1) The monster has appeared as a black smoke that can _float_ and _move quickly_

2) It was stated in a conversation between Jack (and Kate?) that no one should have survived the crash.

3) The plane broke up at altitude, yet managed to "land" relatively in tact. Heck, the engines were still running.

4) The Black Rock was found impossibly far from shore.

5) Metal hatch, metal ladder, and big, thick cable all part of the island.

6) Monster sounds can all be mechanical noices, from the screach to the clanking to the horn blowing.

7) So far we have a ship, small plane, and airliner and at least three groups of survivors.

8) When the monster is "attacking" we see the trees disappear. Nothing is dropping out of the sky and we have seen a deep, deep hole (listen to the dynamite explosion) that Locke almost got pulled into and the monster rushing out of.

9) We have a hatch going down a deep, deep hole.


My Conclusions:

1) The monster is a swarm of small black things/insects/little machines.

2) The machine sounds could be the monster itself or some support system (like a metal door opening, electical generator, etc.).

3) There is a vast underground complex where we have cool/sinister machines run by Dr. No/AI/noone. We know something's down there - the light from the hatch window.

4) For diabolical reason X, the monster can pull a plane out of the air and grab a ship and move it inland. The monster takes care to keep as many people alive as possible. A airliner may have been too big and fragile to pull down in one piece.

5) (This is a stretch) The only person the monster killed was the pilot. He would have know what was happening to the plane as it was coming down. No Witnesses.

6) The monster attacks/pulls in/no escape any vehicle that comes close to the island.

7) Locke's work on the hatch alerted the people/entity below ground of the hatch's discover, so the ladder was removed to prevent access.


Chew on that.

I just read on Ain't It Cool News, http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=21292 Spoiler Review of Ep 201 and there some of the things you guessed are dead on. Looks like there's people and power down below.

Kudos!

I keep thinking that the pilot and maybe some of the crew are part of the Others. They are moving back and forth from the island to the rest of the world and their mission is to get people to the island for some reason.


Look at me I got a Sweet Summer Syren Siggie!

"WONDERFUL!!!"

I can see you do your homework, Winter! Great work!

I hope you become a regular here!

Welcome to the boards, Winter and Hurlee!

I just finished watching all 23 episodes of Season I on DVD (I didn't see the show on TV). I found the show to be very entertaining. but...,

The subject of your post implies that all the 'clues' can be pieced together to arrive at some logical conclusions about what single source the big mysteries of the island originate from. I don't think so.

This show reminds me of The X-Files and Twin Peaks. The good writing and cinamatography, the complex interactions between characters and the interwoven subplots lead one to the conclusion that the show is hiding some overaching master plan. But, no such plan exists.

Just like in the X-files and TwinPeaks, I think it will become increasingly obvious that a lot of the 'Lost' storylines will deadend or dissolve without future mention. The Ethan storyline has already disappeared never to be heard from again. I fully expect the 'hatch' storyline to dissolve after a few weeks (the hatch will probably be buried under 100 tons of dirt and wood in a monson).

Having said that, if I had to pick one storyline that would explain everthing it would be Walt's supernatural ability to create a physical manifistation of everything he reads.

FWIW, your description of a swarm of small black things is similar to the plot of Michael Chriction's 'prey' where a lab creates a swarm of flying nanorobots that escape and terrorize a series of people.

... and the creators have already said that it is not a Prey-like swarm of nanorobots.

It won't be worth it.
