couple of new theories that i dont think have been discussed

[Michelle]

just a couple of theories i came up with when talkin 2 a mate of mine, n we seemed to agree on them which doesnt happen very often so let me know what you think

the others today are an amalgamation of those who originally lived on the island and those who are left over from the Dharma iniative, basically i decided this becase ben claimed to have been on the island his whole life.. which at my guess means hes been there more than 30 years..roughly the ammount of time its been since the dharma iniative was set up, but we cant be sure about that, and julliet well shes a fertility doctor to do that you would have to be well trained and im presuming would have to have gone to university, which i would presume meant she trained off the island and came to it later. also when jack asked her if they were what was left of dharma in the 1st episode of season 3 she said something like it doesnt matter who we were it matters who we are now which i reckon means there was a change in their plan at some point. maybe thats because they joined forces with the original inhabitants of the island

also during the lost experience that mittlewerk bloke claimed the dharma iniative failed, what if it didnt, what if they found a way 2 extend the life of the earth, n thats where entering the numbers n pushing the button every 108 mins comes in. what if they found a way to extend the life time of earth by 108 minutes at a time and they way 2 do this is by putting the numbers into the computer every 108 minutes. i havent quite decided how this would work yet but its plausable i think

like i said let me no what you think please

Hmm.... good theories... The Others one, I see your points, and I think it could be right.... The 108 min. thing... I'm not so sure, but its a good theory and I would have never thought of it!

[Michelle]

Thanks, the 108 thing is a bit far fetched, but i was thinking that desmond said that kelvin tol him that he was just "saving the world" when he was pushing the button so i just put two and two together and iv probably come up with 5 but hey

[cassiel]

Yeah, if the 108 thing were true, why 108? Why not just press 5768254785932? They were saving the world alright, but not the way we think. I still hold to the discharging EM generator theory. I Just dont know what the generator is for.

I think Ben may have lived on the island all his life but he hasn't been trapped on it. He has some access to the mainland. The Others probably come to the island like people work on oil rigs.

[Michelle]

yeah i was thinking that the people originall came to the islands like people who work on oil rigs, but i dont think they do anymore, i think the ones who r there have been there for a while now and have been abandonned there, remember Kelvin had been waiting ages for replacements that just never came, i think that the Dharma people realised replacements were not coming and joined forces with the other people on the island the natives of the island to survive.
