Lost (yeah, yeah, had to be made)

well I pretty much don't think my theory was right already
I think someone has set this up as some kind of game

Alright this time I've figured out lost for real

Claire's baby, Aaron, gets raised wrong, and grows up to become evil. At some point he will travel into the past. Aaron becomes the smoke monster (I'm not sure how, but I bet there is a sci-fi explanation for it).
The alternate reality Aaron is raised correctly, however, and he crosses over into our reality, and he becomes Jacob. His powers and ability to influence others are largely due to the fact that he is from a different universe and there is some sort of paradox at play.

I think if you keep this in mind while watching the show, it seems pretty consistent with what is going on. The theory is incomplete but I suspect it is close to what happens.

As I have no life and couldn't sleep I got up at 6am this morning to watch the lost finale before work.

Anyone else seen it yet?

Watched it, they ultimately piss on the fanbase and don't piss on the fanbase at the same time.

We have a saying. Don't piss in my pocket and tell me it's raining.

I thought they explained the flash-sideways well, but they didn't really explain anything about what the island was. Though I don't think they could have. They answered a lot of questions by showing the light and the origins of the smoke monster and all that's really important and left is how the guardians got started and what the light means to the rest of the world.

Be interesting to see what Hurley is like after being the new "Jacob" after 2000 years though
