Assuming they're telling the truth (which hey, they're probably not), I think :

1. John Locke/Smoke Monster/Dude in black = Lucifer

2. Jacob = Jacob from the Bible.

3. Island = Purgatory.

What it seems, is that Jacob was assigned to keep Lucifer in Hell, he's obviously trying to escape. He recruits people that die and go to purgatory to make sure Lucifer doesn't get out and fuck the world up. The Devil can't be killed, but Jacob can be. It all makes sense from a Biblical standpoint I think...at least something close to it.

The Oceanic 6 all did die (along with Richard who was hanged), they just went to purgatory. My guess is they all have to team up and do something great to defeat the Devil and in return they get to live their lives as if 816 never crashed.

As far as everyone else on the plane, their Heaven/Hell fate was already decided and it would explain why they all might die in the alternate reality (ex. Keamy).

This obviously doesn't explain everything (if this was the standalone theory really behind LOST, developing things like the Dharma Initiative would be pointless), but it's what they're hinting at.

Too obvious? What do you think?
 


I for one have given up on theories and just enjoy the show. And you gotta give them credit ... they're the masters of plot twist.

But the purgatory theory has been around for a few years and it's not a bad one.
 
They're not in purgatory. Else how can you explain the fact that the Oceanic 6 DID get off the Island and back into the real world in season 5 (and the whole world stunned at their reappearance? What did they die and come back)? What about the Submarine that gets off the Island? The Dharma Initiative? The Hawking lady who pinpoints the Island using science magics? Or Widmore, who knows how to get there with (living) people.


It's a fun theory, but that's not what the show is about. The whole "hell" meme you saw today is just apart of the Richard storyline. It's not literal - there are definitely parallels, but it's get recursive if you say its purgatory. I mean people DIE on the Island. And there's even a fat dude who talks to dead people on the show. So it just gets redundant if they're all really dead and living in a bubble on some other plane of existence.

I've said this before, massively twisting a plot to the point where it doesn't make sense and just confuses people, is not genius writing. "OMGGG LOST was craaaazy it made no sense but was sooo craaazyy!" seems to be the typical reaction I see, people think it's genius just because it makes no sense...but the geniuses must understand because they wrote it!

I watched every season starting from the beginning 3 weeks before this season, I don't hate it to the point where I don't want to see how it all turns out. A lot of people watch it though so it makes for a conversation to Shoot The Shit.

Dexter is the series I started watching after LOST (currently on Season 3), and it is 100x better than LOST.
 
Seriously, who the fuck thinks that deeply about a TV show? What a waste of brain power. lol

All they have to do is spin that and say it was purgatory and not really the real world ... I wouldn't put any plot twist past those sneaky bastards

Well exactly it's LOST, they're going to come out with something crazy and it won't make sense.

How else can you explain Richard really living forever? And dead Jacob guiding Hurley? There's obviously something paranormal going on there, so I don't see why it wouldn't be Biblical.

Maybe they're going to what they think is the real world but is just a fabrication or a "test" and they all failed and had to go back to purgatory. Yeah that would be kind of dumb, but you never know.

a) weed

b) You don't have to think "deeply" to come to those conclusions, they're extremely obvious (at this point in the show).

c) You've never tried to guess what's going to happen in a movie or TV show? You must be working on something thuper duper if you're saving all that brain power.

Yeah, I tried watching Dexter but it was a little slow for my ADD. Great concept though ... they should join forces with CSI and make a movie ... lol
 
I don't think Richard lives forever, he just doesn't age. I think it would be hilarious for Jacob to be able to grant immortality to someone when he himself gets killed.

He asked to live forever and never die and Jacob granted that.

I'm not really for the purgatory theory in a biblical sense but I believe the "candidates" were chosen to protect the island as well as keep whatever power is on the island, contained on the island. That is why Richard's wife said that the man in black should be stopped from leaving the island (who is now obviously in Locke's body).
 
I think the whole hell/purgatory theme is just some misdirection. Not sure for what though yet... It will be interesting to see how this season plays out, that's for sure.

And dexter is awesome. I'm waiting on netflix to get Season 4 so i can pick up from season 3.
 
spoiler

the writers have already said it is def not purgatory

most recent theory is that man in black/smoke and jacob are both genies/djinns and island is like the cork in the bottle.

To support that theory in folklore - Djinn can be either good or bad, can take human form and are also known to be seen as smoke and grant wishes (the whole "what if I could make it come true" with Sayid)
