Television Lost Finale (Incorrect-Spoiler Alert)
Posted by Greg Akers on Sun, May 23, 2010 at 3:29 PM
So, in advance of tonight's multi-hour series finale event, why not toss out a last batch of Lost predictions which will be proved hilariously wrong soon enough. This gets the usual spoiler alert: I never read what other people think is going to happen, so these stupid ideas are my own and not based upon anyone else's more informed guesses. If you've never watched the show, the following will read like gobbledygook produced by a noun generator.
— Jack won't be Jacob 2.0 for long. His election was rather easy and lacking in dramatic tension. He'll die (foreshadowed by the flash-sideways necks bleeds) and have to be replaced by one of the remaining candidates, who'll have a trickier time volunteering.
— The smoke monster proceeds to kill the rest of the candidates. Then, the smoke monster "wins," in some manner of speaking. He destroys the island. He defeats Jacob's Plan A: the candidates.
— In getting off the island, in some way the flash sideways is created. The flash sideways is part of the consequence of smoke monster destroying the island. The "hell" he creates destroys the original timeline universe as we know it. The reality of seasons one through five and all the people in it are effectively nullified. In its place, a new reality is made: the flash sideways. In this existence, all of the principles in the Lost story have been given access to the one thing they truly want. This is a temptation (the last temptation of the Christs?), and this reality will continue so long as the characters are satisfied with what is happening in it and don't try to fight against it. (The discussion between Desmond and Eloise at that party set-up earlier this season is the lynchpin for this theory.)
— The smoke monster wins. Except for Jacob's Plan B, his fail safe: Desmond.
— The flash-sideways universe is part of the FUTURE, not strictly an alternate reality. Desmond, hopping between the regular reality and the flash sideways, is in fact hopping through time like he always does. He's not traveling between realities, but to different times. The future time, which is the flash sideways, and the past, which is the stuff happening on the island. When the island was under the water at the beginning of season six, it's because it had just been destroyed by the smoke monster, and this new reality was begun.
— Desmond is "waking up" the people in the flash sideways. To thwart the smoke monster in the end, somehow. Not sure how all that works.
— The smoke monster is stopped after what happens at the big party in the flash sideways. Jack's there with his son and ex-wife (Juliet, I think). His son's piano teacher, Daniel Faraday, is there. Dogen and his son. Miles and his girlfriend (don't know who that could be — have we seen Dorrit in the flash sideways?) Charlotte, Penny, Charles and Eloise, Miles' dad, Kate and Hurley, Sayid and Desmond. Don't know how Jin and Sun and Locke and Ben get there, but they will.
— Ben hasn't gone bad. He got his long-sought revenge on Charles. Now he's just playing the smoke monster until things become more advantageous. He isn't a threat to Jack and Hurley et al.
— Sawyer, somehow, will end up staying on the island to protect it. He'll be the one to stay.
— Desmond will have to go into the light to save the island. Except that it won't turn him into a smoke monster like it did Jacob's brother (and their adopted mom, though not sure if they'll go so far as to explain that she was a smoke monster, too).
Questions I'd like answered:
— What was up with Walt?
— Is Christian as important as he seemed for so long? (is he a deus ex machina in some way?)
— Was the Dharma Initiative more important than just an awesome red herring that spanned several seasons?
— Tunisia? Tawaret?
— Other stuff too.

Beats the Hell out of me? Just a guess, but I don't think the smoke monster wins! I think Ben should stay and he probably will as he's been on that crazy island for way too long and just belongs there. My hope for the ending: They all return to the original flight, but remember every moment of the last 6 years like they have forced me to do. Now, that I'm brained washed, I look forward to the 3 or 4 movies that will surely get me just as involved.

ok its not the television show Lost Finale, it is the television show Lost Finally Over !!! Thank God...and oh please tell me its not true... a smoke monster ? Gee what an original scarey idea to use for a thriller...wow...oh wait...
From the outer limits tv show :
( next is from google) : "known for its unique monsters, breathtaking cinematography, superb writing, and talented actors comes a tale (It Came Out of the Woodwork), a tale of a "malevolent" and highly energized ball of dust, given "life" from a cleaning woman's vacuum cleaner. Though it's never explained how it happened, the show is one of the best of the first season (1963)."
ut oh so much for that great original idea...i am sure all the other great or dramatic or really weird/cool sci fi ideas on Lost also came from other shows or movies great ideas from some where else too..okay so keep watching these new dramatic tv shows folks...it was 6 years of Lost for some of you. wow 6 years...yup while the aliens from outer space (real info) invade your world, while muslim terrorist sympathizers run your government (the phony obama and the idiot atty gen. Holder) and while the world bankers and stock market insiders steal EVERYONE'S money with the help of the democrat ran congress of the USA (yea fannie mae and freddie mac, names that sound like candy bars but these slick trick programs have stolen billions of your tax dollars and your parents money too)Do you know about it ? No not you.. you know about the TV show lost or the words to some rap songs...wow. you all know about every stinking episode of Lost while your government was taken over by idiots and morons and anti-social psychopaths...bravo young america...hope and change.we of the older generation want to thank you so much for voting...not really.
So... dont let the real world details bother you,you are different, you are young (maybe), politically correct people. You think the world was created just for you and you have a cell phone in your ear constantly. You must be entertained in some way all the time... when you drive, when you walk down a street, while you are in a store a cell phone is in your ear...pathetic aint it ? yea it is...keep entertaining yourself, you are so worth it arent you ? while you play games and dont think or read the news properly your world is going to hell in a handbasket...sad aint it ? yea it is...and yes you might be ... Lost. -- DERR UFO (grumpy old man ).
"...while the aliens from outer space (real info) invade your world..."
holy crap, i really missed the memo on that one.
I thought "Lost" referred to the audience. Is there a TV show anymore that isn't too insipid to attract an audience?
Do you know why we have aluminum foil instead of tin foil? Because tin foil blocked the mind control waves. Aluminum foil doesn't. Therefore, tin foil was replaced with aluminum foil.
It's true. I read it online.
Wow. I'd say some of our commenters here have been down in a hatch pressing buttons for waaaaay too long. Or maybe that's where they SHOULD be. Good luck with that whole "aliens from outer space" and "phony Obama" thing, UFO guy.
