We don't actually know how Hurley finally dies. The cake might have been filled with C4.

They ended up all dead in a church and went into the light, for Pete's sake. I'm just trying to roll with the punches. And, I actually think that this theory simplifies the situation enormously without adding any more supernatural elements than have already been introduced, and restores linear causality to the Lost timeline (whatever happened happened).

I've been grappling with how exactly getting bombarded with electromagnetism shifts your consciousness into the parallel universe also known as the afterlife. My conclusion is that it didn't, there was no sideways universe, there was only the distant future. And Desmond's future, after he's pulled out of the cork room... Continue reading

I refused to ever entertain the idea that it was the Ajira plane because it would have swung Jacob's scale to far towards "crap" in the balance between "awesome" and "craptastic". I'm also hoping that they do a director's cut of the series where they edit out the entire sideways universe.

Vincent can hang out with Hurley and Ben and probably has been living off Dharma bunnies the whole time. In fact, he probably ate so many time traveling bunnies that he too can now travel in time.

I'm talking about the mainstream reality, in the sideways universe, the island sank, but all events in the sideways universe are suspect, since it was really the afterlife. and as I mentioned in my other post, there are too many things that have to be explained for the sideways timeline to actually be possible.

@tiff You find it surprising that Shannon was easier to hire than Mr. Eko?

The island didn't sink. Hurley became the new Jacob, Ben became the new Richard, Rose and Bernard became the new Others, not sure what happens to Desmond, probably sails back home in his boat, or has to climb back down the hole and adjust the stone stopper every 108 minutes or something. Jack may or may not be a smoke monster, and if so, maybe a white one.

I'm still debating whether last night's season finale was the best of all possible Lost endings, partly because they gave us two endings. Many people, including the producers, have tried to say it's all about the people, not the mythology plotline, but the reality is that the plotline was as... Continue reading

I agree with Sippey, Christian made the point as well as could be made without bringing in Daniel Farraday to draw a diagram. I'm still uncomfortable with the sideways universe being "unreal", but throughout the season I've been frustrated with a number of things that were preventing the sideways universe from being internally consistent. It was still too dreamlike, things just weren't adding up like how exactly had Dharma and Others alike escaped from the Bomb and island sinking.

Jack getting decapitated in the finale trumps any Lost theory I've had since the start of the series. Fingers crossed!

I don't like where you're going with this.

Sadly, I think that Jacob didn't reveal himself sooner because the writers hadn't yet figured out what he would say. In many ways, this episode was more disappointing than last weeks episode, because by killing all of these interesting characters, it ups the ante that the finale is going to rely completely on a deus ex machina ending (although, that could be done in an cool way, as per my subsequent blog post). It's not out of the question, and not without precedent, for these writers to completely introduce a new character or plot device in the finale and use that to wrap things up, but it would have been a lot more satisfying to have had Widmore or Change and Dharma or sideways Daniel emerge as a mastermind to challenge the game or at least throw a wrench into the plan. It would not surprise me if Sunday's episode starts with someone we've never seen before sitting on a beach.

We've seen many, many repeated themes, some very heavy handed, like like the destruction of the Greek camp mirroring the destruction of the Dharma village. Here's my "wouldn't it be f-ing awesome but they're not that smart" theory A hole in the ground with light coming out of it that... Continue reading

I'm still not sure that Jacob had any powers conferred upon him by the wine, either. We've never seen anyone die of old age on the island, they all get killed by someone. I think the power comes from the island, and if you're there long enough, like Jacob, you learn how to work the power to do things, but maybe I'm still wishing it wasn't all magic.

Some good scenes, Hurley's comment when he saw Anna Lucia was great and revealing. Systematic elimination of every possible wildcard character in the main universe except for Desmond and maybe Miles, who's not much of a wildcard. Jack was given the job too quickly, I have a hunch it means... Continue reading

At this point, I don't know how they finish up without throwing away a lot of characters just as important as Eloise. The entire sideways universe history from the bomb blast til today is unexplained. They started strong with the sideways universe but it feels like they didn't think it through, what the heck were the evacuated Others and Dharma doing for the last 30 years? Oh, time travelers from the future blew up our life's work, not to mention the Source of all life, we'll just assimilate back into society. Sideways Jacob is working at a Mr. Cluck's. I count at least 10 important loose ends and I'm sure I could come up with at least double that perusing Lostpedia. Even if they kill Kate at the start of the next episode and we're spared the languid pace of her plotline, there's at least 90 minutes of explanations left even spending no more than 5 minutes on each one.

The Hurley Bird mystery is the easiest one to explain. Jack is going to replace Jacob, and Sawyer (who wants off of the island as much as MIB) is going to take the MIB's place. Widmore is going to have Zoe scan the Source with a "tachyon" device that will cause an explosion that is directed in the negative time axis, which will hurl Jack and Sawyer backwards in time, manifesting briefly at various points. Sawyer will appear as the Hurley Bird and try to communicate with Hurley but, new to being able to change form, will only be able to squawk his name before time jumping again. He's also going to be in the outrigger, shooting at himself.

I think that so-called "exclusive interview" is a hoax.

They're just trying to trick us into thinking they're incompetent so that we're all the more in awe of the finale.
