I just received the following from one of my sources. Again it's from a 3rd party and not direct from my source so I'm placing it in rumours for now as I've had no confirmation.
The new arrivals already know most of the facts about the island – and a lot of the why. We won’t find out how they know at first but they’ll arrive and immediately get to work while keeping the Losties busy. Hurley gets caught when he spies on them. Ben is forced to tell the Losties a lot of the secrets of the island. The Losties’ first agenda is to survive – but Ben wants to “save the island”. The Losties will separate when they finally agree with Ben. There will be a lot of fighting – the new arrivals have technology which Ben and the Losties don’t have access to which helps them track their movements. The Losties need to use certain stations and underground tunnels to evade them. The battle will come down to the island’s forces against modern technology.

Sounds true, but could also be wishful thinking. I hope it's true.
I hope this is true. I think it would be interesting.
Well this sounds very interesting!!! And it certainly answers most of my questions about why the Losties would abandon the beach. It sounds like this season will be quite the game of cat and mouse. I just wonder how Smokey will factor into it all. "He" doesn't seem to like having a lot of company in the jungle.

Sounds like a video game.
As much as I like action, I hope Lost doesnt go overboard with it. Sure I like people getting killed every now and then. But not a mini-war.
this actually sounds SORT OF reliable.. only because we've heard spoilers about Hurley being tied up somewhere and we know Ben has a big problem with these new people... i dunno.. i guess we'll find out.. but i think this seems like it could be true... at least some of it...
and we may need a "mini-war" to save the island... it's "us" against "them"... and the promos have been telling us that it's time to save the island... so... we'll see...
It has the ring of truth to it. I can see the Lost writers going for a technology versus the island theme. That is what Locke was complaining about in TMFT -Ben's use of technology and Jacob is not so fond of it either. Wonder if Jacob can help in the battle. If he can give Ben a tumor (and I have no doubt that was Jacob getting even) he can reach out and damage the invaders too. I want to see the tunnels so bad. Since season one there have been theories of tunnels running through the island. They're on the maps Sayid took from the Flame and I finally want to see them and find out for certain when they were used.
I share your opinion, it sounds reliable because it is in tune with the spoilers we've heard. And the concept is logical for the plot to: the writers need to have an excuse to spill more secrets about the island (if they want to answer all the questions before the end of the series, this is a good time to start ;)).
I am with u Maureen in Mukilteo, I would love to see the actual tunnels underneath the island, connecting to most of the hatches/stations. I think the losties will discover yet more hatches next season & I don't just mean the Orchid.
I would like this bit of info to be true as it sounds pretty reliable.
Smokey does av friends with him in the jungle lol. One is the polar bears & the other one is Jacob.
Thanks Dark
If you think about it, we kind of already know all this (aside from the claim that Ben is forced to reveal Island secrets). Which leads me to believe that this is just someone asking for attention. If these people on the freighter are actively searching out the Island they more than likely know the Islands properties. The Dharma Initiative knew about them, as does Mittelos, so another corporate entity could know about them as well (assuming these people aren't from the aforementioned companies). We've seen pictures of these new characters, and along with Naomi, it's obvious they have all kinds of gear and gadgets, so they would use them to their advantage. And obviously, Jacob hates technology.
I'm really curious to see how this all plays out in getting Jack, Kate and others off the Island. I really believe that Ben was the person in the coffin and Jack feels guilty because his actions caused Ben to be removed from his home. Something happens to change Jack's opinion of the Island which is why he's trying so desperately to return. He's seen the same beautiful and perfect "thing" that Ben has and I can't wait to see it as well.
Someone mentioned the smokemonsters role in all of this. I think Smokey will protect the island, and with it the Losties and maibe the others. This would be nice because then we might develop some sympathy for the smokemonster, and who would have thought that?
And Higdon, I think you could be right. But even if its just someone wanting attention, it's nice to discuss it like this. As you say it, you're right, most of it is just filling in the blanks.
Your theory about Ben is very interesting. I for a while thought it was Locke or Michael, but this would be so dramatic and well-plotted, especially after watching the Ben-Jack mobisode.
I remember reading somewhere that JJ Abrams believed the main theme of Star Wars was 'Nature/Force vs Technology'. Since both JJ and Damon are big Star Wars fans, it wouldn't surprise me if they use the same theme here in Lost.
I think it would be totally cool if Locke was in danger from one of the new people, and just when Locke is going to get killed, Smokey comes and saves the day. Technology vs the Island. Completely just my imagination probably, but how cool would that be.
Sounds true, and I hope it is.

I think that would be pretty cool too! And it would certain fit with what we have already seen about Locke. He is a bit like Mikhail in that he appears to be another character who never dies (you know surviving the fall out a nine story window, a plane crash, the hatch implosion, a gun shot wound, etc). Maybe that is what being "special" on the island is all about.
Yes, nman, the old Faith vs. Science theme.
The Losties will separate when they finally agree with Ben.
Not really sure what this means. Any thoughts?

Love that idea, I can totally see that happening next season. I think Locke has a strong connection with Smokey. Smokey understands him, can tell that Locke is 'Special', thru Jacob.
Maria: I think he means, some of the Losties will agree with Ben and will be trying to save the Island from the Freighter people, while the others will go back for shelter or something.
Island secrets, stations, and underground tunnels......I'm happy!
Right Annabeth, sympathy for Smokey would be a neat move on the part of TPTB, as our feelings about everyone else get ambiguous and can go both ways depending on the situation. Why not Smokey? Good call.
Wow, this does sound somewhat true, and extremely interesting. I really hope this is part of what actually happens.
I LOVE the whole Smokey bodyguard idea, that would be phenomenal. What would also be pretty cool is even if Smokey would just be his own thing altogether and not really be on anyones side, just taking out whomever he feels isn't fit to be there. Maybe even Smokey is on the Freighters side (if he turns out to be some kind of technology related creature/thing) and when they get to the island they turn him full-blow on the tails of everyone. This might just be me but...I don't think he makes such mechanical noises for no reason, I think physically there's more to Smokey than what we've seen. I personally think theres a mechanical "something" moving around out there knocking all the trees down and all that. We've seen him weave between and blow UP trees, but we've never seen him do anything like what he was doing in the pilot when they all first saw the trees bending and moving.
The Smokey we know could possibly only be the EYE of the full creature. There could be a whole 'nother creature off in the trees that just sends out the smoke to check things out and maybe toss the occasional unlucky b-stard into a tree.
