Basq · 02-09-2007 5:13pm

It all makes perfect sense!

why jack doesn't what to see the dead boy
why kate doesn't want to go see the body
why jack's father is still alive

AlmightyCushion · 02-09-2007 5:41pm

That doesn't make any sense. And Jack's father is dead.

I think it's Ben. Everyone else would have family and friends that would be at their funeral.

4_tailed_fox · 02-09-2007 5:46pm

jack's father is still alive he kept telling the doctor to ring him the whole way through the episode, either that or jack is...back in time which may explain adam and eve a bit..

I can't say why I think this, because of possible spoilerage, but this could actually be the answer.

Although, Lost has a way of making people think the craziest sh!t, and then the answer was the most obvious one all along.

EDIT: Also, I believe Jack's Dad is dead. I think Jack was being ironic when speaking to the other doctor, and the writers wrote it so that we would think it was a flashback until the very end of the episode.

I think its walt!
or WAAAAALLLLLLLTTTTTT

I think Jack was just a little tired and emotional, and more then a little unhinged when he told them to get his father down, hence the weird looks everyone gave him when he said it, cause everyone was thinking "freaking nut job, his dad has been dead for like a year...".

Its Boone, think about it.
Coffins contain dead people.
Boone is a dead person.
Coffin is at a funeral.
Funerals are for dead people.
Boone is dead people.

Either that or its jacob, the person who got the two off the island and was their only chance to get back.

User45701 · 04-09-2007 12:56pm

Its Sayer or micheal, more than likley soyer because why would kate care at all about michael

Kanney · 04-09-2007 12:59pm

Its not Sawyer, my whole hearted guess is, its someone we haven't seen yet.

Agamemnon · 04-09-2007 1:17pm

*wipes shoes*

I thought it was Michael. That's why nobody else turned up at the funeral - he betrayed the rest of the Losties to get WWAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLTTTTTTTTTTT back.

Then again, the coffin looked small so maybe it's Walt. Or maybe the Losties chopped Michael's legs off in revenge.

If it was Saywer then who was Kate supposed to get back to before he missed her?

User45701 · 04-09-2007 2:46pm

sorry he im not as into lost so i lack my usual recal abality i dont remember the last episode word for word because its not that amazing but anyway ye your right so i think ill have to rewatch the last scene later today and get back to you because i remember argueing with my mates over who it was and whatever my reasons i was sure i was right

Basq · 04-09-2007 5:32pm

You people are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off...

.. it's Vincent for fecks sake!

Obvious as the two noses on my face!

Interesting point there-Maybe its set in a few years, and certain events change kates feelings for other people?

Personally I belive its one of the big 5-Jack,Kate,Sawyer,Locke or Ben.Can't be Jack[Lost has already jumped the stark too much in season 3, cant go that far] or Kate[Ditto].My moneys on Ben.

Creamy Goodness · 04-09-2007 6:40pm

it's either michael or walt, as it was in a black neighbourhood.

Definitely not the 'simple' answer

stevejazzx · 06-09-2007 1:15pm

if the majority of them left the island...well rose would die back in the real world but then she would have family..sawyr makes the most sense tbh...but kate wouldn't be that cold so my guess is...julia.

Fr Dougal · 06-09-2007 1:27pm

Can't remember the last episode exactly but I think it's Ben in the coffin, and think it's a flash back, not flash forward.
I remember having very good reason for this when the season ended, discussed it with guys in work and they understood the logic.....

This makes no sense as far as I can see.

4_tailed_fox · 06-09-2007 6:03pm

Everyone is trying to answer this puzzle but really the answer is in the question, remember the very first episode jack had to look after his father in the coffin well this is what he's trying to do with himself as an astral projection. The way to end it the same way it all begun and how many shows have done this, nearly all of them

So why does he meet up with Kate and tell her they should never have left the island? If they are just astral projections, why don't they just come back to their bodies on the island? Why is Jack falling around the place twisted drunk and addicted to Oxycodone? How can an astral projection get drunk or take drugs if it has no physical substance? I'm sorry but there are just too many holes in this theory.

Newaglish · 23-09-2007 6:17pm

Hasn't it been confirmed as a flash forward by the writers? And that the next season will be part flashbacks and part flash forwards?

Sad Professor · 24-09-2007 12:32pm

It could turn out to be almost anyone but I reckon it's Ben. Not only would he have no friends/relatives back in the real world but he wasn't popular amongst the Lostaways either so Kate's reaction makes sense. The question is how does he end up leaving the island and why does his death have such a profound effect on Jack?

My theory is that over the next 2 seasons we'll see a war between the Lostaways/Others and the freighter people (whoever they are). The Lostaways will lose the war and be faced with an ultimatum: go home and forget this place ever existed or die. This deal with the devil so to speak comes with terrible sacrifice however, the island itself, which falls into the wrong hands. This is the one thing Ben fought all his live to prevent, all the lies and terrible things he did, he did it all for the island.

But the Lostaways agree to the deal over Ben's objections and he gets sent back to the real world too where he dies dies alone or kills himself. Jack however becomes wrecked with guilt. He realises that Locke was right about coming to the island for a reason, they were supposed to protect it but instead they abandoned it to save themselves. This I believe sets up the final act/season in which everyone returns to the island to set things right.

That sounds pretty good and could work.

I applaud you sir. It might not be true but it makes sense and it possibly might happen unlike almost every other post on this thread

This sounds bang-on all right. the writers have said that the future flash we saw is set in stone and will happen. It would be a very downbeat way to end the series so the Losties will most likely return to try to retake the island. Sounds like a pretty good final season.
