Got a rumour that I've sort of verified with another source. It's still a rumour and should be treated as such, but it's rare that I get a double confirmation. 
Andy I have some more major spoilers for you regarding the episodes leading up to the finale.In an upcoming episode the script that I've read has Ben explaining some stuff about the properties of the island and part of this is the explanation of the "door" hatch that both Michael and Sayid observed.Everyone assumed that this door was fake when in fact is it actually a door that can allow access to another to the islands "box".
I've also heard and this is a rumour that this door allows characters from the other timeline to be "brought" back.My guess is Christian Shephard.I can also confirm that in an upcoming episode that the object you discussed on your site about an object that could not exist in this timeline is the photo of des and pen and the key word here is TIMELINE.ill update when i know more.eyedrop

When Coleen comes to report, she specificaly says: "The fake camp." or something along those lines. So I'm still sure, that door was just a ruse, not a real door. Not a time machine or wishing box eiter.
you got this from themisfit's site
you're probably te type of person who would insult him as well
The door is important- the rock wall certainly was a disappointment, but I do believe there's more to it.
hopefully that'll be the case!

Just because the "camp" was fake doesn't mean the door is fake. I sort of wondered why Dharma would go to the trouble of constructing a fake door like that - thought there might be more to it. I could see this rumour being true.
I thought the execs said on the official Lost podcast that Ben's box was a metaphor. Thus, wouldn't that mean that the "box" is bound to any one locale on the Island?
A) Its too off the wall to be true.
and
B) Its too off the wall for me to WANT it to be true.
I'm 100% for mythology and timelines... but that's just WAY too far.
The door is worthless. These are people who have killed to protect something. If the door was important they wouldn't have made it so easily accessible and ungaurded. Lost is not beyond common sense.
so if the photo cant exisist in this timeline, then the picture must have been taken at some point in the future. so, when des came back he ended up in the past, not the present?
desmonds photo was ripped up by penny in his timetraveling adventures

what better way to guard something than to downplay it's importance?
if ben builds it up to be some huge thing to his people, everyone wants a piece of it.
if he just acts like its some useless room, then why would anyone want to go in there?
as to this whole 'magc box that can access other timelines'-- i'm down, as long as they provide a good, reasonable, logical explination for it.
i am, however, disappointed about the des penny pic being the 'out of place' thing. it just seems a little anti-climatic
Yes, TPTB stated in the March 26 podcast that when Ben was talking about the "box" he was speaking metaphorically. This rumor reeks of BS.
Well if you look at the symbol on the Dharma Logo it does look like a 'black box'
I'd like to believe that the Door had more importance considering it would be weird for the rock to just indent like that so perfectly to put two fake doors on it.
The whole picture thing doesn't seem right. Desmond finds something that shouldn't exist in this timeline. His picture exists in his timeline so I bet he finds a wedding photo of him and Penny or something like that.
Muscle bob,
That rock formation is a real occurance with real doors. They found it like that in HWI and painted the Dharma logo on it.
This was in a podcast, they thought a door going nowhere was cool so they put it in the show.

Ummmm, not to lead them there in the first place.
Why have sayid go snooping around if it is real. And take Mike there so he can tell others.
Cuase it is fake as a Dave's friend Tyler's Cousion's dog.
"allow access to another to the islands "box"."
huge typo or what? was he trying to say that the door can access another island? Or was he trying to say that it leads to the islands "box?"
When Sayid looked in the doors, he didn't look behind the doors. I really think that something is behind the door, but you have to close the door to see it. It may be a doorway, staircase, or ladder. Just my 2 cents.
i remember a few people thought they heard knocking when sayid opened the door. and someone said the on the closed captioned it did say "knocking"
Yes Sally,
He look behind the door. It was a rock wall, a natural formed one.
There was no staircase, ladder, or elavator. Take your 2 cents and go rent the episode.
I think Sally was saying that you have to close the door while inside it for the magic portal to take you somewhere..... like the lion the witch and the wardrobe.
If you close the door in the rock closet it takes you to a magical island where the box is and you can have anything you want...... Even people alive or dead... and from any time.
I really hope that there is more to this door than meets the eye.
Yes its probably a fake & I certainly dont believe in the timeline & box rubbish. But I do believe in the door & I av a gut feeling that what's behind those doors will be a big reveal within the next 5 episodes!! U will see.
Could this be where Sawyer is in Catch-22 promo. It looks like if he is deep undergound like a basement & I think behind those doors is a secret door/trapdoor that will lead to Cooper's whereabouts.
I don't mean to be anal, but someone's gonna have to do an effort with the way they spell. I'm having a difficult time understanding this post.
I'm really wondering about the picture now, and the timeline thing. Hmmm...
thanks, spangledbanner!
With regard to the picture and "think TIMELINE", would a picture of a much older Penny make sense? The timeline would have to have shifted after the purple sky event...
I have been thinking along the lines of time shifting theory.Plus there is defenently more to this black rock.I dont believe in an actual box but people from another timeline,eg.Cooper,are coming from somewhere so I can see this theory being feasable.
If this is true I just hope the producers will deal with it very carefully. Hopefully this will not getting too ridicoulus.
I just dont want to believe it... hopefully they will present it the right way.
This is way out there, but thought I should write it:
If the door on the beach isn't really fake, and may be akin to Ben's "magic box" metaphor...
... maybe only "special" people can make it work.
Maybe that was why they were keeping Walt there. Trying to see if he had the power to make the door manifest anything.
Maybe Walt made Locke's dad come out of that door.
And after he had accomplished that, they didn't need Walt anymore, and let him go.
@_@ I know, it's nuts!
~ PeachfaceIsland
Remember that Mrs. Klugh asked Michael if Walt ever appeared somewhere he wasn't supposed to be? I am not a big supporter of the science fiction part of the story, but maybe they are explaining that part with the box. Maybe you have to be inside the box, or the door, to try to appear somewhere else. Just a thought. I am not sure I believe it, but you never know.
i don't understand... the photo is already on the island. desmond had it, so why do you keep saying it doesn't excist in this timeline (the island timeline)?

Exactly :)
There is only ONE photo. So how can the parachutist have photo that Desmond has as well.
Not to mention, Dark, that Penny had the photo on her nightstand at the end of year two.

Yes, that is the point. The turning of the failsafe has created 2 timelines.
Just watch a see..I'm not allowed to say any more at the moment.
hmmmmmmmmmmm...
Is this the BOX {looks more like a closet than a box lol} in which Walt...what's the word? Teleported into the jungle where Shannon & Sayid saw him dripping wet or was Walt dripping wet 'cos he cud av been prisoned in the room where Jack was in on the hydra island? If Walt was locked behind those doors, that may explain why the two armed guards were guarding it? U may think I am crazy lol but I really think what lies behind those doors is really important.
One last question about Walt, if Walt can teleport to places, especially to places where he shouldn't be {like Ms Klugh Said}, then how could he get himself all wet & teleport somewhere at the same time, or unless he ended up in the ocean or something & walked into the jungle where he saw Shannon & Sayid?
I think the parachutist gots Desmond and Penny's foto for find him in the island and just save him and not the others
Wow, Drak. You obviously know more thna you're letting on, and I find your last comment interesting. Thanks man. You've given me more food for thought.
Didn't the producers say that the scene with Penny in the S2 finale looked like it took place in real time (or rather, just after Des turned the failsafe), but that may not be the case? I'm not wording it right, but I recall them mentioning something to that effect.
I still don't understand how the failsafe MADE 2 timelines though...

I don't remember a fake door. Can someone refresh my memory here? I've watched every episode, so I guess I'm forgetting something.
It might have been the finale, or close to it of Season 2. Sayid goes to flank the camp, only to find out that it appears abandoned(assumed fake) and behind the door there was just rock.
Remember the Blast door map, yes it showed the fake door and had a big X through it.
This is like saying that toms fake beard was real, and the no beard was fake??
My point being is the doors were just a trick to fool the losties.
Dark -
Double prints :-) As you know, there are often multiple copies of the same picture. That wouldn't be particularly mindblowing.
biglew,
When they had the photo taken, it was just a guy on the street who assked them to pose. He quickly printed up one photo and gave it to Desmond. Right after that, Desmond and Penny broke up. He took the photo with him. I am assuming that Desmond didn't see Penny again, and didn't make some copies, but I am fairly certain he didn't. I think this is what the writers want us to see.
I thought that Penny had that Pic on her night stand?
If things have to come from these doors, how does it explain... Kate's horse, Charlie's guitar, The Rain, Jack's Dad etc. They couldn't ALL have come through there? Charlies guitar especially as this was tangled up in some roots. (Ok, maybe not all of these were "Wished for").
Just curious, but why have armed guards at an empty door? I guess it could be all an illusion, but it also seems plausible that something of actual value is in there.
Crap. The Door Station is pretty visible but it wasn't mentioned in the Radzinsky Map.
Great post njl. Originally I thought that the wall behind those doors were fake or had a secret switch which opened up an entrance. Which wud be cool. Letting us see the underground tunnels & where it lead to.
As u go thru the open entrance, u wud come to a tunnel/passageway that lead deep unground, connecting all the hatches/stations & also lead underneath the Sonic Fence/The Barracks.
We may even find out whether this door closet hatch thing is fake or real in episode 20 'The Man behind The Curtain.'
Saying that, it could be just a rouse, a fake. The Others had this decoy village for years & when they learnt about the losties discovering various hatches since they crashed on to teh island. The Others made it seem like if they were living at this village.
I hope this is a rumor and nothing more. This passes into the line of absurdity in the world of LOST, if this were true you’d see special guests coming through the door dressed as characters from different time periods. Brad Pitt as George Washington, Bruce Willis as JFK (I realize they don’t look the part, that just adds to the absurdity of it all.)
The pic of Des and Penny.....Based on the time travel they would have had the pic taken twice. Also, it's possible that Des left Penny clues The second time "around" once he realized something wierd like time travel was going on.
In the Catch 22 ep, it almost looked as if Penny knew Des already or had a deep feeling she knew him from somewhere. She really looked at him intently and not just because she felt "chemistry" with him. She almost seemed to expect it, but could not figure out why she was having those feelings.
Anyone else get that feeling??
I wonder if they will bring Rose and Bernard through the Doorway ;)
In the last podcast (dark haven't posted yet), TPTB stated that there was 2 photos: 1 given to Des and 1 given to Penny.
"I don't mean to be anal, but someone's gonna have to do an effort with the way they spell. I'm having a difficult time understanding this post"
erm, maybe YOU need a spelling/grammar lesson - "do an effort"? "do an effort"?? that makes no sense, not in English anyway!!
It's "MAKE" an effort, that's "make" an effort......people in glass houses.......
first of all there is a differece between SPELLING and GRAMMAR...
