i think the best part of this phenomenal TV show is the “theories” that fans projected during the run of the show.  I don’t care what the producers say, you know that they took some of the creative theories and added them as “elements” into the episodes between season 1 and season 6.  And they were some good episodes and some really bad ones.  But LOST is going be a big part of TV history, because of their loyal fandom.  I don’t think the popularity of the show is going to die down anytime soon.  They jumped on the bandwagon and had “action heroes” of the characters for sale at the end of Season 1 or 2.  I would have to believe that where they go next is selling the memoriability, like books and DVDs forever. Case in point, should i dare say it, “Star Wars!”  Let’s face it, ever since George Lucas came out with the cult classic in 1977, the market for all the items available out there has not slowed down, but gained momentum.  They even have “Star Wars” classes at some colleges and universities.  I truly believe that this same kind of phenonminum will sweep through LOST.  Can you say Smoke Monster Lego Set??!!!!  Shows over, but the fans will keep it going, no doubt.
