OK. After about 2 months and almost 90 episodes later, I am totally caught up with LOST. So if anyone wants to discuss the show I can do it now without fear of learning stuff through spoilers.
Ok, so WTF is going on? Any theories?
Spoiler
:::SPOILER ROOM:::
I had a theory, but the fourth season really warped it and the power is really with the viewer. I wonder if Lindelof and Abrams are even going to fully explain all of it. If Number "Patrick McGoohan" Six is on the Island and the white bubble follows everyone, I really haven't got a friggen clue anymore. Is the show religious, is it bound to science, or both?
Some moments of the show have been disturbing. For me the most uncomfortable moment was when Jack was somewhere on the beach (real world in the future setting?) and the folks around him started disliking him because of the tattoos, which scared them. Parts of the show have even moments of psychological horror, which is one of the reasons why I watch it. And Hurley back at the mental institution in the real world? Who was in the wooden coffin and no-one but Jack came to visit? Spooky and depressing.

The show definitely seems to play fast and loose with science. But this may be explained at some point.

And yeah, I still don't fully get Jack's tattoos thing. And when characters interact with dead people or see things that can't be real is another stretcher on reality. At first I thought it was some island based psychosis but now it happens back in the real world.
It seems Ben Linus and Penny's dad have some history with each other and the island. Ben also believed he was playing a type of game or at least structured warfare with Charles Widmore hence his surprise when Widmore's mercenaries killed Alex. Who may or may not have been Ben's biological child. I initially thought no but then when Ben breaks into Chrales' penthouse and threatens Penny it sort of seems otherwise. But then Ben tends to be a master manipulator which we saw in the recent episode where he gets Sayid to join in his killing of Ben's enemies.
And who was in the pine box? There are supposed to be six survivors of the Oceanic flight. We know that includes Hurley, Jack, Kate, Sun and Sayid. Aaron may or may not count. And is Jin really dead? The person in the coffin may be one of the six or at least someone known to Kate and Jack.
And Nope, if you have your member preferences set for html editing there is a spolier button which will hide the selected text with a spolier button.

I tried to wrap up the damage. First I just couldn't figure out where the heck that button is because it actually is that grey spoiled button over there.
Anyway, the latest episode with Benjamin Linus literally going in KGB mode and crying for his daughter was a very interesting spice which makes him more of a focus point for the show rather than Jack or Locke taking the spotlight. He's not totally evil. He takes extreme measures and makes quick decisions, but in comparison Jack and Locke aren't that much better. They're made decisions over the course which have been as selfish as Sawyer's.
The part where Jack was almost jumping off the bridge was just depressing. I thought the whole idea of Hurley back in the assylum and Jack feeling suicidial was just unsettling in David Lynch sort of way.
That rattlesnake black fog is like Predator's pet snake following around. Interesting sound effects. With 5.1 system that probably tingles the spine and mind.

Unfortunately, it seems that there can only be one spoiler tag in a post. At least for me in the two browsers I have tried, the first spoiler tag works and the subsequent ones do not. So you have to delete any quoted spoiler stuff if you plan to use the spoiler thingy in your response.

Ben Linus also believes he is a good guy or at least has stated that. And he seems hellbent on keeping others away from the island. With Jack on the bridge and Hurley in the asylum, I think the producers wanted to hammer home the idea that the island may have been the best thing to happen to those characters.
Another interesting thing about the Others is how they compile lists of the crash survivors and then gather info and pass judgement.

I'm so spoiled with this stuff.
Ben is at the moment still a total mystery to me. That little smile he has after he gets Sayid to work for him is slightly devious, but on the other hand I still say he has some good in him. As far as him being revealed the main bad guy at the very end is still a mystery. The actor choice is just dead on. Michael Emerson should win an award for that role. He's the most fascinating fictional bad guy since Joe Pesci's volatile Tommy DeSisome from Goodfellas. He's got the physical appearance of a maniac genius who'd probably look good on a trench coat in WW2 movie. If there's a Himmler movie on its way, that's the guy to play him.
