Theories about Oceanic Six

Main Discussion

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.

Number of survivors according to cover story

• The reason why they had to say that there were people who survived the crash but died later is that they fear someone might intercept Claire's message that she attached to the seagull in "Par Avion". It said that (1) there had been deaths on the Island, and (2) new life. So the story would have to contain at least two deaths and one birth.
• The reason why the oceanic six said that boone,charlie,and libby survived the crash is because they wanted to make their fabricated story realistic

Why only the Oceanic Six escaped

• The six who escaped were not meant to be on Oceanic flight 815 - Jack had problems with Christian's Coffin, Hurley almost missed it, Aaron was supposed to be adopted, Sun was going to leave Jin. Kate had no problems being on the plane, possibly why she is the only one who we haven't seen suffering in flashforwards.

Significance of Show Title

• The producers once stated that the show was ultimately about these characters and being "LOST" in their own lives. It strikes me as truly ironic that they spent the previous 4 seasons struggling to find their way back to civilization; and, that now they must come together to now find the island where they believed themselves to once be lost-but, which has more recently itself "moved" and as a consequence become lost to them. Doubly ironic is the fact that in many ways Ben, who has seemingly always held the cards, so to speak, is now in a similar "LOST" circumstance. By the end of Season 4, all the main characters are more "LOST" than at any point we've seen to date.
  • With the exceptions of Desmond and Penny, who have just now been found through their long-waited reunion.
