Anyone here watch it? I know I must be one of the most avid LOST fans because I will not miss an episode, nor will I let anyone interupt me during it. Phone goes off, girlfriend goes buh buy, and I am set.

It would be nice to have some others here to talk about what the hell is going on and share their threories. I hate going to the actual LOST boards at ABC because its flooded worse than bb.com, you make a post and a second later its on page 100, and your questions do not get answered.

Hells to the yeah man , im a serious fanatic too! Just when you think that the show can't get any better .... damn!!

[Hurleyboy05]

Sorry Myth... I tried to get into it and just too many unanswered/seemed to be forgotten questions. That show is now on my "No list"

[TheMyth]

See but that's the point, if they give all the answeres away there would be no allure to the show and it would just be another show. They are slowely answring ALOT, while also bringing in new twists and turns with many more questions. Its one of those shows that makes you think about it all week until the next episode comes on. I know after watching an episode I can't stop trying to figure it all out. Then when I think I do, BAM! They throw a curvball and i was somthing else.

Let's get some more people in here, because the last episode was so intense and I had a few Q's! Like:

1) Why can't Ben kill Whidmoore?

2) When Whidmoore said " I know what you are Benjamin", what the hell did that mean?

3) So Ben controls the smoke monster after all?

What is tha Smoke Monster?!?

I just caught last week's episode channel surfing and was amazed that people actually get into this show.

[TheMyth]

Why were you amazed? At first I thought the show was stupid (just like you channel surfing) and I heard this big noice and thought, o man its jst a stupid Land of the Lost ripoff with big dinos everywhere. But it is much more complex than just a monster popping out. We don't know what it is, other than a "security system" for the Island. Some speculate that it is smart nano technolgy.

[TheUnlikelyToad]

I was amazed at how stupid that concept is... I expected more realism.

[TheMyth]

It is, you just have to know the history of it. I thouhgt the same way my man. Rent the first season, then judge, once I did I ended up watching the entire season in one day and became addicted!

This is it's last season right?

[TheMyth]

nope, its 4 of 6. Got 2 more seasons! Unfortunatly they are only16 episodes each instead of 24.

[Hurleyboy05]

Oh, so there is an end in sight then. Hmmm... that might make it a little more tolerable for me knowing that surely something will be answered and there is an end.

Also, it better have a damn good ending - I'm an ex-Soprano's fan and good endings were not David Chase' style, unfortunately. I need something with a decent ENDING!

I am a big fan of the show.

Ben, richard, and some of the others are time travelers. Thats why in the last episode ben ran into the cave and was back in the mainland he can't kill whitmore because on the island they are in 2004 in real life it is 2007 when ben met with whitmore it may have been 2006 and he can't kill whitmore cause he has lived to 2007. Thats why ben is never afraid he knows he will live until at least 2007 so he can do whatever the hell he wants,

The smoke monster is basicaly a way for time to correct itsself. So people die so that they don't change the out come of what may happen later in the future.

A friend sent me this, It is the best theory i've read so far:

Lost: A theory on time travel

[TheMyth]

Nice theory! I was thinking the same thing, that Ben has control of the time paradox that Desmond does not have control of yet. Ben knows how to do it and Desmond is just begining to understand it. I think Desmond is going to play a KEY role in future episodes, as he may be able to go back to earlier times in the show and correct some of the unfortunate deaths. That may be what the producers meant when they said no one is truely dead on the island.

I also think Ben can't kill Whidmoore because they are both each others constant, or whidmoore is just Bens.

[joeymutz]

never thought about the being each others constants. Did u read the link I posted it pretty much explains everything.

[TheMyth]

nope not yet, at work do my iphone doesn't show the link. I will for sure when I get home though! So who do you think Jacob is? I bet you its Jacks dad or it is someone who was on the island in the begining andis stuck in ate pradox.

[Costanza]

Interesting theory.. I'm a big fan of the show myself too. I was pretty surprised in the last episode when they finally showed that Ben controlled the smoke monster too. I didn't really get him going into the cave though... Good theory that says thats when he goes int the future and then comes back. I'd almost say that instead of going into the future though, he may go into the past to somehow stop the troops from coming to the island and then the smoke monster comes in to "correct" them being there. Other than that I think your theory is dead on. Makes sense. But they've been known to confuse us many times in the past.....
