Anyone out there watch ABC's "Lost"? I'm completely hooked and would love to hear other's theories about the "mystery" of the island.

I can't get it any more!!! WHAAAA!!! What's been happening and I want to hear theories also.

I think it's a secret, private, experimental island and whoever is controling it is either underground observing or dead and the island is out of control.

Colleen - what was the last episode you saw?

I've got all kinds of theories, but I would hate to spoil anything for you.

My wife and I watch Lost and Alias every week.

I think they could be in some sort of purgatory-like dimension. They all seem to have troubled pasts that they're working through. Also, I seem to remember Sawyer reading "A Wrinkle in Time" at one point...he was reading it for a reason, and I'm sure it's a clue. Anyway, I am loving watching it develop.

the last episode I saw was the kid setting the raft on fire cause he was upset.

you won't spoil anything for me, the tv that picked up 30 is busted and I can't afford to fix it. We only have rabbit ears, no cable or dish. So go ahead and fill me in!

BTW, I noticed the "working through their issues" also...but some of the occurances didn't seem to have anything to do with their issues (the monster that ate someone at the beginning). So I kinda threw the purgatory thing out.

For those of us with no tv, how about a quick synopsis. I get dvds of shows that turn out to be decent. Is it in its first year? What is it about?

First Year, plane crash on a deserted island where a bunch of weird stuff happens...starting with the parapelegic guy walking (though he doesn't make it known that he couldn't walk before. The mystery is, WHAT IS UP WITH THIS ISLAND?!

Augusta - I'll do my best to give a quick summary (and I promise not to give anything away). First, yes it is in its first year. It is excellent. Having said that....

The set up is: A plane departs Sydney, Australia bound for Los Angeles. Some where between those two places, it breaks up in mid-air. Part(s) of the plane crash on a tropical island. There are survivors. They are now stranded on this island. Then, how do I say this, things happen on the island that, well, that aren't "normal".

I won't say anymore about the plot. I will say that the character development is wonderful. I really find myself caring about what happens to these people, and I never know when something will happen. The show keeps you guessing. The first season (this season) is due out on DVD in September. Rent it if you want. I'm planning on buying it. This is the best TV show I've seen in years.

Oh- and has anyone else noticed the Christian element in several of the episodes? I'm not saying they are all believers, but the writers do not seem to be bashful about the fact that there are at least some Christians among the survivors.

Sound like X-files meets Survivor but it's not reality tv. Cool. I enjoy sci-fi type stuff. Much better than melodrama.

Pretty much (x-files meets survivor)

Ok so I got this series on Netfix and we are down to the last disc with the last 4 episodes. I have noticed several things that I think are clues. Tell me what you think.

- the spanish comic book has an island in it, a polar bear, and an alien being shocked on the bed like Sayid was.

- the chinese letters are everywhere. On Claire's shirt, Jack's tattoo, Hurley was wearing one on a necklace. That's all I can remember right now.

-Jack's tattoo is interesting in other ways I am going see if there is a better view of it now that I think it is significant.

-Sawyer is reading "A Wrinkle in Time" I think this may mean that people don't hear the broadcasts because the whole island could be outside of time. In the picture in the comic book the island is sitting on top of a force field or something.

-The compass that Locke gives to Sayid is off by a couple of degrees. This could be something to do with the time thing. Maybe the island is vortex of weird activity of several different sorts.

-The sickness that the french lady (Delenn ) talks about. I think it might be that the visions and stuff eventually make you mad and that is what she is calling the sickness. Remember she killed them because of the sickness. It could have been self-defense. The visions I think come from something growing that Locke made the paste out of. The visions aren't as strong for people with out the paste but enough time on the island might have the same effect.

Anyway this is what I have observed. I want to hear what you guys think. I am going to watch the first two on the last disc tonight. Exodus 1 and 2 are the last two episodes so try not to give that away yet.

No -- so called reality shows are for women and the easily amused.
