MTV asked several NYC morons (excluding the tall guy) how they felt about the unanswered questions on LOST and most of them complain about crap they told us:
Aaron: it was revealed that the psychic who told Claire that her baby was special, was found out to be a fraud in the episode that he appears in that is Eko centric (I suck at title names for shows). That was the writers' way of letting that secret out, yet being sneaky about it.
Walt: they never explain him. Oh, well, they also never explained why Miles could commune with the dead.
The Island: The island is NOT what you make it to be! The island did in fact exist (under Jacob's rules) Hurley is believed to have changed Jacob's rules (thus allowing people to leave the island if they wish.) The island (I believe) was a testing facility for all of the cast (but the series focuses on Jack) [more in the next part]
Alternate Timeline: THIS was a sort of purgatory where our cast was to find one another after their test. Once they were found and united they would move forward to their Heaven. Basically the show was saying that these people created their own afterlife built of the most important people in their lives. Jack asks his father if they are dead and Christian replies: "Some before you and some long after you." He later says that "there is no 'now,' here." Meaning that time is irrelevant in the afterlife.
So to help the lady who refused to listen and finds it odd that Sawyer can be on the Aijira flight and simultaneously in the afterlife; there is no such thing as what we know as time in their afterlife. It runs parallel with the belief that we all are in Heaven prior to being born, then when we die here on Earth we return there. LOST had it be where our souls are in the afterlife already waiting for us, they already lived our life. Our bodies are just vessels for the Earth and once the body dies that part of your spirit (call it your mind, or conscious what have you) returns to your soul.
As to why Faraday, Miles, Charlotte and Lepidus are not gathered with our Losties, Desmond answers that to Eloise Hawking (Faraday's mother) when she asks "Are you taking my son?" and Desmond replies with "Ay, but not with me." Faraday did not have a deep relationship with the Losties, he had a stronger bond with Charlotte (who also didn't share much with our Losties). I feel that Miles and Lepidus should have been with them since they spent the most time with them, but this could be answered by them not realizing that the Alternate Timeline was the afterlife (we never saw Miles, Lepidus or Charlotte ever come to this realization, perhaps it happens at a later time <-- but how could it if time does not exist there? AAAAHHHhhhh...) To break it down further in case that woman is still confused; it's possible to exist in the Real World (i.e. Island) and simultaneously in the Alternate Timeline (aka afterlife) the show explained it but it used a bunch of big words and asked us to listen and slightly interpret. So just pretend that you got it. My remaining questions are what is up with the DHARMA station The Door? Or the Hurley Bird? Those are what truly matter.
I hope I helped in an obnoxious way ;)
