Am I LOST?
48 survivors fight to stay alive on a tropical island with
a malicious mind of its own, after their plane mysteriously tears apart over it.
When a plane crash leaves 48 survivors on a remote Pacific island,
a fight for survival begins in what appears to be a tropical paradise.
From a faded rock star to a Korean couple who don’t speak any
English, the motley group band together under the leadership of quick-thinking
Jack and pragmatic Kate in a battle against the elements.
But they soon realise that it’s no ordinary island that they’ve
landed on. With oddly temperamental weather, malicious forces that play the
survivors to the island’s own mysterious purposes, and a strange ecology that
allows polar bears to survive in its tropical climate, the island has an
inscrutable mind of its own.
And when members of the motley group start to see spectres of long
dead people and bizarre creatures, a deep, dark terror starts to grow and spread
throughout the community.
Even as the survivors’ shocking secrets start to emerge, they
realise they have no choice but to put aside conflicting views and rally
together – or die.
How did they get lost?
From the Bermuda triangle to a top secret military experiment
to life between heaven and hell - theories and spoilers abound. So what is it
that’s actually happening to the characters in Lost? As the twist and turns of
the plot unfold, fans continue to buzz with questions and theories, and here are
some of the most widely discussed theories:
The Bermuda Triangle.
First
of the four paranormal theories about the series LOST, the Bermuda Triangle has
claimed countless lives for over 100 years -spawning numerous books,
pseudo-documentaries, and tabloid headlines. Many viewers are convinced
something sinister is responsible for the disappearance of Oceanic flight 815,
and a possible flight path over "Devil’s Triangle" may explain the mystery.
Purgatory.
Lost between
heaven and hell, Purgatory is believed to be a transcendental location or vacuum
where "unclean" souls go at the time of death. It has been traditionally viewed
as a place of torment, the purpose of which is to purify the individual. Some
viewers believe that none of the characters survived the plane crash, and what
we see on screen is a form of karmic retribution that is to be suffered by the
unfortunate souls of flight 815.
Conspiracy Theory.
This
broadly popularized LOST theory explains that the passenger airline was not
responsible for the misery of the 48 remaining survivors on the island. Many
theories speculate over a military project including a possible experiment
masterminded by the government - that all 48 people are "captured" guinea pigs
of this top secret project and that the island itself is one huge Jurassic Park
laboratory.
Another X-File.
One of the
more popular LOST theories supports the existence of aliens - from the "others"
inhabiting the island to the mysterious numbers appearing on and off to
misplaced polar bears including the invisible monster that Locke encountered. In
the real world, the alien and UFO phenomenon is so widespread and present in our
modern times and includes such other theories as abduction, unknown races, and
other unexplained phenomenon.
