Best Lost Theories | Interviews, Predictions, Polls and of course More Questions

This is the time for rewatching Lost episodes. I myself am rewatching from the start, i.e. season 1. Some of us only want to watch season 5 again. In any case the Lost episode guide comes in handy for keeping an overview. The episode guide I always use is Epguides. A clear guide with direct links to episode summaries.

The sixth and last Lost season lays ahead of us before the grand finale in 2010. Many of us are wondering how Lost will end. Lost season 6 'Destiny Found' will air from February-May 2010.

For those of us who are not so patient and can't wait until the end of the show there are few places on the Internet which provide absolute quality theories, insights, points of view, and answers to Lost questions. Of course no one can say for sure his or her answer is exactly what the Lost writers mean with the TV series. But I think that the websites and blogs I have listed in this Lens are pretty close to what Lost is all about. So to summarize; this Lens is about quality answers to Lost questions. Many of those theories, questions and answers are from such a high quality that they can be considered Lost spoilers.

Questions like: How will Lost end? How about the mythological references in the show? Who really are the bad guys? If it's not an island then what is it? And one of my personal favorites, is Ben a good or a bad guy?

The initial title of the TV show was 'The Circle'. It seems they have changed this not too long before the start of the show. The speculations of Lost ending with how it started, the loopholes, the self fulfilling prophecy theories (e.g. the one about the Losties creating the timeline in which they crash on the island instead of avoiding it by detonating the bomb) all correspond with the 'circle theme'. But what can we conclude from this?

The identity of Adam and Eve is the key to the end of Lost.

The producers have explicitly stated that the identity of Adame and Eve is central to the mystery of the island.

One of the predictions on how Lost will end is that Jack and Kate are Adame and Eve. (thanks for your input Hani) I think this is interesting. So I went to Lostpedia to read more about Adam and Eve theories. Of the many different ideas on who Adam en Eve might be I found this one the most plausible and interesting:

"Jack and Kate are the first people we see on the Island in the very first episode of the show. Jack first, and then Kate finds in the jungle and helps him with his injury, a cut on his ribs, all of which is a reference to the biblical Adam and Eve."

But then again, there are also good explanations for other theories. Every time you think to have figured out something you end up being wrong, which is emblematic for Lost and is one of the factors that makes this show that much intriguing.

For example, this post on The Lost Elders Blog has a short but interesting theory on Desmond and Penny being Adam and Eve.

In this Emmy Watch interview Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof reveals a glimpse about what we can expect in season 6. Obviously we die-hard Lost fans can't wait and every little bit of information is welcomed like a glass of water in the desert so this is a must see.

The goal of this lens is to illuminate more than theories about time travel. Whether or not Lost is about time travel there are so much other questions and mysteries that are just as interesting. The show hasn't given us many clues about for example the four toed statue, the strange donkey wheel, the researchers on the north pole, what's up with Walt, how did the island disappear and much more. Reading attempts from Lost fans to answer those questions is even more appealing because of the fact that the show hasn't revealed much about these subjects. I can't emphasize it enough. The stuff these folks have come up with is really good. So be prepare to be spoilt or stop reading.

The SD Wynn theories.
One of the all time greatest theories actually consists of three separate blog posts. They each have their own angle. They are not about time travel but they are about many other fascinating elements of the show. Ok that's not completely true, one of them is a bit about traveling in time but that's a detail. Just to give you an idea; this guy has convinced me that Charlie isn't dead. Of course dead and alive are relative terms in Lost but I now know Charlie will get back. And I like that. I don't know about you but I could never understand why Charlie had to die. Charlie Rocks! Furthermore he also has some gripping ideas about the purpose of the Swan station and the Staff station. Curious? Then read on:

I haven't found any new theories of SD Wynn. I would love to read more from him but anyway these theories are fantastic.

The EYE M SICK blog
I have recently found this really mind blowing blog. The owner writes the most exciting things about Lost mysteries. Do you want to know how the Black Rock ended up on the island? Or what happens when the donkey wheel is turned? Want to know more about the test the young Locke has to take? Very diverse topics that are each fantastic. If you are a real Lost fan and are interested in quality insights and the all time best theories you have to read this blog. Seriously.

There is lots of stuff to read and think about on these blogs. When I have found new sources that are worthy calling the best of the best I will post them here. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Lost's main theme is the time travel we all know this. There is this great theory, The Timelooptheory , about this subject which you probably know already. You can read the Timelooptheory here.
As far as I know this guy was one of the first to write about Lost and time travel. He has just revised his theory for season 5 so it's still entertaining. Check it out!



There are many great theories on the ABC TV show Lost. It is amazing what some people come up with trying to explain the mysteries of the popular TV series. But like I said, there are a few that are really outstanding. Those people show knowledge of all sorts of disciplines like mythology, ancient cultures, quantum mechanics, history and psychology. They have written some very interesting theories about all kinds of Lost mysteries.

Jeff Jensen's theory is based on the following segments:

THE ISLAND: It's Alive!
THE DHARMA INITIATIVE: Head Games
THE HATCH: Human Testing
THE NUMBERS: Those Damn Yankees!
THE ANSWER TO 'LOST': The Island Is Haunted by a Powerful Psychic

A bit outdated but still very interesting. For the most recent Jeff Jensen posts on Lost Season 5 check out the link above.

• Why are many characters names references to big philosophers from the enlightenment age?
• What is the major similarity between Lost and the bible?
• Is Lost a complaint against today's society?

Jeff Jensen has some interesting explanations.

Who are the real bad guys?
"We are the good guys Michael" is what Benjamin Linus said in episode 23 of season 2. I have always had mixed feelings towards Ben's role in the show. No matter what he did I couldn't suppress the gut feeling that Ben still is a good guy. Especially after the fourth season. Ben's power is deteriorating and he is now also a victim. The producers have made us think there are much bigger enemy's. So who is the real enemy? Does it appear to be Ben after all? Is it Widmore? The Dharma Initiative or do we have to look in another direction? I have read a short but interesting theory about this subject.
