OK, so one of the clues this year in the off season has been the March has 32 days story from the Comic book that Alpert Offered the Young John Locke to pick from the items in Season 4 (hopefully you know all of this, if not, the theory will make no sense).
Anyways, in the March has 32 days story, a group of scientists in the future try to figure out how the earth worked in a way in which it gave in extra day in March. They then flashback to the day, where a Dr. John Billings is living the day of march 31st, and instead of inspecting a bridge, he in fact says goodbye to his wife who is leaving from an airport, and the bridge then collapses and but no one gets hurt…. however, He still feels guilty, etc…John then wishes he could live the day over
The next day he wakes up and he gets (and realizes) he is living the day over, with the knowledge of what already happens, he goes inspects the bridge, saves a ton of people, but misses out on saying goodbye to his wife…and the story ends going back to the scientist “We’ll never know why March had 32 days”
OK, now to the thoery….
So, this John Billings may end up a prototype (in situation) on how Jack will get back to the island….my theory is that Jack, wishing to get back to the island in fact, through Ben’s method, finds a way he can get everyone back to that DAY everyone is on the plane.
Now, he has everyone fooled that he wants to get back to the island, but instead, I think he wants the whole thing to never have happened in the first place. I beleive the show may very well end by Jack finding a way to keep the plane from crashing all together. This cementing a whole new fate for all the passengers on flight 815.
I have theorized a couple times about Kate ultimately going to sell Jack out (because of the finale song played in season four .. .Gouge away by the Pixes). I think Kate finds this out (maybe through Ben or something) and tries to stop it and CON jack into something else. But, I at least hope jack wins!
Anyways, I think the Widmore v Ben is solved by the end of Season 5, and Season 6 will have you thinking Jack is getting back to the island, but in fact, he will keep the plane from crashing……
Hi there, really enjoyed reading your theory. So many questions though! Is it really in everyone’s best interests for the plane not to have crashed there? Rose would still have cancer, Kate would be in prison, Jin most probably wouldn’t have made Sun pregnant, Locke would be still be crippled and then Desmond may never have been reunited with Penny. I’m sure theres plenty of others…. Granted, it would obviously benefit those who are dead or presumed dead. I’m thinking that if Jack did this it would be for purely selfish reasons and I just don’t think I’d like this ending! I do agree the comic book story is relevant and a reference to the manipulation of time, but I doubt that it means this scenario in particular. Very imaginative though!
I think Jack is selfish. He’s a doctor, so he inhertently has a GOD and HERO complex, but I think he is selfish. I think after we find out about terrible THINGS that are happening on the island, he in fact says the best thing is to have never gone there in the first place.
I don’t think I’d like the ending either, but if Jack truly has the power, i do think this is what he’d do.
acharaisthekey brilliant theory mate, and really good read!
The only problem I have with the whole “time-loop” kind of theories (I know your theory doesn’t specify this) is that we will never properly see the outcome of the new timeline - unless they do a really stupid montage of what happens in the new timeline.
OH, and no, it is definately not in anyone’s best interest (besides the dead) but we pretend to know they would have lead horrible lives when they got back, that isn’t necessarily the case, it’s just what we presume
oh and +1!!
Great and original theory.
I hadn’t heard about the comic book, but the theory is great! Nice work +1
Good theory. I have always thought that Jack has been becoming more selfish leading up to Season 4. That would be a good twist, but I don’t think it would be the final outcome.
I am 99.99% confident that Jack and the other members of the Oceanic 6 (probably with Ben, probably with Walt, perhaps even with Desmond and Frank and Penny) will all end up back on the Island.
When? Dunno.
Where? Dunno.
How? Dunno.
(But then if I knew all that stuff there’d be little point in me watching!)
If indeed Jack intended to prevent the plane crash, Kate would have every reason to want to stop him. For one thing, she would feel betrayed by Jack, lose affection for him, and use her well-developed survival skills to prevent him from succeeding. Not only would she be saving herself, but Aaron too, in her view.
Remember though, if Jack gets back to that point, and avoids the plane crash….NO ONE WOULD BE THE WISER but himself. Kate wouldn’t even know him.
