I first need to share that I am huge into LOST. What is great about the show is the fact that you never truly know what is going to happen. It constantly keeps you thinking and speculating. There are tons of allusions to religion (the picture that the cast took that alludes to the painting The Last Supper which Lost fans have dubbed The Lost Supper), mythology (Greek and Egyptian), mathematical equations, philosophic thought and literature. There is a huge fan base and they call themselves LOSTIES. The show is so big and frustrating that a website patterned after Wikipedia was created called Lostpedia along with another website titled Theories on LOST where fans can share what they think is happening. However, there are only three episodes left of the entire series. The finale is on May 23rd and I just read that ABC is going to add another half hour to the finale. It will be two and half hours long. I can't wait!
So, what are my thoughts and what I think will happen? I really have no idea. Who is MIB (John Locke or I should say, the man in Black)? Who is Jacob? Are these two characters types of God and the Devil (or Egyptian Gods) and is the Island, Hell, as Richard said it is? There are allusions in some respect to Dante's Inferno about Hell. Everyone on the Island had a troubled past that inflicted some form of guilt (true Hell) upon them while on the Island. Why does Jack feel that he should not leave the Island? Is Jack a Messiah figure (this is a stretch)? He heals, leads, and advocates on others behalf? Will he replace Jacob? What about the Island itself? Is it a parallel universe or is it an alternate reality? These and a host of other questions cannot be answered intelligently (in my opinion).
A question that I was thinking about after last week's episode is with Sayid. After he was resurrected earlier in the season, he turned bad which is evident in the horrific killings and dirty work on behalf of MIB. But, I don't think he killed Desmond (Brother!) and he willingly sacrificed himself by blowing himself up in the sub. Was that an act of redemption which, perhaps, will save him to see his wife? Also, at the end of the episode, MIB (John Locke) knew that not everyone died in the sub. How? Why did he want them to die?
Like I said, I really have no idea about what will happen in the end. But as you can tell, I think too much about this. It's just so darn good.
