Questions I Can't Wait to Have Answered!

There is so much mystery surounding the TV show Lost and I am a huge fan! I love that there is a show out there that expects so much from it's audience. And I love trying to figure some of it out as the show progresses.

Here's a list of some of the biggest questions that I can't wait to have answered. Maybe you have some of the same questions in your mind, too. Let's examine the theories that are out there and ponder the mystery that is Lost.

Who is Jacob? 

What we know about Jacob:

- He looks to be the apparent leader of the Others. He's the person Ben receives his orders from.
- He's a bit "over-worldly." Not everyone can see or hear him.
- He asked John Looke for help.
- He was played by a crewman on the set and Carlton Cuse supplied his voice. They don't want us to know who Jacob is yet.

My husband is of the opinion that Jacob is actually a time-traveling Jack. I think that Jacob is someone that we haven't met yet. But then again, I also lean towards thinking that Jacob is someone we've met before, but the producers want his unveiling to be as shocking as the finale of season three was.

So, how about you? What are your own Jacob theories?

What the Heck is the Monster? 

What we know about the Monster:

- It looks like a cloud of black smoke.
- It makes a lot of industrialized noise.
- It's been called "The Security System" and been labeled as "Cerberus" on the Blast Door Map.
- It can kill, but it doesn't always do that.
- It seems to be able to read and judge people.

There's a theory I've heard that I like: the Monster was originally a highly advanced security system designed to separate participants in the experimental Dharma hatches (to frighten people if they strayed too far from their experiment location, etc). However, the electromagnetic force on the island has mutated it. So, in theory, it may be able to be deactivated, if someone were able to find the control room for it.

What's the Story with Walt? 

What we know about Walt:

- He's "special."
- He's left the island, yet he was seen on the island in the season finale.
- We've been told that Walt's aging will be explained.

My guess... Walt was speaking to John (when he was still lying in the mass grave) from the future. One interesting thing to note: Walt appears in the same clothes in every single episode (including the finale). Interesting. Very interesting.

What are your thoughts? How did he get to the island and how will the writers explain his growth?

So, what are your ideas about Walt's story?

We see michael (his dad) working for ben in that other boat on season 4, so maybe Michael returned Walt to the island, and all this time travel stuff and different time perspectives from the island and off the island would explain his ageing.

Who's on that Boat? 

What we know:

- Naomi's boat was not Penny's boat.
- Ben knows that there is something sinister is out there in the water.

So, who is it? My guess... Mittelwerk. Revealed to be a bit of a nasty character in the Lost Experience, it's my guess that this is where he comes to play a part in the story. He wants the island. He's scary.

What do you think?

How is it that They're All Connected? 

How is it possible that so many people could be so connected? Jack and Claire are brother and sister! Ana-Lucia was working with Jack's dad! Libby was in the same mental health institute as Hurley! And she gave Desmond her boat! And Desmond met Jack running steps at the same stadium! Sayid met both Kelvin and Kate's dad during the Gulf War! Anthony Cooper is really Sawyer! And there's so many more...

How can all these things really be possible?! There's got to be an explanation. My guess? I don't have one. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

How about you? You have a theory?

How Can it Be? 

So, what's your two cents on the matter? How are all these people related?!
