Topic of "LOST", do you think they're really on an island or like I think, on a space ship ?

My friends have helped me come to this theory:\n\nClaire. Remember when Ethan kidnapped her and she was gone for a few weeks? It was the first season of the show, and when she reappeared, we viewers were forced to endure her amnesia. Much viewer fist-shaking ensued. Shortly thereafter, her baby was born, and she decided to name him Aaron. No particular reason, he just seemed like an Aaron. Fast-forward to the middle of season 2, she finally starts remembering things, and we got that FANTASTIC episode about the medical hatch she was held in. Here's where things started to fall into place. During the episode, we see her flashbacks where Ethan is "taking care" of the unborn child by administering mysterious injections through Claire's belly. The baby is incredibly important to Ethan, and the Others. I noticed something. Ethan was calling the unborn child "Aaron." This is well before the baby is born at camp, when Claire "names" him. Reality: Claire didn't name that baby. She thinks she did, but that name was decided long, long before she was even on the island. Which brings us to:\n\nThe Leader of the Others. He is a special man, a powerful psychic. Powerful enough to control his surroundings, and to instill fear in his followers. Powerful enough to make ships crash into his island. To make hot air ballons crash into his island. To make planes crash into his island. He is hundreds of years old. He accomplishes this by using different physical bodies until they are used up. In other words, he "inhabits" a body for a lifetime, and when the body is old, he finds a new, young one to move into. But it can't be just any young body- it has to be special. This man felt something on Oceanic Flight 815 as it flew near the island. Something he needed. He forced the plane to crash in such a way that many passengers arrived unharmed. Specifically the special ones. The Leader of the Others is a powerful, fearsome being, and his name is Aaron.\n\nThink about it. Just stop for a second, and think about it. Aaron, the Leader of the Others, is an old, old man. He desperately needs a new body, soon. Claire's child is that body. In season one, in Claire's flashback to before the flight, she went to a psychic to see what she should do about her child, and as soon as the reading began the psychic FREAKED OUT, remember? Think about the medical hatch. All the pre-natal injections-- immune boosters, or something to keep this hugely important body from illness. Or maybe brain drugs, to enhance his budding psychic abilities. And this isn't the first time the Others have stolen a child. Russo's baby, Alex, was stolen as an infant 16 years ago. We met her in the medical hatch, when she aided Claire in her escape. But maybe Alex's body wasn't used by the Leader because she didn't have the proper abilities. Instead of a host body, she became a member of his cult from infancy, her young mind easy to mold. Think about it. It's the reason the children were the first to be kidnapped. It's why Walt is so important to them. Don't forget, Walt is special. Like baby Aaron, he is a prime candidate for "body-host" by the Leader of the Others. Sure, there are probably holes in my theory, but there are holes in the show. This is just a theory, but what do you think????

Yes, but the pretext for everything in Star Trek is that adventure is good.  Think about how many transporter accidents they had, but the few times they re-calibrate the transporter to do some day-saving derring-do they never bother  to write down what they did.  Because documentation is *boring*.  So if we say that we've got a recreational facility that may randomly become sentient and effectively do a Matrix-like takeover on the ship, great!  Break out the tricorders and study that sucker -- but don't save any data because we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for the next series in the franchise.

I read a few of the previous episodes online\nand then read thru a thread that says a few \nof the people have been to a mental hospital,\nincluding Hurley and Libby and that alot of\nonline readers believe the others to be \nsome sort of pyschiatric treatment, and perhaps\nthe island and the confusing things they see is\na result of this.And if the Dharma experiment\nis the result of people being left on the island with\nmental health docotors and facilitators who are there\nto help everyone who is LOST then would't it make sense\nhow everyone seems to see images and monsters....\nI don't really know....but its a thought\nyou go!!!

You wanna ask Hurley from 'Lost'.  Apparently he has a few doozies.

The only time we've seen the monster it's been a smoky, black cloud-looking thing.\n\nMost of these times, it's been from Eko's point of view, but we've also seen it with Jack (and I think Kate) back when they were investigating the Black Rock slave ship in the jungle, and we've seen it from Charlie's point of view when Eko stared it down.\n\nOnly Locke appears to view it differently, but it's quite possible that he's even more insane than Hurley.  \n\nIn some scenes, it appears to have indistinct human faces swirling in the midst of the cloud.  In which case, it might be involved in the appearances of other people (i.e. Jack's Dad, Boone, Eko's brother, Hurley's imaginary friend, Kate's horse) on the island.  Perhaps it is telepathic/empathic, and is able to draw on the memories of the castaways and project itself accordingly.\n\nThere is a mention on the glowy map on the back of the hatch door that Locke saw of some sort of 'electromagnetic anomaly' called Cerberus running amok in the vicinity of the original hatch.  Cerberus was the three-headed dog that guarded the gates to the underworld in Greek mythology, and it would seem to be an appropriate name for the phenomenon as we have seen so far.\n\nMy personal theory is that the writers of the show don't actually have any idea what the monster is, or why the Others are doing what they do, or any real answers to anything on the show, and are just making it up as they go along.  They're hoping that they can pull a 'tada' explanation out of their bums at some point that they claim will answer all the questions, but I'm betting that their explanation won't be logical, and won't be consistent with everything we've seen because it will have been fabricated the week before.\n\nI'm hoping I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anything in the last three seasons that actually gives me hope that they really have a well-thought out, coherent and plausible explanation that they are slowly unveiling.  It all seems random, and fabricated from whole-cloth.  Perhaps they will prove me wrong, and this will all turn out better than, say, the X-Files did.  But I'm not holding my breath.\n\nThe only reason I continue to watch is that many of the characters are incredibly interesting.  Sadly, this season they've done next to nothing with either Sayid or Hurley, killed off the best character on the show (Mr. Eko), and had waaaay too much focus on boring Jack.\n\nAnd although Benry is pretty cool as a villain, I'm finding it harder and harder to find his treatment of the castaways as even vaguely rational or believable.  Why would he essentially sit there pulling the wings off of flies when he could have easily won their undying respect, admiration and loyalty by just showing up on the beach the very first day with a big-old first aid kit and some fish biscuits??

LOST is about a group of plane crash survivors stranded on an island they have no clue where.  \n\nits a creepy island coz it holds lots of mysteries.  for one it has this unseen "monster" that can uproot trees, and appears as a black smoke, and is claimed to be the island's "security system" (no one knows what they mean by that)\n\nand later episodes reveal that the island is one big research facility, only that there are no scientist present.\n\ni know ud have a lot of questions.  i do to, thats the magic of LOST.  it'll intrigue you and tease you with what you think you know about the characters and the island.\n\nand whats great also is that we see how the characters survive on the island while we peek into their past and showing us what led them to be the person they are at present.\n\nand its interesting coz all the lives of the survivors are intertwined.  at some point, they crossed paths and affected each other's lives.  \n\nwas it a coincidence?  everone's lost on that ...

Who really knows....My guess is aborigine. I mena best guess it appears the island is in the south pacific near Autralia..makes sense to me......

All of those places are very true. We have never truly explored them, however due to satellites and othre spacefaring craft, we have managed to chart all these regions.\n\nThe only place on earth we have not truly explored and can't is the ocean floor.\n\nAnd if we could, who knows what we'd find... Ships - yes.\n\nLost continents - maybe\nAtlantis - I hope so!!

Based upon my recollection of an interview that I saw of JJ Abrams on television (perhaps on G4?), the upcoming season will be dealing primarily with the "Others."  As you may recall from the season 2 finale, for the first time there was some off-island activity that was not in a flash-back; presumably this was to dispel the rampant belief that the cast aways were dead and in purgatory.\n\nI believe that the relationship between the Hanso Foundation (or Dharma Initiative) and the Others will be dealt with, along with some explanation as to the electro-magnetic properties of the device in the hatch, though I am certain that new mysteries will also be appearing.  I would also guess that Michael and Walt will return, to establish an outside of the island story-line.

I posted an answer then I started thinking...\n\n...assuming Kelvin had been on the island for like two or three years, I doubt that Penny's father was bankrolling the experiment or using it as a punishment for Desmond. I think he truly ended up there by accident, possibly something to do with the magnetic properties of the island (and I liked that the magnetism that caused the crash opened up the storyline to the possibility of a new crash bringing in more characters one day...)\n\nHOWEVER, when Penny tracked Desmond down to the stadium (where he and Jack ended up running), she said, "If you have enough money and determination, you can find anyone." Maybe even enough money to have science monkeys in an igloo look for an electromagnetic signal?\n\nHow she knew to look for that is beyond me (whoops, that was your question, huh?)

its about a group of passengers who were trapped in an island where they are unsafe... we still don't know what's the real reason behind them being there... its still the big mystery. but it seems they all have a purpose for being there... each has a business they need to resolve and think about while on the island. we don't know who planned this, who sent them, who set them up... we still have to find that out.Ü\nabout that thing in the forest, i believe its not real... its only part of the "experiment" of that island.

If humans are on space stations at the time of the apocalypse, wouldn't they have to come back for food, water and oxygen?  Thinking that may be their end too.\n\nOther planets?  I guess if you think people are on other planets, they'd be safe?  Maybe, don't know anyone on any other planet myself, so have no idea.\n\nYou think demons are floating around in space?  Well, then, don't have a clue, but maybe they'd survive with those people on Pluto?
