Well, I think the suburb thing is real. Other than that, I didn't get a hint of any kind of double-bluff or whatever.

Of course, I've thought about a 'Truman Show' type game surrounding the characters. But, I think that's a bit too elaborate and a bit too much of a cop-out in the end. I think alot of LOST is face value.

Dharma was a think-tank created by an eccentric group of billionaire's or whoever. They set up on that island to try and figure out how to harness the natural geological energy that seems to use the island as a focal point (just like the dude in the Autralian outback that tried to heal Rose). They also used the island to explore other issues and theories they were working on (that's where the polar bears come from).

Something went wrong, and the hatch/button system was setup to cap the energy source (like an oil well?) and help release pent-up EMP bursts.

The Dharma group working on the island....did they rebel and are now being lead by someone else? Were they abandoned because no one on the outside could find the island again (who/how did the food crate parachute in?) Or, is this merely just the next evolution of their experimentation: social and psychological interactions/reactions with people?

The rest of the mysteries that have yet to be sufficiently explained:

  • Why these people? Is it all coincedence their lives have criss-crossed in the past?

  • The numbers....is there really something to it, or, is it just Hurley's superstition?

  • What is it about Walt and why would they want him?

  • What is that smoke-creature/"island defense system"?

  • Is there an overall reason why each and every one of them are there? Or, even, just the "main cast"?


Those are the questions I have...
