This is the last theory I will post this week. I got tired of trying to sort out LOST lol!
Ok, here we go, my theory revolves around a subject that, as far as I am concerned, has not been explored enough.
It can be summed In one simple question:
What did our Losties do wrong and they try to fix?
Wow, even asking it gives me a headache. So let’s start from what we know:
1) LOST is in a loop
2) So far the whatever happened, happened theory is wrong. Daniel’s neck wound from Razinsky did not exist back when he first met Jack. Check the Variable episode and try to prove me wrong I dare you :)
But why is LOST on a loop? Personally can think only one reason: Something went wrong, terribly wrong, thus the universe always resets the loop, trying to course-correct. When Eloise Hawking talks about the universe I always have the idea of a universe-equation. Just like someone would have to re-solve an equation that has no solution, so the universe would have to course correct again when it met the error in the equation.
So what is the error in the equation? What is that our losties did that is so wrong and they must suffer another infinite number of loops to correct it?
Now another freaky question rises: Why “God help us all?”
Does this means the whole world is stuck in a loop? Then indeed god help us all…
Back to the first question.
We do not know exactly what happened when Jack detonated Jughead. But from carefully examining Jack’s opening eye from the final season trailer I can safely say that he is not in LAX. I am pretty sure he is exactly where the series started. Jack’s eye reflects the top of the trees it reflected back in the pilot. The loop begins again.
Now from what we know Jack and all of our losties are also in flight 815 at the start of season 6. What’s up with that? There are only 2 possible explanations: Jack is both in flight 815 and on the island, which means we have time paradoxes, twin bodies 1 consciousness, or simply another timeline. The other explanation is that the producers gave us a “fake” spot from season 6 to hiatus upon. That would be of course hit below the belt but ok…..
So again, what went wrong? Why the loop? You know if the universe has to course correct then the error must be something terrible, something “God help us All” big.
I can only think of the Incident. But what went wrong there? Was Jack not supposed to detonate Jughead? We can only speculate on this but I think that what Jack did was a first- time thing.
As I proved earlier, whatever happened, happened is totally wrong. Daniel is with me on this one LOL
The main question of this theory could be easily answered if we knew what eventually happened after the Jughead detonation.
What if it didn’t work? What if season 6 is the new loop? What if all of our Losties in season 6 have no memories of what happened and we will see a new story all over? Progress? What if the detonation of Jughead prevented anyone from building the Swan station?
I think season 6 will be a new loop. The Losties crash on the island. But no Swan Station. No Desmond. That could be a good game changer.
