I'm glad you appreciated my (first) theory! Anyway, to answer your question about Charlie singing his song to Kate, I just thought he does it to spark her memory, seeing as he feels the band was fairly famous in the "real world." However, maybe they had some connection prior to the crash, like so many others. (Also, Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan were an item early on in the series, which could explain a lot of the chemistry between them back then!) Hey, AmILost, so good to hear from you!

Lo and behold, what catches my eye within the first minutes of the episode - Charlie writes "FATE" onto the knuckle bands he.is wearing. Now if that doesn't fit right into your theory I don't know what does? (Isn't it VERY coincidental that your username is Imisscharlie, you write about fate and that Charlie wrote "FATE" on his knuckle bands at the beginning of the series?) Btw, I have a feeling that the ancient Fates will come to fruition during season 6 and your theory on who they may be as well as the helper beauties sounds quite plausible. Since I'm talking about Charlie I might as well ask what you and anyone else thinks may be behind him singing his hit song's title many times to Kate, "We are everybody" to help her figure out where she "might have seen him before"? I also posted this as a theory today, but I figure it was appropriate to mention here as well.

I'd like to get a copy of "The Power of Myth" it sounds like a worthy read before the new season starts! Thank you, all, for your kind words.

I really liked the idea but alot of religions, myths, & civilizations could somewhat easily fit into the show's plot but you did make direct references that intrigue me like The "Older Ladies" that was a good one especially Ms. Hawking.

I don't know if the posts are still there or if you were on here then but there was a bunch of talk on just that subject awhile back. Hey Yojimbo.

Joseph Campbell layed out these recurrent mythical structures of the worlds myths, and they are great for screenwriters to follow as all the archetypes are there. The call to action, the reluctant hero, etc. They're all there as they have been for hundreds / thousands of years. Actually I've just grabbed my copy of "The Power of Myth" from my bookshelf behind me and started opening to random pages. 6-for-6 times, what Campbell is discussing is INCREDIBLY relevant to Lost. Like as in, he could be discussing the show. I'd guarantee either Damon or Carlton (and a few other Lost writers) have read this book.

I read somewhere on the internet a comparison of them and the author traced it back to the Sumerians, who had the earliest civilization. The story of Enki and Enlil reminds me alot of Jacob and MIB.

The similarities of our stories, folklore and religions all point to our common humanity. I think that this commonality of the human spirit is essentially what Lost is all about--mankind's search for meaning and spiritual connection in an unforgiving and harsh world. I agree Tas.
