You start with a Stargate type black hole on an airplane, add a mega-billion dollar cloning project in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, add a highly lethal virus in a breakable bottle which apparently kills all the scientists involved equals = I got nothing!
Without a Lost type beam to bring the plane down and start a time loop there is nothing to tie the two technologies together. If you resurrected your precious family members you certainly would not drop them into a jungle filled with prehistoric carnivores and even more dangerous crazy people. If the virus ate the workers and transformed them into the students, why would it wait decades to activate? If the pods took that long to gestate, who scattered the passengers around the crash site? How can these inconsistencies be rationalized in two weeks? Either Sengoku wakes up in the hospital with his head bandaged or it is all a big Truman Show type reality TV - with about 70% casualties. |

I guess I'm the only one that seems to be against the cloning theory and time travel is the only explanation.
The plane itself was still spanking new, full of supplies compared to everything else. If humanity is extinct, no way they could remake all that in that condition. |

With two chapters left, still so many unanswered questions.
If they are clones, it would confirm my suspicion that the two Miinas might be the same (opposite clones of a single). Also if they are clones, it could be a possibility that Hades is a previous clone of Sengoku and the whole survival story is cyclical where the survivor(s) find the truth and realize they can start over again, where a new batch of clones are created and the whole ordeal repeats. Though it doesn't explain why you would have clones start off on an airplane. If it was a starting stage for clones, it's pretty bad because it's easily destroyed by the animals. Right now, the only happy end with them returning is if this whole entire thing was some kind of bad dream from Sengoku eating too much during the flight. |

This might sounds stupid but.. what if that it's only Sengoku who experienced the time slip and everyone else is a clone? I mean, it seems that he's the only one who has the memories of that thing appeared. It could also be the reason why he's separated from the rest of them at the beginning, thought it will means that there are others too who experienced time slip beside him Quote:

The whole cyclical theory really hits a snag when you consider the qns of "Then who's cloning them?" The bones are fairly old, as are the other remains. If they were cyclical, someone must be pulling the strings but we have found no other living people yet and there are no indications to say there are still other living people on the island.

Spoiler for Theory:
But yeah I too doubt that the story can be wrapped up satisfactorily with just one chapter left. Maybe it'll be a 50-page chapter. Personally I don't think there's gonna be a 2nd arc since the mystery of the island has been pretty much solved with just a few loose ends here and there. So far I can see only 2-3 possible outcomes - the group either resign to staying on the island or they make a run for Okinawa; or there's a deus ex machina as suggested and they go back in time, which would be ridiculous without a sensible explanation.... |

Given that the island isn't on any maps, it might be an artificially made island aswell.
I do not know for what reason they'd clone everybody (if they had the technology to do that without remaining tissues of the people who died) and leave them in the crashed plane. |

Enough with the cloning! I don't think it's possible to even clone people who disappeared, with their memory up to when they're on the plane! Simply bullshit! |
