My Latest Lost Theories

It's official. I'm obsessed with Lost. For all you fans out there, here are my latest outside the box theories that are so crazy they might just work out:

1. The Others were observing the Losties before the crash: What leads me to believe this is that that there are several phrases that repeat within the back story of each character. Now these aren't phrases that repeat throughout the show like 'see you in another life'. These are only phrases that repeat within the character development of each person so that when they are said the character in question will realize that they've heard it before. Phrases that hold significant meaning to each person.

For example, in last night's episode Dr. Klugh (pronounced Clue) said to Michael while he was being held captive by the Others, "for someone who wants their son back so badly you don't really seem to know anything about him". Well that's the exact same thing that the lawyer for Michael's wife said to Michael in the custody battle scene in season 1. A phrase so powerful that Michael was sure to remember it.

Also, last week didn't the girl who drowned but came back to life tell Eko in the airport that even though he's pretending he's a good man? Isn't that the same thing we heard earlier in the episode from the guy who was trying to get Eko to the US? Moreover, that's the same phrase that his brother had once told him so now we know that both the guy in the church and the girl have had contact with Eko's brother.

Point being I think there's some significance to these phrases and the fact that they are reappearing. It could be a part of the larger Dharma conspiracy as evidence that the losties were being observed before they got on the plane. I just wonder how many other phrases have been repeated that we haven't caught yet?

2. All secondary characters are part of the conspiracy: Most of the characters needed a last minute reason to get onto the plane. They either had to get somewhere in a hurry or were leaving somewhere in a hurry. Could it be that all of the people who had a hand in their circumstances are apart of the conspiracy? I'm talking about everyone from Claire's psychic to Hurley's doctor to Ana Lucia's mom to Jack's dad to Locke's dad to Vincent's dog walker. Everyone and anyone who has had a line in this show could be connected. Like I said before, just crazy enough to work.

3. The losties are bad and the others are good: How mind blowing would it be if there was a show where everyone you thought was good was really bad and everyone who you thought was bad was really good? Well I think that Lost might be heading down that path.

The story is told through the eyes of the plane crash survivors so of course you are going to sympathize with them especially when a group of mad scientists are trying to capture them. However, if you think about it the Others have only captured people never killed them. Where as the Losties have killed multiple people. For instance there are the three others that were killed during attempted kidnappings by Eko and Ana Lucia, Goodwin who was also killed by Ana, and Ethan who was killed by Charlie. All of the losties that have died (Ana, Libby, Shannon, Boone) have done so at the hands of other losties. The only murderers here have been the Losties.

Meanwhile the Others keep talking about the 'good ones' and seem to kidnap only those people that make the grade in their eyes. The reason why they haven't gone after more of the Losties is because most of them aren't good people since they did so many bad things before coming to the Island.

All of that leads me to believe that by the end of the show it will be revealed that the Others are really good and the Losties are really bad.

Some more crazy theories:

4. The person piloting the boat that we saw at the end of the last episode will be Desmond.

5. There will be a big connection between Locke and Eko that will play on White vs. Black as we've seen with the rocks found by Adam and Eve,and the backgammon game. Also, if you look at their names Eko is actually formed from letter's within Locke's name. I also think that if you look at Locke's name it's obvious that he will be the 'key' to everything before it's all over.

6. Jack will have a sister amongst the losties as evidenced by his dad going to visit someone in Ana's flashback. I think it could be Claire.

7. There's another mole within the losties camp since I don't think the others could have known Sawyer's real name otherwise. It could be Locke.
