Can some of the Lost’s enduring mysteries be solved?

Craig goes back to the island in an attempt to get closure…

It is generally accepted thatLostwas a TV show that both amazed and frustrated in equal measure.

This is a nice way of saying they made it up as they went along.

Season sixs flash-sideways has arguably been the most misinterpreted element ofLosts ending.

Many people believe the parallel world represented a purgatory or indicated that the cast were dead all along.

Yes, the characters were returned to their original timeline post-explosion but that was mostly a convenient plot machine.

Further proof in support of this theory comes shortly after the survivors find themselves returned to 2007.

And what else could that consequence be other than the creation of the flash-sideways timeline?

In the grand scheme ofLost, its not an Earth-shattering enigma but it is an irritating one.

But when puberty hit, it hit hard for actor Malcolm David Kelly.

and Did that bird really say Hurley?

It also brings back Malcolm David Kelly as our favorite bird-murderer, currently institutionalised in Santa Rosa.

Walt is visited by island-protectors Ben Linus and Hurley who want to return him to the island.

Interestingly, in the final episodes infamous church scene, Walt is notable by his absence.

In all likelihood, this was a casting decision (his father isnt there either).

However, its just possible that theres a little more behind this.

If Walt isnt there, perhaps Walt simply doesnt die.

A difficult one this.

Literally couldnt have been more vague.

It certainly looks that way.

Speculative answer:There are two different possibilities for this.

The second theory, however, fits more neatly into the shows mythology.

This theory would also explain the hostility shown to Locke and Ben during their visit.

Jacobs a nice guy, he wouldnt throw someone across a room now would he?

Speculative answer:There are very few breadcrumbs to follow with this mystery.

Nor can the island simply be a stopper to prevent the release of electromagnetic evil into the wider world.

It would be entirely feasible that this is what the role of protector was originally intended for.

Perhaps, however, these two scenarios are one and the same.

And thus our foray into the remaining mysteries ofLostcomes to an end.

Undoubtedly there are more points for discussion than just the ones covered here.

Who killed the remaining Ajira flight passengers?

and Who built the Lamp Post station?

Will this landmark piece of television ever be revisited on screen?
