A Really Good Lost Theory
This is best smoke monster explanation I’ve read in a long while. The problem is, I don’t think the Lost writers are that smart. They could be, but I’m going to have to go with “no”. There’s also the theory on “Vile Vortices” over at Wikipedia which is neat. There is another theory floating around lately, which is the “Hollow Earth” theory. I would elaborate on it further and simultaneously call bullshit, but there’s enough on the Lost blogasphere to dismantle it without my help.
And for a fun mind-numbing read, I give you this thread. People don’t get it. The rat DIED. I’m pretty sure it takes a good while to teach a rat a maze so it doesn’t miss a turn going through it. More than 75 minutes to be certain. But the kicker is this, Daniel would have had to of known that the rat was going to die before 75 minutes (the rat was clearly expired when Desmond saw it in the cage) before sending it to the future. And what would have happened if Daniel sent the rat into it’s future after it had died? And I’m not buying the bullshit that since Daniel was intending to teach the rat the maze, it learned it without being taught it. ::head’plodes::
