Feel free to add your island theories.
Add me to your ping list. Can't wait for the new season to start!
Put me on this ping list, and it's about time! Lost, Battlestar Gallactica and 24 are the best shows on TV right now.
I also heard that Locke will be back to his kick a$$ self this season. Can't wait. Locke is my favorite character, followed by Eko and Desmond.
Personally, I think that "The Others" were once part of the Dharma Intiative, and found out about some of the Hanso Foundation's shadier dealings and rebelled. They have been in hiding using the technology gleaned form their experiments to wage a quiet war against the Hanso Foundation.
I think the Losties were brought to the island because of some unknown connection to Hanso/Dharma. But the crash landing was no accident.

I definitely an of the impression that The Others really are good people.
I wonder if anything means anything on this show.
Here's my theory - some quasi-government international agency has been conducting a multi-generational mindf*ck experiment on these people (they almost all have parents who were also either screwed up or made powerful in some way.) After forty or fifty years, the experiment is finally coming to a head or falling apart, depending on your point of view. That's why they've been bumping into each other at various points in their lives and that's why they were all brought to this island at this time.
Also, Walt's mother (Michael's ex) was in on the experiment - that's why she had to take Walt halfway around the world and stop his contact with Michael. Walt's some freakish fruit of the experiment, and the Dharma gang either had her killed for trying to get him out or she's not really dead and will be showing up on the island this season.
I could be wrong, but if it turns out that it is all just crazy Hurley's dream, I will find everybody involved in creating this show and torture them to death.
I don't think it's coincidence that he is named after the Wizard of Oz character.
The question is - does it mean something to the island, or is it just the producer having fun with all the obsessed fans?

I don't follow Lost Experience. Trying to keep up with all the theories makes my head spin enough as it is without getting obsessed with a game.
Agreed about the Lost Experience. I have heard that the book "the Bad Twin" wasn't all that great and aside from mentioning the Hanso Foundation, and the dedication to "CIndy, my high flying angel" at the beginning, it has nothing to do with Lost, other than having been written by a dead character on the show.
Woohoo! One week to go.
I shall remain one season behind. Season 2 DVD comes out next week.
I love Lost. I wouldn't mind being on the ping list.
I saw that my local station is airing a Lost recap and interview with Damon Lindelof to talk about Season 3 and what it entails, etc. on Sept 2nd sometime. My DVR is set to record it, so I don't remember exact details.
I can't wait for Season 3...I'm hoping they won't drag out the episodes this year like they did last year though. That sucked.
Please add me to the list!
They are dragging it out, kind of. 6 weeks starting in October. Then gone and not back until Feb. But once it's back in Feb, there will be 17 straight episodes. No repeats.
Re: dragging out episodes....the thing that bothered me, was that each episode itself was like dragging, and didn't really answer many questions or get to a lot of action, so they left me wanting more out of it and with more questions, than answers. I hope they liven up the episodes more.
And although we have that 12 week break, I'm superbly happy they aren't doing the reruns every other week.
The recap is Sept 27th.

Recapping the 2nd season on the island
Interesting. I will have to DVR that.
They also have scheduled a recap of both seasons on the 27th.
Please add me to the Lost ping list. Can't wait for the start of season 3!!!!!
