LOST Theory Thursday

In order to keep from being original and doing work, I'm gonna throw out a LOST theory I read somewhere after all the new episodes this month. This one is from the LOST TV forum-site that I ripped off a lot of pictures from yesterday.

In the Hatch, Locke was flipping through the book, "An Occurance At Owl Creek Bridge", which was made into a film and later picked up by The Twilight Zone, a program which JJ Abrahms pays quite a bit of homage to.

At the end of "Owl Creek Bridge" we learn the entire story occurs in the split second of a man's hanging...between the time his feet are kicked out and his neck snaps.

Could the entire series of LOST be happening in the split second between the plane crash and death? In other words...while we are watching everything going on, the plane is still falling from the air?

I hope not. That would be the biggest copout since we saw what's-his-face in the shower on Dallas. I think the writers have made it pretty clear that they're not dead, they're not in limbo. This theory would be a little too close to those. I think it's them throwing something in the show to mess with us. Just like Hurley's last line in the episode.

"Dentists tell you not to pick your teeth with any sharp metal objects. Then you sit in their chair. And the first thing they grab is an IRON HOOK."
