What is't? a spirit?
Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir,
It carries a brave form. But 'tis a spirit.

New Theory...(my second one)

Don't know if anyone touched on this before, but I was trying to remember this British movie I saw this year that seemed to have a great twist.
What if ALL the people on the island were actually rescued and were in a coma of sorts. The are clinging to life in the hospital and what happens on the island is a fusion of their coma state and what is really going on.


For instance: Jack is near death, but his father is by his side hoping for a recovery. Perhaps when they are in the coma, their minds are still reliving moments of their pasts, their fears and their surroundings.


Who knows what a person in a coma experiences. Maybe they go to an island where they are LOST to the world and have to overcome physical, mental and emotional obstacles in order to come out of the coma.


Sounds silly but that's what I was thinking. There really was a crash and the victims go back there while comatose to the world.


Not quite purgatory, not quite a dream and they are not quite dead.


Hmmmm...

What do you think?

people would have to start disappearing as they came out of comas, maybe they could be ripped away like those people in the forgotten.

Has anyone seen Rose lately? And who can possibly keep track of all the extras - I keep seeing the same ones over and over again. They must have seniority or better seat numbers.
