    I thought tonight's episode hinted very strongly that the island is some kind of hell or purgatory. The key moment was when the fat kid (Hurley) was talking to Michael and Michael described himself and the other voices, as being stuck on the island because of what they did before they died.

    I know this theory has been raised and swatted down a couple times, but to me it makes the most sense. After all the characters on the show were in a plane crash at the beginning of the series. Isn't it possible that, kind of what you would expect when crashing in a plane, they all died and the entire show has been about them trying to finish what they need to do to get right by God and/or the Devil before finally leaving the world? The same way Richard was in a boat crash where he died before appearing on the island along with the boat he arrived in.
