I pulled this off of the fuselage. Pure speculation, but an interesting possibility:
"Scott's Spotlight: Lost - A Cloning Experiment?

Its no mystery that Lost is one of the most talked about shows on television. What does remain a mystery, however, is the secret behind the Others on the island. For those who havent already been wrapped up in the wave of excitement surrounding the show, the Others are the mysterious people that werent on the plane who keep popping up around the island and creating havoc for the survivors.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse stated that the two younger men on the mysterious boat that kidnapped Walt (a young boy with special mind powers) during the season finale are a subtle but long-range clue about the mysteries of the island.
Intrigued, I re-watched the kidnapping scene, this time paying special attention to the two men to which Cuse referred. Because the scene takes place at night, the camera never fully exposes the mens physical features, but they look very similar. In fact, they seem to be identical.
So, what does this reveal? Perhaps the Others are engaged in human cloning. This would certainly explain the sightings of Jacks father on the island, especially considering that his fathers body was removed from its casket. Similarly, this theory also sheds light on reports that Ian Somerhalder may appear in some episodes next season, even though Boone is definitely dead. Could we see a cloned version of Boone? Maybe.
Of course, I may be entirely off base, but at least its something to consider as we wait for season two of televisions most fascinating show.
