I apologize up front if this theory has already been submitted.
I have been, like others, curious about what the producers said regarding potential clues in the Pilot episode. Many others have submitted theories about Jack in jungle, possible baton near Jack,backgammon games, etc. After watching the pilot again after Season 4 finale, the clue seems obvious and involves the whereabouts of key charaters right after the crash.
Where was Jack? Jack woke up away from the crash and had to run to the beach to get to the crash site.
Where was Kate? Kate walked out of the jungle and met Jack nursing his wound.
Where was Hurley? Hurley wasn't seen running around the crash site. He sort of appeared to Jack when Jack was attending to Claire -- looking like he too just arrived at the site. He was traveling alone, so there was no other survivors calling out his name.
Where was Sayid? He wasn't seen until later that evening lighting a signal fire. He also was traveling alone, so there was no other survivors calling out his name.
Where was Sun? Sun wasn't seen around the site and we saw Jin calling out her name -- strange since they were traveling together and should have been next to each other after the crash.
Where was Aaron? Well, obviously inside Claire. Or was he? Claire mentioned that her baby hadn't moved since the crash.
Where was Walt? We didn't see him either although we saw Michael calling out for him. Also strange since they were traveling together.
Where was Locke? We initially saw him flat on his back and not moving. Very similar to the position he was when we last saw him in the coffin at season 4 finale.
All of these people are off the island at the end of season 4 -- the Oceanic 6, Walt, and Locke. And, according to Ben, all of these people need to go back to the island.
I know others have said the same thing -- but what if Oceanic 6, Walt, and Locke return to the island by going back in time to the crash using some electromagnetic/time traveling mechanism (after all, this is LOST).
What about Ben though? He, too, is off the island and we are told he can't return. I believe he can't because he is still on the island. When the donkey wheel was turned, the island was moved in time (probably space too) back to the Dharma Initiative days when Ben was already on the island.
What if Ben continues to relive the same life on the island over and over again. He becomes the leader of Others, 815 crashes,manipulation of the losties, eventually moves the island again and relives the same events. This seems to explain why Ben always has a plan -- because he has been thru the events already.
I thought this kind of sucks. I certainly don't want LOST to end where it began. Something must be different this time the losties crash. Then I realize why I think Ben would do something different then next time losties return. Because Widmore changed the rules! Everytime Ben relives his life on the island, Alex never dies. But this time she did!
The next time the losties return via 815 crash, Ben will finally do things differently. He will break the rules! He will enlist the help of the losties and finally break his recurring life on the island...
