Unless Ben can pull a disappeared con man out his ass, I say the box is some cool stuff.

Can they think of those that have died on the island and bring them back to life?
Is that how Jack's dad showed up on the island?

well, if Locke's dad is the real sawyer, and they have ways to find out minute details about our loveable losties...perhaps they arranged to bring him to the island in the last 70 days, to someday use as a bartarting chip with either Locke or Sawyer.

i just think a "magic box that can make your dreams come true" is a pretty weak plot-fixer-upper. i'd expect more.

I think the magic box is made up. They are playing John again. Ben said earlier, "Bring me the man from Tallahassee" He is one of the others. It is another con. I believe him, widmore, pak, christian are all involved.

You are assuming this box literally exists, which seems quite presumptuous. It may be a symbolic or metaphoric way to describe something else. It may just be a flat out lie. |

i wasn't assuming there was a literal "box"...but thanks for that.
i guess, though...
something needs to explain Yemi...Kate's horse, Dave, etc....
is all of this taking place on the holodeck?

I think you are really looking to far out there on this. It is going to be much more straightforward than "magic"

Do you think this concept will lose people if it is not adequately explained?

Kinda would help along the whole 'Christian faked his death' thing a bit, wouldn't it? |

i don't think there is a real physical box. i think it is just an expression ben made. (like the 2 mice on wheels powering the joint) i don't quite understand it, but i don't think there is a real box. maybe it's a plane? or a boat? or another form of transportation that they call "the box." or maybe that's what they are calling the "room" cooper was in.

As disappointed as I've been in this show, I need to say that I definitely don't think the magic box was a plot fixer-upper. I think the writers have been planning this for a very long time.
Back towards the beginning of season 2, they told us that the book "The Third Policeman" was very important to the story of LOST. The idea of a box that will give you whatever you desire is practically copy-pasted from "The Third Policeman."
