Five of the Oceanic Six minus Aaron , whom Kate had given to Claire's mother took Ajira Airways flight to get back to the island, because it happened to fly over the location where Eloise Hawking had calculated the island would appear. Flight was piloted by Frank Lapidus. Eloise also informed the Oceanic Six that they had to, as best as possible, recreate the circumstances in which they originally arrived at the Island. They did so by having a few original passengers of Flight with the body of John Locke representing both himself and as a proxy for Christian Shephard 's body thanks to a particular pair of shoes being placed upon his feet by Jack.
Upon the return of the five to the island, three of them died Jack, Sayid, and Sun and one remained on the island Hurley. Kate was the only member to escape the island a second time.

Remember Sun and Jin's submarine? Check out how it ranks among the 20 most shocking deaths in recent TV history! All over again. There were few dry eyes in the room as Lost' s big bosses Damon LIndelof and Carlton Cuse faced fans for the first time since the iconic TV series went off the air three years ago and answered the big questions they have never addressed: Were they really dead the whole time? What was the point of the whole show?
Trending Stories. Team Hurley. Always and forevah! Indeed, he somehow made it off the island, and it was he who warned the Oceanic Six that it is up to them to return and save those they left behind. The independent student newspaper of The University of Chicago since Toggle navigation. From very early on in Lost 's run, fans worried the show would end with a "they were dead the whole time" twist.
Sure, creator J. Abrams and showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse repeatedly denied speculation that the characters died in the crash, and that the island was a form of purgatory. Still, some thought the finale's church-set ending confirmed that Abrams, Lindelof, and Cuse had been lying the whole time, and that the entire show had taken place in the afterlife.
Further evidence used to support this claim was footage of the original plane crash that aired over the closing credits, showing empty beaches, which some fans thought meant there'd been no survivors.
But it turns out that the crash footage at the end was never meant to be considered as part of the finale. Instead, it was included so fans could " decompress ," readjust, and collect themselves as the show transitioned to the 11 PM news. ABC network executives never imagined that viewers would consider this part of the show's narrative. Further, "The End" takes pains to explicitly clarify that all the events that took place on the island were, in fact, real.
During the church scene, Christian Shephard John Terry explains to Jack Matthew Fox that everything on the island did indeed come to pass. In fact, it was "the most important period" in the Oceanic survivors' lives. After five seasons filled with flashbacks and, eventually, flash-forwards, the first episode of season six included something Lost fans were totally unprepared for: a flash- sideways , exploring an alternate reality in which Oceanic Flight doesn't crash, and the plane lands safely at LAX.
However, the plane crash isn't the only thing different about the two realities. Instead of being a con man, Sawyer Josh Holloway is a cop. And the childless Jack suddenly has a teenage son whose mother is none other than Juliet Elizabeth Mitchell , a woman he met on the island. But is this all a dream? Is it maybe a parallel dimension created by the wonky powers of the island?
Or is this the true timeline, and maybe the island is just an elaborate "what if" scenario? Well, in "The End," the flash-sideways is revealed to be the afterlife, where all the Oceanic survivors are brought back together following their deaths. In a way, it is a sort of purgatory where they each have to make peace with the struggles of their lives before they can recognize one another and move on together.
This is where the Lost finale tripped up many of its viewers, who reasonably assumed that in order for all of the characters on the show to have arrived in the afterlife at the same time, they had to have died at the same time. But as logical as this reasoning appears at first glance, it doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. Not only does it fail to explain the presence of characters like Juliet and Ben Michael Emerson , who weren't on board Oceanic , but it doesn't account for all of the shared memories they recover once they recognize each other.
The explanation given in "The End" is that they all died at different times, some way back in season one, and others many years after the end of season six. But time works differently in the afterlife. To the characters, it feels as though they all arrived around the same time, even if their actual deaths were many decades apart.
The only thing they all had in common was that none of the characters in the flash-sideways died during the plane crash. While we'd be here all day if we tried to list every death that ever occurred on Lost , here's what we know about the deaths of the people in the church. Boone Ian Somerhalder dies in season one, succumbing to his injuries after a fall. Shannon dies early in season two after being accidentally shot by Ana Lucia Michelle Rodriguez , and Libby Cynthia Watros dies toward the end of the second season after being shot by Michael Harold Perrineau.
Charlie Dominic Monaghan dies in season three, drowning after warning Desmond Henry Ian Cusick that the boat outside is "not Penny's boat. Juliet dies at the beginning of season six after falling down a shaft and detonating a bomb.
Sayid dies midway through season six saving his friends from a bomb, and Sun and Jin die later in the same episode, drowning together in a sinking submarine.
And Jack dies at the end of the series finale, after being stabbed by the Man in Black. There are also a good number of deaths that are left up to our imaginations. Kate, Rose L. And as the new protectors of the island, Hurley Jorge Garcia and Ben likely outlive the other survivors by quite a wide margin, but at some point, they must eventually die as well.
A good portion of the finale focuses on the question of who will fill Jacob's Mark Pellegrino role as the protector of the Heart of the Island, which turns out to be a magical, glowing pool at the island's center.
This pool is supposedly the source of all life, death, and rebirth, and according to Jacob, it's the cork holding back a malevolent force that could destroy the world. In the finale, this is revealed to be a literal cork, which Desmond pulls to drain the pool, nearly getting everyone killed.
The Heart of the Island also emits a strong electromagnetic field and can manipulate space and time, as evidenced by the relocation of the island and the time travel in earlier episodes.
It's also implied to have a form of consciousness, or at least self-preservation, granting immortality to the humans who are willing to take on the responsibility of keeping it safe. While some of the earlier mysteries of Lost were revealed to have at least moderately plausible sci-fi explanations, the Heart of the Island requires viewers to accept some elements of the supernatural as well. No details are ever given about the origins of the Heart of the Island, but it's said that a piece of its light is inside every living thing, and if it goes out, so do we.
Throughout the series, we see that many of the characters on the show have some sort of connection before ever boarding the plane, implying that they were always predestined to board the same doomed flight and end up on the island together. However, in Lost 's final season, we learn more about the way that Jacob has been pulling strings for years, traveling around the world in order to bring a group of potential "candidates" to the island, in the hopes of finding someone capable of taking over for him as the island's protector.
He knew his brother, the Man in Black Titus Welliver , was searching for a way to kill him and would eventually succeed. Jacob's intent was to find a successor before that happened. Jacob chose people who reminded him of himself — individuals who were alone and flawed, and who'd come to depend on the island as much as it would rely on them to keep it safe.
All of the survivors of Oceanic fit this criteria, and as the series progressed and he was able to observe their interactions on the island, Jacob began slowly whittling down his list of candidates. None of the connections we saw between the characters in flashbacks were fated or accidental. All of them were engineered by Jacob. Throughout the series, one of Lost 's most enduring mysteries is the nature of the smoke monster, a seemingly sentient column of black smoke that occasionally attacks and even kills people on the island.
And it turns out that the smoke monster is another form of the Man in Black, Jacob's immortal twin brother. So how did that come about? Well, after killing their mother, the Man in Black is transformed when Jacob throws him into the Heart of the Island. For the next years, Jacob and the Man in Black oppose one another, as the Man in Black searches for a way around the supernatural law that keeps him from killing Jacob.
As the smoke monster, he can't be killed, but he also can't leave. Over the years, he assumes his smoke monster form in order to kill the candidates Jacob brings to the island, hoping that if Jacob dies and leaves no successor, the Man in Black can finally leave. Ultimately, though, the Man in Black's immortality is linked to the Heart of the Island, so when Desmond temporarily shuts it down in the finale, he's made mortal and killed by Kate and Jack, ending the smoke monster forever.
After Jack is appointed as Jacob's successor as protector of the island, he promptly gets into a knife fight with the Man in Black, where he's mortally wounded.
