WALT!!! They’ve got my boiiieeeeee!

— khurt

Michael turned out to be an asshole. That’s cool though, I never liked him anyway. It is my fondest wish that he sails off into the ocean; never to return.

However, based on the fact that the creator/writers of the show are admitted Star Wars fans, I speculate that Michael is about to get the Lando treatment. That is…he will come back to save his friends (Jack, Kate and Sawyer) as a way to redeem himself for his earlier actions (see: shooting everyone not pretending to be Henry Gale).

The reason I call it the “Lando Theory” is based on the fact that most stories (at least these days) try to avoid labeling one race as “bad”. Based on the fact that Michael is part of a minority race on the show (along with just Walt and Eko), I don’t believe that the writers would write-off his character as a villian. At this point, the only thing he could do to redeem himself is save his friends from the “others”.

Maybe Michael doesn’t do it on his own. Maybe Walt helps or instigates the rescue himself. Perhaps he uses his magical powers of telekenesis to move his (supposed) giant 4-toed foot over to squish fake Henry (Python style).

That would be sweet.

If you want to go back and watch the episode, Michael and Jack exchange a look. You could interpret it as acknowledgment of a pre-determined plan to rescue the losties. Of course, it could also just be a meaningless look. But hey — it’s a theory.
