Season 1 flashbacks show how they end up on the beach, Season 2 flashbacks show how Desmond ends up in the hatch, Season 3 flashbacks show who the others are, Season 4 flashforwards show how Jack concludes "We have to go back", the Season 5 time flashes show how Daniel was at the Swan construction site and met Dr. The first thing we saw was how the season ends. This time there is a new story telling device. Now we are seeing flashforwards of flashbacks. We are seeing the reset timeline that has not been created yet.
That's because he is. Her mind is flashing to another period of time I think in the off island scenes, we are going to see a lot of character resolutions. Juliet will meet Sawyer, they will flirt with each other, and she will ask him if he would like to go get a cup of coffee, for instance. Basically the idea is that the off island alternate we are seeing right now is going to be the result of what happens on the island this season What I want to add to this theory is this: I think I know how Jack will reset everything AND how the island ends up at the bottom of the ocean.
We know this is the final season and the writers have promised us that all of the major questions that are important to the characters will be answered.
One major question that is of obvious importance to the Losties is how the island can move through both time and space. I predict that at some point in this season, probably somewhere around episode , Jack will learn what the island is and how it can be moved and the nature of time travel.
In the mean time, I predict many of the characters on Lost will die. We've all known Desmond Hume was special from the very moment he came face to face with the survivors back in season one.
And not just for his mega-watt grin and swoon-worthy accent. Once the hatch-keeper, whose sole reason for existence was to push a button every minutes -- there are those numbers again -- Desmond can withstand enormous quantities of the island's electromagnetic power even after others have died from the same exposure.
Charles Widmore, you know, before he was casually blown away by Ben, said Desmond was his "last resort. And indeed, he was the last resort to saving the island from the Man in Black. It was Desmond's ability to withstand the electromagnetic energy to disable the island's powers long enough for the threat of evil to be extinguished.
This season's opener introduced the flash sideways. Because, you know, after years of figuring out flashbacks and flash forwards, viewers needed a little shake-up. But as we got to see glimpses of a world we don't yet understand, we were also treated to a very quick flash of the island in a flash-sideways world -- deep under the ocean with a Dharma-branded shark circling overhead.
It was referenced several times in the first hour when Fake Locke threatened to sink the island. And after Desmond removed the cork from the well of light, we did indeed see portions of the cliffs plummet into the ocean. But we now know that the ocean floor island was part of the castaways' purgatory. So did the island sink when they finally moved on?
We'll never know. Losties first got their glimpse of the giant four-toed statue watching over the island at the end of season two. The statue in modern times is severed at the ankle, but flashbacks to the early Jacob days have included views of the back of the full statue. It appears to be an Egyptian god, the most popular theory that it's Sobek, a Nile god with the head of a crocodile.
It was revealed at the end of season five that Jacob lived inside the statue, but it was never revealed where it came from or why it watches over the island. The show relied heavily on Walt -- Michael's young son who was being brought back to live with his father after years of estrangement. When they crashed on Oceanic , they crashed along with Vincent, Walt's loyal yellow Labrador retriever.
Walt was supposed to have been special, to be able to do things and see things the others couldn't, including teleporting while being held hostage by the Others. But then his father took him off the island, and we saw little of him after that. Michael ended blowing up along with Widmore's freighter -- can we call being blown up pulling an Arzt? We never again saw Walt or Michael. Not in the flash-sideways world and not in the church. But there's more: When Jack asks "Where are we, Dad?
The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you. Again, let those words sink in. The plane ride from Sydney that never landed in LA? What happened that was so important?
Did they all just really bond over their affection for the Oceanic Airlines brand of peanuts? There's a mantra repeated often in Lost : Whatever happened, happened. It's meant as a motto to say that you can't change the past even if you can travel to it , but it's important here, too: Whatever happened on the Island happened. Yes, now. He died, but instead of letting go and moving "on" to Heaven or wherever you believe one moves on to after death , he woke up in this weird Purgatory-esque place where the Oceanic plane didn't crash, where he had a son and where none of the plane crash survivors recognize each other.
Charlie went to the same place when he died in the Looking Glass station. Locke the real one went there when he was strangled off-Island. Sun and Jin go there after drowning in the submarine. These are all deaths that occur at different times, during events of the show that actually happen y'know, in the context of the fiction. Not really, no. If the overwhelming evidence within the show itself isn't enough to convince you, then the show's co-creator Damon Lindelof in an interview with The Verge , laid it out very plainly himself.
In the interview, posted online as a video in , interviewer Joshua Topolsky himself fell into the "they're all dead" trap, explaining that his thoughts upon finishing the series was, "All the things that just happened didn't really mean anything. They kind of didn't happen. But that's wrong. That happened Anything that takes place on the Island in Lost happened. Absolutely, percent.
The plane crashed, those people survived. He even goes beyond the show, explaining a bit about what happens after the final credits rolled. I've noticed that some though definitely not all people who were disappointed with how Lost ended felt cheated because they built it all up to that one moment.
