While Jack was initially chosen to replace Jacob as a guardian, he then passed the torch onto Hurley, whom I think is a much more fitting choice. My conclusion is that the island was limbo, with Jacob and his brother acting as sort of archangels or guardians of the island to maintain the balance between good (the golden life force of the island) and evil (the smoke monster). The article asserts that the sideways world was the bardo and the island the real world, however, it also states that Lost viewers can also draw their own conclusions. Last night was the television event of the year the Lost finale.Īnd lo and behold, the theory most Losties held from the very beginning, that the island was some kind of purgatory, was semi-correct.Īccording to this article from Jezebel(because I need some outside sources to help me come to grips with the confusion of the show), the sideways world we became familiar with this season was a “bardo” a phase experienced by the deceased “between dying and rebirth” in Buddhism.
