It's no mystery that "Lost" is one of the most talked about shows on television. What does remain a mystery, however, is the secret behind the "Others" on the island. For those who haven't already been wrapped up in the wave of excitement surrounding the show, the "Others" are the mysterious people that weren't on the plane who keep popping up around the island and creating havoc for the survivors.
In a recent interview with "Us Weekly", "Lost" executive producer Carlton Cuse stated that the two younger men on the mysterious boat that kidnapped Walt (a young boy with special mind powers) during the season finale are "a subtle but long-range clue" about the mysteries of the island.
Intrigued, I re-watched the kidnapping scene, this time paying special attention to the two men to which Cuse referred. Because the scene takes place at night, the camera never fully exposes the men's physical features, but they look very similar. In fact, they seem to be identical.
So, what does this reveal? Perhaps the "Others" are engaged in human cloning. This would certainly explain the sightings of Jack's father on the island, especially considering that his father's body was removed from its casket. Similarly, this theory also sheds light on reports that Ian Somerhalder may appear in some episodes next season, even though Boone is definitely dead. Could we see a cloned version of Boone? Maybe.
Of course, I may be entirely off base, but at least it's something to consider as we wait for season two of television's most fascinating show.
Also, for those fans pondering the fate of Michael, Jin, and Sawyer after the "Others" destroyed their raft and left them stranded fifteen miles off shore, don't fret. Sources close to the show have confirmed to me that they will be returning next season, leaving open countless possibilities for next season's plot lines.
