HORSEY HERE TO SAVE THE DAY! 
**superman pants on head**

They are gonna start shooting S4 of Lost in a few weeks time. So, lets take a look at the spoilers so far, and see if anyone can come up with any answers/theories/speculation about what they can mean, yeah? Give us somat to do eh?
Ok, the main spoilers (as decided by me, coz I am the only one here

)
----------------------------------------------
1) Ben was not the only member of DHARMA who joined the others
So, who else?? My money is on Patchy - but why? Presumably he wasnt at Othersville when "The Purge" happened - but then, neither was Kelvin, he remained in the hatch, but no one went and killed him. Wonder how much Kelvin knew??
another spoiler says we are gonna get to meet more 'Other' others in S4
I think that these will be ex-dharma peeps that we meet at the Temple...including ben's young girlfriend perhaps! So as well as them i agree patchy looks VERY dharma like and follows orders to the T. 2) What happened to Annie is another chapter of Ben's story that will be seen at some point.
I wonder if she and Ben did, erm, eugh, get together and she was one of the first to die in childbirth?? Maybe thats why Ben is so obsessed with this issue, when Richard appears to think there is something so much more important on the agenda.
Ewwww indeed! Great theorising Smokey
...yep if she is dead then that would be a real reason and a good lead into how 'they' discovered the pregnancy problems. Either that or the BSM killed her?3) Danielle Rousseau may pop up in another character's flashback.
ooh ooh ooh, that is gonna be great!!! I wonder if its gonna be Sayid, he seems the closest to her? Wasnt he in France during his last flashback
OH OH OH again, great thinking smokster. I would also like her flashback to be the one where they took her daughter. if indeed this is the case?
We also know from another spoiler that she has her own one that involves her killing her crew!!!!4) There will be a Rousseau flashback eventually. In it, it will talk about Montand and his arm.
There seems an obsession with arms!! MOntand and Candle lost theirs, Juliet and Jack dislocated theirs. Vincent carried Roger's to Hurley.... dunno what I am saying here!!
he he heeee arms and eyes5) Claire's psychic and his visions for Claire and her baby's future will be revisited.
Yawn. We need a yawning smilie! Na, seriously, Claire needs somat to make her character more interesting, hopefully this will be it!
I am hoping that the psychic will add more evidence to the Loop theory with this being a flashback.flahforward type episode6) We will see more of Michael and Walt
So, dya reckon they will be in the "real world" and helping a rescue team, or have never really left the island at all?
I think this will be in the 'real' world and we will find them floating about near to the 'rescue' ship in some distress with no water and no food. i think Walt will get in touch by telepathy or his powers to warn the Losties that the boat is hostile perhaps???7) The AICN stuff about flash-forwards and flash-backs is true. It will be roughly split in half,the flash-forwards will tell a story culminating with how we saw season 3 end. That doesn't necessarily mean just Jack and Kate get off the island, but whatever flash-forwards we see will culminate with Jack deciding they have to go back and trying to convince Kate.
Who else dya reckon gets off of the island. I reckon.....Sawyer, Jin & Sun at least...
I am not sure why they would want to set a whole series centering just on Kate and Jack flashforwards? There was another spoiler that said they are ALL having them? could be a foiler? Anyhoo, this is a question again on who survices to the end isn't it. And as i said before my mioneys on Locke and Hurley BUT that does not mean they get off the island or in fact that ANY of them do including jack and Kate. Horsey has gone Loopy again...never ending story...8) Rousseau isn't telling the truth about her experience on the island
This would suggest she IS telling the truth about how she got there, but is more closely connected to either the others or some other others whom we have yet to meet. Hmmmm So her apparant willingness to be on the Losties side must have an alterior motive....
I have always thought she lies... 
9)You won't be able to tell right away that what arrives in the ship is bad news, but it absolutely is
Oooh, so they are gonna play along with being a rescue ship, but the second Dessie gets hold of them, surely the game will be up? I dunno, maybe the losties wont care who they are if they can get them off of the island..
Could be a new lot of Dharma guys coming to see what happened to all their guys long ago and an island WAR developing...WHOS SIDE DO THE LOSTIES CHOOSE??? 
10)Jacob has already been cast...that person is a person who already worked on Lost, but you have never heard that person's voice and I don't think you ever will. I don't know that you're ever going to see that person clearly."
So we will never hear or see him!! Brilliant role, talk about money for nothing!!! But he has already worked on Lost!! Grrrr, this is the most annoying spoiler of all
But very clever. It just re-iterates that the writers have always known where they were going and have indeed cast a member very close to their best kept 'expensive' secrets.11) The days of the Others as a culture is numbered. But Ben's days aren't because he is a great one for making adjustments. He knows enough things and has access to enough information which will help him keep his head above water.
So, the others are buggered. Are they gonna have to rely on the Losties now to help them out? Doesnt seem likely, unless they can convince Jack et al that the people on the ship are a worst fate than them! Glad Ben is gonna hang around, the others wouldnt be the same without him
like i said i think they are gong to have to choose sides...Anyone got any other thoughts???
