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.

• THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION PAGE! Please comment on/discuss theories at the theory discussion page. This theory page is NOT for discussing and arguing.
• Write theories as fact. Avoid "I think" statements.
• Please try to place theories on other theory pages before placing them here. This prevents this page from becoming overloaded and unreadable. (And, if a lot of people edit it, crashing.) (For example, if Jacob was seen in this episode, place theories about him in the Jacob theory page, not on this page, even if your theory stems from events in this episode.)
• Consider placing your theories in a user blog.
• Create as many sections and subsections as possible.
• Place evidence with your theories. Do not place un-supported theories. If you cite the producers of Lost, you must provide a link to the interview/podcast.

• Do not insist on adding debunked theories.
• If you are not sure if your theory is appropriate or not, read the theory policy and a sysop's interpretation of it. Ask on the talk page if in doubt.

FST CONSCIOUSNESS TO THE RESCUE!

• Desmond is trying and eventually will force Locke's FST consciousness into the OT. That way Flocke become Locke again but merged with the original consciousness of the MIB so that he is the MIB but with consciousness of Locke. I always had a feeling that Locke was going to come back as Locke. Especially because of Jacks "Yeah I know Locke, and I wouldn't give up on him yet" line during the Season 5 finale. This way, Jack become the new Jacob and Locke is the new MIB but instead of warring with each other the will peacefully coexist. Black and White. Yin and Yang.

Desmond's Collision with Locke: Revenge

• Since Desmond's mind is aware of two time-lines and he thought MIB was the real Locke, he wanted to take revenge on Locke for throwing him into the well in OT.
  • This seems less likely as Desmond has now found his purpose. He did not appear angry or distressed when he ran down Locke. He seemed to have a very good reason for doing it.
  • Or probably Desmond, somehow, knows that Locke and Jack will meet at the hospital, and this encounter (and a physical touch) will lead both to remember the Island timeline.

Desmond's Collision with Locke: Recreating a De Ja Vu Flash

Desmond was attempting to force a shift of consciousness from sideways Locke to main time line Locke.

De Ja Vu Prior to Oceanic 815 Crash

• Desmond was attempting to recreate the most traumatic event in Locke's main-timeline existence, his fall from an 8 story building at the hands of his father. In the alt-timeline, Locke's relations w/ father are seemingly good so we can assume his disability did not arise this way.

De Ja Vu After Oceanic 815 Crash

• Desmond wants Locke to regain his ability to walk -- running him over is an excuse to get him to a hospital where spinal super surgeon Jack can work his magic. The moment alt-Locke regains his "footing" is the critical experience-parallel that will open his eyes ala Desmond, Charlie, Hurley, Faraday, etc.
• Locke had no love on the island so giving him a near death experience was the only way to shift his mind to normal timeline Locke
  • It is not clear if Desmond is aware of who precisely Flocke is. He tells Flocke he is Locke, but it is possible he was lying to Flocke for his own purposes.
  • Locke arguably holds a characteristic unlike any of the other passengers on Oceanic 815. Most of our Losties (Jack, Hurley, Desmond, Charlie) have had someone that they loved on the Island in the OT. Even Ben could be argued to have had Alex as his sort of "love-themed constant" that would aid him in the memory recall that we're seeing in the Side-Timeline. In fact, as of yet, all the scenes showing us characters recalling memories from the OT are intimate and romantic. Which begs the question, what memories would come fleeting back to Locke? As strange as it sounds, Locke's closest "love" or "companion" on the Island in the OT was the Island itself - Youl
    • To take it a step further- perhaps alt-Locke will merge with pre-MiB Locke meaning we will have the revival of the Locke everyone loves!

Desmond's Collision with Locke: Disrupting MiB's Plans At Large

• fLocke will attempt to use the sideways timeline as his way of escape from the island and Desmond was attempting to kill the vessel he would escape to (FST Locke's body)
  • At the beginning of the episode, Desmond said to Fake Locke "You are John Locke"; In a previous episode this season, Ilana said that the MIB cannot change from John Locke's body; So - in the island reality, MIB IS John Locke; Everyone on the island has an alternate self in the alternate universe; So, in order to trap the MIB (John Locke) on the island, Desmond has to remove John Locke from the alternate universe to keep MIB from being able to exist there; Therefore, Desmond attempted to kill John Locke by running him down with his car.RealKate 04:00, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Desmond/Locke

• It appears that when FLocke initially embarks on his excursion with Desmond, that he's doing what he's done time and time before. Journeying through the jungle, talking about good and evil, maybe he'll treat you to some scrumptious boar, or show you a cave on the side of a cliff, or even an ancient well. Regardless of the method, Flocke's goal is always to try to lure and manipulate people in believing (in) him. However, at the well, once the theatrics were done, Flocke appeared significantly distressed by Demsond's light-hearted responses and his overall invulnerability in being afraid at that moment. Flocke's failure in swaying Desmond's heart infuriated him. This, ironically, made Flocke fearful of what Desmond may be capable of. Afterall, if Flocke merely had the soul intention of simply disposing of Desmond (as in dead) he could have done it much much earlier - Youl
• Desmond knows that Locke is the MiB. He simply told him he believed he was Locke to trick him.
• "You're John Locke" should be interpreted as "You're 'John Locke'" -- a deliberate non-answer and both of them know it.
• Desmond seemed to know that his fate was to end up in the well. He very willingly went with Sayid, and again went very willingly with Locke and 'wasn't even afraid.'

The Well:Frozen Donkey Wheel

• Desmond is in the well with the Frozen Donkey Wheel

The Well:A new well

• Desmond is in a different well with an as-yet unseen device inside of it
• The well is what it seems, it was created a long time ago to access one of the electromagnetic pockets that Jin had previously mapped.

Michael was not really Michael

• The Man in Black is impersonating Michael, as he has done with many other dead people, to convince Hugo that he should not blow up the plane and instead convince him to talk with him. This allows Locke to deceive the remaining candidates, who followed Hugo, to board the plane and leave the island so he can get his wish to leave.

Consequences

• Hurley is taking his first steps toward being the leader that Jacob wants him to be, but there will be consequences for his actions. These could be any of the following:

1. 1. The MiB will kidnap/force the remaining candidates to get on the Ajira flight, ending everything.
   2. Hurley will sabotage the plane at the last minute.
   3. One or more of the non-candidates will be killed.
   4. Desmond will somehow prevent the plane from taking off.
   5. Richard's group will prevent the plane from taking off.
