:::::Season 6 Flashes:::::
Season 6 Flashes are not "Flash Sideways" because it breaks the
concept of how time travel, time, & space-time are presented on the
show. Our survivors have been constantly traveling through time and
"rewriting" history. Well not "rewriting" but perhaps "overwriting"
history. Think hard drive, or rewritable CD.
Well here it is:
THE SEASON 6 ALTERNATE FLASHES ARE MERELY HOW THE STORY WE KNOW AND
LOVE UP UNTIL THIS POINT ACTUALLY STARTED...
The survivor's stories presented up until now, Jack: fixing his soon
to be bride's/ex-wife spine, crashing on the island to get his fathers
body, surviving on the island and leaving, self destructing
off-island, returning, failing, etc etc... EVERY character and
EVERYTHING we know about what they have gone and are going through is
the LAST LEG of a long chain of events. Events that STARTED with this
"other" version of our characters.
Our current situation in our Season 6 "other" flashes is going to
play out and have an end event. That end event of these ALTERNATE
FLASHES will have to result in someone traveling back in time to cause
a NEW CHAIN OF EVENTS in the past of THE NEW FLASHES. This will shape
into the world that the characters we've been watching for 5 seasons
live in. These new versions of our characters will cease to exit,
their lives being rewrote due to an event that happened in their past.
Replaced/Overwritten by a son-less Jack, an unmarried Locke, island
bred Benjamin Linus, etc etc.
When our current situation on the island plays out, an end event will
happen in the past (the island will jump once more to a time prior to
the crash and perhaps long before), and causes that world to change
back into the the one we now see in the season 6 flashes.
All it will take is one (or two ::hint hint::) person(s) travel back
in time and cause these events. This person(s) has to be unaffected by
these changes as to not create a paradox (effect their future/past) .
It needs to be someone who is seemingly unstuck in the fabric of
space-time. I will not mention who, but there might be one or two
mysterious people we can put in these roles. :)
MY FINAL THOUGHT: These events will loop forever. The final story of
our old characters from season one, will end with an event that resets
the world back to the world we see in these new stories, thus looping
forever. Is it sad? I guess it all depends on how these other stories
of our characters play out, maybe they'll all be very happy. Although
Charlie and Jin & Sun's seem pretty grim. That being said, YOU CAN
SWAP THE ORDER OF VERSIONS, AND THE THEORY WILL NOT BREAK. Whatever
happened, happened... either version could have occurred both before
or after the other, and do so forever. They are constantly looping. It
doesn't matter. In actuality, neither occurred first. Perhaps the way
our characters reach this looping point differs each time (kate goes
left instead of right,free will), BUT the outcome, THE END EVENT is
the same. The series finale could be our heroes finally breaking this
loop, and the new 'happy' Scooby Doo version of their lives continue
forever. This show is on ABC, which is Disney so I don't believe our
ending will be all DOOM AND GLOOM.
Thanks for reading, I hope I'm wrong because I like being surprised.
