So I've been in a bit of a Lost mood and decided to share my endgame theory. This theory is about what the climax of the series may be about, doesn't explain everything but there is a lot to support it.
So in trying to think of how the show will end I thought about what the show is about and other than redemption the show focuses a lot on the ideas of faith versus logic. Destiny vs choice. And I think that is where the series is heading towards, a decision between a preset destiny and a personal choice.
A lot of this theory is based on the
Sri Lanka video from the first ARG. In it, it states that Dharma's purpose was to study the Valenzetti Equation, the equation predicts the exact moment of mankind's destruction through whatever means it may be. The results of the Equation are the numbers(4 8 15 16 23 42) and Dharma was meant to find a way to change any one of those numbers in the equation. Now I believe the Valenzetti Equation is the mathematical proof of fate's plan. And no matter what you do course correction with do anything to keep those numbers the same and the date of mankind's end the same.
Now think of Desmond and Charlie, Charlie's fate was to die, and Desmond found a way to cheat that. This is was something Dharma was looking for, but both Desmond and Charlie gave into fate due to the course correction. So Dharma wanted to find a way to permanently change fate. Now I see Course correction as an extremely complex series of back up plans. On example I thought of was when Boon died, if Locke and Boone hadn't been so caught up by the Plane they would have noticed the Pearl Station, Locke's faith in the Swan would have been shattered, no one would bang on the hatch or relieve Desmond, so he would have killed himself and no one would have been able to press the button or turn the key and thus the world would end. Also think of Desmond's vision of Claire on the helicopter. The only reason that didn't come true was because of Christian who directly intervened to prevent her from leaving. For whatever reason that may be.
So what is Fate's plan exactly? I think fate want's to wipe out the world so and use the Island as a Noah's boat for the Others to start a new utopia. Which is why solving the pregnancy problem is so important. That's why the Others were so selective in who they abducted and why they are so secretive. They cannot risk this mission. And I see Jacob as the ultimate go to guy for Fate's orders for the Others. And to keep fate as safe as possible only a select few can even see him..
So now finally how does this end. I can think specifically because so much can still change, but I think the series will end in a choice. Follow along with fate plans to destroy mankind and start over, or let civilization continues as is with the possibility of being destroyed earlier or later without the "ark", or maybe a third option no one thought of? Either way I think it will be up to Jack to make the decisions. He's the main character, the first one we saw and the last one will see. It even been said the actor is one of the few who knows how the story ends. I don't know what he'll choose, but what ever his choice is, it will be the right one
Also I found this funny:
I want to see this show so f'n badly but it's on the same time as Smallville
