| Current Questions (Season 6) | |
| I expect we won't learn the story of Jacob's mothers, where they came from. Nor will we learn the origin of the smoke monster - it was probably just always there contained in the light cave until Jacob threw his brother in. | |
| MiB claims he appeared as Christian. If we are to believe this, then how did he appear off island? And how did he travel over water? And how did he appear in 2 places at once (both as Christian and as unLocke)? | |
| What is the connection between Sun and Locke in sideways world? When she saw him on the stretcher she didn't seem to like him much. | |
| Kate & Sun were visited (and touched) by Jacob yet their names do not appear on the cave wall. "23 - Shephard" was on the wall, but Jack was not supposed to be on Jacob's list. What is the explanation? | Turns out Kate is #51 on the Lighthouse wheel. Ilana told Sun she was there to protect a candidate named Kwan and even Ilana wasn't sure if it was Jin or Sun. |
| Who is the mysterious blonde kid? Why were his arms bloody the first time he appeared to fake Locke? He showed up again in Hurley's episode, quite a bit older. | Now confirmed that was young Jacob. |
| What's the story with Claire, has she become infected as Dogen claims? | |
| Who or what has inhabited Sayid's body? | It doesn't matter anymore  He died while trying to save the Losties on the sub. |
| In 2004 the island is at the bottom of the ocean. In 2007 the island is as we know and love it. What's the explanation of the whole sideways world? | Sideways world is the meeting place for the Losties after they die. |

| Who is Jill, the woman Ben met in the meat market? | |
| What happened to Clair when she went off with Christian? Why did they leave Aaron behind? | Claire now seems to have a new personality and is in kahoots with Christian in the cabin. In season 6 she comes back Rosseau-style, living in the jungle and setting traps. Dogen claims she was infected in the same way as Sayid. |
| How did Harper (Goodwin's wife) appear and disappear so quickly in the woods? What's up with the whispers again? | Note that Harper's diploma has a Hanso Foundation logo. |
| Both Naomi and Ilsa wore bracelets. What do the initials RG stand for? | |
