But how can she be part of "the Others" that the French lady talks about? Her "The Others" were there 16+years ago... And why are these people w/ Rodriquez so "savage". And the people with Jack etc so humane?
And did you notice in the Orientation video how the benefactor of the experiment they set up was this mysterious type guy way up high in the office building? Obviously this is some "evil" and dirty" experiment of somet nature.
I also think that the pirate/slave ship plays into it... so we have 1 island, we know a priate ship landed 100s of years ago on it, and a French science teams accidentally got ship wrecked on it? and a jet liner crash near it? And a boating/yacht accident? AND the drug runner plane? And this is the electormagnetic station? Hmmm something drawing unknowing participants towards the island? So that there is an endless cycle of lab rats?
Edit: oh, and we know for certain there are more stations to this experiment. I think he said "Swan is station 3, the electromagnetic station on this island" (paraphrased) So does that mean more islands? Or more stations on that 1 island.
And Jack is a pussy for pushing the button.
Yup. I agree. This island is some sort of Bermuda Triangle effect/experiment.
HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN:
1.) JJ Abrams wants to make it to syndication (i.e. millions).
2.) JJ and writers started with a premise for the pilot and enough episode stories for a season.
3.) The show becomes successful, and JJ/writers start inventing shyte to keep the series going until syndication. With only enough "answer gifts" to keep the people watching.
4.) JJ/writers start concoting so many questions and dead-end stories that the whole thing by series end is a mish-mash of contradicting, ill-thought out story lines.
5.) Viewership will fall as people become frustrated. JJ Abrams goal of making a movie will falter due to "unsatisfactory" viewership. So the final 2 hour made for TV episode will try to tie the most important story lines together in a mediocre "C" grade way. THE END.
CONCLUSION:
The show is a floating turd. The show, like the Matrix Trilogy or Twin Peaks will add so many unanswered clues that it'll end up in the failed cult classic trash bin.
