The Following Season - Page 2

Which means that Ben IS protecting the island, he knows it will be destroyed by tests if big corporations take over. Ben was not lying to Jack, and he is a good guy. he just goes about being a good guy in the wrong way.

We all have to remember Lost is perspectives.. Once we see other perspectives we can understand more of the show.. What was once bad, could end up good.. Much like our Losties

Sadly, I only just leared about the Lost Experience. Long after it was over. Am I at a total disadvantage not knowing all this insider stuff? I'll be pretty p'ed off if so.

He had the freighter commissioned by Paik Heavy Industries (Sun's dad) and was procuring materials for a trip to the Pacific to look for something...I don't think I have to elaborate any further do I?

Can't wait to find out next season!

I'm glad to see someone finally began to incorporate information from the Lost Experience into these theories. It is an integral part of the Lost Universe and people really should look at it to gain a more holistic look at the series.

I think when the show comes back next February, we're going to find the survivors back in the "real world", with flashbacks filling in the missing information from when they were rescued up until the present. We'll learn that Thomas Mittelwerk, the renegade leader who imprisoned Alvar Hanso and destroyed the Hanso Foundation Headquarters, was responsible for taking the Losties off the island. I think Mittelwerk and the people who are working for him will develop a cover story, stating that they found the survivors on a diffferent island, and then procede to blackmail them if they were to speak out. I also think it's possible that Ben and Jack become friends back on the mainland, with Ben letting him in on the secrets of the island. Jack is so depressed because he realizes the tremendous powers that the island contained, as it was one of the few places where the Valenzeti Equation (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) could be altered successfully. Now that it is in the hands of some dubious characters, Jack's guilt is so great that he feels compelled to get back there and reclaim the island for the good guys.

to answer the question originally posed by this thread...

the great mystery of next season will be,

What happened to the people on the island?

I predict we will see our survivors in present time, already rescued and trying to carry on their lives in the "real" world, with various problems, consequences, and we will be asking ourselves all season, What happened in between the phone call by Jack and the present day?

I think Other Others will come to the island, and Jack and the Losties who now have an advantage over the original Others have a choice to make, go home or stay and fight the good fight.

Season 5 will be how to get the damn whispers out of my head..

What puzzles me is how they are going to lead us into the swing of Season 4. From S1-S2 they had the hatch discovery. From S2-S3 they had the capturing of Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. And now we are left with a flash-foward to S4? Hmmm. Are they going to start us back on the island and explain the flash foward. Or maybe they will start back at home? Wait I got it! Some how Jack will get a 2nd chance and we will rewatch the final moments b4 he decides to call whoever picked up on the radio. I don't know. I'm just blabbering here..

How many "Others" are left?? Maby 30 to start with counting men,women and children (Where are they keeping those kids??)

"Which means that Ben IS protecting the island, he knows it will be destroyed by tests if big corporations take over. Ben was not lying to Jack, and he is a good guy. he just goes about being a good guy in the wrong way."

yes and Ben will forge an alliance through Locke to the LOSTies
and then Dharma re-invades
