Inside Lost

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly brings us some serious insider information. Couldn't wait to post it here. Although quoted from the magazine, I took the liberty to edit it down a bit.

"There is a key inside the US marshal's wallet. The key opens a briefcase. The contents of that case are important and involves a startling betrayal."

"Locke makes a huge discovery. Someone will build a raft to try to escape. We'll meet other folks on the island who weren't on the plane,, and learn two secrets about Hurley. The Bermuda Triangle continues to overlap with the Jack-Kate-Sawyer Triangle."

"The flashbacks serve as a great conduit to learn more about these characters, but that's not all they're there for. The idea that these people – way before they got on this airplane – have interacted with each other either directly or through third parties is one of the cool pieces of tapestry of the show."

One theme I have recently picked up on is the fact that most of the characters have been involved with death. Sayid killing the guards, Korean guy killing someone, Jack's dad dying, Sawyer's parents, etc. I am beginning to wonder if that is the common thread that brings all these people together. I have read a theory that the island on Lost is really purgatory. Could that be true?
