Going into season 5, here are things we still don't know about in "Lost."
* What is the history of the Others? Where did they come from? Why did they kill off the Dharma Initiative?
* What's behind the creepy whispering often heard on the island? Ghosts?
* What are the lists all about? Why are the Others interested in some of the crash survivors and not the rest? They define themselves as "good." What's their definition of the word?
* What was Ben's breakfast on the beach with Kate in season 3 all about? We didn't see any of their discussion.
* Why does the smoke monster kill some people and not others?
* What IS the smoke monster?
* Why did the Others initially disguise themselves as shipwrecked pirate types complete with fake beards?
* What's up with the sickness that killed off Danielle's team?
* What is the history of "Adam and Eve," the skeletal remains the crash survivors discovered in season one? Were they Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan?
* What really brought the various people to island? What's behind the web of connections among them all?
* Is the Dharma Initiative still active at all?
* Who was behind the air drop of Dharma supplies that has benefited the Oceanic survivors?
* Why do women on the island die instead of giving birth?
* What's behind the apparent healing properties of the island?
* Who, or what, is Jacob?
* What's responsible for the visions of animals and dead people the crash surivors sometimes see on the island?
* What's the deal with Libby, killed in season 2, who evidently gave Desmond the sailboat that landed him on the island and who once was in a mental ward with Hurley?
* What's up with the giant, four-toed statue Sayid, Sun and Jin see at the end of season 2?
* Is there any explanation for why the man in the Dharma Initiative videos is at different times identified as Dr. Marvin Candle, Dr. Mark Wickmund, Dr. Pierre Change and other names and why the CIA agent who identifies himself as Joe Inman to Sayid tells Desmond that his name is Kelvin Inman?
* Why did the psychic in Australia encourage Claire to take the doomed flight?
* Who is the man Sarah left Jack for? Why is she so reluctant to reveal his identity? Is he somehow associated with the Dharma Initiative and/or the Others?
* How is the island hidden from the outside world?
* How did Abaddon recruit his team? Why did they agree to help him?
* What's up with that polar bear in Tunisia? Was Charlotte part of Dharma when she found it, or was she snooping into what Dharma is all about?
* How does Ben leave the island?
* What is the explanation for the time anomalies between the island and the rest of the world?
* Why is Richard Alpert seemingly ageless? What is his history?
* Are Christian Shepherd and Claire dead? Are we seeing their ghosts? Is Jacob making their ghosts appear?
* Who is Penelope's mother?
* Why did Alpert want the body of Amy's husband?
* Who created the ancient temple on the island?
* How did the Others save young Ben after he was shot?

I think the whole thing boils down to time travel. My theory is that the premise of the show is a sort of "Groundhog Day" (remember the Bill Murray movie?) scenario in which the time travelers are desperately trying to fix a time line gone haywire and every time they try , something else goes wrong.....so they have to start all over. That's why there are all the connections between characters - they are being manipulated into going to the right places. The whispers are the overlapping time lines, from all the other attempts that were made - they are hearing themselves.
