Tim Goodman's blog post on the LOST premiere is fairly meta, but still worth reading for the 'parallel worlds, parallel lives' / Hugh Everett III framework (it's not really a "theory" per se, but rather a way to just think about what's happening). This bit below isn't really about Everett, but instead about how to deal with LOST this season...
Which brings me to my friend Ian's accidental Zen treatise on Formula 1 racing and life. (I know...but it does...so bear with me.) He said that drivers, at least in the past, were taught to take their hands off the wheel as the lightning fast, dangerous cars went flying into a wall. Once you knew you were going to hit and there was no saving it, drivers would take their hands off the wheel to avoid a twisting steering-wheel torque that would break their wrists. And that's like life. Sometimes, you can't control your destiny any longer. You need to take your hands off the wheel. Don't obsess. And so my sane idea is to do that with "Lost." Let the episodes unfold and we'll figure out what it means in the end.
