The Secret of LOST
So, I've figured out this Lost thing.
Now, there really are no spoilers in here, because we've watched only 3 discs of the first season, so that's only about 12 episodes, but something struck me: Kate and someone (Sayid, maybe?) were talking about how it was so unbelievable that so many of them survived with nary a scratch.
Now this may be a writer's ploy that many of my friends (but never me, she says, shocked by the very possibility, haha) have used, wherein the characters acknowledge something totally unbelievable as being totally unbelievable, and the story goes on from there. ("But John, there's no way she could survive trapped in that room after having been poisoned and beaten" "I know Clare, but she did." And off they go to find the killer. Or the wannabe killer as the case might be). Handy little tool for getting the reader/viewer right there with you in your fantastical world. So maybe that's what the Lost writers are doing.
But I don't think so.
Now, those of you who've seen more episodes may already know the answer and know whether I'm right on or off base. But here's what I'm thinking:
They're all still on the plane. One guy is having a dream. At the end of the very last show, he's going to wake up, turn to his companion who looks remarkably like Suzanne Pleshette and say "I just had the strangest dream."
Honest. It could happen. Just you wait and see.

Comments:
LOL! But which of them is the dreamer? *g* Have you started watching the new season yet? Or are you recording it for later? It's gotten off to a rousing start!
i reckon they're all in a hospital somewhere where they are experiencing a vertual reality thing. the 'others' are doctors who come in and out of this reality to check on things or to post differnet type of problems and tasks for these patients.
Well done!
