Season Four Predictions/Speculation

[Jye]

Anyone else as excited for Season Four as I am? What do you think will happen, or what would you like to see happen?

Discuss here.

I CANNOT wait. I hope they fast-track it like they're doing with all the other shows at the moment. I don't know what will happen or what I'd like to happen, I just go with the flow. I am proud of my Monster theory, though:

I don't know what the Monster is, nor do I know how or why it does what it does, but I think it is capable of recording all of a person's memories and then interpreting and projecting them back to the person in question, to 'test' them. It operates on a three-meeting basis:

First meeting = records their memories
Second meeting = assesses wether they deserve to live
Third meeting = kills them (if it decided that they don't deserve to live).

Examples:
Eko - Saw the monster and it recorded his memories, as shown by the flashes as the camera panned through the smoke. It then presented itself to him as Yemi and decided wether he deserved to live or not. Apparently deciding the negative, it then tracked him down and killed him.
Kate - Must have met her originally at some point to record her memories. Appeared in the form of the horse that helped her escape Edward Mars and must have decided to spare her.
Ben - Appeared to him as a child and recorded his memories. Manifested as his mother and appeared to him but it is unclear what it decided as it could not get past the sonar fence.
Locke - Met him early in season 1 and either recorded his memories then or manifested as something from his past. Late season 1 tried to kill him but failed. Hasn't been back for him, so perhaps it changed its mind?
Shannon - Must have pre-recorded because it appeared as Walt. Did not personally kill her but perhaps contributed by projecting the Whispers to Ana-Lucia.

The Monster has also recorded memories from Juliet, but we have yet to see anything come of it.

Hey good monster theory.

I always had the idea that the whole show was based around Redemption. When they redeem themselves of something from their pasts, they die.

I also have the theory that Vincent is a "bad luck charm". In the first episode, Vincent came up to Jack then ran off. Shortly after, Jack found the crash. Vincent is Walt's dog, and he got kidnapped, Shannon started looking after Vincent and got shot looking for him. Boone fell asleep guarding the camp, and was woken by Vincent, and someone had been killed. When Jack, Kate and Charlie went looking for the transceiver, Vincent was watching them through bushes. Shortly after that, it started raining and they were attacked by the monster. A lot more has happened with Vincent too.

That's an awesome theory.
