General - The 'Lost' thread. - View Post

I was reading around the Lostpedia (awesome site by the way) and came across a really interesting theory.

If you've been following the series, then you know about the course correction theory: the idea that the universe has a way of fixing its' course. So if Dexter saves Charlie from death, the universe will think of some way to kill Charlie the next day.

If you apply that theory to the show itself you get something awesome. Lost is supposed to be a mystery and you're not supposed to know what's going on until it's finally revealed to you. If you apply Course Correction to this, that means that every time the fans figure out a mystery the writers then change the show to disprove that mystery and keep the show a mystery.
