I haven't seen the first series at all. Methinks I should borrow it off someone, then hopefully catch up in time to start watching the second series.

I have figured the whole thing out, and unlike certain members of the forum, I didn't need to watch episodes in advance to do it. Now, I just want to point out that my theory, which is brilliant, was developed weeks ago, before the second series began screening. However, lasts week's episode only confirmed my theory.
The theory is concerned primarily with what the island is, as all Lost theories should be, IMO. Is it a fate machine? Is it a government experiment? Is it the afterlife, and the survivors didn't survive at all? Is the island actually a penninsular?
No.
The island is, infact, a meta-fictional device. This is to say that there is no central meaning to the island, or even a set of meanings. Rather, the island is a trope that is essentially wide-open, and coreless, so that any old shit can be invented along the way, in order to propel an increasingly unwieldy and ludicrous plot along. What appear to be inexplicable and unconnected incidents are, infact, inexplicable and unconnected incidents, that cannot be explained by any means other than by my theory. An episode needs to be filled up, so random shit happens.
This theory extends to the flashbacks. These flashbacks are not actually occuring at the time that each episode is set, and are unlikely to relate to events that ever occurred in the lives of the characters. The flashbacks, like the island, are fictional devices that are made to propel action and introduce new strands to the plot by, ironically, creating the illusion of history. I first realised this when I saw the rerun of the last episode of the first season. Isn't it amazing how that teacher who blows himself up is at the airport when the fat guy is running around? No, of course not. He was introduced into the series in the last episode, and they created the illusion of his long occupation of the island by pretending he was on the plane all along, just so he could serve a function in the plot. Same deal with the geezer in the stadium.
I don't mean to say that the writers of Lost are making shit up as they go along, and it's all a bunch of arse. No no, they are much cleverer than this. The whole thing has been an exercise in post-modern television, where meaning is forever displaced. I can't wait for the final episode where the characters look up and realise that they are staring out of a word document.

The whole series takes place inside Chuck Norris's beard

That's pretty deep Maus.
You could tell that teacher was gonna die as soon as he started becoming slightly central. He was a cunt anyway.
I've seen the first 12 of this season and, but for a breached cap, would have seen 13. It's an addiction.

I propose that it was in fact a roundhouse from chuck norris that brought down the plane.
