I've got a theory!

It doesn't involve bunnies. At least not directly.

I've become a Lost fan. It's all ahumblepen's fault. This is my first experience in a twisty complicated backstory fandom, so those of you who've covered this kind of ground already with other fandoms don't get to point and laugh. Too much.

So, I have a theory. Or, well, the beginnings of a theory. It doesn't lead much of anywhere yet, but I have hopes.

Spoilers and a lot of disjointed text beneath the cut.

Ever get the feeling you're putting way more thought into a work of fiction than its actual creative team? Yeah. But it's fun.

And ingenius, you have to admit. Scatter weirdassed clues, sketch in enough connections to make it seem like There's A Plan, work in some mathematics, and watch the fans go apeshit trying to figure out the Deeper Significance of every last little thing. It's like a jigsaw puzzle, but one of those zillion-piece puzzles where they put extra pieces into the box just to be jerks. And no edge pieces.

Also, Sawyer is totally my new TV boyfriend. Absolutely nobody is surprised.
