The end is nigh my friends and I have to admit that I’m all a giddy with excitement. This has got to be the first time in my TV viewing history that I have EVER looked forward to seeing a show that I love come to an end. In order to prepare for the Season 6 premiere of “Lost” I thought it only appropriate to discuss some of the questions I would like answered before the big finale. Please feel free to add your questions to the comments section below or even your theories on possible answers to these questions.
I’ll start off with the question I have had since the first episode. What exactly is the Smoke Monster? We have been told that it is the security system for the island. But how does it operate and why does it have a different reaction to individuals (i.e. sparing Locke’s life and killing Mr. Eko)?
What is the significance of the infamous numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42?
How is baby Aaron tied to the island and is it a good or evil link?
What about Walt? There is too much mystery around this boy and his abilities for there not to be any further explanation. Yet so far there has been no indication that he is scheduled to appear in the last season.
Why was Hurley in the mental hospital the first time around? And what was Libby doing there as well?
What is the deal with Richard? Why hasn’t he aged over the past several decades and how did he get to the island…via Blackrock? More importantly, how can a girl get lashes like his, so thick and lush, I’d never have to wear eyeliner or mascara again.
What happened to Claire? If she is not dead, as the producers claim, then where in the hell is she and why is she walking around the island with her supposedly dead father?
Which leads us to the next question, is Christian dead?
Why can’t the women on the island stay pregnant and why does it always result in death?
What’s up with all the damn whispering on the island?
What happened to the statue? At the end of last season Ben told Sun that all that remained of the statue was a foot by the time he had arrived at the island in 1973.
Who has taken possession of Locke’s body? Presumably it is the man on the island that was seen conversating with Jacob at the beginning of the last episode “The Incident.”
Who made up all of “the rules” and why do they exist?
- Only the leader can request an audience with Jacob.
- There can be only one leader on the island at a time.
- Widmore apparently changed “the rules” when he killed Ben’s daughter.
- Widmore’s leaving the island on a regular basis and having a child with an outsider was also deemed against “the rules.”
- According to Faraday “the rules” did not apply to Desmond.
- Whoever is in control of Locke’s body found a loophole to “the rules” when he had Ben kill Jacob.
Why did Jacob visit the Oceanic 6 off of the island? And did he visit any of the other survivors?
Last but not least, will time be reset by setting off the nuke, if so by how far? Or is everyone pretty much doomed?
