I know that any past speculation on my part will probably be wrong, which is fine, but I do want the Big Premise revealed and these questions answered by the end of the show:
Who is in charge? I mean "really" in charge, the one with the final say. The power behind the throne. The man behind the curtain reveal whether it be Satan, God, a character or someone else who clearly says who and what he is.
What is the island? The island has been described as its own character. What exactly is its manifestations, powers and goals?
Where are the main characters going (final fates) One would hope that the final fates of the entire cast is not merely that of final red shirts in a cosmic game of tug-of-war between two supernatural titans.
Why were the main characters really brought to the island? Random coincidence will not be a good explanation of why so many desperate individuals were placed on Flight 815 for it to crash on the island. There should be a rational explanation for why the characters were "needed" in order to resolve the global story line.
How did the supernatural events (such as the disappearing island) happen? Because so much science and scientific theory has been debated, discussed, analyzed and wrestled with, we are entitled to a real clear explanation of the supernatural events and the mechanics of them (including what is the smoke monster, what is it made of, what controls it, and what is its true purpose.)
