I gave up on Lost a long time ago after it started getting ridiculously all over the place. I have a theory the writers will never reveal what's really going on at the end as they have not been very good at understanding and coming up with the true meanings themselves. In fact, some of the fan's ideas and theories over other now/nearly solved mysteries were much better than what some of the writers came up with.
It makes me ultra sad that this is coming to an end. I think the final scene will have everyone land safely at Los Angeles, and brushing past each other as they collect their luggage, not realising who they are with some slow motion and some epic music. It's going to be well sad.
Why was Desmond on the plane, if it got reset?
Bomb = Alt Time line maybe.
Can someone explain to me what the basic plot of Lost actually was/is now? I got "lost" in the first episode...
I thought this aswell, the sound effects between them on the plane and the island wasn't neither the flashforward or flashbackward sound. Paralalalel universe shenanigans.
Bomb = Alt Time line maybe.
Des was on the plane up until the point Jack saved Charlies life. As a result of him not dying on the plane. Desmond was no longer apart of that plane journey.. hmm?
Is this the official lost S6 thread now?
Spoilers if you havent watched tonights ep.
I was quite pleased with the episode 1 ending as it was almost identical to how I thought the whole season would end
Couple of questions
Why didn't Charlie interrupt Rose and Jack chatting on the plane? Surely they wouldn't of forgot to add it in? Which is why I was surprised when I saw him. And I thought he poured the drugs away instead of swallowing them, whats going on?
Why was Desmond on the plane, if it got reset?
The main theory going round is that the 'alt timeline' as such, is in fact the end of the series, in that the Losties back on the island will succeed in their task of making sure Oceanic flight 815 never crashes. Did you not notice how the island was underwater when the plane was flying over it? And if the island is underwater, it's happened between 1977 and 2004, so it could have possibly taken Charles Widmore with it, therefore there is no Penny, no boat race, hence Desmond being on the flight and not on the island pushing the button (or failing to) and causing the crash.
I think they won't answer everything, and in fact I would prefer it if they didn't. Sometimes the mystery and what you imagine is far better than getting a concrete answer from the writers. I don't think they'll explain what the numbers mean really.
Also why did Locke lie about going on the walkabout? Doesn't seem like something he'd do.
Last thing, how/why did Juliet suddenly die?
-Spoilers if you havent seen the first two season 6 eps -
In the 'alternate reality' when Jack meets Desmond on the plane and asks if they've met before - was that because they have met before but don't remember it at that moment (ie. they met in that stadium some years ago), or was it some sort of hint that the two realities are still connected somehow. Hmm
