In the last episode the new addition to the island said that the Lostee’s plane had been found with no survivors. Could it possibly be that she’s from the future somehow and in actuality the plane is found at some point with the entire Lost cast dead? I doubt it, that ending would suck but at least I posted a theory about it, something Jared is forgetting to do.

So I’m guessing the smoke monster is somehow tied to the island to the degree that it can’t “fly” up high enough to go over that electric boundary fence.
This would seem to be the only explanation for why the fence would stop it (assuming that it did, and it wasn’t an act), and it would fit with other appearances such as when it tried to drag Locke into a hole that it appeared to be “reaching up” from.
The only part that would not make sense would be the footage from the beginning of the show where people say that it shows the smoke monster flying up and destroying the plane. I don’t remember this at all, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. The only thing I did see was a frame-by-frame image of the smoke monster going through the turbine right before it blew up, but that was when it was on the ground. They may have shown a similar shot while the plane was still in the air as well, but I don’t remember it. Even if they did though, I think since it was not visible to the unaided viewer (in normal speed) it’s safe for them to ignore that and decide that it didn’t happen, since they’ve never referenced it in the show itself.
Before the episode airs tonight, I thought I should post my thoughts on last week’s:
I am a bit nervous about Juliet joining the original Losties group on the beach, just because I think it might strain the whole “not asking questions when they should be asked” thing too far, beyond the breaking point in my opinion. The show has always had that frustrating aspect where people don’t share information with each other or ask enough questions when any normal people in those situations would, but I can put up with it to some degree since it’s necessary to maintain the suspense / mystery. However, Juliet going back to camp with them is too far IMHO.
At the end of that episode, Sayid (one of my favorite characters) SHOULD have said “No, actually we’re not going back to camp yet. If you are honest about being a part of our group, first we’re going to sit down and you’re going to tell us EVERY SINGLE THING YOU KNOW about the island, the others, etc. since you’ve been here with them for years.” There’s no logical reason why this conversation shouldn’t happen, and if it doesn’t VERY soon, I’m going to be disappointed.
The other credibility issue for me (and i don’t remember whether this was last week or the week before) was Sawyer falling for Hurley’s “nice guy con”. I knew that’s exactly what was happening the minute Hurley started that conversation, and to say that Sawyer fell for it when he’s supposedly a grade A con man is not believable.
I’m still spoiler free leading up to tonight, and looking forward to the episode. Not even watching the “next on Lost” previews has been one of the best decisions in watching this show. I think I would have enjoyed the last several episodes much less if I had seen the previews.
My latest theory involves the explanation for Locke’s healing, and its temporary nature – depending on his “relationship” with the island at any point in time.
Basically, it goes like this: through whatever manner the island is able to interact with the past, it can influence things to happen. Some believe that past events were orchestrated to bring (at least some of) the people on that plane to the island.
My theory is based on Locke’s dad being brought to the island the same way. The kicker is that when the island reached back and altered the past to direct him towards the island, it altered the timeline by causing him not to be there to push John out of the window, so therefore he can walk.
Now, this depends on it actually being Locke’s dad (instead of a fake / illusion) on the island, which I’m still not sold on. There are also other holes, like the other healings, but those may have similar explanations. The Sun and Jun one isn’t really a verified healing anyway, since there are clear questions as to whether Jun is the real father. As for Rose, she probably is associated with Dharma anyway, so she probably can’t be trusted.
