It's not all in Hurley's mind

[Super Grover]

But it is all in Locke's mind.

Folks my theory is this, This whole Island is all in the mind of John Locke and not our favorite former/current Santa Rosa patient. I think that John did go on his walkabout, and he's still on it. Everything is a manifestation brought on by the extreme conditions of the walkabout and the vision quests he has been known to go on. I"m not sure, but It's possible that even his being in a wheelchair is something he dreamed at one point.

If this show is all in any character's mind I'm going to bash my television set in and strangle myself with the power cord! Granted, having the show occur all in someone's mind would explain all of the "impossible" mysteries (teleportation, seeing the dead, people meeting each other pre-crash), but it would sure as hell disappoint a lot of people!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

It's not going to be in someone's end. That's one of the few scenarios that the producers have nixed from the get go. It's also not purgatory, so don't go there either.

I hear you. Though I have to go with Emh too and say I believe the writer and producers that this is not all "a dream".

Yeah I dont need a repeat of St Elsewhere.

Im sure we will get an explanation of the scientific mysteries, but the meetings of people and Hurleys numbers have already been explained by producers. The meetings are coincidences and the numbers probably wont be explained.

Why would he follow what people are doing on the island other than him (the love triangle for instance), and why would we be seeing their flashbacks?

Just sounds too intricate for one man's dream/halluncination/spirit journey/vision quest.

After what we found about about Mr Friendly that is somewhat of a relief.

Exactly, I just listened to that Podcast where Carlton and Cuse specifically said the show IS NOT in somebodies head. They wouldn't put us through 6 seasons of awesome only to pan out and show Locke waking up in a crazy house as the last scene. That would be infuriating to no end. Needless to say, there would be assassinations.

 

[The Evil Dead]

If the last line of the series is "Oh wow, I just had the strangest dream." Lost will immediately become my least favorite TV series of all time.

Matthew Fox will wake up back on Party of Five.

 

[Ben Sisko3]

Matthew Fox will wake up back on Party of Five.

Maybe it's Peter Watts' dying thoughts after he allegedly committed suicide. Or maybe it's why Augustus Hill could suddenly "feel [his] legs"...

Oh, the possibilities!

 

[Starbreaker]

No.

My sentiments exactly. There might be a way they can pull off a variation on the "it's not real" plot twist (virtual reality, etc) but I sure can't think of how. Every time I think thru the possibilities, the result is immense aggravation for the audience, at a pitchforks-and-torches level.

If they did that they would never work again.

Good, because that would be crappy.

I think it's all part of Vincent's dream, and the at the end of the series he'll wake up and Walt will ask him what he was dreaming about, and then Vincent will run off.
