What's your "Lost" theory?

[SuzQ]

I listed the top theories that I've heard others guess, or read on the internet.

Mine is that they're all dead & in some sort of "pergatory". Hello?? The only people who didn't have a real shady past is Locke (who I think is a "guide") and little Walt, who is just "special". Sooooo, of course the "island" wants him, like the "house" wanted the little girl in Poltergeist....everyone's DEAD, I tell you! LOL!

My husband thinks aliens put them there & are observing them like one, giant "ant farm".

My Lost theory is that it is a really overhyped show where they take five weeks to actually do anything... and thusly I have stopped watching it...

But apart from that, I was in favour of the bermuda triangle thingy

 

[Meriadoc]

I think there is some sort of Bermuda triangle thing going on. Or else it is a place where some sort of secret government experiments go on, and thus the people cannot leave.

I clicked the Bermuda triangle one. It seems like the one that fits the most.

Hmmm...interesting answers. You know what? I agree with y'all - I'm switching my vote to "they're all dead" to the Bermuda Triangle theory. Why? Something just occured to me - the "others" who took Walt we're in a motorized boat. Why didn't THEY leave the island? Because they CAN'T, they're trapped in the triangle. Ah-HAH!

It IS the Bermuda Triangle, I tell you!!!

I think they are dead !!! Locke was in a wheelchair..on the island he can walk!!! But then the wierd thing is....Boone died!! how could a dead person die?? hmmm..i like the government experiment idea..or even the alien experiment idea!! Even the bermuda triangle makes some sense!! But in the end..i think they are in purgatory..mabye Boone went to heaven or hell!! who knows??

Sorry guys, I don't think they're in the Bermuda Triange.

The Bermuda Triangle is off the eastern coast of the U.S., near Bermuda. LOL

Travelling from Australia to L.A. would have them flying over the Pacific and thus, faaaar away from the Bermuda Triangle.

I read something from the creators of the series awhile back and they dismissed the purgatory theroy. Here's a nifty forum from the creators of lost, if you haven't checked it out yet:

But it could be a Bermuda Triangle like place (ships and planes lost, magnetic disturbances that fail to show true north, etc)
I'm thinking more a time space continum/wormhole kind of thing. Time off the island has not changed (standing still essentially) while they are having all these experiences that ultimately will change them.

its the Bermuda Triangle Government trap

I think the "hatch" is part of an alien spaceship that landed on this island and I think that it keeps reeling people onto the island for experimental purposes. The guys that took the boy are really aliens and they want the children (first the baby girl now the boy) for cloning purposes or something.


That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!!!! I hate wishing my summer away since it's my favorite time of year but boy I can't wait till fall!!!

 

[mycatspice]

It's puzzeling ... I dunno!

 

[snoochface]

I think that Claire's baby died in the plane crash - in the first episode or two, she said that she hadn't felt the baby move since they had crashed. Then she ate some of the food that Jin scrounged from the ocean and suddenly the baby moved again. I think the island "granted" her wish for her baby not to have died.

Charlie wanted his guitar - the island gave it to him.

Locke wanted to walk again - the island gave back the use of his legs. And then, started to take them away again as a test of his faith and dedication. And when he passed the test, he got his legs back again.

Kate wanted to be free of the ranger - and he died.

Boone wanted revenge on Shannon (but did he really? he had a love/hate relationship with her so he didn't want any real harm to come to her) and the island gave him the "vision" of her being torn to pieces - and it freed him from the hold she had over him.

Hurley wanted food - and the island gave Locke a boar to bring home to everyone.

Sawyer wanted to be free of the guilt he felt for what happened to his parents, and from the guy he shot in Australia, and believed a boar was messing with him as a result. He went after the boar, found out it was a baby, and found some peace in letting it live.

Locke said that Boone's death was "a necessary sacrifice" that the island demanded.

All of that is to say that I think the island is somehow using the survivors as an energy source, feeding off their emotions, guilt, desires, etc., and giving a little to them while asking for a sacrifice in return from them when it "needs" something. Whether it's the island itself doing this, or the monster/security system (what is it protecting? the hatch?), or the "others", I don't know. But the taking of children has been a recurring theme - first Danielle's baby, then Claire's baby dies but is brought back to life again (because the island needed it alive?), then Ethan tries to kidnap Claire (so that the "others" could take her baby when it was born?), then Danielle takes her baby (and tried to get to her before it was born as well), then Walt is taken.

On second thought, maybe all that was to say that I really have no clue what's going on.

I'm leaning toward the scientific experiment theory. Since Walt has "special" powers and everything happening seems to be pretty mystical, I think there's a lab in the hatch (scientists? aliens? either one works for me) and they are doing experiments on... children? Castaways? Emotionally fragile paraplegics? I dunno!

wow...i didnt even know you had Lost in America. i wouldnt have a clue on what the 'theory' is

The producers have stated repeatedly tht there are all naturalistic explanations for everything that happens on the island.

That said, there's a whole lot of splainin to do.

They are all really DEAD.

Well if the writers say there's a natural explanation for everything then that blows my theory to heck. I'm watching the first episode rerun now! I'm psyched to see what I may have missed in the details.
