Final Season of Lost: 50 Things I Wasted My Time Thinking About
It's a fun game for the whole family!
As we enter the final act, here's my list of things I wasted my time thinking about which I now believe will never be explained. I hope I'm wrong about at least some of these, but I suspect we will never get answers to the following things that we wasted our time and energy discussing here on the boards...
1. Why did a live human have to push the button?
2. Why every 108 minutes?
3. Why do the number keep recurring everywhere?
4. What did the button do?
5. What did the failsafe do?
6. If the failsafe worked, why did they keep pushing the button?
7. Why did Jin disappear with the Island when he was behind the helicopter?
8. Why did some of the Ajira people go to 1977 and some to the present?
9. Why did Smokey kill the pilot?
10. Why did Jacob invite some people to the Island but manipulate others against their will?
11. Why did they have to recreate the plane crash?
12. How did a polar bear wander into the wheelroom to go to Tunisia?
13. Is Walt actually special?
14. Why did Walt appear to Shannon and Locke?
15. Why did the Smoke Monster need Locke's body specifically to execute his plan?
16. How did the Smoke Monster recreate Locke when Locke's body didn't crash on the main Island?
17. What happened to Yemi's body? (Smokey didn't need Locke's body to impersonate Locke.)
18. Why is the Smoke Monster now *stuck* in Locke's body?
19. Did Ben actually talk to someone in the cabin or not?
20. What's the deal with the cabin? Who was in it the first time Locke went?
21. If the Others and Jacob are the "good guys," why did they kill people so ruthlessly?
22. Why was Ben able to call the Smoke Monster from a drain in his basement when the Others are supposed to be aligned with Jacob against the Smoke Monster?
23. Why did the Others pose as wild people and walk barefoot through the jungle (then suddenly stop doing so once they were exposed)?
24. Why did the Others let Danielle's broadcast continue for 16 years?
25. Why was the blast door map in invisible ink?
26. Why does Miles have to power to hear the dead?
27. Does the circle of ash keep Smokey out or not? If yes, how could Smokey get into the Temple to kill everyone?
28. Why are men super-fertile on the Island but women die during pregnancy?
29. How could Charlotte and Ethan be born on the Island given the above?
30. Why did Eko's brother's plane end up on the Island?
31. Why did Desmond foresee Claire leaving the Island on the helicopter when that did not, in fact, happen?
32. How did Mrs. Hawking know to go to the jewelry story to meet Desmond when Desmond never told that story to Daniel so he could write it in his journal?
33. How did Mrs. Hawking know the Red Shoes guy was going to be killed when Daniel had no way of knowing this so he could write it in his journal?
34. Where did the flaming arrows that killed all the remaining redshirts come from?
35. If the Temple waters corrupt anyone who is healed by them, why do the Others ever put anyone into the water?
36. How did Sun manage to take over her father's company with no business experience and a settlement that couldn't have been more than a couple million dollars?
37. What deal did Sun strike with Widmore?
38. Why did Christian/Jacob/The Island go to so much trouble to keep Michael alive when he accomplished nothing on his return to the Island that couldn't have been done by any random person?
39. HOW did the Christian/Jacob/The Island keep Michael (and anyone else alive)?
40. Why was Christian/Jacob/The Island keeping Ben alive when he wasn't special, wasn't allowed to talk to Jacob and just ended up killing Jacob anyway?
41. What's the deal with the guys in the Antarctic who called Penny?
42. Why did Jack change his mind about going back to the Island? His conversation with Locke was not convincing. Also when we finally saw that conversation why did Locke not say any of the things to Jack that Jack told Ben Locke had said?
43. Why could the supply plane reach the Island to do Dharma airdrops without any problem but everyone else trying to get to the Island had to jump through hoops?
44. What exactly are the whispers?
45. Why did the whispers know to say "It'll come back around" to Sawyer?
46. Why did Ben think that he needed to kill Locke?
47. Why did Ben want to be judged by the Monster? (Or rather, what made Ben think that the Monster judges people and why would he court the Monster at all if the Monster is Jacob's enemy?)
48. Why did Widmore order his people to capture Ben and kill everyone on the Island?
Just to make an even 50, here's two things I didn't actually waste time on but that bug me in the same vein:
49. If Ben was the one who took Danielle's baby, why did Danielle just hand him over to Sayyid without trying to find out about Alex?
50. Why would Keamey think blowing up the freighter was a good threat to use against Ben when the freighter was full of people who had come to the Island solely to kill Ben?
