I was not always a Lost fan. In fact, three years ago I thought Lost was a cultish, awful show that sucked people in and spit out obsessed, marketable fans of every age group. That was before I had watched a single episode. Then, through word of mouth, I heard that many fans were abandoning the series because it got too confusing and unfollowable due to its new relationship with time travel. That's when I decided it was okay to start watching it.
So while season 5 aired, I got caught up on seasons 1 through 4; and then before the 6th season aired, I watched the 5th. So now we are back in the present (both in my recounting and in the show's current season. Well, technically back to 'the present' in Lost is more like 2004 or 2005, I suppose) and the final few episodes of the final season are airing in the next few weeks. So here is where I make predictions that I can either be proud of when they come true, or laugh at my misdirection when they prove false.
SPOILERS, but really no one reads this blog anyway, so SPOILERS!
So what will happen in the final 3 episodes, approximately four hours, of the show? We've probably gotten all we will get about the 'mythological backstory' of the island. The 'rules' of the smoke monster are very likely what Jack guessed: he can't kill them directly, just push them into situations where they kill themselves. Very likely, I'd bet that by the beginning of the last episode, only Jack, Sawyer, and Kate will be alive, and the smoke can kill Kate, so he might use Kate as leverage to force Sawyer to kill himself. So prediction 1: all mains will be 'dead' except Jack by the last 45 minutes of the last episode.
But no one would sponsor a show with that depressing of an ending. Jack's said repetedly that he's willing to be the new 'Jacob' and stay on the island to keep SM under wraps, but I don't see that happening. More likely, Desmond does something silly and psuedo-sciency like going down to the 'island core' or the 'wheel' that moves the island and breaks it. The ensuing EM energy released links all the consciences of the Lost cast to their alternate-reality versions we've been seeing clips of throughout this season. They'll all be 'safe' and 'alive' but retain their memories of the island and their deaths. Perhaps the EM energy will 'destroy' the reality that has been the show of Lost for the past 6 seasons, leaving the characters' conciences only 1 reality to cling to. If this does happen, I suspect Desmond will be isolated in the destroyed reality, acting as some sort of 'lock' to keep the SM inside of it.
Okay, that prediction was a little bit too detailed, and probably will not come true now that I've put that much thought into it. But for a more realistic prediction, can we all agree that SM will not get off the island and will be thwarted by the candidates? Or is that too vauge?
Final prediction of today: SM destroys Whitmore's entire team, but Whitmore (probably in death for drah-mah) scoffs and says something like 'it doesn't matter, everything is going as planned' reffering to the fact that he knows he will revert back to the alternate reality if Desmond succeeds. Oh, and probably in someone's final breath (glasses lady? i don't remember her name) they destroy both the sub and the plane.
Whelp! That's all I have for now. I'll see soon enough how much is just a bunch of crap!

The glasses lady's name is "fake Tina Fey." You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteI was always thinking that the new King of the Island would be Jack, Sawyer, or Hurley. Then, the show narrowed it down.... by killing off the people who weren't Jack, Sawyer, or Hurley. THANKS LOST! It's like in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when you're caught between two choices and you use the 50/50 lifeline, and the two it leaves are the two you were caught between.
Although, from the beginning of the season I always thought it was possible that the Island world and the Flashsideways world would merge, so characters who were dead on the Island would be replaced by their Sideways selves, and that the Sideways Locke would save the day on the island. And I still think that's possible. Although I think it's more likely that one of the worlds is going to "come true" for the characters. The question is which one? You seem to think it's the Sideways World, but I bet it's the Island world.
ALSO: I think it's possible that Island Jack dies. Remember in the premiere of this season, when Sideways Jack was on the plane and he noticed a weird wound on his neck? I've been thinking that maybe in the finale Island Jack will sustain a mortal wound to the neck. Just a thought.
