Jack: So, you found another hatch?
Kate: Yep.
Jack: Where is it?
Kate: Over that way somewhere.
Jack: Cool. Anything useful there?
Kate: Not really. It's pretty trashed.
Jack: Well... Thanks for filling me in. Why don't you go tell Sun about it.

The serum is produced by children's bodies/brains after subjecting them to some kind of drug treatment and then removed by the Others. Some children (i.e. Walt) produce purer or more powerful versions than others, due to genetics or whatever. The 'antidote' that the Others have to take is something that neutralizes some negative effect of the serum. I don't think there's been anything that would be at odds with that explanation.

I did the same thing to my wife. Said hey it's Mr. F. Of course she was like, WTF?

I'd also stretch my theory to cover the numbers' significance by saying originally they were just numbers that appeared on the vaccine/medicine necessary to counteract the serum's effects. At some point, the Dharma people left on the island made them the password to reset the countdown. Assuming the Dharma people on the island had attained some sort of ESP-like abilities, the importance they placed on the numbers began to subconsciously mainfest itself in subtle ways in other areas of the world. Granted, there's no real evidence to back up my theory, but I've just been trying to come up with something that would explain everything we've seen that would abide by the rules set up within the show.

Definitely spoiler material, if you believe the info from the link.

I like your theory, Max. Makes sense to me. ESP seems pretty likley since the black cloud appeared to probe Eko's mind a few episodes back.
I imagine that the unusual properties of the island caused the Dharma experiments run amok on the island. The Other's are the remaining scientists trying to maintain some sense of control.

Man, I am SOOO glad that Mr. Friendly was a costume. I kept telling my wife how disappointed I was about how fake he looked with that beard and makeup. I kept saying "why would they make him look so fake!?" I was pumped to see he indeed was in costume!!

Too bad they use the same costumes for all the flashback stories.

OK, here's my wild theory:
*IF* we assume that Claire's flashbacks were actually how things happened (and not a mixture of how things happened and her "assumptions" or combining the events) thenI have to assume that the Dharma people intentionally crashed the plane on the island.
How else would they have the Oceanic toy planes on the mobile?
My theory is that the Dharma people want to try to make a new Utopian society. First they forced (don't ask me how) Danielle's crew to come to the island. Then flight 815, then Henry Gale (if he's in fact not one of them).
This is all a big expiriment to the Dharma folks. They needed more "subjects" so they forced the flight down (perhaps with a huge magnet or something).
Maybe they are testing out disease cures and wanted Aaron for that? Maybe they didn't expect that many people to survive the crash so they had to scare them as the 'others' to stay away.
These are just my rambling thoughts. I swear they sound better in my head

Yes, I predict that the upcoming episode "Lockdown" is going to center around Locke's growing antipathy toward Jack and hopefully the flashbacks will finally tell us how he ended up in that wheelchair in the first plae.

Though riddled with sarcasm, the article was kind of believable (to some of us simple minded folks).

Here are some screenshots of the next new episode (these are different from those shown in the preview after the last episode)...obviously spoilerish in nature, though nothing at all startling. http://www.lost-media.com/modules.ph...ails&album=998
The main thing that I thought I noticed is the episode title - I thought it used to be
