I think Lostpedia is probably your best bet (as long as you stick to the episode descriptions without clicking on any of the links). For example, can read the summary of episode 10 here: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Raised_by_Another

I don't think the plot can be boiled down to simple hero/villain roles. The Man In Black broke the rules, and received a sort of punishment for that. Unfortunately, it was an eternal damnation sort of punishment, which is pretty disproportionate given his offense. But using his powers, he spent the millennia manipulating and killing people, so he's not an ...

I believe that the science explanation is just one way of looking at the island. You can form theories of how stuff works on the island based on the electromagnetic properties and see if it fits. The scientists in the series do just that and offer facts for the viewers that adhere to such a storyline and want to analyze it scientifically. You could also ...

It has been quite a while since I have watched Lost so what I say may have holes. I believe the island is a sort of Limbo. So one can argue that Jacob could have been a god or deity and the Man in Black could have been his opposite, or at least they may have represented this. Dont think in terms of the traditional religion but think of in terms of religion ...

I think a little of both. From the early seasons of Lost we see that the smoke monster can take the forms of dead people. It also learns their memories. So when it was first released, the first person it did this on was the Man in Black. We don't know what the smoke monster was like previous to that, but starting there, he had the full memories and form ...

The Man in Black did not know that he would become mortal; he expected that he would be free from the island but retain his form and powers. This is made plain by analyzing the scene with Jack and MiB (as Locke) just after they come out of the cave, following Desmond's extinguishing of the heart. Jack tackles Locke and punches him. Locke tastes blood, and ...

The Island somehow strengthens the immune system of people on it, and provides some other healing capabilities. The issue with pregnancy, which I think Juliet explained, was that the amped up immune system mistook pregnancy for a disease. The immune system would interfere with normal pregnancy, resulting in a miscarriage. People who got pregnant ...

I'm under the impression that MIB and the Smoke Monster are one and the same. In the episode Across the Sea (S6 Ep15) we learn that the "Mother" made it so they can never hurt each other Why would the Smoke Monster adhere to this (and look for a loophole) if it wasn't Jacob's brother? In that same episode we see that MIB is desperate to leave the ...
