Here's a quick recap: Bryon says the ratings dip is due to not revealing enough, and I say it's due to revealing too much. That the ratings are dropping is new info, it's actually the source of some discussion. Again, you seem to be off-page. I said the same thing earlier, so you're preaching to the choir.Your polar bear questions don't seem like they would make for riveting television. I don't want Lost to turn into the Hard Science Channel, and I have to wonder how many other folks do. The polar bears were transported to the island as part of some whacky experiment. Considering it was just a throwaway scene for purely surrealistic effect, how much dissection does it warrant?"Smokey" has been a much bigger part of the show, so it merits some genuine attention. Probably a bunch of microbots that concentrate the island's that achieve mobility by concentrating the island's magnetic field. They can read a person's own magnetic aura and can act as a guardian by reacting to hostile emotions, hence it ignores you if you can blank out your mind. Again, it's pure pseudo-science, but I've been saying you'd be better off just enjoying the ride in blissful ignorance, and perhaps in time you'll realize I was right rather setting up expectations that the show can't deliver on using hard science.</blockquote>
