I actually arrived at the theory below after I saw Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest, the trailer to Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain and remembed the lyrics to Redemption Song by Bob Marley (Sawyer sung it in the Exodus episode of season 1, lyrics also below).
————————————————————————————————————————————
In the 1800’s Alvar Hanso captained a slave ship that got stranded on The Island. On The Island lived a strange being – a being of unimaginable power. It feasted on living things and developed a particular taste for humans after sampling the slaves on Hanso’s ship, The Black Rock. Hanso promised to give the being a steady supply of humans in exchange for the special gifts it could provide – probably healing, long life, even immortality. The Hanso Foundation’s supposed focus on Wellness and Longevity of Life, could all be just a cover-up so people wouldn’t find it strange that Alvar Hanso is still alive despite his age.
Hanso also discovered a way to keep the being trapped on the Island – the whole DHARMA Initiative, with the system of punching in the numbers on the computer every 108 minutes, is just a way to keep the being on the Island. The Initiative is also in charge of delivering a fresh stock of humans to The Island from time to time to feed that animal.
Everyone on Flight 815 was pre-chosen as the being’s next meal, hence all the strange little coincidences and crossovers in their past lives. As powerful as the being might be, it still has its weaknesses though – those with psychic powers. Those suspected to have psychic powers, like Walt, are abducted, leaving the other survivors defenseless.
Maybe a flashback is how the show is conveying how the being is determining how the human will taste like – the nastier the past, the tastier the flavor. It is a predator so it plays with them first, much like a tiger or a cheetah might just hide behind bushes and grass, observing and stalking its prey before finally devouring them.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Redemption Song
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfill de book.

I was doing a good job of providing weekly updates while the series wrapped up during May sweeps:

I gave up though (not on the game, but the blogging) b/c Lostpedia and The Lost Experience (plus ABC’s Inside the Experience) were such great resources.

So far these posts are just hints on where to input information, and where to find it. But what is the information? What does Persephone say here or there? I’m not feeling very caught up here people. And props to Mr. Brown for this post because I’m also quite lazy (though I call it busy).
