The Island in Lost

[Shotokan-kez]

I know there was a thread about lost sometime ago but i thought i would start this one cos i am confused lol Lost was taken off our screens a while back and put on sky which i didnt have. Anyway some kind person has lent me series 3.

I am still confused about the island. What is it with that black smoke that killed Mr Ecko? Is the Island haunted and is that why the survivors on the island keep seeing strange and scary images? Do the 'others' know about it or causing it somehow? Oh and whats with the Polar bears??? hehe so many questions. I was thinking the more i watched it the more i could grasp it but i still can't! Even though i am very hooked.

Oh and i can't believe that woman Juliet making Jack believe she was with them but really she plotted with Ben before he tied her to Kate and dumped them in the jungle. And it seems they all know each other but without knowing it...I mean Jack and Claire don't realise they have the same dad! It's madness it is. lol
