What is't? a spirit?
Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir,
It carries a brave form. But 'tis a spirit.
The Tempest. Act i. Sc. 2
Ok, my Wild Lost Speculation:
The survivors are not be who they think they are and they're not really
survivors of a plane crash. That's why none of the survivors were seriously
hurt. It's been set up to look like a crash as some kind of grand Truman
Show-like psychological/survival experiment or game. I don't know by who.
But that's why the crash has only been shown through individual memory
flashback. And that is why no one is coming to rescue them.
Some/all of their memories are planted. Locke never was in a wheel chair,
but he thinks he was.
The cable is part of a power souce for the island. It's connected to a
control center offshore. Many of the animal sounds and voices we hear,
as well as the image of Jack's father, etc come from hidden speakers and
cameras in the jungle. That's why we see such weird stuff, but producers
insist there is not a supernatural explaination.
Like an interactive murder mystery dinner on ritalin, some of the survivors
are in on it. The pilot was a part of it - that's why he was so idiotic
and climbed out of the window when the "monster" was out there
and was "killed." But no one actually verified he was dead,
did they? His body (which was bloodied, but fully intact and not chewed
on) was convienently too high up in the trees to do this.
Danielle is not who she claims to be and is a part of the "game."
That is why the trigger on Sayid's gun was disabled.
They're not allowed to leave by whomever is in charge - that is why Sayid
was hit over the head when trying to transmit a signal.
Someday, the survivors will start to realize things aren't as they seem.
<end speculation>
Does anyone remember what happened to the body of the marshall when he
died? I'm trying to think of how he would fit into this scenario...
Ms Anthropy
I like your theory. It makes sense.
The only thing is - the dead people. They burned the bodies, that one
guy was sucked into an engine, and the Marshall was dying until Jack finished
him off.

I'm also trying to figure how the marshall would fit into that scenario.
The incidental deaths aren't really a problem, as not everyone would be
expected to survive such an experiment/game, as I'm sure "they"
expect the survivors to start killing each other. Dead bodies could have
been added to the wreckage for realism.
It is just odd that, except for the marshall, none of the survivors were
even seriously wounded.
Ms Anthropy
What about when they were in the cave and couldnt breath in a game no
ones sopposed to get hurt right? They could have died in the cave.

There is too much red tape for one; if you were going to be in a game
where the possibiltiy of death was as real as it is then they producers
would need your approval for one, not to mention the lawsuits it would
cause or how expensive wiring a whole island with speakers and cameras
would be. As far as no major injuries what about the man with the leg?
or Rose having to have CPR to survive or Jacks big ol' gash on his back?
Lost at sea
Did anybody ever see the movie "Cube"?
Whoever was perpetrating the experiment in that movie didn't get the consent
of the subjects first and didn't care what happened to them.
I have sometimes thought that the plane crash never happened because we
only see it in flashbacks and I've also doubted the survivors' memories
probably because I am such a fan of the movie "Dark City".

Lost at Sea- I think that you're thinking that the show is not really
a show, but a game.
The poster's intent, I believe, was to say that the events on the island
are a game, something along the lines of "Manhunt" or "Saw";
some crazy guy kidnapping people and making them do their bidding without
them knowing.
Don't tell me what I can't do.

There are so many good theories out there , I am so amazed at our lovely
brains. The ultimate game of survival. I love it and they have no idea
what is going on- even greater. I don't think Danielle is who she seems
either- she a little mysterious and on this island - nothing is as it
seems.

If you mean like the Truman Show kind of thing here, then I really hope
that's not the case...it seems too weird, not compelling enough..maybe its
because i found that movie a little boring. Lol.

I would be pretty schocked if this was true... but I like the theory. Sayid's
discovery of the cable kinda looked like a moment similar to Truman discovering
the "end of the ocean".

Exactly.
Don't get hung up on the game angle. I brought up the Truman Show as an
example of living in a world of illusion, not that I thought the survivors
were being broadcast on network tv.
My theory doesn't speculate on why they are there. Just that the world
they are in is not what is seems to be. There is a force behind the scenes
that is engineering things.
There is absolutley no reason death as a consequence could not be a part
of it. Did you ever see The Running Man? Gladiator? Or even Triple X -
do you think all the convicts survived the South American drug plantation
raid at the start of that movie? Those that died were tested and failed.
We know that governments have done fatal experiements on people. Death
does not rule out that this is an experiment or type of cruel entertainment.
I am NOT suggesting that Lost is just like any of those movies. I'm curious
to see the unique twist. My speculation was only that part of it would
be that the island experience is being artificially engineered by an outside
force.
Was it just a timely coincidence that Jack's hallucinations of his father
led him to the supply of fresh water - just as the supply was running
out? Very helpful hallucination indeed. Nothing could cut short the "experiment"
(I'll refrain from calling it a game) like mass dehydration.
I also suspect that something like "Total Recall" is going on
and the the flashback memories are tainted fictionalized memories.
Can anyone confirm to me that the Marshall's body was burned with the
rest?

Wow, I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight!
Your theory is great, and very spooky. It would also explain the voices
that Danielle and Sayid hear.
