How will Lost end? Theory alert!!

tony1kenobi

Stolen from another forum but put your ideas here.

How will Lost end?

For me I think all of the original Losties will end up staying on the Island and that we will find out why. So much back and forth for so long that the onus is no longer on merely escaping from the Island (some of them already have) but realizing why they are on the Island.

That's my amateur reckoning. I am interested to learn everyone elses wild imaginings..............

[-0-]

I reckon the last episode will be the first episode.

Anima

Personally I don't like to commit myself to an idea, especially in Lost, because there is so much room for change with the writers. We know by the time the 1st episode airs, that the original losties aren't on the Island so where do they go? Impossible to tell, they must leave the Island or be killed off.

By the looks of things, the losties will be out of Dharmaville soon as there guise has been given up. The incident is going to happen in 4 hours and Kate, Sawyer, Jack etc are going to attempt to prevent it because of Daniel. If the past cannot change then the incident is going to happen regardless. Which means the losties must cause it, or help it happen.

However, Daniel has said that the Losties are variables which can change the equation/future. For anyone following the Lost Experience, they will know that the scientists have been trying to change the "equation" to extend life on Earth and all that jazz.

So I figure that between now and the end of series, the timeline is going to be altered and everyone is going to live happily ever after LAWL

Its all just a dream

I think Lost will end with them averting the plane crash, and the final scene will be the passengers of 815 getting off the plane with brief flashforwards showing their lives sans-island. Tenner bets!

Fingers crossed nothing as cringey as some Jack/Kate flirtation is involved eh?

Mr.Nice Guy

I reckon it will likely end up being that the rest of the Losties get off the island but that Jack and Locke must stay and go back to the events of the first episode. From watching the first episode it seems to me that Jack and Locke know too much about the island up until their confrontations with the Monster when they seem to forget everything (or at least important things that could disrupt events). I think effectively both Jack and Locke sacrifice themselves to a timeloop.

I suspect another big reveal will be that Jacob is in fact Jack, perhaps sent back from the original Oceanic plane crash and stuck in some sort of warped timeframe. This I think is why Christian and Claire hang about Jacob's cabin and why Jacob wants Locke to help him.

Of course I could be wrong.*

*Obligatory comment to save face later when it's revealed to be very wrong. :pac:

Tragamin2k2

I think the writers are trying to throw people off with this whole "stopping the crash" thing. Why would they do that and make everything thats happened so far irrelevant? And what benefit would it be to the losties that are now in the 70's, its not as if if they stop the incident and stop the hatch then theyll magically be transported to their normal lives in 2007 with the plane crash having never happened.

Faraday could be lieng aswell anything is possible in lost. I think something is going to happen in the next few episodes to turn the story in a completely different direction, to do with sayid or locke and co

Mr. Incognito

Faraday's death spurns the others into helping to move the bomb to destroy the energy source.

Locke is probably Jacob and Richard also survives- maybe that's why he never ages?

The last episode is probably them destroying the island and the plane landing safely with them all going on their way.

I have images of them all waiting for their baggage at the carousel and one by one getting their bags and heading off in the order of minor characters first maybe Kate and Jack being the last two.

It will end as it began, on a plane.

Will they make a movie after the next series to finish it off?
with potential earnings its a possibility.

I bloody well hope not. A movie would have to be dumbed down to appeal for a generic audience who haven't been watching the show and I think it would ruin it

It's a pretty strong rumor that they are finishing up with a movie to end the final series.
There's enough Lost viewers that they could just market it to them and still make money off it, os if they were just aiming for that audience they shouldn't have to dumb it down.

Other than that it might be a movie, I don't have a bleeding clue how it will end.

Handsome Bob

I believe that Desmond is still a big player in this show because as Faraday told him, the rules don't apply to him. He is the game-changer. I believe that at the end he will somehow figure out how to consciously send his mind back to the moment wher he failed to push the button, but this time he will push it. So my thinking is in line with those who say that it will end with 815 not crashing and landing as planned. All this talk of Desmond always saying to Penny "I'll never leave you again" has a sense of foreboding for me too, he ironically will leave her. Forever this time.

Personally this is how I see it, Desmond sacrificing his own happyness for everyone else. But I would prefer a happier ending with Jack, Locke and co. accepting their role is on the island forever.

PetKing

Stopping the plane from crashing is all a bit of a red herring IMO, and as far as I know, by the end, it WILL have all happened. Tv shows have done single episodes where they erase what happens, but I (and a lot of others) would refuse to accept the whole series being wiped out. A bit too Booby Euwing coming out of the shower.

As for ending with the crash... wtf? That ending needs a bit more fleshing out, it doesn't make any sense on it's own right now.

ya stopping the plane crash is a bit meh, unless of course as a result of this something crazy happens to course correct or something making them all come back to the island..(again:rolleyes:)

I think its safe to say that we dont have enough information yet to even guess how its gonna end, cant wait for the end of this season , finales usually have crazy endings, hope they can top last season.

Was sitting here reading these comments and drinking a cup of tea when the following idea jumped at me.

2004, Oceanic 815 crashes after entering the Island's sphere of influence.
2004, Ben moves the Island using the Donkey Wheel.
Island can no longer be found, until Eloise Hawking helps the Oceanic 6 (in 2007) to get back.

So, why don't the Losties move the island again, in lets say 2001, there by altering its exact location for when Flight 815 enters in 2004.

If Jack/Sawyer etc realise this, and Faraday's theory is correct, it would cause the Island to change on to a different loop and not be in the exact location it was, when 815, entered it's area.

I know, they are kinda doing that now by blowing up the Swan Station, ( i think that is what it is called ), but if they just wait until it was complete and then turn the donkey wheel, nothing blows up and 815 will not enter the same loop as the island.

Also, by turning the Donkey Wheel again, time may synchronise correctly, because the appropriate entities are on the island and by turning the wheel it will adjust accordingly. As in, Jack/Sawyer/Kate will be returned to 2007 with the remaining people in their timeline.

If they move the island in 2001 as you say then that means that it has already happened and Oceanic will crash anyway because the island will probably be where it is as a result of their actions.
I think they will keep trying to change things, but as with Charlie - destiny/fate/the powers that be will lead things to happen the way they should.

ben bedlam

I think it would be a bad idea for the writers arrange for the plane crash never to have happened, it would be a poor final payoff and make the events of the whole show pointless. I do think though, that the two skeletons in the cave in Season 1 will be revealed to be two major characters who might sacrifice themselves- the writers have hinted that they have intentions for the skeletons.

Sad Professor

My purely speculative theory for the 5th season finale:

As a result of the Losties attempts to sabotage the Swan, I think the "Jughead" bomb is going to go off in 1977. The resulting radiation would explain the fertility problems and why Kelvin was going around in a environmental suit. The island's healing powers lessened the worse effects of it but not everything. But most of the radiation would be cleared up by 1988 when Rousseau arrives.

However the yield of the h-bomb would have to be pretty low to explain how Dharmaville wasn't destroyed. Or perhaps it goes off underground or something.

I also think Rose and Bernard will get left behind in 1977 (if that's where they are) and become Adam and Eve. I hope they get this skeleton mystery out of the way now. I don't want any more time travel next season and I always hated the idea that Adam and Eve are Jack and Kate.

For the 6th season finale:

I don't really know. Hopefully the arrival of some sort of Randall Flagg figure (perhaps Jacob or his opponent). I've been harping on about this for years now. This show needs a really big villain and Widmore ain't it.

JLemmon

I think it will be a shock ending but not in the unanswered questions type of ending, when studied it will make sense in relation to all that has happened.
It will involve Locke and Jack, I think we will all agree on that pretty much.
I don't think they will cheat or trick people i.e. a dream. Maybe back on the plane but with Jack and Locke as the pilots!
What ever the ending I think it will satisfy for the casual viewer but will make sense when analysed by the experts
Like the Sopranos, did Tony live or die? you make up your own mind and it will satisfy you whichever you want to believe. The big phrase in the last season of the sopranos was "You'll never see it coming", I reckon we should look out for a similiar occurrance here, an idea that keeps being mentioned.
Let's hope it's a brilliant mindf**k of an ending to justify our patience all this time.

me-skywalker

3 warring sides

Oldies - 1) Widmore & Eloise Islanders 2) Jacob & Richard

Jacob is Locke who travels further back in time and sacrifices himself to learn everything about the island to save itself from being destroyed in the war between Dharma(who want to study its powers) & the others (who are to takeover the island)

Farady has said the past cant be change but the future can! They can prevent the plane from crashing which will mean 'them' will never have crashed and all the lives will continue as normal. But their 'present day selves' will continue to live their days out on the island until the very last episode where something happens and they are found.... by APES!!!

3rd warring side is their older selves all meet up in the future to make sure that their present day selves will never come off the island! otherwise one of the 2 would die with both believe each to be the 'real' one.. but who is it really.


meh head melt..........

Bawpsherep

I think the final scene this season will be the failed detonation of the Hydrogen Bomb and a resultant massive release of electro-magnetism. The Losties will, be captured and all grouped together, held at gunpoint by Dharma/The Others as this happens. Due to the Losties previous experiences with the hatch and their skips through time, they will all undergo exactly what Des did in "Flashes Before Your Eyes" and "The Constant". Their consciousnesses will all collectively leave their bodies and jump to an important event we have already seen. The people in 1977 will see the group of Losties collapse "dead" in front of them. Cut to Sydney Airport in 2004 and Jack is confused, he looks and sees Kate, Hurley, Jin, Sawyer, who all recognise each other and try their best to stop the plane from taking off........ or something like that.

Psychedelic

I like that idea Bawpsherep about all the losties getting flashes and mind/time travelling consciousness like Desmond got, definitely a good possibility.

If the bomb goes off and there's radiation on the island, then how does dharma manage to complete the building of the swan station? It would be tricky enough to complete building of the swan if is was half blown up and the workers had to build it wearing protective suits.

At what point between 1977 and the purge (1992 I think) do dharma return to the island? I think, like you said, it will go off underground, very deep underground, so that the island isn't destroyed but the radiation will have an effect.

If the radiation from the bomb is gone by the time rousseau arrives, then how does that explain failed deliveries of children up to 2004, when Juliet last failed to help a woman deliver a child on the island?

Is the bomb just a red herring about the incident? We learn about Daniel's plan 2 episodes before the finale, and some people might have guessed from the jughead episode that the incident is the bomb going off. So is it too obvious to be the bomb? I think the writers will do something different, though hard to say what that could be.

I never liked the idea that the skeletons were jack & kate either, but i'd be a bit disappointed if it was rose & bernard, my two least favourite characters in the whole show. And what do the black & white stones mean? I hope the skeletons tie in to a bigger mystery somehow, I'd hate for it to be something fairly insignificant after 5 seasons waiting to find out, much like most of the show's mysteries.

PetKing

As far as I remember, the skeletons were the easiest way to show the audience that Darlton always had a rough plan of the show from the outset. A big complaint levelled at the show (nto by me!) was that they have (and still are) making it up as they go along.

Liber8or

Psychedelic wrote: »

I reckon the black and white stones were just a symbol/hint for opposites, like opposite poles on a magnet. Magnet, referring to the electro-magnetic forces on the island and its affects on the outside world.

To be honest, i reckon the two bodies would, more likely, be Sawyer and Juliet. Since both have had opportunities to leave the island, but didn't for their own reasons. They eventually resign to the fact that they will never leave the island, and, therefore, die together on the island.

JLemmon

As a second opinion on this,
I reckon that the islands story will be wrapped up in an episode before the
final episodes. In that we will be given the islands history and flashbacks possibly none of the cast in that episode except maybe locke.
My theory on the islands story is that an ancient civilisation lived on the island, these beings now reside in the temple and take a host body if they want to move around, i.e. like Ben. All the others are "hosts" so to speak and the bodies age slower on the island (Richard) due to it's properties, but if you leave or are banished (widmore & eloise) then you begin to age as normal (Tir na Nog type effect). This host body idea would explain Christian also, but the spirits\beings only take a body if they want to move around outside of the temple area in the temple they can assume a likeness as we have seen, other then that they are happy to stay in the temple. Some bodies are needed outside to maintain & protect the island.
My two cents
P.S. Agree with Sad Professor, the emergence of a Randall Flagg\Q type figure (meaning someone who has always been around) would be great and not widmore, but it would have to make sense to the viewer and be able to be traced back thru the series, I had hoped Matthew Abadon would be this figure, so Jacob it maybe.

Agamemnon

If the nuke isn't used at the end of this season, maybe it'll be saved for the end of Season 6. The whole island will be destroyed by it and the only way for anyone left on the island to survive will be to go even further back in time and live out their lives in the distant past. So whatever Losties elect to stay on the island (Locke, Sawyer & Juliet probably) will end up becoming the ancestors of the present-day Others.

Another possibility would be the volcano erupting - it was mentioned at one stage that it's still active. Having the island fried by lava would be an interesting end but this might only happen if the writers and SFX people think they can pull off a convincing volcanic eruption on a tv series budget.

James Howlett

I know this is a little off the topic but;

Also SPOLIER alert for anyone who did not watch sunday's episode...

Did anyone see that comic-con LOST video of Pierre Chang being filmed by Daniel? Basically the video is of Pierre telling whoever is watching the video that they must finish what DHARMA started. He also mentions the purge and knows what will happen.

The odd thing is that you can hear Daniel directing and arguing with him but given sunday night's episode how can this event now happen?
Pierre's first awareness of being around people from the future occurs in this episode and in the same episode Daniel gets offed.

Ok a new(ish?) theory sort of occured to me there. This may have been speculated on other sites or here even but I can't claim to have read about it anywhere else, I'm not claiming to personally read every single opinion and theory but here goes....

What if everything that has happened has been influenced by the Losties of 815. they have arrived back in time and it's slowly getting revealed that they are from the future. Though Jack may think he needs to follow through with Farraday's plan, what if he/they learn what they need to know about the island and it's importance and realise that everything that happened needs to keep happening that way (the whole time loop that they are in). Maybe this is due to the impending "War" that is always referred to and in present day, it is important that people like Locke etc are present.

The Others always had great knowledge of people and what would happen, what if they were being fed this information by the Losties, who never subsequently jump back to 2007. Maybe they remain and keep hidden from themselves when they eventually crashland. If they stay there and age the 30 years then they have a wealth of information of future events ouside the island (hence Widmore and Ben etc being able to get so rich easily) and inside the island. This could in turn be how Hawking and Widmore have a vested interest in Desmond. Jack can tell them about him and what he did. He wasn't merely the guy Widmore didn't want dating his daughter, he knew he had to motivate him to end up on the island and causing 815 to crash.

Obviously why the Others kidnap many of the 815 survivors is a mystery, maybe Jack and co say that these people didn't participate in the events following on so the Others take them out of the equation to keep them from harm or messing things up.

I'm only speculating and throwing this idea out there to discuss. There could be a thousand holes in this idea, if so what are they.

me-skywalker

Thats a good one Homer - Two thigns with it.

1 - i believe the whole notion of them not wanting the plane to crash is completly obvious because they woudlnt want to put 'themselves' through this again... and then them off island(as kids now) wen they all reach that point it goes off as normal because they have averted it and the on island losties now in their 60's are still on the island delighted they saved the crash.

2 - if the plane was to crash as it did with them then the 'new' batch of themselves would do everything exaclty the same as the 'old' ones because thsi si what they have done. just keepin it in the loop on and and on and there woudl be several versions of themselves all 30yrs apart. ??

1 = Paradox, 2 alternate timelines with different versions of themselves existing at once, can't be possible (ok I'm no scientist but in the writers logic this isn't something they are going to do).

2- It's already shown that Miles is existing in the same time as himself as a kid and could interact with him if he chose. So yes there is every possibility that old version of the Losties could be on the island the same time as their younger selves when they crash in 2004.

I really don't think the ending will involve a changing of the timeline or the losties stopping flight 815 crashing in 2004. To me, this goes against everything the writers have said. I know we have seen the idea of people thinking they can change the timeline and trying to do it but I am 99% certain this will not happen and everything will happen as it should do and likely their actions will cause the incident and so on.

I heard an interview with Darlton saying the endgame of the show has always been the characters and coming to terms with whatever flaws they have etc. Just think of all who have died such as Charlie, eko, Michael etc who redeem themselves. I think the ending will be fairly complex, there will be no 1 defining omg mindf*ck scene and you will not be able to sum it up in 1 line.

I think Jack will finally meet Christian Shephard and come to terms with the fixation to fix everything. Kate will leave, settle somewhere and stop running. Juliet will get off the island and settle down with Sawyer. Locke will stay on the island or maybe sacrifice himself for it. Ben and Widmore will destroy each other. I can see Aaron and Walt having an involvement, future leaders or something. Desmond and Penny become Adam and Eve. Sayed will die but will sacrifice himself for someone and finally Hurley, hmmn not sure, he goes on a diet or something like that.

I suspect another big reveal will be that Jacob is in fact Jack, perhaps sent back from the original Oceanic plane crash and stuck in some sort of warped timeframe. This I think is why Christian and Claire hang about Jacob's cabin and why Jacob wants Locke to help him.

Of course I could be wrong.*

If it is one continuous stream that they are travelling back and forth along, and Dan's reference to time being lieka broke record that it was jumping, if they are now back on that stream travelling forward im going to hazard a guess that Locke,Sun,Ben et all that are now in 2007 Stay there in 2007.
and Jack/Sayid/Hurley/Miles et all will cotinue to exist on island from 1977 forwards.

I'm just watching the first episode now, I'm liking this theory, Jack would be the favourite right now imo, may see how ep 2-4 pan out, from what I can remember though I would say Hurley or Locke could easily fit the bill too.

jor el

I don't know how it might end, but if the ending is a "reset" style, they never made it on to the Island in the first place, Dallas type one, I'd be very seriously pissed off.

Assuming Locke and Jack are still there, and alive (or as alive as a dead man can be), I could see them both making the decision to stay, especially if Jack has a meeting with his dead father at some point before the end.
