how soon is any time soon? fundamentalist religous belief of all kinds will be thoroughly marginalized within the next several generations in the USA. age demographics clearly indicate this is coming. it's just that a lot of old people and balloon sellers have to die first.

why would it?

did jacob fix the lottery hugo won with the numbers?

christian implied the losties created the specifics of the purgetory for themselves subconsciously somehow.they were saying our subconsciouses are god or something

so the producer are nothing but filthy con men. i agree. that's a stretch. there's no reason to think richard would do any such thing without orders from jacob.i suspect there's also another self-contradictory looping time travel paradox involved in this.

the show distinctly emphasized jacob touching (effectively choosing) jack, locke, hurley etc. as adults in the same fashion as he touched kate and sawyer as kids. can't really get away with saying he touched hurley as a kid without calling the producers dishonest bastards. but i already did that i guess

yeah it was when he fell (in the incident) locke as a boy failed the test richard gave him. why would they be testing him if he were already a candidate?

he only molested kate and sawyer as kids. the implication was he hadn't touched hurley, jack, locke, or sun/jun until they were adults.

i can think of lots of ways. as long as they are going all metaphysical with their answers they can do anything they want. but it has to make some sense. there shouldn't be things that are contradictory, like the sunk island in the afterlife or whatever. i'm looking for continuity.in fact i would have just ended the show with jack becoming a smoke monster. but they had to go for tear-jerker quotient over substance.

his body died apparently. his mind or soul or whatever became or was integrated into a/the smoke monster. as with everything no sense was made of any of that.

after smokey came out of the cave jacob found MiBs physical body outside the cave in what looked like the exact spot where jack ended up. very confusing, but yeah maybe the island's protecter gets immunity to the smoke-monster-maker easy bake oven thing, even though it still kills him

maybe they borrowed the manatees from family guy.

next: why didn't jack turn into a smoke monster?

so after jack dies in the real world, within the lifetime of a shark the island sinks the light goes out humanity dies and everything they did counts for nothing??? (actually i would have preferred that as the final scene - would have been a pretty cool dark existential nihilistic ending ). the real explanation is at the beginning of S6 the producers had intending the ALT to be an actual alternate timeline where the island sank, but didn't have the time or resources or creative power (or whatever) to pull it off, and had to pull a much simpler purgatory rewrite out of their asses sometime mi

or maybe it was a mind transference experiment. that would explain the weird overly macho talking polar bears in the golden compass.

no, you quoted two posts where one person said the producers knowing what the final image would be from the beginning has no significance. it is not evidence they had any kind of plan in mind.

ironically that would have been a satisfying answer for why the DI was experimenting with animals on-island.

ok why is there a dharma shark in the alt-timeline which is Purgatory?

why is there a dharma shark in purgatory?

absolutely did for me

oops lol, thought that post sounded familiar.

having an imaginitive mind has nothing to do with wanting answers that make sense, particularly when that is what was promised. not wrong - betrayed in the end. it WAS a plot-"derived" show for 5 seasons, with an intricate web of mysteries presented, answers doled out in sparing fashion stringing the viewer along, and more answers including to the biggest questions explicitly promised to be forthcoming. they producers were liars all along. as BG points out they are nothing more than con men - drug dealers getting everyone hooked on "answers to mysteries" crack, then leaving everyone hanging at
