Lost Season 6

Lost
I have so many thoughts on Lost and the final seasons I just needed to write them out! First off how crazy is it that this is the last season! After 6 years (amazing 6 years) they will end the show and answer our questions! That is pretty dope! But now for some thoughts on lost...FYI there are SPOLIER ALERTS for those who haven’t seen the latest episode The Substitute. Many spoilers for other one but you’ve had time to see them now!

1st: what is going on with the parallel universe thingy? Well we knew things would be different this seasons. They hit us with flash back and showed how each person was connected to one another. Then they hit us with the flash forwards where we saw the life these people would lead after they left. Now we are getting what some call the flash sideways. Something that is happening at the same time. I hear the writers are not calling it a parallel universe because that would infer they were different. So some freaky lost stuff but I think it works. There is so much different about this universe yet so much familiar as well. The interactions we see with the others (who never made it to the island) and the losties (who also never made it to the island) is a great thing to see this season. (Desmond and Jack…I know Desmond wasn’t an other but he was on the island before the crash, Goodspeed and Claire, and now SPOLIER ALERT!!! Locke and Ben.) So is this universe a What If… or is it really what is happening? One note not my own but from Doc Jensen’s All about lost theory’s he points out how it seems The Sideways universe does have some connections with the island (kate see jack at the airport and has a look of…I think I know you, or jack meets desmond and they talk like they have met in the past!), plus something with mirrors in restrooms has been a theme this year (Jack looking in the mirror on the plane, Kate looking at the mirror in the gas station and SPOLIER ALERT!!! Locke looks in the mirror in the bathroom) I think it will all come together on a specific date for lost. (Special numbers! 4,8,15,16,23,42, 108)

2nd: So what is smoky/MIB/fLocke/Locke-ness monster? New and old question! We have seen big smoky since early on and now we are finding out more about him…but new questions arise based on the last episode (The Substitute) He makes some statements about himself (SPOILER ALERT!!!) I was once a man…I know how to feel…blah blah blah! So was he was a person that some how got suckered into being the island’s hitman? My belief about the feelings is that he knows them because of the identities he has taken on. But there are great theory’s on this out there. I love it though that the big smoky now has a character and identity. I loved in the substitute how you see this playing out.

3rd: Jacob…is he “God” of the island? And now is he dead? This is probably the greatest question that will be answered because I think this is the key to the whole island. Obviously we have heard the name Jacob for a while. He has had a presence on the island and in the lives of the plane crash survivors. Who is Jacob and why is he the islands “guardian” or “leader”? I believe that we will find out what the island is through Jacob. I think he along with smoky, Richard, and the dead spirits all play specific roles on this island and Jacob kind of takes on the main role here. We get and idea SPOILER ALERT!!! That Jacob brought the Losties there because he believes that they could replace him and possibly others to watch over and lead the island. I can’t wait to see this play out and see where the Jacob and Locke-ness story goes.

EDIT: Thought i forgot was what is up with the island in the sideways universe...it was underwater like we saw the first minutes of the opening episode...What happened? did the bomb sink it? if so why was so much of the island still intact? Great question that i am sure will be answered!

Well just a few thoughts. I have loved it so far…maybe knowing it will all end helps me enjoy each episode even more. All the little nuances in these episodes have been great as well (killer whale, polar bears…all the little easter eggs!). How will it end…most say everyone will die…I think some how the sideways universe will collide with the island universe where they will have all these memories of each other and remember the island. Although I love how Doc Jensen says it will end:

HOW WILL JOHN LOCKE'S STORY END?
His resolution is this: In the end, Locke will be resurrected and given eternal life and will assume Jacob's role in the Island's function. As I said two weeks ago: I predict the final scene of Lost will be a redux of the Jacob/Man In Black conversation on the beach scene from last season's finale — instead this time, it'll be John Locke in Jacob's place. As for his adversary, he'll be wearing a new identity — that of Benjamin Linus. It ends with this:

Fake Ben: Do you know how badly I want to kill you right now?

And then Locke looks at him with a knowing glint — and they laugh


Well that’s all I have for now. I am very pleased with this show and how its going to end. I want to buy the first 5 seasons now and watch them all in some crazy marathon. Here is a link to some great insight on Lost and where I get some of my info from…and where I got the hopeful ending.
