How about this theory........The discussion between Ben and Charles Widmore in the last episode has sparked a new theory that Ben and Charles have a bet, just like the Duke brothers in Trading Places.  It's a long shot, but it does bring to light some interesting points:

1. Ben and Charles have known each other for a long time and they both know about the island.

2.  Has Ben created some way to hide the island?  Or is it some natural occurance.....This is a big question.

3.  Who will win and will Ben kill Penny?

The show is over!  The last episode will air the week of 3/24 and CBS stated that no amount of nuts would bring the show back.  Too bad, because this show was a good concept and had some good actors.  Jericho will be missed.

What the hell is Michael doing on the ship?  It should be interesting to find out his role and what he has been doing for Ben.  Any my question, how did he get placed on the ship?

Any what is Ben covering up? 

Sun is a confirmed Oceanic Six member, but everyone who thought Jin would be by her side are wrong.  Jin is killed off somewhere along the way and Sun names her baby Ji Yeon in memery of Jin.

As for how it was portraited - brilliant.  A flash forward combined with a flash back was excellent show and kept us thinking the entire time.

Who is the sixth Oceanic Six memeber?  My bet is Sawyer.  Locke will die on the island or never leave and in the first episode Kate had to get back to someone.....it must be Sawyer.  Anyone else have some ideas?

Claire's baby Aaron, revealed as Kate's son in the latest episode, is not one of the oceanic six.  Why?  Becuase he was born on the island and you need room in the remaining count for Sun, Jin and Sawyer.

My question - What are they all lying for?  what are they protecting?  And is it Sawyer or Locke the 6th survior?

Sayid is back to torture and assination in the latest flash forward in Lost season 3, but who is he protecting?  It can't be the other Oceanic 6 because they seem to be doing fine.  I think this little play on who Sayid is protecting leads to the fact that many of the survivors decided to stay and live on the island.

So is the oceanic six the really the only survivors of flight 815 - or is every other survivor still living in the compound on the island?  Think about it.
