Come on, just hear me out on this! I think we may have something in this idea that our Losties are going to all die in the finale next Wednesday. Here’s some reasons/explanations on this theory:
Note: Any spoilerish (as in interviews from cast/creators about the finale and Season 6) are in white for those of you who are angellically 100% spoiler-free.
Does spoilerish count as spoiler-free?
- In recent multiple interviews, Damon Lindelof and some of the cast have said that the Season 5 finale is so mind-blowing that we’ll be asking ourselves if they are even allowed to do that.
- Michael Emerson said in a recent interview that after the finale, we’ll be asking ourselves who will be on the show in Season 6.
- Damon Lindelof said in an interview early this week that the finale is a complete and total game changer.
- All of the above lead me to believe we are in something truly huge next Wednesday, bigger than we’ve seen yet on the show. And with one season to go, what do the creators really have to lose?
So that’s all well and good but why do you think our peeps are gonna die next week?
- Richard said so and if you can’t trust a naturally eye-lined man, than who can you…
- Jack’s on a mission to erase the past three years of these people’s lives. And if you think these sci-fi geek creators would introduce a bomb early in the season and not have it go off, then you are crazy.
- Our peeps are stuck in 1977. Since the island isn’t flashing anymore, how are they going to get back to where they are supposed to be? And by everyone dying, I’m specifically talking about our peeps in 1977.
- It would make one killer of a cliffhanger.
Okay, but what is your theory exactly?
- My theory is that Jack is going to succeed in blowing up Jughead, killing anyone on the island or at least nearby in a great big flash of light. That big ‘ole flash of light will be the last scene of the show this season. Richard saw the people die because he’s immortal, thus he can’t be killed even by big ass bomb.
- The cliffhanger is what the hell happens now? What is the show going to be in Season 6? I’ll save my theories on that until I know if I’m right or not about the finale.
- I do not as yet of a theory about the Locke/Jacob storyline but I’m sure I will soon.
Interesting side note:
On the Fuselage message board, there is a thread under the “Follow the Leader” episode in which a poster poses this question: Could this all be some big hoax? As in, what if the finale next week was THE finale? Of the show. The hoax being that there is no Season 6. The finale ends next week with Jack waking up in the jungle just as he did in the pilot.
I gotta say, even though I’d be devastated, I love this idea. That would be so shocking of an ending to a show, I don’t think we’d ever forget about it. I don’t think this is true but it’d be damn ballsy if it were.
