Lost Update - Only The Strong Survive

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 12/10/2004

I see you sittin' there all alone
Crying your eyes out
While everything's going wrong
You know there's gonna be
A whole lot of trouble in your life
Listen to me, get up off your knees

Before I begin, let the Grassy Knoll Institute offer other explanations as to what the ABC's television series Lost is really about. Of course, my theory is that aliens have abducted the plane, making it look like a crash, and now have them in a vast virtual reality laboratory studying all aspects of human behavior.

Several other theories have been kicked around the Grassy Knoll Institute think tank as well.

One alternative is that the survivors are really playing an ultimate reality show and are unaware they are participants. Its really bad when you are selected to be banished from the island.

Another has the survivors not really survivors, but in Purgatory, a sort of weigh station to either heaven or hell. When the person on the island dies, in essence, his/her soul goes to heaven or hell and are released from the island.

Another is that they are lost in the Bermuda Triangle. or have somehow crash landed on the lost city of Atlantis. Or have been sent back in time somehow. Or have broken the dimensional planes of existence and are living in the fourth dimension. Or that it is an updated episode of the Twilight Zone. All good and sound, but yet they don't hold up to scrutiny such as my theory.

So, back to my theory. Claire, the pregnant Australian woman and rock star Charlie are captured by Ethan, the man that is not on the passenger log list. A search party is put together and Lock, the bald knife guy, sets out tracking the trail. After a long search and an encounter with the mystery man, Charlie, the rock star is found strung up and hanged. He is cut down and the doctor performs CPR but to no avail. Not giving up, the doctor finally gets Charlie to breathe. They head back to camp and Charlie has no recollection of the events that took place.

Meanwhile, Lock, the knife guy, finds a metal hull of some sort buried beneath the dirt and brush on the side of the mountain. He intends to find out what's inside......

In this episode, the aliens study the herd and how they react when one is separated. Claire is gone from the group. Is a search party put together, or do they stay huddled together. Also studied is the effect when one of them dies. Charlie is found hung and dead. Jack never gives up and finally gets Charlie to breathe.

And, is the metal hull the protective barrier of the aliens observatory. Perhaps it will get very interesting very quickly.
SIDENOTE: The Institute does not believe it is the aliens headquarters but just another piece to the puzzle of the island of Lost.

Stay tuned for the next update.
