Your theory on the ending of the series Lost?

So, producers have revealed that the ending of Lost will be to the likes of the ending of Sopranos in that fans of the show will end up really liking it or really hating it.

So, it gets me thinking, what are the plausible possibilities to end the show that would make for such a jarring mindbending ending.

My top two theories based on what we know now is going on:

1. Everything that you've seen on Lost never happens because of the events that take place that destroy the island forever and before the characters' time. To me that would be a good ending, original, very lost like.

2. They could really model after Sopranos and end the show with no decision where Jack, the hero of the story, comes to the climactic point of the series and the show ends. This would upset me because it would be too unoriginal to copy Sopranos in that aspect, but at the same time would make sense ultimately saying with everything they've shown you on Lost, anything is possible and mostly unpredictable and nothing more than an ending like that would say it more.

Update:

good thought Steve, but long been a discredited theory that Lost is all just a dream.

Update 2:

well you know how Sopranos ended with everyone saying the writer David Chase showed the viewers his middle finger with his ending...I would not be surprised if something similar happened here. The idea with an ending is to be unpredictable and to change the whole way you thought about the entire show. I expect nothing less.

    I keep thinking they are all dead. There's the vying for power between John Locke and Jacob. Also there are all the different story lines going on at the same time. The time warping and time travel, personality changes. Who knows. I think they will have a spectacular ending.....their fans should expect nothing less.

    I think that everything that happened on the island was real, and that when people died, they went to purgatory- which was the flash-sideways. They were a way for all the characters to find each other so they could finally move on and let go. They all came together in the end to go to heaven, and time was not a constant- like they all died at different times, but then met up in the flash-sideways hope that kind of helped

    My answer is kinda similar to the last guy. I think that the show will end with Jack's eye showing like in the begining. The show is really confusing. Or the plan really did crash and they are dead. Who knows though?

    I've never tried to figure out where the story is going, I just enjoy the show episode by episode.
