For me the coolest moment of the show was Ben's descent into the bowels of the island to turn the crank which would move the island's location. Far fuckin out. Once I muster the interest, I'll search out some screenshots of those ancient tablets that were laying around in there.
I think the keys to figuring out what the hell is really going lie in the Widmore theories you guys have been saying, paired with how original knowledge of the island's existence came about. Widmore must have spent time there before, and may have been Ben's predecesor. Very very possible. But how did he know about the island. How did the Dharma initiative find it in the first place?
I'm really beginning to think that (expecially due to the time travel and 'reset' crank, and also the still unexplained giant foot statue on the other coast) that the island may very well be Eden, Atlantis, Mu, or all three, or some other mythological place. Maybe Atlantis was never lost at all. Someone moved it.
We've been pretty much told that the island is absolutely some sort of supernatural thing and mystical 'machine' of sorts. It has an engine apparently and moving parts.
Not that these help unravel information, but it's also interesting to note the resonance the storylines are having with archetypes and mythology. We've just witnessed an exodus of sorts from the island, and now we'll see the return.
Also, what does the word "Lost" really mean now? Who's actaully lost? The main cast members, the island, or those who have left the island? Those who left the promised land?
Damn, what good show! :D
