Lost Theories Trying To Explain The Questions With Answers
By: Ryan Sayler
So, the fantasy football season is essentially over. I'll have to wait until NFL draft rumors kick in until I can start being wrong again. The NBA still tastes blah and as long as UNC is unranked, college basketball just breaks my heart. However, there is one thing coming up that should peak everyones interests, sports fan or not...the final season premiere of the TV phenomenon
Lost. I am as devoted a fan as anybody, so I thought I would continue my streak of wrong and take a few stabs at what the final season will have in store for us.
Who Is The Man In Black?
At the end of season 5, we saw Jacob (wearing a white shirt) sitting on a beach talking to a man wearing a black shirt. This man in black is apparently Jacob's nemesis as most people have come to realize. I would guess that this Man in Black (MIB) is also the black smoke monster as well as all of the dead people we have seen on the island (Walt, Christian Shepherd, Crazy Dave, and now John Locke). This would appear that everything on the island has been manipulated by MIB in order to eventually kill Jacob via John Locke. Season 6 will hopefully include the Islands inhabitants realizing that they have all been played as pawns in this game between two gods. The question is, why did Jacob apparently bring these specific individuals to the island. Because as we saw in the last episodes of season 5, Jacob interacted with a lot of the main characters before they came to the island and was apparently trying to control fate and bring them to the island, only to have one of them kill him. John Locke (Possessed by MIB). Speaking of the gods taking human form, is there a chance that Richard...is actually Jacob in a different human form?
Why does time not make sense on the Island?
From time travel to the helicopter leaving the island in season 4 and arriving on the freight ship 30 minutes later, and yet on the Island it seems like a full day. Nothing on the Island makes sense with time. Most of this can be attributed to "The Incident" and the weird magnetic flow on the Island. Still though, why is it that time is what is affected? People like Charles Widmore and those associated with him apparently know something is different about the Island, ergo the Dharma project. There is also the case of Desmond, how could he see Charlie's death before it happened and why was he switching back and forth between present time and his past life when he was on the freight? Whatever it is that is in the Island that causes it to travel time must be connected to Jacob and his nemesis somehow, it is just hard to tell how it is going to be explained.
Did the atomic bomb really go off?
The last thing we saw on Lost was Juliet detonating the atomic bomb by hitting it with a rock. The bomb apparently went off as the screen flashed to white and the black lettering of "Lost" popped up (inverted from the usual black background and white lettering). The real question is, the bomb actually go off? If it did, did it in-fact reset all of the events that happened that led to Jack and company coming to the Island? However, if it was Jacob who brought everyone to the Island (or his nemesis) won't they just find another way to bring everyone together? Chances are the bomb did go off, and we are going to see Jacob and his nemesis work around that event which will hopefully explain more of who they are and what they are doing on the island. And why that statue with 4 toes was ever on the Island...
