I've watched Lost for 2 years. I caught up on seasons 1,2 and 3 between seasons 4 and 5. I'm not sure the non linear viewing format is the best, but it is what it is (WHH). It seems to me that the central theme of the show is about "loss" or rather how we react to loss. Almost every character has lost a parent, mostly fathers, or another close loved one.These characters have gone through so much pain and I don't think it is in vain just to serve the machinations of demigods who are puling their strings.
I believe the main characters will find redemption. I also believe they will overcome the plans of both Jacob and MIB. I believe they will find a way to release their pain by refusing to be pawns, like Locke and Ben have been. In fact I think you will find the players including Ben and Locke(the real Locke) working together and sacrificing to overcome the prison they find themselves in. The model for this is Charlie. Charlie gave his life for the greater good and he ended well. Charlie overcame heroin addiction and the demise of his career to become a better person. I believe the losties will find redemption in each other. The test will be if they can overcome personal pain and agendas to work and sacrifice together. Bernard said: the most important thing is loving each other and being together.
It's Widmore and his ilk who want a war for control of the island. I don't believe the losties will play this game. In this game, if you fight, you fail. The lesson is: paradox rules. The losties job is to prevent the war. They will appear to lose
but in the end they will win and be redeemed. Refusing to play the kill and destroy game will break the cycle. Jacob wants this to end. MIB says he wants this human intervention to end, but he's lying. He hates humanity and wants to see them suffer and be destroyed. His lack of patience will doom him.
