Theories about The Lie

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Ben's Object

• The wrapped article that Ben is seen taking out of a vent space is:
  • The Black Rock ledger, which he has stolen from Charles Widmore.
  • The Book of Laws that Richard Alpert showed Locke.

"Bloop!"

• Hurley's use of the phrase "Bloop!" to discribe the disapearance of the island may be a reference to the underwater phenomenon recorded in 1997 and referred to as The Bloop.

Acknowledging the Numbers

• When Ben gets his ticket at Jill's shop and it reads, 342, the look on his face and the fact that he just stares at the number for a good 5/6 seconds gives me the impression that he's thinking "oh, of course. i see what's going on." Like he recognizes that there's just that connectivity between things that have to do with the island and The Numbers.
