My Theory on LOST

Those who know me know that I am a Lost nut. I watch and rewatch every episode religiously and study everything they reference. So here is my overall theory of what's going on on the island. I hope it's somewhat more cohesive than Dwight's (http://blogs.nbc.com/office/archives/ar … 6-w02.html).

Here goes: You know the numbers? These no one has found any mathematical relationship between these numbers, though I hardly think 6 is enough to figure out a complicated series. It had been noted that each of the 6 numbers is a number that has been retired by the Yankees. (Gehrig 4, Berra 8, Munson 15, Ford 16, Mattingly 23 and Robinson 42) These numbers add up to 108, which is incidentally the number that the ticker resets to whenever they press the button. There are also 108 stitches on an official MLB baseball.

So the basic theory is that Steinbrenner met with a kooky Australian psychic who told him that their franchise would die out after losing too many titles to the Red Sox, mainly because of their two star future Hall of Fame players, Walt and Aaron. Steinbrenner took on a second identity, a scientist named Hanzo, and created the Dharma initiative to get these two kids on an island and keep them from ever playing baseball.

The monstrous black electromagnetic cloud is the soul of Billy Martin trying to destroy the island to get back at Steinbrenner for firing and rehiring him four times. Three Dharma hatches have been found (the Desmond hatch, the tailies hatch and the most recent medical hatch. The fourth contains the Donald Trump clone who only knows two words, and I'm sure you can guess what they are.

As for the relationship between all the characters, Sawyer eating at Kate's mom's diner, Sayid being on Kate's dad's TV, Sayid being interrogated by Kate's dad, Jack being there when Shannon's dad died, Hurley on Jin and Sun's TV, all of that is the work of Billy Martin from the afterlife. Steinbrenner was only concerned with Walt and Aaron. Once he knew Walt would be on that plane, he contacted the psychic, who had made contact with Claire and started this whole plan, to put Claire on that same plane. Martin, on the other hand, got badasses like Sawyer and Eko on the plane so that they can help screw with the Dharma plans.

Finally, I would like to address the "Others". These are Yankee employees. Come on, you think someone who'll hire A-Rod and Big Unit is gonna hesitate to hire Ethan and that Swamp Thing guy? They, as well as the costs for electric power, are on Steinbrenner's payroll and the reason why the Yankees can't stay under cap and suffered a $60 million loss last year. I can't wait to see the Others dance YMCA like the Yankees groundskeepers do.

Oh, and the French chick is just fucking nuts.

Ta da! You have no reason to watch this show anymore.

Terry,
  The excessive reruns might be due to the fact that alot of the set is outside so they are subject to the weather conditions.

I never thought about that, I was wondering if it had to do with the high production values. Lost is more like a big screen movie then a weekly TV show.

That's how I interpreted it--a confession of sorts.  That and his what, 40? days without speaking were his pennance.

I was just talking about this with my roommates--that it would be really cool to see Lost in a theater.

That would rock.  It would at least beat some of the latest flicks I've seen.

The writers are doing the same thing.  Next week. . .the pilot is supposed to come back from the dead too.  Like all the people from the back of the plane that blew to smitherines in Season 1.
