Hi all,
For my first theory (which originally was my first post on the forum), I wish to explain how I understand the Incident and the flash sideways (plus a bunch of random thoughts along the way). Actually, I’m often pretty surprised to see how the finale of season 5 seems underrated since The End and the revelation about the nature of the sideways. In advance, I would like to present my apologies for my poor grammar (I'm French and, even if I understand and speak, writing in English is always tricky for me). So, take a deep breath, here we go...
Karmic interpretation of the Incident, Sideways and The End by Useful Idiot

Plan A by Marcus
View Comments
I believe MIB’s plan all along was to kill the candidates by having them detonate a Nuke back in 1977 ( Kudos Lockesdisciple) Season 6 was just like watching MIB’S plan B for the candidates.
If MIB always intended to kill the candidates in 77, then what did Jacob do to thwart this plan? What was his move? More on that later
Comparing Inception to Lost by The Black Rock
View Comments
After I watched Inception I realized that their were a lot of similarities to Lost. Especially with the season finale. I've decided to discuss both the movie and t.v. show. I am going to show how both shows/movies compare and contrast. NOTE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN INCEPTION STOP READING NOW! I DO NOT WANT TO SPOIL THE MOVIE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT! This analysis/theory is only for people who have seen the movie.
The Loophole by CMR

This theory attempts to put the MiB's plan into context and explain how Jacob ended up thwarting him. But first, we need to sort out and revisit several things.
1. Time Travel
In the canon of the show, "whatever happened, happened". (But not necessarily with Desmond, however that's not important here) Everything the Losties did in the past had always happened the way it did.
The Parallel Universe Theory of "The End" by Ellis
View Comments
In the closing moments of “The End”, we discovered that the Los Angeles-based “Sideways” reality we had been watching all season was actually the afterlife, a religiously-neutral “heaven” or purgatory outside of time in which all of our favorite characters awaited an awakening to the memories of their past lives before they could successfully move on.
Young Ben met Smokie, not Richard, in the woods by Jimbo

I am re-watching Season 3 for the first time since The Finale. What a difference. After watching "The man behind the curtain", it is amazing to realize Ben's part on the island was pure coincidence. Back in the young and innocent days, I assumed the Island hand-picked Ben to be picked up by Horace by the side of the road, but it was all pure coincidence that Horace drove by.
Theory about everything by jplatanou

I recently found this theory, and I didn't know if it has been posted here before. So i'm giving you the link, because I think it's a great read. It's a bit long, as it tries to answer what the light is, the island, the smoke monster, but the part I liked the most was the one that compares Desmond in the hatch, to Jacob on the island:
"...The hatch is a symbol of the island as a whole…. Desmond (hoping for a replacement) was trapped in the hatch pushing the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 to save the world similarly to how Jacob (hoping for a replacement) was “trapped” on the island pushing the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 (metaphorically pushing their buttons) orchestrating the events that would ultimately save the world..."

What the island actually is by richard

My theory is simply my own interpretation of what the island actually is if you were to explain it in it's most simple terms, and how that connects together with some of the things we witnessed in the show.
The Importance of Charlotte in the Sideways by Mary
View Comments
I'm sure much of this has already been discussed. I've seen it written in almost every episode/character/etc summary that Charlotte was not "awake" in the Sideways world, a fact which seems to frustrate a lot of people as she played a fairly significant role there in moving along other characters. I'd like to argue that Charlotte was, in fact, "enlightened"-- and that we saw her awakening, way back before we realized what we were actually watching. Hers was the first enlightenment we saw. Here is what I think happened:
The Great Big Hole by Cerberus108

Let me point out something that has seemed to slip by most of the Lost fans out there. This is in regards to some very important plot points that basically started the entire premise of the show. Here it goes, stop me if I'm wrong.
The Sideways world: Another View by Kat
View Comments
It seems to be the popular opinion that the Sideways world was some kind of afterlife. That it exists where all the characters are dead and meet up again. I however, don't believe this to actually be the case. I think there's plenty of examples that support both theories and that's exactly what the brilliant creators of LOST intended. To keep the discussion going for some time after the series finally ended. I'd say, mission accomplished!
The 5-Dimensional theory of LOST by Mark Ormandy - theVOID

Pondering LOST has lead me to a simple explanation of the relationship between this "light", space, time travel, whispers and the afterlife.
My ideas are best explained by a simple diagram:
The diagram contains the following:
Why I think Jughead created the sideways' time line by SamRNLOST
View Comments
I do believe that Jughead was detonated and it was at this time that this "place you all created" was formed.
The remaining LOSTIES(and a few others) were all at the site (except for Sun,Bernard and Rose) when Jack dropped the bomb into the hatch. They were all aware of what they were trying to accomplish by using the bomb--to create an existence where they never came to the island.This is why the island does not exist in the sideways' time line.
As far as the "bad" people appearing in the sideways,the LOSTIES did not sit down and plan who was going to be in their new existence, they simply wanted to erase the time spent on the island as if had never happend.
But, these people were destined to meet other regardless if it was on the island or in the real world. With Jughead they created a "world" where the island did not exist (sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean) and Oceanic flight 815 never crashed. Destiny was for all of them to meet,remember,let go and move on.
The Hurley Bird, Kate's Horse, Harper, Dave, etc. = MIB by WhoIsJohnLocke?
View Comments
I was just re-watching Exodus, and you'll notice that the Hurley Bird screeches and makes an appearence flying away, only minutes before the Man In Black tackles Locke and tries to pull him down that hole before being saved by Jack and Kate.
The only other appearence of the Hurley Bird is in the Season 2 finale, again while Hugo, Jack and Kate trek across the Island.
Geronimo's arrow through my heart by DigginDjinn
View Comments
Oh No! When I finally find out who the band Geronimo Jackson is, it has just put a small flaming arrow(irony) through my heart.
I dreamed of it being a hidden recording from an enigmatic band of four from the past. It is indeed a real band, but had it's 'release' around 2004-2005 known as The Donkeys(irony). The single we all know and consider the anthem for Dharma, "Dharma Lady" is actually known and listed as "Excelsior Lady". It can be heard in it's exact replication by a simple search. This band is self-described as psychedelic+self-healing(irony).
