I still don't fully understand why people thought Aaron was so important to begin with.

They were interested in Aaron because he was born on the island, and Claire didn't die in childbirth. Quote:
The only way Smokey can leave the island is by putting out the light. If the light goes out, the world ends. Quote:

On the "scientific" side of things, the light is this massive pocket of EM engery. If the energy is released the affect of the planet is catestrophic. Essentially the world ends, islands sink, the earth shakes, things crumble. The world can't handle that much EM energy being released. That's basically it. I'm not a scientist. I can't explain if this is based in actual scientific theory or just something we have to accept as fact in the world of LOST. I don't know how it's possible, but it is. I can't help you with "why." I can only talk about "what." So, it's bad spiritually and practically if the light goes out. We die. Now Smokey is born of the light, of the exposure to the EM energy. He is immortal because of it, but he is NOT the light. The light goes out and he becomes mortal again. He can now leave the island. The light no longer binds him to this place. He is no longer of the light in that sense, he is free again to leave. His departure doesn't equal destruction. In theory he could just go home and leave everyone alone and live a normal life. He's a mortal now. He won't destroy the world. BUT the world is still in danger. Not because Smokey is off the island, but because the light is out. It's sort of a catch 22. Smokey can't leave if the light is on, but he also can't hurt anyone OFF the island. If the light goes out, Smokey can leave but it doesn't matter because the world ends. Smokey included. Everyone dies. I don't think he understand that part of it. He doesn't get that the light really does need protecting. He thinks it's a lie. He doesn't have any faith. The irony is, if he really had succeeded he would have died anyway because the world and everything on it would have been destroyed. That's how I understand the light and it's consequences. Now, like Dane, I have to admit this is my interpretation. I'm not saying it's a "fact." But it all adds up. There's evidence to support this idea. I like it, and that's good enough for me. I hope that helps. |

I think it's a great read. Not sure how "authentic" it really is... but either way I think the dude nailed it. I really hope the it's real, or true. I love thinking that the ending is the same as the one planned from the beginning. Kinda cool.

That's very cool. I just wish the stuff in between had been explained in more detail.

I'm one of those people that really doesn't care about answers or whatever all that much. I like the mysteries, but I feel like any "answer" they give can't be as satisfying as my imagination. I don't know. But yeah, the show's far from perfect. But it was still probably the greatest thing I've ever seen on network television. |

oh brother Dane I asked this to you earlier Why the experts Kristen from E! and Doc Jensen from EW WHO TALK TO DARLTON! esp Jensen who helped at times say everything was real? The producers even said it was real Matt Fox even said it was real Also why would Jac imagine things in his head THAT WERENT REAL OR EVEN HAPPENED EXCEPT IN HIS MIND to redeem him? So what you are saying is something that is imagined will redeem someone? Ok Im going to coomit a serious crime wave. So I get shot and die Well right before I die I have a flash that was a nanosecond with people I have NEVER MET BEFORE and have experiences that redeems me? That doesnt make any sense For a person to be redeemed something REAL has to happen not a flash,dream or whatever you want to call it. The last 10 minutes of the show puts everything in perspective Hurley and bn talking, Locke and Ben talking asking for forgivemess and getting it, Jack and his Dada talking. His Dad telling him everything was Real it happened. So based om ALL THIS please explain to me how you think the plane crashed and they all died? I know you will be back on here again

I THIS WOULD CLAIRFY I WAS RIGHT http://scifiwire.com/2010/05/abc-cla...medium=twitter Related Sections: News TV ABC clarifies that everyone on LOST was NOT dead the whole show Remember how confusing it was when Jack (Matthew Fox) closed his eye Sunday night at the end of Lost and the series' logo appeared on our TV screens, only to be followed by crash images of Oceanic 815? What the heck was that about? Were we being told that no one had survived Oceanic 815's original crash landing—and that we'd invested our hearts in a show in which nothing we'd seen over the last six years had ever really happened? ABC wants us to know—those final images had nothing at all to do with the Lost storyline, the Los Angeles Times reported. The network ran them only to soften the transition from the ending of the series to the news show that followed, and had never considered that any of us would think it related to the actual ending of the show. (Which some of us around here did!) An ABC spokesperson wrote in an email Tuesday: "The images shown during the end credits of the Lost finale, which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach, were not part of the final story but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news." Does that change how you felt about Lost's series finale?

That's like the screen going blank on the Sopranos and then HBO showing Tony and Carmella driving around as the credits roll; to soften the transition.

Nope, that was ABC decision solely. Nobody from LOST had that set up.

Enh, that doesn't make sense... 'soften' it from what? It was a very slow, calm and dramatic ending... if they wanted to 'soften' anything, pull a card from the Cannonball Run movies and roll bloopers. That would have been good.
Hey ... there's an idea. They should play an hour long series of the best LOST bloopers.

Note the differences. Jimmy Kimmel and Matthew Fox briefly talked about the nanosecond meaning that the two timelines split right at the turbulence (which isn't what you are saying), but I think this video disproves even that theory. Note the differences even before the turbulence. The longer hair, only one bottle of Vodka, etc. So if anything, your "nanosecond" happened before the plane scene from LA X. |
