LOST
I can't talk more highly of this episode. And guess what, there is a twist
you probably didn't catch!
Lost Finale Gives a Big Finish
Great episode, great episode, great episode. Executive
producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof took some major risks, let their
balls hang out, and walked away unscathed. Since I assume there are many
of you who have yet to watch the season finale of LOST online or
still have it recorded on your DVR, I will warn you that below is a link
to a complete list of spoilers (recap). Continue farther down, however,
to read my own assumptions on what I think is really going on.
CinemaBlend
has the best recap of the LOST Season Finale that I have read.
The big twist on the LOST Season Finale
was the fact that Jack's 'flashbacks' were not flashbacks at all, but glimpses
of the future. As you have probably already read or saw with your own two
eyes, Jack's actions at the end of the episode helped get the castaways
rescued. But is it a good thing? Well, did they really get rescued?
Why would I not think they had been rescued? Isn't it obvious? Well, the
clues are there.
Calling a mechanism 'the looking glass' and making references to The
Wizard of Oz suggests that there is something going on with multi-dimensions,
multi-verses or alternate universes. Yes folks, another theory coming on,
so here goes:
- Juliet admits that those expected to the island arrive by submarine. But
where does this submarine come from?
- It turns out that this submarine, when not sitting exposed on the pier,
is docked in the submarine bay at 'the looking glass' station. That's right,
this sub did not come from the mainland. Remember that Juliett was forced
to take a drug that knocked her out before the trip. Why? Because she traveled
to the island through a different route! Sure, she may have ended her trip
on the sub -- from 'the looking glass' to the island -- but something in
the underwater base helped get all the way out there. And, since we are
calling it 'the looking glass', can we assume that there is some sort of
special portal/machine that allows one to travel between multiple worlds
or universes? I definitely think so! Think about it, it fits.
- Don't believe? Then how do you explain that a Flight 815 was actually
found with all the passengers dead inside? Because the plane actually finished
its crash course on a different universe! According to Quantum Physics,
multiple universes can exists parallel to one another and, therefore, each
universe is a mirror of the other, with minor differences. Jack can exist
in all, many or some of these universes. Each Jack has a similar story with
minor differences. Jack died in the crash in one universe, but survived
it as his flight accidentally arrived in an alternate universe that features
an island.
- Need more convincing? Fine, you asked for it!
The (bearded) Jack we saw at the end of Season 3 was the same Jack we have
come to know on the island, right? Wrong! The only reason Jack ever arrived
on the island was because he had to go down to Australia to pick up the
body of his deceased father. Hear that? His father is dead! If that is the
case, why does Jack of the future ask his doctor buddy to go see his father
in order to see who is more intoxicated -- Jack or papa Shephard. If Jack's
dad was dead when he arrived to the island, how can he possibly be alive
in the future? He can't! This bearded Jack must be a Jack in an alternate
universe.
By the time we return to Season 4 in 2008 we will discover that Jack and
castaways are still on the island. ABC showed us another Jack in the future
as a warning -- our Jack cannot let that ship rescue them off the island.
You like that?! Well, just in case you didn't, I have another theory coming
next week. Before you ask, yes, we are going back to religion.
Stay tuned for updates.
