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.

"Cabin fever"

What is it

• Cabin fever is just that: the claustraphobic feeling associated with staying in the same, small, contained place (like a boat) for too long
• The "cabin fever" is time distortion. People commit suicide because they know they will eventually die like Minkowski.
  • This would cause severe brain damage and could explain why Regina was reading the book unside down.
• Is caused by time travelers messing with events in the victim's past as a form of attrition.
• "Cabin fever" is an intentional pun by the captain--referring to Jacob's cabin.
• "Cabin fever" is "the sickness"; experienced by members of Rousseau's expedition.
  • Could have to do with coming to the island by sea, if both Rousseau's team and the freighter people are getting it.
• Don't trust the captain: It has nothing to do with the island. The entire crew have been out at sea for (presumably) months on a small boat, they're starting to lose it.
• Michael has sabotaged the freighter per Ben's instructions in order to keep it within a close proximity to the island, since Ben knew this would start killing the people on the boat.

Regina's suicide

• She was despondent over the death of Naomi. They had a bond. She was the R.G. on Naomi's bracelet.
• Regina's suicide is Ben's fault. Ben has the ability to communicate with others mentally. In support for this theory there is the fact that Ben passed Juliet a message through Harper when he was being held prisoner by Locke and was not in touch with his people. He was able to do this because he has the ability to communicate with others mentally, for he was not in touch with The Others any longer. Ben made Regina commit suicide by controlling her mentally, because Regina was easy to control in this way, and because Ben wants to prevent the Freighter from getting to the island. Thus, Captain Gault decides to "move to safer waters," because he cannot afford to lose any more people, and Ben achieves his goal temporarily in this way.

Blood on the wall

• It's Brandon's, for he is the only one we've known to die from the time distortion sickness but have not seen.
  • It's the blood of somebody who committed suicide just like Regina.
    • The blood splatter looks like a splatter from a gun shot to the head, perhaps Brandon shot himself or Captain Gault shot a disobeying crew member. It is no secret that uses extremist ways of getting to his goal.
• Michael was supposed to clean up the blood, but did not so that Sayid and Desmond would see it.
• The blood was left there on purpose, to deliberately discomfort Sayid and Desmond, almost as a threat.
• The tapping heard while Sayid and Desmond were in the sickbay was the occupant of their future room with the nasty bloodstain. I believe he may have banged his head on the wall till he died.
  • The direction of the blood spray (upward cone) as well as the concentration of spatter (dense at the bottom where cone peaks) and the upward angle it sprays at suggests that someone placed a gun in the person's mouth (whether it be suicidal or homicidal) and pulled the trigger.

What's Widmore's interest in the island?

• Charles Widmore's interest in the island may include financial profit, but there is more to it: He is investing a lot of resources in finding the island and Ben, and he seems to have some sort of vendetta against Ben.
  • His interest in the island is not financial. Given that he spent £380,000 on a journal that may only give him small hints of the island's whereabouts, finding the island seems to be a much greater issue to him than money.
    • His real interest is finding Ben, and he knows Ben is on the island, but cannot find/reach it. The purchase of the journal is a simple guess that the Black Rock may have become a victim of the island's properties, as a stretch that it may lead to Ben's location.
    • The £380,000 to buy the Black Rock journal was a mere investment. Widmore assumes he will make millions once he is able to exploit the island.
  • Charles has some connection to the DHARMA Initiative and is seeking revenge on Ben.

Hurley

• In the flash-forward, Hurley asks Sun "Is anyone else coming?" When she replies "No", Hurley says that this is "Good" because this is an early sign of Hurley going crazy. He is glad that nobody else came because he's not always sure about who's real and who isn't.
  • It is more likely that he is glad he won't have to deal with people he lost trust in. Hurley is the member of the six that is more disturbed with the lies they are putting up.
    • Hurley has never liked lying. He's more of the gentle, truthful types.
• He is trying to make Sun feel better since she is obviously saddened as soon as he asks if anyone else is coming and she must reply no. Hurley has always been caring and in-tune with other people's feelings, so he is trying to lighten up the mood, and make Sun believe he is really excited to be able to spend time with just her.
• He is excited that nobody else is coming because he has developed feelings for Sun and wants to be the one who is by her side through this.

Sun

• There is a six-week discrepancy between a conception date of 9/22 (the last possible day Jin could have been the father before dying, as the tombstone and Oceanic Six say) and a conception date of 10/26, which is when Juliet told Sun she had conceived (in "D.O.C.") or even 11/4, which is the date Jin and Sun reconciled (in "Exodus, Part 2"). So Sun would have to have a story for the world when she is rescued, in terms of when she conceived and when she is due, because there is a big difference between delivering in mid-June (if she conceived with Jin before he "died") and delivering at the end of July (her probable true due date), bigger than the variation in normal pregnancies. This is accounted for by the time difference between the island and the world.
  • Sun has no reason to explain to anyone the D.O.C. In any case she appears to have gone into labour prematurely.
  • Perhaps it was the discrepancy between the conception date and Jin's date of death that made Abaddon's group realize the Oceanic Six story was a lie, which is why he later confronts Hurley in "The Beginning of the End".
• Juliet lied to Sun about the conception date.
  • She said, "I think something is wrong," and the doctor said, "Your baby is in distress." Perhaps the pills, or the "time shifts" from getting off the island caused the complications.
• Sun was packing a bag to go to a private hospital so that nobody would notice the wrong length of time for giving birth.
• It is shown that a different doctor, unknown to Sun, delivered the baby. Perhaps someone related to the Dharma/Widmore/Others group.
  • Definately, Dr. Paik was replaced last minute by Dharma/Widmore/Others in order to save Ji Yeon, who would have died otherwise.
