Having said that - I haven't missed a single episode (yay dvr) and have developed a theory about the "secret".
A couple of key parts of my guess:
- There was no plane crash.
- All of the 'flashbacks' are suggested memories, not real ones.
- The "others" also part of the 'experiment' - they're not the puppetmasters.
There's more - but I won't bore you with it. So far, I haven't seen anything that directly refutes my hypothesis, which I've had since the beginning of the show.
When Ubergeek and I talked about it, he added a some observations that completely make sense (to my sci-fi warped mind, at least). I'll let him fill you in.
BTW, has anyone here seen "Dark City"? If not, you should.

One of the my main observations/beliefs is, along with Mousepods theory, is that:
By pressing the button, the survivors are in fact injecting themselves with whatever experimental drug they are under the influence of. (hence the forced realities/memories)
Using fear, Dharma is able to make them self perpetuate the experiment. And they don't even realize it. To me, the last episode made it more concrete for me. I could be wrong.
