They could probably land in Fiji, have everyone but Lapidus get off and then have Lapidus claim that he crash landed the plane and most everyone died of natural causes (starvation and horrifying illness) before he could get it working.

Lapidus stashes the plane somewhere and goes into seclusion because there is literally no way to explain what happened what wouldn't end up with him in prison or in a mental institute. He lives out the rest of his life on the beaches of Guam.

Lapidus brushes aside all pressing questions with one-liners and snappy comebacks while the passengers sneak off the plane in the background.

The people who returned, except for Kate and Lapidus, were not people on the original plane. In fact, many of them had been missing for years.

Yeah, this is just curious discussion and relative to actual episodic content it's unimportant. I think this is what caused spin-offs before we learned to control ourselves.

Well, they were on their way back home when ANOTHER island pulled them in, giving them 6 seasons of torment.

That's bizarre and it felt like a month at least. euphronius posted:This is probably why they didn't film those scenes. Honestly if I had been through that I wouldn't give a gently caress about what anyone thought. "Yea it was a lot of crazy poo poo that I can't explain. Please leave me alone" would be my response to everything.

Kate would have to go back to jail because part of her settlement in season 4 was never to leave the state. No wonder she missed Jack so much, she was in a rug munching federal prison.

Johnny B. Goode posted:gently caress, really? So from early season 5 to the finale, it was only over a span of 7-10 days? Yeah, Miles pretty much confirmed it in one of the last episodes. "I spent 3 years there 30 years ago, otherwise known as last week". Each season became progressively shorter in amount of time that passes. It didn't help that it constantly shifted from day to night in a matter of a scene change.

The neat thing about the flash sideways is that they can be used to deduce what went on in these characters's life--like Hurley we can tell that he had a long and awesome reign on the Island (if lonely) because of his afterlife being all "everyone loves Hugo, he provides for everyone!". So did Kate kept being on the run? Hung out with Claire to raise Aaron? Or maybe even was in federal prison and dreamt of being on the run again for a loooong time?

So what was the reason for Hurley being able to commune with the trapped spirits? Furthermore, who would he get to talk to during what I deem would be the best years of the island ever?

Jacob made him special, just like he made Richard immortal. And when it comes to people talking to him from beyond the grave, the who and when seems to be THEIR jurisdiction. Whether he has any say over it once he becomes Jacob is anyone's guess. And it isn't just trapped spirits who can appear, eg. Isabella.

Yeah that makes more sense, since Jacob had a non-interference policy. Which would especially be true with his candidates.

One cool thing I've been thinking about is Desmond flashing over to the Sideways Purgatory. When he meets Penny, he "wakes up" and then he wakes up back on the Island. Presumably, during "waking up" he would have seen the rest of his days up to his death, since he's in Purgatory. Is his smug confidence there because he now "knows" how he's going to die and it's not by the Smoke Monster's hand or Sayid's gun at the well? More realistically, I would love to see what the writers' motivations and plans were during the whole series run. Something tells me that at points, they would probably peek into message boards to see what the fans thought and either went: "Hey, that's a great explanation, let's run with that." or "Oh poo poo, they've got the wrong idea, let's fix it quick!" It makes me wonder if in that ATAS panel (specific moment at 4:30) when Damon blurts: "...the fact that the Island is a giant spaceship!" If that changed the end game for the show. The more I watch that, the more I think it's Carlton going: "What?!?" when Damon blurts that out. That theory would have made for an awesome ending, but I guess we'll never know. And would've provided some really cool explanation for a lot of things on the show. Like in early Season 1 when we see the comic book that Walt was reading, there's a page that shows a spaceship with what looks like a rock formation in the middle - not that it matters now, but it would've been cool if that tied in with the end game in some sense. Also I wonder what kind of input did ABC higher-ups had on the course of the show. I would love to see a panel discussion with the writers on all the loose ends. Here's to hoping they answer some of them in the DVD set, but I'm not holding my breath.

Presumably, during "waking up" he would have seen the rest of his days up to his death, since he's in Purgatory. I don't think Desmond had the slightest idea that the sideways were purgatory. When put into Widmore's electromagnetic sauna, Island Des saw exactly the same chain of events that we do during Happily Ever After and reached the same conclusions. He thought he had experienced an alternate universe when in fact he essentially saw his (after)life flash before his eyes. His demeanor towards the end of the series is because of his belief that his actions at the 'very bright light' will undo everything bad that happened during the series. He was wrong.
