Lost: Everything that Really Happened, Happened or Answering Everything in Lost
Chapter Two: The Jacobite Rebellion
So Lilith delivered Claudia's two children, one whom Claudia had named Jacob, and the other to whom Claudia had given no name, because she had been ignorant of his existence. Lilith, profoundly misanthropic and afraid of the outside world to such an extent that she preferred not to think of its existence, did three things: first, she murdered Claudia. Secondly, she deigned to give no name to the second child, and brought him up in a world of pronouns. Thirdly, she told the children who she raised as hers (and in the false belief that they were hers biologically - not that she gave them a thorough understanding of biology, preferring to omit the sperm part entirely from her lessons) that there was no such …

(Or: Answering Everything in Lost)
Chapter One: The Volcano of Life
In the beginning was the Island. And the Island was with the Earth, just one piece of stardust settled atop another, larger piece. Sometime after the formation of our planet 4.6bn years ago, the Island was formed by tectonic plates rubbing against each other and pushing land up to create a volcano. This volcano is the Island.
So long ago was this that this particular volcano became the bedrock of the Earth, channeling water and starlight in such a way as to generate life upon the Island, which began as bacteria. This reaction is what life depends on for its continued existence aboard the Earth, and should the reaction be stopped, all of those nearby dependent reactions it spa…
SO IN THE END...
"Increasing like a bell. Names in my ears
Of all the lost adventurers, my peers -
How such a one was strong, and such was bold,
And such was fortunate, yet each of old
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years."
- Robert Browning, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came"
The end of Lost is just such a moment. Jack, in the moment of his death, was finally able to achieve the catharsis of a this-time-permanent saving of others from the island, as Kate, Sawyer, Claire, Frank, Miles and Richard escaped. As he lay dying, he flashed forward to the future, when, upon the moment his consciousness would next awake, he would be in what Larry Underwood of The Stand called "a staging area...before going out to play." In my ever-scientific view, this is …
things for the cast to do after lost: idea: dark tower films
If anyone out there doesn't know, high profile people behind Lost have bought the Dark Tower series film rights from Stephen King, himself a huge Lost fan who has referenced it in at least 2 of his books, for $19. What price several of the key roles in the saga going to Lost acting alumni? Feel free to agree or shoot them down (indeed even to shoot the whole idea down) but these are my first thoughts, some of which I'll admit I am highly dubious about myself.
Jeff Fahey as Roland Deschain
Blake Bashoff as Eddie Dean
April Grace (Ms. Klugh) as Susannah Dean
Terry O'Quinn as the Man in Black
Michael Emerson as Jack Mort (a bespectacled psychopathic serial killer)
Alan Dale as Pere Callahan
Lela Loren (Claudia from Across the Sea) as Susan Delgado
