would go to in order to save the world can't really be imagined. If you knew that by killing five people in cold blood and allowing four others to die you could prevent a holocaust that would incinerate the earth would you not think you were a good guy for killing them? |
