LOST Season 6 - WTH?

Barkless Dog · #1 02-10-2010, 10:23 AM

Anyone thinks they understand or have a theory on what the heck is going on?

Alternate realities?

Different points in time that will somehow tie together?

Where is home for the man in black?

I'm guessing that there are parallel timelines going on right now. My theory, which will almost certainly be proven wrong, is that towards the end of the season, Jack will be shown the alternate reality in which the plane never crashed, and allowed to make a decision between which timeline will move forward.

I quit on it last year after watching every episode EVER, and am now watching those episodes to get back into it.

Ever since it went from slightly believable to big magnetic wheel that moves the island, I lost interest.

Good theory, Trooper!

Here's my theory, which is most likely invalid:

I'm not sure that the "alternate reality" is actually happening. It is just illustrating what would've happened had they not crashed in the first place, the goal being to show that no matter what you do, the same fate awaits you. However, they showed Desmond being on the plane, so that throws the usual monkey wrench into guessing what's going on (wouldn't he be sailing around the world in that race at that time??).

My current theory is that Jacob and "that other guy" are going to continue their duel, but in the bodies (souls?) of Sayid and Sawyer.

Why was the island underwater?

Was it the bomb blast?

Why is the colony like "Detriot"?

Did the bomb blast effect each reality differently?
Like they plane crash, the writers know full well the Island and everything on it would have been wiped out from a nuclear blast. No one survives a ground zero blast like that.

Maybe the alternate world will tie in with Fringe?

I will vomit if I have to see Sawyer & Juliet kiss one more time.

I quit after season 3, 100 questions, two answers per season = unsatisfied watcher. never again.

All I know is that if all turns out to be someone's dream, or it's just in the head of Hurley in a psych-ward, I'm going postal.

I plan on waiting until the last season comes out on DVD, then watching it all in four or five sittings. That way I can keep track of what's happening easily.

That show lost me a looong time ago.

I watched part of episode 1 and bailed forever. Have cheerfully avoided it.

I never even thought about that. Haha, this is a good possibility I think. I could see it as the very end it's just Hurley waking up on the plane when they land and it's some bizarre dream. Or something along those lines.

Last nights episode was, IMO, terrible. Bad writing, barely passable acting, and we learned NOTHING.

Apart from last night's show, I am a big fan of Lost. I agree that there must be some sort of parallel universe or something, but what was odd was on the "Previously on..." only the timeline on the island was shown.

Ya I never understood the whole polar bear crap. I love trippy stuff but this show is just stupid.

the only way that show is believable is if your drop fry eveytime you watch it , i started to hate that show to weird.

It was just an animal that was brought there for experiments.

I still think it is one of the best written shows that still draws you in, flaws in all.

I liked the X files, but remember how they tied that up?

Or Stephen King- a big alien spider!

I hope its not a big alien spider, or we are desendants of aliens.

The only redeeming part of this season for me is the Japanese leader of "the others". I think he is pretty cool.

Still the best show on TV - but it's frustrating to not know what exploding the H Bomb achieved...?

It may be parallel or it may be that one happens before the other - one line might be the eventual outcome and the other what leads up to it..?

So the stuff near the hatch seems to follow on directly from last season, but the plane stuff may well be in their "future" - Jack's hair is longer - which may be a clue. It was very short when the show started and gets longer throughout - the only clue to the real timeline for them...?

Thats the thing I kind of think that we are seeing are different timelines and not alternate realities, as they have done that previously on LOST....

Fringe is my other favorite right now

The Polar Bears were there to be trained to operate the wheel that allows the island to move. Just because you didn't watch the show long enough for an explanation doesn't make the show stupid. It just makes you impatient.

Wasn't Desmond in the hatch for years before the plane crashed? So, in that time, he could have sailed around the world---somehow ended up in Australia -- and got on the plane. He had several years to be at sea and make his way to Australia before the plane even took off.

I lost interest, but I'm still watching. I think that, since it didn't go in the direction that I was hoping, I started to lose interest.

I vaguelly remember an interview with the writers who promised that that wasn't the case. Though, I also remember them saying that not everything will be answered.
