lost questions!?

how did the others get on the island? what really is the monster? what is the dharma initiative?ps-i've watched most of lost, and don't quite understand.thx.

None of these questions have been answered and are still parts of the great mystery of Lost. You should go on some Lost fan sites. They can produce some very interesting theories that may guide you toward some answers. My source is one that I trust most.

how did the others get on the island?the first of them (the"hostiles") had been on the island loooong before DHARMA. they're the islands natural inhabitants.what really is the monster?a type of"security system", but we don't know what it fully is.what is the dharma initiative?DHARMA was/is a group of scientists and free thinkers from from around the globe whose purpose is to conduct research in various disciplines, including meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism*taken from the DHARMA wikipedia page*and just for kicks, DHARMA stands for Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications.
