So far the theory I had since the first 1/4 of season one has not changed. Everything since then has remained to fit my theory. Some random movies I have seen before are making me to start think that the writers of Lost are getting there ideas based on other movies and stories (not copying though). I don't believe that I am right. I think my theory has lined up with just luck so far. Here it is anyway as a very brief summary.
The experiments by Dharma are to study advanced mental abilities or "Enlightenment like off Stargate". They put people in situations to unlock special mental abilities like predictions and telepathy, etc., explaining Eko's dreams and the visions of Walt and the French lady's insanity.
Hurley's numbers are possibly linked to the physics behind this, like the "Fibonacci Numbers" in real life. Also, the numbers could be to do with controlling certain things on a higher level of reality explaining the characters meeting up.
The island is like that theory in a very old Bermuda Triangle movie I watched. Like this one theory that Einstein (it my be someone else's theory; I am not sure) had about using electromagnetic energy to bend or curve space, kinda like to make the snow globe mentioned in your Lost theories article. The magnetic anomaly does this bending. This would explain why you can only leave the island one way and not return.
The smoke creature is possibly a mental projection or out of body mind that was created in the enlightenment experiments. The four-toed statue is probably of an ancient group that got stuck there long ago and one of their heroes or all of them had four toes (this is the only new add-on to my theory).
Why they want Hurley, Jack, Sawyer and Kate -- and Henry mentioning that Locke is one of the good ones -- is that the are more complete in the enlightenment process.

It's a weekly tradition for my family to watch Lost every Wednesday. We almost never make plans to miss it and whenever we do we ask a friend to tape it for us. After the season finale a single sentence was shouted by every family member in our household: "Are they alive?!"
Bursting the Dam
Before Desmond turned the key in order to "Burst the Dam", we saw everything metallic in the hatch that wasn't bolted down fly toward the generator, and the ones that were were crumpled up. After Desmond did his thing, the sky turns purple and a loud high-pitched noise resounds. And we also see the hatch's... hatch... fly out of the air and land on the beach out yonder. This can safely lead us to assume that after Desmond turned the key the magnet reversed and sent everything metal flying. Seeing as how the only metal thing outside the hatch was the hatch itself, the metal things inside the hatch were assumably sent flying as well and if those inside the hatch (Desmond, Locke, and Eko) were not in the direct path of a washing machine they are, in theory, just fine. For Locke and Eko this would be tricky, but for Desmond, who is below at the time, has no loose metal to be sent his way and is therefore, in theory again, just fine.
However, this again leads to another question: Why did Dharma built the key slot in the first place? Did they know from the start that this thing would overload and had it built as a security measure? And if they did, why build the whole generator at all?
Henry Gale
It is safe to assume, I think, that "Henry Gale" is the leader of The Others. This may be countered when he said, when threatened to be shot under interrogation, "He'd kill me!" leading that there was a higher man than he. However, I think that this was to mislead us into thinking that he was no one of consequence.
That being said, "Henry" was captured by Rousseau. This has never happened before, so why should it now? And "Henry" of all people, no this was a deliberate capture. Why? Well, it can be noted that Henry poked at the power struggle every chance he got. The old "Divide and Conquer". But why him? Why 'the leader'? Couldn't he have had some other peon do it? Also, why did he push the button? My only thought is that he knew what would happen and pushed the numbers. But Locke only told him the numbers once, which he repeated perfectly a moment after and remembered them after being unconscious for several minutes. Either he has an incredible memory, or he knew the numbers in the first place.
And he came back. When he clearly could have run away he came back to help Locke. There are two explanations as far as I can tell:
* He thought his story would check out with Sayid, Kate, and Charlie looking for his balloon.
* He wanted to gain trust.
The second of which he did gain for a few short minutes with Locke defending him after Sayid got back from the balloon. Had his story checked out, he would have probably gone from solitary confinement and gradually given more freedom. But to what cause? Sabotage? Information? Another list that the first spy failed to create?
Ga...
Lost is one of the most aggravating shows I've seen. They give you some answers, but instantly submerge you in more questions surrounding the answer. I want it to go on for many more seasons, but another side of me wants this season to be the last just so I can know what the heck's going on!
But I digress...
