'Safe'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
So possibly the hatch is where some group of people possibly were watching 'the Others', who may be possibly infected with something contagious? To make sure they stay on the island? Or am I really, really reaching?
Works for me.
Also, I can't remember--does the hatch have anything to do with the Black Rock? Because the magnet that was working on Jack's key made me think of the Black Rock. Maybe it's a giant magnet. Oh, hey, and maybe that's why the plane and the ship crashed/were drawn there?
On this show, canon will only slow you down. Just oogle the pretty.Yes, that's why I can't make myself read any long recaps, or even a bunch of medium ones. I need the season in a nutshell.
Do I miss anything crucial below...
GROUP: Plane Crash!
GROUP! SCARY
GROUP: OMGWTFPOLARBEAR
JACK: Well, she might be a deadly killer, but she sure is pretty, and it looks like we're going to be here a while.
CHARLIE: Want drugs, or possibly, pre-impregnated woman
AUDIENCE: Is the kid creepy, or is the kid creepy? And his little dog, too.
AUDIENCE: Oh, much like the dog's, the kid's mother was a bitch, but at least that kid wasn't his own step-sister's bitch like someone else around here, cuz ewwwww.
JACK: You want to talk bitch? My father was a real bitch.
DANIEL DAE Lewis KIM and SUN: We speak English, but we don't actually want to talk to
you.
CRAZY FRENCH WOMAN: Parlez Vous Fracais?
MISSING FOUND PREGNANT UNPREGNANT GIRL: Did the dingoes eat my baby?
DOG: Urp.
CHARLIE: I'm a hobbit and small enough to be a baby. Oh, here's your baby. Can I watch you breast feed?
KATE: Hmmmm. Do I like Jack, or Sawyer? Yes.
SAYID: That I'm with Snickerbitch is all the proof you need that clearly we're in Hell, or at least purgatory. Oh, and there was a woman in a head scarf somewhere in my past.
LOCK: I once was lost but now am found
'twas blind but now I see
'twas in a wheel chair
and you ain't puttin' me back in, sucker
I'm this island's bitch
I'll set the dynamite off right in your fat face
and how are you still so big, living on fruit and pork, anyhow?
HURLEY: Because the numbers are bad. Have you not been listening? Just because I'm crazy doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Also, I can't remember--does the hatch have anything to do with the Black Rock?
The Black Rock is the old ship they got the dynamite from.

Oh, right. I guess my Giant Magnet theory will have to go unproven.
what do you think of this theory (or are "Lost" fans bringing the crazy):
I think the guy in the hatch was embarking on an around the world sailboat race, and was swept onto the island. He found the hatch, climbed down and made himself at home for a few years. The isolation, and perhaps an intense magnetic field from the underground facility has been driving him insane. It is a well known fact that intense magnetic fields can cause an intense feeling of being watched and hallucinations, as well as causing "paranormal" occurances. The island is wiped from the map because it is still a classified area where a philidelphia-like experiment during the cold war went terribly wrong. The injections supposedly can keep you safe from the effects, but apparently, from the actions of Desmond, they don't work. Nobody can keep their wits when exposed to the experiment. Everyone who stays on the island is probably also rendered sterile and children, of course, are taken as a matter of survival. Each group becomes so incredibly paranoid that anyone else becomes an "other" and is percieved as a threat. When faced with life or death, anyone becomes incredibly retrospective, and as they succomb to the effects of the island, things become more than just coincidence. Locke was not truly disabled, he was told by a doctor that he would never walk again, (hint from the backstory of Jack)and he believed himself into that chair. Somehow he knew in his heart he wasn't crippled. The rest is Hollywood. Enjoy.
Here is the crazy (another theory):
Roussau's genetic mirror theory says that everyone in the world has an exact twin somewhere, however according to the theory you never encounter this person, by laws of probablitly and other natuaral occuring phemnomen. Its the theory that was devised by a French Mathematician named Marseille Roussau in the year 1988. He used a series of numbers to explain his theory. Now I know you're not going to believe this but here goes. 4 8 15 16 23 42 The 4 stands for 4 degrees of separation (not 6 or 7 as commonly stated.) Roussau believed that everyone in the world was connected by four different people. So in theory could meet yourself by using four different people connected to you. Example: Your brother's, boss's, neighbor nephew, knows your mirror. The 8 stands for the eight continent, or the only place in the world where you could meet your mirror. He calculated it to be somewhere in the south pacific. Now we know its not actually as large as the other contintents but its used figurtively because everyone in all 7 continents could meet there mirror on the 8th universal continent. The 15 stands for the chances of you acually meeting yourself on this place, as in 15 out of 4,815,162,342. Look at the second set "815." Ring any bells? Interesting huh? The 16 stands for the maximum amount of people that could encounter thier twin all at the same time. Think about the number of main characters. The 23 is the number of years apart your twin and yourself are. You are not the same age as your twin. By chance and probablity it takes 23 years exactly for the same genes that made you to be connected again to form another you. The 42 stands for the maximimum number of years your twin and yourself can be alive at the same time. However people do die at diffferent times so thats why everyone isn't dead at 75. For example my twin was born on Sept. 6 2003 b/c i was born on Spet. 6 1980. Now that doesn't mean i will die in the year 2045, I could, but its not set in stone. My twin could die when he is 16, and then the whole thing starts over.
I don't mean to be mean, but I sincerely doubt that there's any such guy as in the second theory. I'm fairly certain, given the presence of a Locke on the show, that Rousseau is named for the philosopher Jean-Jacques.

Well, you left out the giant pink bunny on the north slope, ...
Oh, I should read closer. You're not endorsing that theory, but calling it the crazy.
