the truth is out there
i haven't done any "Lost" blogging in a while, and with the show in reruns until mid-april or so, i won't be doing any for the forseeable future. but i received a comment yesterday evening on some show theories that i think deserves some really serious consideration, so here it is. discuss.
Name: TaodallanComments:
I can't beleive none of you have thought about the possibility thats its aliens. let me give some reasons why i think its aliens.
- 1. the mystery numbers that were found on a transmition 16 or so years ago that the french lady changed. the numbers make weird things happen.
-2. the radio tower that was on the island before the shipwreck
-3. The weird bunker( Spaceship?) that has the numbers on it.
-4. Ethan not being on the plane in the first place and being extremely agile and strong
-5. Walts mysterious ability to make weird things happen (possibly a later connection with him and the numbers)
-6. the cable going into the ocean definatly spells out some sort of underground facility or spaceship
-7. the voices Saheed and Sawyer heard
-8. Saheed saying when he got back from the frech lady "were not alone" a common alien cliche.
-9. The dead bodies from 60 or so years ago...possible dead aliens or original inhabitants of the island.
-10. the polar bears and the compass..both impling a normally cold climate....(aliens changed the climate to fit there liking)
thats about it but i would say that aliens are a BIG possibility.
but who really knows all we can do is wait. And ...unfortuantly because of its success we probably wont find out the full story for another 2 or 3 seasons. oh well more to watch and hypothesis about than.

I hope it isn't aliens. It seems like too easy of a copout, along the lines of "It was all a dream" or "It's all in the imagination of an autistic child."
In any case, I'm still hooked for the time being, but I'm preparing for the show to fall down in one of two ways:
1. Explain too much, and have the whole house of cards fall apart, since it was the mystery that was keeping things interesting in the first place.
2. Have things get progressively stranger, until it all winds up in the Black Lodge.
They seem to be walking a careful path of revealing little bits of information without telling too much, and generally lead to more questions. I guess I'll stay interested as long as they can keep that going.
I donno, Taodallan. Your argument seems to be "weird things keep happening, and aliens are known to make things get weird".
For instance: even assuming an alien terraforming project (for which there's no evidence), where would the polar bears come from? My refrigerator has been consistently cold for a while now without any polar bears setting up shop -- and I happen to know there are some only a few miles away! Maybe I need to buy more salmon.
Anyway, color me unconvinced. There are lots of catch-all explanations for weird things, eg: Psychics! Sinister government biotechology experiments! Spacetime warping! Extraterrestrial nanotechnology! Remnants of an Atlantean civilization! The Rapture! etc.
All of this is meant as constructive criticism. If you didn't notice from the other thread, around here we don't think a Lost theory is worth defending if it isn't worth defending annoyingly.
Were "Lost" on the Fox network, I'd enjoy seeing Mulder & Scully show up in the season finale.
But seriously, I wonder how this will go on past one season. And I say this as a huge fan of the show.
