So, how is Kate able to roam around freely after what she did to her father, once she got back to mainland? theres a question you should be asking.

Why did Jack tell Kate that he was "SICK....OF LYING." ?

maybe these people on this "boat" will allow our losties to go back to the real world, but they have to keep their mouths shut about the island or something. Maybe they threaten them with other things, who knows at this point, this is all just speculation.

Personally, I'm hoping TO GOD that for whatever reason Jack has for wanting to go back to the island(POST being "rescued" of course) it is for the good of the losties, and even more so for the world. If you pay attention @ the end of "Through the Looking Glass", when Jack is sitting on the floor of his apartment trying to call Kate....there are MAPS everywhere, all kinds of instruments and such, which tells us that Jack obviously made a very bad decision in leaving the island, and he wants to redeem himself by going back and..........thats where i cant seem to put anymore together. Who actually got off the island like Kate and Jack? How long has passed since the radio tower/naomi getting smoked by Locke's knife incident until we see Kate and Jack @ LAX? What is Jack/Kate being forced to lie about, and to what extent would these people on "Naomi's Boat" go to to insure that whoever did get back (Kate, Jack, etc.) kept their mouth shut? This should be the topic of discussion here, not any out of reach theory that half of the lost community seems to want to indulge themselves in these days....i read some of the craziest non-sense, where people have branched off and branched off, but im telling you, i read an interview with Evangeline Lilly from "The Official Lost Magazine" lol and SHE SAID that the writers clued her and Matthew Fox in on EXACTLY where there characters were at MENTALLY at that point in time at the end of the finale. She said that they acted in a way that reflected some of the choices they've made up until that point, but we wont know what any of those are until 4th, maybe 5th or 6th season.

SPECULATION people...just keep it in the grip of reality, the producers of the show no doubt enjoy people coming up with crazy theories and what not, but im telling you, EVERYTHING is there for us to see...they hint at the tiniest of tiny details 2 seasons before, and then you see this pop up and you're like oh wow, that was forshadowed what, like, 30 episodes ago? I guess what im saying is, keep the speculation based off of FACT. People can argue, "Well anything is Possible." Bulls**T. Maybe on other tv shows, but not lost. Its all mapped out people. We just have to take what we can from what we've seen, and try to connect SOME of the dots now, and to leave others to be connected later.

you raised some good points there, I just hope the next season is spent on the island, I dont know but watching the losties in the real world isnt as exciting as on the island. I think Ben wanted Jack to call the ship because a few episodes before that ben said he manipulates people into thinking there doing what he doesnt want them to do when he really does, If that makes sense lol. Personally i think Naomi is an other, I also think Juliette is still working with ben.

I'm still suspicious of Juliette too because she was going with Jack and the losties to the radio tower, and then decided to go back with Sawyer to get the guns(which she lied about) and check on those left at the beach. She didn't have to go, but she probably thought she should be keeping tabs on what Sawyer was doing and on what happened at the beach.

yeah I have read a lot of "theories" that I thought were complete nonsense, but I think they still have value and are worth conversation.
In the course of talking about them it may spark ideas that are closer to the facts presented in LOsT.
But I do think anything is possible is a valid argument. A smoke monster, Jacob, swan station, Rose and Juliet's sister apparently being cured of cancer, Locke's ability to walk, so many survivors of a catastrophic plane crash, etc. All these events seem to leave the realm of possibility wide open.

Yeah Juliet is still a mystery. I think she was definitly a good person prior to her arrival on the island. I hope she still is and that she is now completly allied with the losties. Ultimately I think her current goal is to get off the island. This may motivate her to double cross Jack and his gang, but I hope not
