Good catch on the orange AmILost! I’d forgotten about that.

I love this theory! It very much seems to make sense. And if it turns out to be true then talk about foreshadowing with Locke smiling with an NAVEL orange peel in his mouth during the pilot episode! That would certainly solidfy that JJ, Damon and Carlton were on top of the main storyline from the get go in my book.

JacobLovesYou I’m glad you liked this. I didn’t have the Dark Tower series in mind but I can see the similarities now that you mention it. You mention the fountain of youth and the film “The Fountain” comes to mind. Great points that you raise.

This makes a lot of sense and I think that you’re definitely on to something. This also relates to Stephen King’s Dark Tower Series (which the producers have cited as a heavy influence). In the series the Dark Tower is the “nexus of the multiverse” and if it falls then it’s “support” of the other worlds will crumble thus ending life entirely. This obviously sounds like the warnings we’ve heard over and over during this season. Similarly, I like to think that perhaps the light is emanating from the “fountain of youth/life”. This could vaguely explain why MIB became the invincible smoke monster because the only thing that separates God from humanity is mortality. Therefore, he lost his human form and became a type of deity. Similarly, mother said that the light is inside every man and that every man wants more. I think this quote directly relates to life and the dream of immortality, but who knows. I can’t wait to find out this sunday! Damn, I can’t believe it’s ending

It’s an innie. You can tell because Brother Smokey falls in to it.

I’ve had this thought for awhile but nothing really in the show to support it. And then I saw the Light. Although I’ve talked about Foucault’s Pendulum before it wasn’t until recently that I realized the purpose for it in the book was similar to it’s use in the Lamp Post.

There is a lot in the book I refer too, including an Egyptian version. I kept to to Pacific and Hawaii because of the closer relation to Lost.

I have no doubt that the biggest ‘NO’ moment is coming. No is the most powerful weapon we can wield.

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my theories. Thank you for reading and commenting on them.

Comment posted before I was done…odd…

I needed to ask though…Is it an innie or an outie…?
Im kidding…

I think this holds some ground when comparing it to the other legends you mention, and I think that this is going to be one of those things that is all in all, left up to us.

But when looking back and forth at the island as you say, all of the references that you mentioned, I think its safe to say that the island definitely fits the bill.

Great thoughts, I always enjoy your insight and love the line of thought you think by…

I still think sometimes that someone on the show is going to say a defiant and definitive “no” when it comes down to the wire…proving many of your previous thought correct as well…

Thanks as always for the theories and your insight!

Great thoughts Achalli…

Well played in this one with the island carrying great importance as the belly button of the world…

I like the way this ties Lost to not just one legend, but several.

You know I can vote for it representing Mu, and Foulcaults Pendulum is a great book with direct ties to the show as you mentioned.

Ive enjoyed your theories from Atlantis, to Illuminatus…and The Prisoner, to Schrodingers Cat…
