Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Death

• As Boone was the sacrifice the island demanded, he and the island became one with his death and burial. When Locke had a vision of Boone in the sweat lodge in "Further Instructions" he was in fact talking to island which used the shape of Boone to communicate with Locke. The island might continue to interact with the survivors in future episodes in this way.
• If Boone didn't die, Locke would not have broken down screaming on the top of the Hatch. It is later shown that this act gives Desmond hope and stops him from ending his own life. Boone's purpose in death was to save Desmond and the rest of the Island inhabitants and perhaps the world.
  • In turn, Desmond has been trying to save Charlie from the deaths that he can see in the future.
• When Boone visited Locke in "Further Instructions", it was a manifestation of the monster.
• Died because he was meant to be in first class (the front section).
• Boone was literally a sacrifice the island demanded. In Locke's dream he saw Boone bloodied and saying "Teresa falls up the stairs, Teresa falls down the stairs." That is a phrase only Boone would know about. The phrase came to Locke in his dream, The Island sent him this phrase, because he would need to say it to Boone in order to convince him that he should come with Locke to look for the plane. Boone would be mystefied as to why Locke new about Teresa, and then decide to trust him and help him. The fact that Boone was bloody in the dream was the Island telling/hinting to Locke, that Boone would need to die. So in short, the Island sent Locke that dream as a way to lure Boone to his death, a sacrifice the Island demanded.

Future Discoveries

• Boone's father is Bernard and he knows it, however since Bernard was with the Tailies, he never saw him and didn't know he was on the plane.
  • Bernard is about the correct age.
