Hey all- I'm posting in this old thread because I just started watching LOST on Netflix a few weeks ago and I have not seen ANY of the 6th (Final) season episodes. As of this moment, the latest episode I've seen is season 5, episode 1 (and OMG, the season 4 3-part finale was gut-wrenching!)
Anyway, I have a theory I want to float and see what all you long-timer LOST fans think. I'll hide it since this thread is marked "spoiler free".
[SPOILER]This is about all those whispers the Losties heard in the jungle. Since at this point I know about the "unstuck in time" problem they are experiencing, I now think it was never the Others doing the whispering, nor even the island itself. I think maybe they were trying to talk to themselves from a different dimension of time. They may even be shouting, but their "real time" selves can barely hear them and can't see them at all. I especially think this might be the case because each of them who heard whispers seemed to have heard whispers very specific to themselves.
Oh, and "unstuck in time" Faraday making contact with past Desmond doesn't wreck the theory because Desmond is "special" and he is Faraday's Constant.
[/SPOILER]
If this has been explained during season 5 or 6 and I'm totally wrong, go ahead and tell me, but NO SPOILERS please! Just say it was explained another way. KTHX.
Another thought about the show in general up to the beginning of season 5...
[SPOILER]I sincerely hope the flashforwards are just a ghost-of-christmas-yet-to-be future and that it can be changed. I do not like the future shown in those flashes at all. I'm particularly concerned about Aaron because only Claire is supposed to raise him or very bad things will happen. Don't tell me anything though! I'll be caught up to the current season soon enough and don't want to know in advance![/SPOILER]
Last thought, not a spoiler. After watching four entire seasons, I think Sawyer is much better man than Jack, shady past and all. He's more honest and he seems to have a much more sensitive heart under all those rough edges. And he slays me with all those clever nicknames he gives people. He's way smarter than he lets on.
