The last night’s episode of Lost was just incredibly crazy. I was one of the believers of the time loop theory. For me, it explained everything up to the season 4 perfectly. I was pretty sure that a theory which is as popular as that will never survive. But it seemed to have a plausible explanation for all things that happened. But slowly things were changing and probably the final episode of season 5 has debunked the theory.
Considering that this is the penultimate season, I would’ve expected that the writers would slowly begin to tie the loose strings. But with a few answers came more questions. Here are a few things on my mind right now:
- Who is this man #2, the nemesis of Jacob? (a lot of people are already calling his Esau)
- How did this guy get into the skin of John Locke?
- Is John Locke really dead? (I have a feeling that he is going to come back stronger in the final season. He is really probably the only person who can “change” things)
- I also wonder if whatever Jack did in “The Incident” going to change the future. (I have a feeling this is the incident that is the cause for the hatch and the button pushing. Probably nothing has changed and whatever happened, happened.)
- This significance of numbers. (the cursed numbers of Hurley have been a regular thing in the series until the end of season 3 and they make a return in this season 5. Wonder if there is something big behind those numbers)
- What did Jacob mean when he said, “They are coming!” (I hope its not as simple as the group outside coming in)
- And finally, who is Jacob, what is his connection with the island and why did he “touch” all the losties into coming to the island?
I don’t know what will be worse, waiting for the season 6 for another 9 months or reading all kinds of vague theories and nonsense for 9 months. Either way, I just can’t wait for the finale. I hope Lost goes on a high. And its the season finale of Prison Break tomorrow. I have a feeling someone is going to die. I sure hope its not Lincoln.
