I don’t know about you but i think partial of lost is based on the comic book Green lantern and flash. I came up with this theory because on the show it shows the magazine (Linterna Verde(Green Lantern) y Flash Los amigos )Walt found after the plane crash (which was the spanish version) and he read the part with the polar bear. After his dad michael questions him where he found it he throws it into a fire. Later on a polar bear appears attacking. Also i went searching on the internet one day and found this website- www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Spanish_comic_book and i read it. The 1st paragraph on the website tells u the stuff i wrote about above. But the 2nd is what lead me to this theory. The second paragraph says Green Lantern and Flash attacked and defeated a crashed alien known as “Alien X”, without checking to see if it was hostile. Realizing their mistake, they hid the ship where it could not be found. Alien X, had development cancer as a result of testing at a government lab, then he escaped fifteen years later. It was not a coincidence when the original Green Flash and Lantern disappeared at the same time.Later on the ship was found but it was blown up by Alien X. This symbolizes with Danielle, Siede and a couple other people because after siede was kidnapped by Danielle he was tortured without a logical belif (Alien X was attacked without a logical belief)set free(Alien X escaped) then, when he went back the bunker and it was blown up(ship blown up).

I have heard that people are saying that there was a symbol on the shark. This symbol represents the cycle of the universe or something. If anyone knows what im talking about please let me know.
Hi - I’m new to this blog. I rented season 1 & 2 and am addicted. My cable station doesn’t have Lost
so I’m stuck watching it on ABC.com… but that means I don’t get to see all the previews or know what’s going on. Were there 6 episodes this season (ending 11/8)… are there more? The last one they have on the website is where Kate and Sawyer slept together and Jack did the ’surgery’ on Ben. If the season’s done after 6 shows, when does it start again? I’m confused…
from Boing Boing.
In New York magazine, Adam Sternbergh’s piece about the decline of Lost captures my sentiments exactly. The show is getting worse and worse because the creators are forbidden from ever solving the central mystery in order to keep it running for as many seasons as possible. So when some smaller mystery does get explained, it never helps explain what’s really going on.
There is, however, a simple solution: Change the format, or at least reimagine it. When it so-called arc shows, we need something between a mini-series and an open-ended run. We need the TV equivalent of a novella: the limited-run show. Series driven by a central mystery (Twin Peaks, The X-Files) peter out precisely because they have indefinite life spans. The writers are forced to serve up red herrings until the shows choke on their own plot twists. (Whereas 24 works because it’s more cliff-hanger than puzzle—though Jack Bauer is surely the unluckiest man alive.)
From Jeff Jensen: I read your analysis of Jacob, and I think youre on the money. But I also think were missing something. Something that kinda explains everything.
Remember the whole theory that there are two groups of Others? This idea was widely debated/speculated in the wake of the Dharma reveals early last season–that perhaps “the Others” are comprised of two competing actions, one still connected to Dharma, and one opposed to it perhaps they are ex-Dharma; maybe they were already on the island. If we return to the idea, maybe season three begins to make more sense.
1. Two months ago, ALL of the Others lived together in the commune, to the north of the island. [This is the meaning of the passage on Mr. Ekos stick; it is directing Locke and co. to where they can find the village that we saw in the season premiere.] Lets call this larger body The Collective, a nod to our good friend and fellow Lost theorist, Andrew Smith
2. The leader of The Collective is the mysterious He/Him, whom we have not yet met. He/Him is all about the lists, the kidnapping of the kids, and the fixation with good people/bad people. This leader could very well be Patchy
2a. My theory? The Collective is the custodian agency of Dharma, designed to police its out-of-control legacy, or posssibly execute its function: bringing people to enlightenment.
3. Juliet was married to Ethan. Goodwin was Mr. Friendlys partner.
4. At some point, there was a schism within The Collective pertaining to the policy toward the castways. Specifically, there was a growing bitterness toward the castaways in light of the killings of Goodwin and Ethan. The dissenting group–the Others–wanted revenge against the castaways for the murders.
5. Number One, who clearly wielded a hyper-controlling, svengali-like hold on The Collective, opposed the Others quest. The schism was a turning point in his leadership; it gave the dissenting Others motivation to stand up to him. Hence, their obsession with “free will.”
6. Ben was the Number Two of The Collective. He agreed to help the Others escape the rule of Number One, in exchange for a promise–to coerce Jack into operating on his tumor.
7. At some point, perhaps as long ago as the season finale of season one, or perhaps sometime in season two, the rebellion took place, and since then, the Others have been pursuing a two-fold mission: a. making good on their promise to Ben b. executing a plan of eye-for-an-eye vengeance against those who have killed Others among the castways: Ana Lucia, Sawyer, and Charlie.
My prediction?
Juliet is going to help Kate and Sawyer escape–although the deal is that she gets to go with them. Her end game: to get back to the beach and kill Charlie, who killed her husband, Ethan.
Juliet will gain the trust of the Beach Camp by outing the spy in their midst–this mysterious Jacob fellow. With their trust gained, Juliet will take advantage of it to try and kill Charlie. She will be stopped, and interrogated by Sayid. In the interrogation the true history of the Others will be revealed.
Your belief that Ben might have been serious about wanting to change Jacks perspective, to make him want to save him, may be rooted in a kind of reality. If Im right that the Collective Others had a benevolent mission, and Bens only interest in being with the Others is to save his life, Ben might still be sympathetic to that mission.
I bet Jack performs the surgery on Ben. Ben survives, and then makes good on his promise to Jack by helping him escape the Others.
I’ve made it no secret that I think the whole 6/18 split season, no rerun thing sucks, and I just came across this post from Mike, who sums it up better than I could:
So…anyone else think that Lost, a show that’s slowly been declining in ratings and generally frustrating its fan base, taking a three-month break is probably not a very good idea?
This article seems to think so:
“‘Lost’ cause: ABC’s mistimed hiatus could doom faltering series”
…but I’d thought I’d throw the question out there anyway. I mean, I still like the show, but I can see that this is probably a bad idea.
Apparently the plan was to throw the fans a bone with some new episodes right out the gate, and then after the break give ‘em the rest in a no-rerun streak, since fans complained about the number of reruns last season.
So we have yet another example why you should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever cave to fan demands, because it has ways of blowing up in your face.
Exactly. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - people who complain about Lost reruns are just plain wrong. ![]()
What Ben showed Sawyer could always have been an illusion, but assuming it’s real, I am now left with further questions regarding the underwater hatch.
When many of us first suspected that an underwater hatch existed, we did so on the basis of two clues: the marked shark and the cable going out into the water.
If the view that Ben showed Sawyer is our island, and IF Jack’s tank (potential “underwater hatch”) is on (or directly offshore of) the same island that Kate & Sawyer are on (which I’m still not convinced of), then there is a huge question remaining: where does that cable go?
It clearly can’t go to the island that Ben & Sawyer were standing on, because if that were the case then Sayid (and anyone else who stumbled onto the cable) would have been able to see the other island from that beach (unless it is somehow masked from view).
I think that desmond is a big part of what might affect the others, first remember they other episode when they talked about the sub, the sub is back. And the end of last season, when Desmonds fiance got the call about the disturbance after desmond release the magnetic energy. I think that gave her the exact location of where they are and now the sub is trying to locate the Island.
There is, however, a simple solution: Change the format, or at least reimagine it. When it so-called arc shows, we need something between a mini-series and an open-ended run. We need the TV equivalent of a novella: the limited-run show. Series driven by a central mystery (Twin Peaks, The X-Files) peter out precisely because they have indefinite life spans.
