Hallucination

“It’s All in Someone’s Mind”


In essence: A variation on the purgatory theory, with everything happening in the mind of one of the castaways. Or perhaps some sort of virtual group therapy in which in the real world they are all plugged into some kind of matrix. ''That theory is absolutely correct,'' Lindelof joked to EW, ''and the character is JJ Abrams.''

Support for this theory: Polar bears, black smoke monsters, people who aren't there and horses that appear out of nowhere would sure make a lot more sense if they're all in the mind of one person.

Poking holes: Again, it would rob the actors and the viewers of any real emotional payoff. Lindelof clarified in an e-mail interview at Lost-TVforum.com, "This is not a fictional reality that is playing out in someone's brain. To this I say, "Yes. I saw Identity, too. And I did not like it."

This theory received a shout-out, too, in an episode devoted to the premise. This episode PROVES that the whole thing isn't taking place in some one's head. The producers came right out and said that they put this episode in the disprove this theory.





What do you think? Have more support for this theory, or are you ready to poke another hole in it?

I hope it isn't. That's basically the equivalent of saying that they woke up and it was all a dream. It's not really a plot; it's more like "Sorry we couldn't think of any way to work this out."

I'm such a fan of Lost....I just hope that it's NOT in any particluar character's mind. I want it to be real. And what's the deal with Jack and Kate? Did they know each other before or was this a preview into the future?
