I noticed that...but I never thought of it as having something to do with the plane crash...it defintaely has something to do with why their compasses never work though ;)

But you could be on to something...maybe that's how they suck new "victims" on to the island ;)

The new LOST was amazing.
Here's my prediction/idea:

**SPOILER**

I think that the hatch/tunnel/underground lair is Hell. And I think that guy from the stadium is Satan. It's crazy and out there, but...

**UNSPOILER**

Anyway I can't wait for next week!

That's a pretty cool idea alky...I never thought of it like that. And I don't think it's too far out there...anything can happen on that show...you never know ;)

Excellent point.

16 DOWN....8 TO GO


Well actually 9...gotta watch the new one.

First season DONE.

Very good show....good writing,good acting. I can see me getting frustrated trying to following it, now that i can't just pop the next disc in.I'm gonna watch the new season opener tonight and be ready for tomorrow nights show.

The Island is actually a big ship. It can move back and forward and can sink below the waves if needed.

I base this on the following...

How did the Polar Bears get there and a nigerian drug ship if the island is now somewhere in the South Pacific. The answer is that it moved to those places. At some point in time the island was near the arctic or off the coast of Africa. Same applies for how the Black Rock boar got there, the island was somewhere in the Caribbean/Atlantic.

When Sayid tried to use the compass he realised that something was throwing the compass off. That would happen if there was a lot of metal nearby (like below them).

The tide came in really fast and the people were nearly washed up on the beach - that would happen if the Island started moving in a certain direction and the water would be pushed against the island.

How did the black Rock ship come to be Inland? I.e. the ship is not on the coast, but on the land - the island emerged under the ship.

The rescue planes could never find the island - the island is not known by any other authorities - the only way to achieve this would be to keep moving the island.

Is the cable running off the island - not for power, but for an anchor? (OK, too thin to be an anchor).

The black smoke could be for the machinery that powers the island and moves it.

The stuff down the hatch could be machinery - everything under the island is metal and machinery.

The girl who drowned - did not drown because of a rip tide - she drowned because she went off the very farthest edge of this "ship" - there was not more sea bottom underneath her - only deep ocean.

There are two possibilities for all the other factors.

1. The Supernatural (Spiritual) theory. This is somehow the afterlife, or some god factor (remember the Deus Ex Machina episode), or some alien technology or alien ant farm. They all fall under this category. anything supernatural.

2. The Natural Theory. This is the Govt or civilian or criminal conspiracy theory. There is a rational explanation for everything, but it involves genetic experiments, or super technology and all these people are tied together somehow in the conspiracy or derivatives of this conspiracy. There is a rational explanation for the monsters and sickness. Also includes the Pirate Theory. maybe somebody can elaborate on this for me because it is the weakest part. But in this category I put pirates, criminals, etc. the others are the children of pirates, or slavers who were shipwrecked on this "island" a long time ago. they are now into criminal activity, drugs, abduction, etc. The others who captured Walt are simply pirates or criminals. A vast criminal empire - James Bond type arch enemy.

into the above three categories the island/ship theory would have to fit.

Just thought what you think

Wow, dude, that's a really, really good idea. Evrythng you said makes perfect sense. I never thought of that, and it's kind of creepy.

That made my morning better man, thanks.

P.S. Last night's episode was very good, but there wasn't enough new stuff, a lot was just recaps of last week!

Nice theory's Phantom.Although i can't agree with the "Island is a ship" idea. If it was some sort of ship that kept submerging and resurfacing, wouldn't the polar bears and Black Rock be washed away.

I think its more along the supernatural lines that have a tie in with Walt.He's reading a comic book with polar bears on the cover and all of a sudden there are polar bears on the island.

And what of Locke's ability to walk.And now whats with Desmond showing up......I DON'T KNOW...I'M SO CONFUSED.

For the record....when Artz blew up...i jumped of my chair.

The creators of the show have flat out said it's not an afterlife thing
