The Suspected Dead

[Joe Washington]

Here are a list of characters I suspect will die in the final episodes of Lost:

1. Jin
2. Sun
3. Sawyer
4. Kate
5. Ben
6. Sayid
7. Widmore
8. Jack (Possibly)

I also think Hurley going to be the new Jacob and Claire will get to leave the island to reunite with Aaron.

 

[Mallet]

I think Jack is going to be the new Jacob.

Even over the last few episodes Hurley has deferred to (or at least checked with) Jack on most things, but Jack has been willing to let Hurley lead the way. And even once they entered NotLocke's camp, it was Jack NotLocke went straight to to talk to.

Hurley is too passive and nice to be a leader.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

They'll all die. Locke and Boone will come back to life. Irony!

Okay, seriously. I think the flash sideways are taking place in the future of the Losties, in the same timeline. They can die on the island but that won't stop them from regenerating into the FS era, or even dying again there (eg, Keamy).

 

[Campe]

I think everyone's going to die. No, seriously. Because as has been suggested, it seems to me that the Flashsideways are actually Flashforwards. Them dying is what makes them "ready" as Eloise would say. It allows them to have that perfect life in the Sideways. There's one exception, and I'm not entirely sure how they're going to pull this one off, but I bet that Locke (the REAL Locke) will be the new Jacob. He always cared more about life on-island than off. Its what he wants. So, while I bet that all of our favorites will be in the Sideways, happy, with the exception of Locke, who will lead his life alone on the island... with Vincent. (The producers always said he was the one character who was safe at the end.)

 

[Joe Washington]

But there's one flaw to your theory: Desmond's presence in the flashsideways universe. Desmond went over to the alternate reality in present-day, not in the future.

 

[Campe]

A fair point. Other than that one minor thing, my theory still stands

I agree, especially because of Libby. She both died in the real world and also remembers the Island. I have a feeling everyone who has ever died on the Island exists either in the flashsideways or as one of the Whispers.

What I wonder is: will the dead people be saved? Will people like Libby and Keamy return to the "real world" by the end of the show (assuming that's where the show ends at all)?

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

Could the mother if Jack's son be Ana Lucia? Or still Sarah

 

[Temis the Vorta]

But there's one flaw to your theory: Desmond's presence in the flashsideways universe. Desmond went over to the alternate reality in present-day, not in the future.

Then the FS's are the afterlife - which are still the future, but timeline stuff does not apply. Desmond visited heaven where it's the future and everyone is dead.

Which begs the question of how Keamy can die if he's already dead.

Or maybe Des did time travel to the future - doesn't mean anyone else did.

What I wonder is: will the dead people be saved? Will people like Libby and Keamy return to the "real world" by the end of the show (assuming that's where the show ends at all)?

If my theory about the FS's being the future where everyone remembers the past "wrong" is correct, then we never left the "real world" - it's all the same universe, same timeline, just like Darlton says it is.

 

[Mallet]

But it can't be the future, since it is actually the past realative to the people on the Island in the main storyline.

Remember, the events currently going on in the main storyline take place 3+ years after the crash of Flight 815 (so sometime in 2007-08).

The events happening in the "flash sideways" are occurring right after flight 815 lands in LA (so in 2004).

So at best, the FS's are an alternate history where the plane never crashed, but they can't be "flash forwards" since they take place in the past...

Unless all of the people currently in the main storyline all end up going back in time once again, lose their memories of all the events happening after the plane crash, and then get on Flight 815 and have it not crash.

Then the "flash sideways" could be "flash forwards" of the characters physically, but not chronologically. Or rather, they are "flash forwards" of them personally, but not of the universal timeline itself (since it would actually be "flashbacks" according to the universal timeline).

Well, yes...but the flashsideways are still happening in a reality that has clearly been changed. I guess what I mean is: will the flashsideways correct themselves and bring our characters back to the Island reality? The fact that Libby exists AND remembers the Island in the flashsideways, to me, means that it's possible that she has the potential to be "saved" and returned to the true reality (instead of this fake one that has somehow been created).

 

[RoJoHen]

The events happening in the "flash sideways" are occurring right after flight 815 lands in LA (so in 2004).

At least from the perspective of the characters in the flashsideways universe. We don't really know how/why they got there, so it's still very possible that the flashsideways are occurring AFTER the events in 2007 and that the Losties simply don't have any memory of the previous 3 years.

The fact that Hugo, Libby, Desmond, and Charlie all have memory of the Island would indicate that it was really a part of their past.

The thing I'm trying to figure out is how this actually affects the already dead people: Charlie, Libby, Keamy, etc.

 

[Hober Mallow]

Richard will finally die.

 

[Mojochi]

Could the mother if Jack's son be Ana Lucia? Or still Sarah

Or even Juliet

Richard will finally die.

Definitely. Plus, I feel a strong pull toward a gigantic sacrifice coming, like either Sawyer or Jack will die saving everyone

I'm starting to feel like Widmore & a lot of his people are going to die. I have an uneasy feeling about Jin & Sun & yes, Sayid is on the fast track to dead.

& though Desmond was told he will need to make a big sacrifice, that may not mean his own life

 

[Gertch]

Everyone but Jack will be killed or off the Island.

I think Jack will be the new Jacob. We'll see Jack sitting on the beach eating some fish right off the fire. NotLocke will sit down beside him and ask "Do you know how much I want to kill you?"

I'm wondering about the scene with Daniel crying over the news of flight 815's crash site discovered.
He didn't know why he was crying because he didn't know anything about them but perhaps he will and he "knew" back then that all his friends were dead...

 

[RoJoHen]

^Ooh, interesting.

 

[McCoy]

... I bet that Locke (the REAL Locke) will be the new Jacob.

Ooh how about this?

Locke is resurrected into his body and becomes the new Jacob.

BUT, the MiB, who remains trapped on the island, also remains trapped in his new Locke body.

The final scene people have talked about that will echo the one with Jacob and MiB on the beach will actually be ...

TWO LOCKES!!

The events happening in the "flash sideways" are occurring right after flight 815 lands in LA (so in 2004).

The only reason we know that's the date is Claire's ultrasound, right? But the writers got the date wrong anyway and said it was "malfunctioning" so it could be any year.

I'm still rooting for the "faked" Flight 815 to be real. If we do have two sets of all the characters, then one group has got to die on that flight so the others can take over the story and be the only real ones at the end.

I'm not sure I'm following. Are you saying that the "flash sideways" timeline is in 2007? 3+ years after flight 815 originally took of from Sydney?

Where did those missing 3+ years go then? It can't just be the Losties who were affected, it would have to be the whole world. Locke's boss, Jack's work & mom, everyone would have had to miss 3+ years of their lives.

Or are you saying that the Losties didn't all fly back from Sydney in 2004, but instead waited until 2007 to fly back?

I don't get how it could be any other year then 2004 in the "flash sideways" since we know that is when Flight 815 from Sydney to L.A. took off with all of the Losties on board.

We know Christian died in Sydney a few days before the flight (in both timelines) and that was in 2004.

We know Claire was 8 months pregnant in 2004, just before Flight 815 took off. That is the same in both timelines.

So I'm just not sure with what you mean or imply when you say we don't know what year it is in the "Flash sideways".
