I've been reading this page alot today I've noticed alot of deleting is going on. Can't we just play nice?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ruthio (talk • contribs) .

From the Theory Page

Below, from the theory page. Some of it should go somewhere else, the rest is a discussion.

• Perhaps Ben waking up in the Sahara in the flash forward in "The Shape of Things to Come" is resultant from the movement of the island, but the time difference between the island and the rest of the world causes him to move forth in time.
• The island moving is the reason for Ben wearing the Dharka when he wakes up in the desert. The island has moved to a colder climate (thus also the "frozen donkey wheel")
  • It's pretty obvious that Ben intended to go to Tunisia and carry out his purposes in Iraq and London. It wasn't an accident.
    • Producers have made it pretty plain that "frozen donkey wheel" is a red herring to throw people of the scent, not a clue.
      • Can you back that up? I was under the impression it wasn't exactly a clue because it won't make any sense until after we've seen the scene it refers to. But that doesn't mean it's a red herring, either. Jacob's Lather 08:08, 9 May 2008 (PDT)
        • Last year's finale scene was referred to as "The Snake in the Mailbox." The term had nothing to do wit the actual scene -- Kate and Jack talking about going back to the island. ParticleMan 11:27, 9 May 2008 (PDT)

This is not even half a theory... needs fleshing out.

• The cabin and the church that Eko started to build in Season 2 are related.
  • Why?
    • Absolutely ridiculous theory. How can Eko start to build something which is already in existence?
      • It was never said that the cabin is the church. Don't call anything a ridiculous theory when its related to a show about a smoke monster.
      • Agreed, this would only work if Eko was building faster than the speed of light.
        • Not saying that the church IS the cabin. Saying that there is a relation between the two that will be revealed.
          • Why? Because they're both made of wood? Kajillion 23:52, 9 May 2008 (PDT)
            • How about discussing the parallels as opposed to just a vague statement? Why is Eko a parallel to Horace? In what was is the Beach Camp similar to the Others Camp at the time that Horace is making the Cabin?

The sand, most theories are extemely farfetched in saying things like "Alternately, it was from the ash/powder moat around Jacob's cabin, embodying the ability to communicate with Jacob/the island" or "The flask contained sal ammoniacus (“salt of Amun”, ammonium chloride) so called because of deposits near the Temple of Jupiter Amun in Ancient Libya. These are resultant near volcanic regions, and the alchemical symbol for this salt was on the tree where Juliet got the vaccine", If required i will post pictures of the sand showing how obvious it clearly is. --Faraday is god 00:52, 10 May 2008 (PDT)

From the theory page:

• The device is absolutely nothing of importance.
  • Then there wouldn't be multiple scenes revolving around it in the episode.

And:

• Did anyone else notice that the sound effect / musical cue played over the shot where we see the orderly is Abbadon, is the same as the one played over the picture kid-Locke drew? Maybe this is a clue that Matthew Abaddon is in some way related to the smoke monster?
  • Does EVERTHING that happens on this show HAVE to be THE SMOKE MONSTER? Get a life. The way contributors to Lostpedia try to connect the Smoke Monster to almost all phenomena presented in the scripts, we may as well just have ONE theory page for the WHOLE site and call it "THE SMOKE MONSTER DID IT." Then I suspect that all the characters in the hospital are "related" to the Smoke Monster, and John's foster family and maybe some people passing on the street when that music played. "Holy fire drill Batman, it's the Smoke Monster." Does it take to much effort to try and think something out for more than 3 seconds and possibly come up with some rational thought that would be supported from the canon of the show?

Please post ONLY theories in the theory page.--Salvora 18:01, 10 May 2008 (PDT)
