From a new fan. I have watched the first and second season, thus far, in about a weeks time.
I believe they are all having near death experiences.

P.S. Anonymous, I like your theory on Hanso. And i do believe LOST has alot to do with him, and the mental hospital, and how they relate to the story on a deeper level.

I do believe you guys have some pretty good insight on these theories. But what if you were both right? What if on one side of the island you have science and technology, but on the other side you have religion and faith? But is it really that simple? Or is everything simple in it’s own way. However be advised that these powers of science and religion are not so black and white. Thus resulting in differences and similarities shared by “Survivors” and “Others”. Both of these represent states of becoming what really is reality. And the island? Well we’re all lost on our own island aren’t we. Especially the patients at the mental hospital on LOST. Just something to think about.

[quote comment="1464"]is it ok to talk about the little previews they give us after each show on this site? Since that was the only new thing we got this week I’m wanting to talk about it.[/quote]

SmileyMe, It is my personal belief that they shouldn’t show any previews because it takes away from the excitement when watching new episodes, and because of this I don’t watch the previews.

I do understand that a lot of people watch the previews and would like to discuss their content. I am currently looking at different possibilities for allowing these discussions and will hopefully be able to announce a solution soon. Until then, please do not discuss the content of the previews.

I’m pretty sure that the writers said that was not the case. I think it’s mainly Catholicism that teaches about purgatory… I personally don’t beleive in it, and I haven’t been taught about it.

You are correct about the purgatory theory Irish.

[quote]Abrams dismissed the popularly held theory that the castaways are stranded in Purgatory, though he claimed to like the idea.[/quote]

Purgatory is only one of the levels of hell as portrayed by Christianity, and other faiths have similar ideas, so just because JJ has said that they are not in “purgatory”, that does not necessarily mean that the losties are not in a similar place.

Personally I don’t think that they are in purgatory. My theory is that the island is a scientific experiment/project and while faith does have a special place in the Lost universe, I don’t belive that any major religion will turn out to be the basis of the entire story.

[quote comment="1460"]Sorry if this is repetitive, but I have to ‘purge’ *snicker*. I’ve heard a theory that I agree with that the LOSTies are actually dead and that the island is their Purgatory. Everything that happens is a test to prove their worth.

Take the following examples:

1. Smoke Monster = Angel of Death? By ‘scanning’ a ‘LOST’ soul, it determines whether to take the soul to Heaven or Hell.

2. The Others – By saying to Jack ‘The only reason you live on this island is because we let you live’ implies that the Others control the Purgatory somehow and, by ‘letting’ them live, they give them the chance to prove their worth befor judgment.

3. Fake Henry -’Henry’ is a also LOST soul awaiting judgment, hence his claim, in addition to others’ (sic) claims of being a ‘good person’. The ‘Him’ Fake Henry referred to in ‘S.O.S.’ is God Himself.

Sure, this may all seem stupid and convoluted, but het it’s Thursday and I need some way to pass my boring time here in my office. So whaddya think? Cheers? Jeers?[/quote]

Tdiddy, I’m pretty sure the writers already cleared that up and said that the Losties weren’t in purgatory. Andreas or C, can you confirm?

Although this probably has nothing to do at all with the subject at hand, I think I have a bit of a lead on what and where “the sickness” is. Rousseau said that her team got “sick” after returning from the Black Rock. Possibly there was some dangerous chemical or material aboard (lead poisoning, mercury, sarin gas, asbesto particles) that induced the sickness. Mercury can make people go insane, which would give Rousseau a reason to kill them all.
Another thing is that on the blast door map there was an inscription that said “final known resting place of Magnus Hanso/Black Rock.” Possibly Magnus Hanso was Alvar Hanso’s grandfather or great-grandfather who shipwrecked on the island. He lived on the island along with some other possible survivors and along with him was his son, who eventually led to Alvar Hanso who was the one who finally found a way off the island.
Yes, it’s an insane theory but TV shows tend to be that way.
