That's a great theory. I like during the discussions that someone theorizes that The Others are in fact taking the 'good ones' to save them from the 'study'. Cool!

I suppose many people believe their theroy is the ultimate theroy.

If the poster had stopped after the picture of Alvar Hanso and limited the theroy to: Alfvén plus Hans O. equals Alvar Hanso, I would say that is pretty cool theroy, but so what. If Alfren Hannes' first name were actually Alvar, then I would have said there is a good chance the writers blended the two names on purpose.

But the poster goes on to fabricate a hugely significant fact to support his/her following wild conjecture about group consiousness, I quote :

"...the book 'The Great Computer: A vision... outlines the reason for - and a means to control - the island...

Scientists, fearing the cataclysmic events of a polar reversal, prepared an environment for the survival of the human race. They either directly or indirectly engineered the kind of people who would make up a community fit for survival and propagation of a new world. In the main, this means characters without father/mother figures; and/or characters with skills for survival: a doctor, an engineer, a survivalist, a mercenary; and characters of sufficiently varied genetic background: african, caucasian, asian, etc. to ensure a healthy gene pool for generations.

Then on an island which already had a massive natural source of electromagnetism, they constructed an artificial magnetosphere, alluded to in Walt's/Hurley's comic" to repel the deadly cosmic rays that Earth's magnetosphere used to repel. The hope was that the community could thrive, grow and, eventually, repopulate/recover the world."

--this plot outline is a complete fabrication, the plot of said book is about a super powerful computer taking over the world, akin to the Terminatior movies or I, robot. Everything the poster says after the ficticious book summary is predicated upon that fictious book summary.

ps: my Ultimate Theroy is that the writers just make everything up at they go along.

I agree with Ladro that there are holes in this theory, and some of it is not completely clear. BUT, I think a lot of it could make sense.

OTOH, I'm not sure how deeply the writers have thought about the plot. I *hope* that this is the best-planned, most thught-through TV series evah. The reality is, it probabvly is not. So long as it doesn't crash and burn like the X-Files . . .
