What was your Lost theory gone wrong?

Question

From about 6 or 7 episodes out I had a theory I stuck with but it didn't come true, not totally anyway.
My question is what was your theory gone wrong, or if you were really lucky, guessed right?

I shall share mine: "Neither side of the war is good or evil.  It's two guys, Jacob and MIB, playing a game of chess, and whoever wins, wins.  Jacob has a stance, the island is important, needs to be protected.  MIB's stance is the island is just an island and he just wants to be free and go home.  MIB wins.  Events take place in the past which cause the island to be stuck nonexistent in the bottom of the ocean and the altenate reality is revealed to be the new true reality."

I have to say I kind of still halfway believe in some of my theory but I suppose you could argue against me.   I don’t think you can prove that either side was good or evil still.  And the producers kind of said the same thing in the pre finale saying Jacob and his brother were just two guys.  I think the game they played as kids was symbolic and it evolved into a much larger game in protecting and destroying the island.  And the alternate reality is somewhat of a true reality once it converges at the end.  The entire flash sideways blew my mind.  And I suppose any great show that can give you a glimpse in a theme of death will do well if done right and I can’t imagine a better ending.  Every scene where a character found their “constant” and remembered the events of the island, it gave me chills.  And then Christian drops the bomb to Jack that they are all dead, that was it.  Quite fitting that the Christian Shepherd opens the door for all of them to pass on together.

Very deep satisfying ending.

I totally agree with you about the ending. I am a little bit confused about it, though I am grasping it more and more as time goes on. 
The first thing I got right was finishing about 3 lines in the show. 2 of Christian Shepherd's and one of Hurley's. This may seem insignificant, but it made me happy! ;-)
I didn't think that either side was evil, which I guess was kinda of right, like you said. I would have bet money that Sawyer would die a heroic death from MIB and Kate would die. I honestly didn't peg the writers for even a kind-of happy ending. I SO called that the ending would be like the inverse of the very beginning: Jack closing his eyes lying on his back in the little bamboo place with Vincent next to him. 
I also called that it would be Hurley who ultimately took over Jacob's job. 
I am still in shock. Like, major shock. Is it really over? WHY/HOW can they be dead? 
Aw man. I am so sad!!!

I very much agree with your idea that the ending was good: a lot of other people seemed to hate it just because it wasn't quite what they wanted. My opinion is: if you weren't satisfied with the ending, then you can't have really liked the show to begin with.
I have a confession: I couldn't be bothered to read your long details, but I noticed the bit about Jacob's game, and Christian opening the door. I thought they were good symbolic attributes too.
I'm glad I finally found someone who was satisfied with the ending!

i think Walt meant that they have got been pretending to stay in tents and be as they looked whilst particularly he knew they have been docs and scientists and the camp became into purely for Michael's earnings. i think Dharma Initiative became into an previous study group that has considering been deserted. yet quite often i think that the coach is so complicated which you would be able to no longer help yet watch it. basically once you think of you artwork something out they throw a curve at you. i like it !!!
