Update: in the event that LOST actually does answer these questions tonight, I've decided against typing a long-winded explanation for these mysteries and looking like a tool afterwards. Instead, I've just put a brief description of my theories in parentheses. LOST should speak for itself; whatever is left over, I'll address after the finale. Can't wait for tonight!

Well, I tried to post a really cool list of unanswered questions that I don't think will be answered in the finale . . . but the twist is, I think the show has already indirectly answered them. It was a good post, I thought. But the internet hates me more than MIB hates Jacob, and some glitch in the spacetime continuum caused my post to be devoured by the abyss. It's late so I'm not gonna rewrite it, but I wanted to at least post something since the last couple hours don't seem like a waste. I have to retype the whole thing, but I'll at least give a list of the mysteries that I feel the show has given us enough to answer on our own:

1. What's up with Walt's powers? (People who have certain abilities find their powers are amplified when exposed to the island's electromagnetic field/magic).
2. What is the Sickness? (The corruption caused by the dark energy of the black smoke. The DHARMA "vaccine" was used to protect against this).
3. What's the deal with the DHARMA supply drop? (The drops seem to appear out of nowhere because island time is somewhat out of sync with the outside world).
4. Who built the statue? (Um, the Egyptians, yo.)
5. Why do pregnant women die on the island? (The Incident damaged the island's healing properties, causing the island to kill pregnant women).
6. Who was in the cabin? (Used to be Jacob before we ever visited there, but the Man in Black by the time Ben brought Locke to the cabin).
7. Why is Aaron special? (The psychic was a fraud, so his prophecy about Aaron is not necessarily significant. What matters is if Kate raising Aaron was the right thing for him).

I really do think the show has basically answered these questions and I'm not so worried about them. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to post my actual thoughts, but then again the corrupt nothingness of the black smoke monster may see fit to destroy my work again. We'll just have to see.

Final prediction: the sideways world is a parallel universe where the characters never detonated the bomb. The island upholds the spacetime continuum with some type of cosmic creation energy, and it's the cornerstone of multiple universes. All of the multiverses need to be protected.

And that's all she wrote. See you after the finale!
