It’s the end of Lost as we know it!  Soon we will no longer be Lost but still very confused as to what the hell happened in the past six years.  It’s been six years of confusing twists, weird explanations, and just the general feeling that manatees with volleyballs were responsible for picking out the plot.

This doesn’t mean the show has not been really amazing.

If I had to sum up the show, I’d sum it up as a sci fi mystery thriller with hints of comedy and suspense. Each season seemed designed to turn the show on it’s head, almost as if it was trying to taunt it’s own audience.  It was like the show was the TV version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal, as the show was observed it then had to change. In layman’s terms, if the show was a person it would say this:

Audience: hooray!  I know what’s going on!  The Island was host to some big science experiment!
Show: FUCK YOU IT’S MAGIC
Audience: ……….
Show: Not just magic but magic Ghosts. Yeah, hows them apples?
Audience: OK, so the magic ghosts-
Show: Highlanders.
Audience: What??
Show: It’s the Highlanders now…HAVEN’T YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION???

Fans of the show would agree with this.

But so many questions were left unanswered!  I mean, fuck…this show is having its series finale but leaving behind more questions than shows that end on cliffhangers.  Seriously, Heroes had a few questions behind when it ended but Lost is going to fill encyclopedias with unanswered questions and mythology.

Here are some of my biggest questions, and some possible answers will come after it.

1. What happened to Walt?  How did Linus know Walt would get rescued?
2. How did Hugo and Miles get their abilities?
3. Is it really magic, science fiction, or a bit of both? How did Jacob know the “spells” to grant powers to others?
4. What are Jacob’s powers?
5. What is the Man in Black’s real name and what is his history?
6. Why is Desmond in the parallel universe a big freaking dick?
7. How come no one else went into the Source and became separated from their body? Even on accident and with a guardian, there were years where no one guarded the Source and it was possible others could be created.
8. Who are the others the Man in Black was talking about? He wasn’t referring to the Others that lived on the island.

I am entertaining any answers you might have.
Spoilers Below…YOU WERE WARNED.

My final theory on the history of the island:

• The Source is a fragment from the creation of universe. It centered itself on the Island and mankind achieved sentience because of it. Sipping from the water gives you knowledge of everything and gives you immortality, which explains how Jacob and the Man in Black are able to manipulate events and see into the future.
• The reason physics on the island don’t conform with the rest of the world is because the Source is made up of strange quantum particles that change reality around them. Organic structures don’t decay on the island and some damage can be regenerated. The water causes people’s bodies to never get old.
• Jacob and the Man in Black were from some ancient Judeo Christian civilization.  They were from possibly 4000 B.C. though I don’t know how to date this accurately.
• After the separation of the Man in Black from his body, he became a spirit which manifested as an angry storm. He then became the representation of Baal and Apep to the civilizations that found him next.  When Egyptian explorers found the island he was confused with Apep (God of Destruction) and to appease him they built the massive statue of Taweret to appease him.  Man in Black uses the colonists who come afterwards to build the Temple, the Wheel, and the Ruins.
• Dharma Initiative learned about the island from records kept over the years from those who escaped the island and when it’s discovered they build the bases there. Their research sets up strange events throughout the world, such as the Bermuda Triangle.
• Man in Black influences each civilization that comes to the island to his own means, then eventually when they turn on him he destroys them whether in storm form or with corruption.  The Egyptian hieroglyphs of Anubis battling Apep show his battles.
• The Dharma Initiative is destroyed due to conflict with the Others who are the descendants of those who get lost on the Island. The Samurai was a businessman who became lost at sea after the death of his son, so he devotes himself towards alchemy and the pursuit of Bushido.
• The Dharma Initiative left the island when the majority of the base was killed off and Charles uses his outside resources to keep resources flowing to the island but keeps people from finding it.
• The Flash Sideways are just of a universe where the people get a better life. I have a theory that Jack is responsible for doing this after obtaining powers.
