Season 4 finale

I’m going to just give a rundown of my thoughts on Lost’s 4th season and some overall theories running through my mind.

Jack is the “chosen” one, or the person that should have replaced Ben -

“Bad things happened after [Jack] left”. I’m guessing Locke came back to find Jack and Kate for two reasons:

To save the island he needs Jack to return. Jack is a real leader and he seems to have a bigger connection with the island compared to Locke, it’s hidden by Jack’s denial and Locke’s passion but after some gestures by Jack at the end of the final it seems he knows what the island can do. Example: Jack denying Locke could move the island when hurley brought it up at the end of the finale; seems to me like Jack knows more than he lets on.

Jack is in the family tree. I believe that his dad has a huge spiritual part of the island and it’s getting more apparent with him showing himself to Micheal–who’s never seen him–. The other two in the family tree: Claire and Aaron.

So Locke not only needs Jack back, to lead the island, but Aaron as well to me the islands future.

I agree with the wormhole theory from popular mechanics.

To make physics sense of the movement of the island in Lost, I assume that the island is actually connected to the South Pacific by a wormhole-like warp in space-time. (It doesn’t have to be a simple worm hole; it could be a warren of parallel and intersecting tubes.) Then, to move the island, all you have to do is move the wormhole connection, not the island itself. That’s what I think Ben did. He changed the nature of the space-time connection between the island and the rest of the world.

So the island didn’t disappear. It didn’t even move. Imagine that you are visiting a small town that you used to visit when you were young. You drive for miles, and never come to it. But it turns out the town has not moved. Rather, the highway now goes around it. That’s what Ben did—he changed the highway.

Jin will meet up with Farriday on the boat and they will eventually find the isand after some time passes and they pass the door.

Hurley is truely insane–off the island–but with the island’s healing powers he’s fine. A crackpot theory: Hurley has abilities like Miles and he can’t control it, on the island he can control it.

– Hopefully the others come back to me.

Early Season 5 Predictions

Locke (or someone else on the island) makes contact / has conversation with Jack and the O6 on Penny’s boat, before they take off on the raft. They spent a week on her boat before taking off again on the raft, and I’m betting we’ll eventually see a flashback to that week.

Jin is not coming back. Hopefully, at least; I think that would be cheesy.

The first sighting of Locke on the mainland will be inexplicably close to whenever the O6 return. This will seem odd until they reveal that the island shifted in time (possibly in addition to or instead of space), so that Locke is now “ahead of them” and could theoretically get back to the mainland before they did.

Miles will be a cool character; I think he stayed on the island because he has learned a lot about it during his brief visit. If he truly can communicate with dead people, he potentially now knows more about the island than anyone else on it at this point.

Faraday’s raft was close enough to the island to stay with it. Hoping to see something come of the similarity between faraday’s journal notes and the island map.

Maybe more to come later…
