LOST is with no doubt going down into the history books as one of the most critically acclaimed and groundbreaking shows of the past decade. The final episode, “The End” isn’t just as literal as the meaning to “end” but also synonymous to the beginning of an end. The battle lines are drawn as Flocke and Jack Shepherd put the island’s destiny into place. The final episode showing Benjamin and Hurley talking about how they served their time as the island’s guardians depicts that, the island still does exist and probably led by another chosen person or maybe it found other candidates, who knows?
Special shout out to LOST writers, Jack Bender, Damon Lindelof and the rest. At least y’all made sure that after the end, we are still left blogging, buying LOST past dvds and spreading the LOST gospel. We appreciate that lots of questions were answered but a can of new emerging questions was left unopened!
Here are the top 10 :
1. Jacobs brother (MIB) who turned into the black smoke, did he ever have a name?
2. Jacob’s real mum, and fake evil mum, where were they from? How did they get to the island?
3. Was Dharma initiative a fail whale? I mean what good ever came out of their experiments? and for whose benefit?
4. Who supplied the food with the Dharma initiative logos from the sky and how did they manage to do that? The gods?
5. Who were the people living in the Egyptian temple? Seas6. and why did the black smoke kill them all?
6. What were the Egyptian artifacts all about? Did they have any significance?
7. What happened when the bomb went off? How the hell did Juliet survive through it?
8.When the Flight oceanic 815 crashed was Sawyer an undercover cop or a real con?
9.Where and how did Jacob get his powers from? What powers did he exactly have? Did anyone who took over guarding the island automatically then have powers? Did he have the power to give life by touch? Rem the Ricardo episode?
10.Why was Michael and Vincent absent at the church in the end, if it really was a journey of all the characters? At least we know Benjamin refused to attend the church service willingly…
Black Roses 
I love LOST always wanted to watch it but was so lost-ironically. so i started from the beginning on hulu and watched up to like season 5 and was hooked. I started season 6 like 2 weeks ago but it wasn’t keeping my attention like b4. and yeah have always wondered about what u mentioned. nway love your blog i just started one like3 hrs ago as i am posting this. hopefully u can check it out and leave me some advice.
1. Nope, MIB didnt have a name.
5. the people at the temple had been brought to the island i assume, just like everybody else i guess.
6. I think the Egyptian artifacts were just symbolic & carried the story.
7. When the bomb went off, nothing happened, cause you cant change the past. whatever happened, happened.
8. A lot of people have proved to me that Sawyer was a cop in th 1st crash. In the eps that we saw him as a con, he actually did run from the police and we never saw a real bust as we did in season 6. but then again, the world where we see Sawyer as a cop was just purgatory, so Sawyer has never really been a cop. But then again, he had to hide his real reason for going to Australia, so i believe in my own little way that he might have been a cop.
9. I think Jacob could bring someone back to life as he did with Locke when he fell out of the window. He obviously can give a man eternal life as we saw in Ab Aerterno, which he literally. And in previous seasons where we saw him go around the world and touch all the candidates, i think that was to protect them to be safe before they were eliminated as candidates.
10. I think Michael is still on the island. He did say he had unfinished business, same as Linus. Well, i think it would’ve been weird if we saw a dog in the church, so i guess that’s why we didnt see Vincent. but if you mean Walt, Maybe he isnt dead yet. (We didnt really know the time they were in the church). He was the youngest of the characters and maybe he still is somewhere in th world. 🙂
1. Yeah, i realised BUT he should have had a name!
5. They had been brought to th island, when and by whom? They seemed quite different from the survivors and the ‘OTHERS’ so thats till a mystery!
8. You stated very clearly that In the eps that we saw him as a con, he actually did run from the police and we never saw a real bust as we did in season 6. Rem that seas 6 was a limbo meaning that in real life he was a con but in his next life he would be a cop. I think that the real reason why he hid the reason as to why he went to Australia was beacause he was ashamed of his Dad, no one would be proud of such a dad! That brings me to yet another unresolved mystery, how did Windmore get Sawyers’s dad to the island, and WHY?
9. You have answered this so damn well, i applaud you but then does that mean that as soon as you are no longer a candidate you die, even if Jacob had touched you?
10. Your answer right here almost made me cry, i just realised that Walt never died, but shouldnt they have waited for him to attend the service, or could it be that he will never die as you can remember he had special powers from the word go even in the real world, something no any of the Flight 815 survivors ever had 🙂
AMAZING!
what do you mean Sawyer wasnt proud of his dad? didnt his dad die when he was a kid? besides, i know he went to Australia to look for Sawyer(Snr). But you’re right, considering what we learned what ssn6 was, th cop or con theory shouldnt really exist, cos him being a cop isnt a fact in th 1st place.
I think akina Jacob in th Across The Sea ep looked different cos that was a really long time ago(same way Ricardus looks different in Ab Aerteno). ama what d’you mean by look different. i guess they were brought to th island just like everyone else (in th form of an accident). Its just that since twas a long time ago, & they couldnt come through a plane crash, so they came in a ship or something. in my opinion, i dont think the ‘where’ did they come from can always be answered, cos that would mean they’d have to keep going back just to tell that story. i think they just tried answering that by telling us where Jacob came from, & who he took over from,(his ‘mother’), & that th cycle of people coming to th island..
…is ongoing & that it’ll still continue. BTW, i also find it clumsy that they jsut let him not have a name. but Man In Black is a cool name i guess. who brought them to th island? i think its Jacob’s ‘mother’. she taught Jacob & assigned to take over th island’s protection, & was th one who gave him th ‘drink’. i think that obviously means she was th leader,& i guess that means she brought Jacob’s real mom to th island cos she was looking for a replacement. so i guess that answers the ‘why’ & ‘who’, no?
I have never known why Cooper was brought to th island.(btw,he was Locke’s dad,not Sawyers dad.he was just th reason Sawyers parents died) As for how he got there. in ssn3 we learnt of a sub & that people actually came to & from th island, which was explained when they showed Juliet’s story & how she ended up on th island, remember?
I guess people die on th island when they do what they were meant to do on it. so if Jacob touched some of th people cos he thought they were candidates & fit to lead or…
…he did it because he wanted to keep them safe until they fulfilled their destiny, i dunno. but we were clearly told they were candidates, so i guess that confuses me too.
wait for Walt? hmm, i never thought of it that way, but then again they only realized they were in purgatory after th flashbacks. so i dont think they were consciously waiting for anyone. & they left immediately they all realyzed what’s up. also, did you notice there were other people in th purgatory who didnt make it to th church & it wasnt really explained, like Anna Lucia. but i guess th thing is, they cant really explain everyone’s issue individually, so they just use character. so i guess Anna’s story can be covered by Ben’s, they werent ready i guess.
Walt was special, i was bummed that that wasnt explained. but i have a feeling he may be th island’s next protector. maybe akina Hugo left him th job
Okay, for Sawyer i think i almost got confused right there, i have just remembered that the dad died a lonnng time ago when he was a kid…
Good theory, if we knew where Jacob and the mum came from then that would answer the question of the islands human inhabitants genesis. I meant the guys in the temple looked different starnage not like it was an ancient time as much as it obviously was but like they wouldnt fit with the others and the survivors, like they were backward or something like they were in a cult..
And i just remmbered the sub that was taking people to the island, that expains how Jack’s dad came to the island but i guess what remains a mystery is why they brought him, at that time werent they were tryig to test Sawyers faith, that with the island anything is possible.. thats my theory
I agree with you that Walt was wat to special to be left unraveled, but it must mean that he had a greater purpose in the world or rather in th island, his special powers must have had to be of use later on. I honestly fel like LOST ended prematurely, there was still room to answer some questions, or maybe this ws the writers style that it would end hanging so we would all remain with quizes to ask each other…
1. No, he never had a name.
2. Real mom came from somewhere within the Roman Empire around the year 1 AD during a shipwreck. Remember, the island moves and has been in the Atlantic, as shown by the Lamppost floor pendulum map and Ab Aerteno since Richard shipwrecks while sailing from the Canary Islands (off the north-west African coast) to Central/North America. Evil fake mom, my theory is she shipwrecked from a Mediterranean boarding country, possibly Egypt, hundreds or thousands of years before real mom.
3. Dharma was a tree-hugging-hippy-crap organization with bogus research to cover the real research of energy and time properties of the island. No real benefits for anyone except a job.
4. This is answered in the complete series blu-ray set. A Dharma post, run by 2 men, in Guam receives automated shipping orders from the Lamppost. They build the pallets and sends them out.
5. They were people brought to the Island by Jacob. They were to defend the temple and protect candidates from MIB.
6. They were just symbols to be mysterious and to show how long people had known about the uniqueness of the island.
7. The bomb going off was the Incident and screwed up the Swan station, forcing the button to be pressed to save the world. Juliet survived because the initial explosion returned everyone to their proper time before killing them. The energy at the site probably manipulated the nuclear explosion somehow.
8. Never thought about this. I guess he was a real criminal, we see him in state prison. Convicted felons are rarely cops. In the flash sideways, he makes the choice of becoming a cop instead of a criminal like he did in real life. He talks briefly about this choice in a flash sideways to Miles.
9. He got his power’s from evil mom. The powers are granted to those who protect the island. The original power is a mystery along the lines of how the universe came to be. The powers entail anything that could help the protector protect the island and choose a replacement. He could give and extend life.
10. Michael wasn’t at the church because he was stuck as a ghost on the island. He couldn’t move on because of the things he did. Vincent wasn’t there because he was a dog and didn’t develop the deep meaningful relationships that humans make.
Okay who are you? You really have nailed this post!!!Goddddaymn!!
