Just visited the Hanso site as someone mentioned, I watched the video on there and left the main page running. Throughout this time the Hanso site has static noises playing sort of the sound you get while in an airoplane. But i heard at one point a faint beep in amungst the static like noise. Turn up your speakers and have a listen http://www.thehansofoundation.org its deffinatly there i've checked and double checked. Its the same beep from the countdown timer.

so srry if somebody already said this. but hears my theory about the mist. ya know how the french lady called it a security system? well i think she was using a play on words. HOW SECURE ARE YOU??? the mist always seems to show up when people are really freaked out. like when they all first crashed and everyone was really scared. or how if you run away from it it chases u. however if you face your fears it doesnt hurt you like how locke and eko faced it.

i also think the magnet is what was keeping everybody healthy.(you know how sometimes people wear those magnetic braclets to help stay healthy, same thing) anyway now that the magnets gone who knows whats gonna happen!!!

I've been watching this show since it started and I've come to the conclusion that this whole thing is an experiment - I began believing that when the girls found the box of costumes in the hatch area that Claire was kept in when she was taken. I still believe it - further evidenced by the hatch the Locke and Eko found last week with the survailance equipment (by the way, if there is survailance equipment, there is, most likely, tape of Michael shooting Anna Lucia and Libby - I think that will be found).

There are a few things that puzzle me, however: 1) the mist; 2) the episode where the whole thing looks like it's dreamed by Hurley while he's in a comatose state; 3) how did the experimentors get the plane to crash on the island?????????? There are so many questions to be answered.

I really don't think any of our questions will be answered in the season finale because what would they do next year? We're going to end with another huge cliffhanger. It's going to be a long summer!

i think someone has discovered a way to bring back the dead, and they control this information on the isalnd. they allow only good people to be part of the community. they brought back ecko's brother from the dead. then they drugged locke and made him believe he was dreaming when he was actually seeing ecko's brother.

I haven't read every post - so perhaps someone has already thought of this....

Sayid and Shannon fell in love - Shannon dies...Hurley and Libby - maybe not quite in love, but on their way, Libby dies....even Ana Lucia - having sex w/Sawyer- she dies....those who met on the island and fall in love (or lust) end up burying the female - so Kate better watch out!! Charlie and Claire made a nice pair - I hope she forgives him - that whole plot was out of whack- he's a good guy. The Others keep wanting children - but they have females- can't they make their own children?? Perhaps there is something biblical about the others wanting children - suffer the children to come unto me....

I began believing 4 or 5 months ago that I believe there are two groups of OTHERS Good OTHERS & Bad OTHERS Another thing the pilot epi Destination LOST, we see Jack's eye, next is Vincent and I think the OTHERS did something to the dog from the very beginning. Vincent seems to show up most times when something happens. The dog is probably a mole.
'I saw the criticism of theories 'by a poster. That is freedom of expression, I accept that, but I see it as people communicating, thinking, writing, sharing. This is very good and healthy for us; better than fighting or going out to shoot someone. It's fun too. These are good skills. We are critiqing and that is actually required in many college courses(theater, dance, voice, philosphy, music for the classroom teacher, and many others); and for certain jobs. It's also freedom of speech, but done respectively. It is also helping many to become good listeners. I for one didn't know much about electromagnetic field, I started reading up on this. I also shared my knowledge of organic chemistry eg. the sulfur smell when Kate took a shower sulfurs & disulfurs covalence bond. Are 36 chemical RxNs. Sawyer reading good literature, that encourages people to start reading more I believe, developing better thinking skills. There's more to LOST than meets the EYE. Thankful for the freedom of expression. I'm a maniac totally addicted to LOST forever.

I had a theory that perhaps the "Others" are not bad. Maybe they figured out they were test subjects for Dharma and stopped pushing the buttons. Destroyed the other hatches. The reason they take the child is to protect them from Dharma. Some how they stay under the radar. And they are so hostile to the Losties because they do not know who is in on it and who is not. And instead of the mist, did anyone stop to think what could be in that food from Dharma. and why did Desmond take injections. Just some thought. I logged into the Hanso sight which is an Anagram of Noahs( dont know if it means anything). its a weird sight, it you sign up for the new letter it logs you into Dharma if you have password: breaking strain. There is also a # 877-Hansorg. Very strang messages.

Yes, John, Amen! Let's keep adding to the endless theories, digesting them and talking about them again. Who cares how "original" they are. This is a TV blog, not a competition for the Pulitzer Prize. Let's keep it all in perspective.

If you don't like the show, don't watch and don't post insulting remarks to others who post here. Names like "dickless" are totally unnecessary and give the person who uses such names zero credibility.

The people who post here simply want to about, share and analyze their theories and ideas and they should feel free to do so. No one is claiming originality or seeking worship. Just because *you* think you thought of it first, or read it somewhere else first, does not make it less relevant or interesting to someone else.

So please, let's just stick to talking about the show and our ideas and save the insults. Hurling insults at others certainly doesn't make you seem smarter or more original. It makes you seem less so.

The monster may have been created by the Dharma Initiative but, it might not be under anyone's control because one of the writings on the blast door map says:
(You can click on the link to see the map)
"Cauduceus Station believed to have been abandoned due to AH/MDG incident of 1985

or

possible catastrophic malfunction of Cerberus System."

Here are a few other things that refer to Cerberus (or the monster?)on the map are:

"Alleged location of #4 The Flame"

"But unlikely due to Cerberus activity"

(And towards the right of the Swan-

"Primary nexus of Cerberus related activity"
(And above the last one there was something in Latin that translated to "Here be dragons", it is possible it was written by Desmond and he thought the noises sounded like a dragon or it appeared as a dragon to him.)
There was another Latin phrase that translates to "lift up your hearts" three times.Didn't Desmond say to Jack "you've got to lift it up"?

I know this will just add to the "endles theories" and I know "in the end, no one will care and no one fall at my feet worshiping me for getting it right" But damnit Ben isn't that part of what's fun about a mystery show; seeking out every little clue, listening to and discussing theories with other people, being able enjoy the same episode the second time because you get to see things you didn't notice before.
I love the mystery,spirituality and even the flashbacks.If you don't want to have that extra "Lost Experience" that's fine you don't have to and you don't have to put anyone else down for how THEY enjoy the show,and the more I see Hanso,Oceanic or any Lost related websites the more it seems some questions will only be answered outside the show.

Hippie-communists using a combination of advanced pavlov and scientology-like research. "Fate" is interfering with science...or is at odds with whatever research is going on there.
