THEORY...

Right now I'm working on a grand, yet simple theory. It's incomplete right now, but I can give you a little paragraph.

My theory is in regards to the real-world "6 Degrees" of human separation (that is surprisingly a major element of the plot according to the creators, being that they included it in the DVD set). The theory involves the idea that every group of 6 people are connected to each other, all leading back to one core person. Now, the concept of the number six is of certain significance, including the Numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) and the six major characters in LOST: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Michael, and Hurley, who could very much be the core character tying the others together. And certainly these characters have crossed paths many times. I think that each of the Numbers are associated with each individual person, depending on that person’s own personal connection with each number. The idea that Hurley ties them all together is of particular relevance because, plausibly, Hurley could have been the reason the plane crashed in the first place. Evidence to the fact is that several characters, including Boone and Sawyer, have heard the Whispers mentioning the phrase “It will come back around.” Very interesting…
