the lost isle

So we all know who the Oceanic Six are: Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sun, Hurley, and Aaron. So what has happened to the rest of the Islands inhabitants?

I think we all know from Jacks comments in “Something Nice Back Home” that Sawyer actually chose to stay on the Island. So why was he given a choice? And did the other Losties have a choice whether or not to stay? Also, why didn’t Kate decide to stay given that she’s a wanted criminal in the “real world”?

I’m going to write about each character and give my opinion on where they’re at by the end of Season 4. This is total speculation and my opinion only, so don’t be afraid of spoilers, as I don’t do spoilers!

Sawyer
I think Sawyer chose to stay because he became a different man on the Island. Far from the insensitive con-man he was back in Season One, Sawyer seems to be compassionate now and cares for other people. I also think that he chose to stay to keep looking for Claire. He doesn’t know if she’s dead or alive, and until he finds her (or her body) I don’t think he’s going to give up.

Locke
I think Locke will suffer some serious consequences of The Orchid and doubt that he’d even know about anyone being rescued, or given the choice. I think he will succeed in moving the Island but to what consequences I’m not sure yet. Maybe the Island suffers a time distortion and Locke is left without the use of his legs again. Although I’m not in favour of that as that has been speculated throughout the whole course of LOST and don’t think the writers will go down that route.

Desmond
Ohhh it doesn’t look so good for Desmond at this current moment, being on the bomb-filled freighter and all. I really have a bad feeling that he is going to his demise which I really don’t want to happen as Desmond is one of my favourite characters. I just feel that the whole Desmond&Penny phone conversation was the end of their storyline and I wouldn’t be surprised if we had to say bye-bye to Des (I hope I’m wrong!).

Rose and Bernard
Rose wanted to stay on the Island because it had cured her cancer, but at the end of Season 3 she seemed like she wanted to be rescued. That being said, I think they are both alive and well on the Island, I just think that they weren’t given a choice whether or not to stay.

Ben
I think the ending of the finale episode will be Ben looking for a way out of being captured by Keamy and co. and it will end in such a way that we’ll be thinking “Will he escape? Won’t he escape?” until the beginning of Season 5.

Claire
I’m hoping we will see more of Claire in this episode and find out why she has left Aaron to join Christian. I think she will more than likely still be with Christian by the end of the episode.

Richard Alpert and the Others
One thing I know for sure is that they can’t kill of Richard Alpert - they just can’t! He is integral to the show and we have so much more to find out about him. I think he and the Others will be safe at the Temple at the end of the episode (or maybe some of the Others get killed in the process?).

Juliet, Jin and other Losties
Juliet has been counting the days until she could go home, so I don’t think she’d pass up the chance. Jin wouldn’t want to leave his pregnant wife alone. I think that Juliet, Jin and the rest of the Losties had no choice in the matter. They had to stay on the Island and that’s that.

I have no idea if I’m right on any scale, but I thought it’d be interesting to get these opinions down before the finale airs tonight. We’ll see just how right wrong I was ;)
