Think about it. A huge cast of characters with a large number of secrets, stranded on an island. Gradually, this is revealed to be a set-up for a complex MythArc. It's amazing that the show drew such a huge audience. The assumption was probably that they'd draw a small but devoted fanbase and then cancel after half a season with an amazing set-up but nothing explained - like ''Series/DayBreak'' or ''Series/{{Journeyman}}''. The fans would then buy loads of UsefulNotes/{{DVD}}s and merchandise in an effort to bring the show back, while spouting theories, and the producers would swim in their money. When the show caught on, they were totally unprepared and have had to wing-it ever since. It was SpringtimeForHitler, TV exec style.

[[WMG: Tom Friendly was part of the DHARMA Initiative.]]

Tom knew how long it took for the polar bears to solve the fish biscuit puzzle on Hydra Island. That's because he was stationed there. He had a low-level job at Hydra, probably shoveling the polar bear feces. Some time before the purge, Ben recruited him to join the Others.

They Fight Crime is no longer a trope


Lapidus made it to Guam, but brought Miles and Richard along with him. Miles used his diamonds to buy a building that they converted into a detective agency. Richard is the face, Miles is the brains, and Lapidus is the muscle. Together TheyFightCrime! Hurley and Ben show up from time to time to act as magical [[Series/StarskyAndHutch Huggy Bears]].

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


Maybe she wanted a way to destroy all of the other people Out There who were bad for the Island and for her sons. She could kill an entire settlement and fill in a well while the Man in Black was briefly away, perhaps she could use her knowledge from being the Source's Guardian and the power that killed the settlers to fix the wheel. Perhaps she wanted a way out to KillEmAll once her son took over her duty of guarding the Heart, but couldn't let herself leave until someone was guarding the Heart for her and Jacob's brother was safely stuck on the island.

And [[Literature/PeterPan Neverland]]. And Skull Island. And the Island of Doctor Moreau. And the Island from ''Series/{{The Prisoner|1967}}''. And Nomanisan from ''The Incredibles'', with the monster being another Omnidroid prototype. And Avalon from [[Main/KingArthur Arthurian mythology]]. Seriously, how many uncharted islands can there ''be'' on Earth?

* He did drive a flaming van into a house containing a woman and her newborn baby moments before this. This is hardly normal child behaviour to say the least. He put innocent lives into danger for no reason other than to cause a diversion. Not to mention that he also used other deceitful tactics to help Sayid escape. Seems like those traits were already present to me.

The Smoke Monster is weak against Sonic things so an army of bats using supersonic should kill or at least make him hit himself in confusion. Alternatively SonicTheHedgehog will kill the Smoke Monster.
