So Nikki, does that mean in your season six book, you'll re-post this list of quntoises along with definitive answers when available and speculative answers on your part for the ones that don't get answered? Cuz that'd be very awesome...For me, I tend to group all the lingering quntoises into three categories: The Island (Smokey, the whispers, what Locke saw in Walkabout, though I don't really need an answer to the island itself: how does it move/why is it weird? Eh, it just is), The Others (Jacob and his lists, why were they capturing kids, what's their ultimate goal, Richard's mysteries, Ben's mysteries (Annie), the deal with Widmore and "the rules" etc), and Dharma (the food drops, their ultimate goals, the Hanso connections). Which leaves Walt, Libby and Aaron and Claire's psychic in a fourth vague category (Lost Losties, maybe?). Darlton swear up and down Libby's ship has sailed (pun intended) which is disappointing but I guess I have to accept that. I really hope we haven't seen the last of Walt, as he seemed SO important in the first two seasons, and it would be a shame if his story was curtailed just because the actor grew up: they had to know THAT was going to happen. And if we're supposed to assume that Claire's psychic was BS and Aaron isn't paranormally special or destined for something, well then, hooey, I say, but fine, so be it. But I want that confirmed on the show. As for the numbers, I'm perfectly happy accepting the quasi-canonical ARG explanation and leaving them as an otherwise eerie and unexplained force.
