I like to think that Walt was to be the new protector of the island after Hurley. If you watch the series epilogue, Hurley and Ben tell Walt they "have a job for him", and neither Walt or Michael are in the church in the finale (if memory serves me).

@JaCkmArc0 And I will also say it again, THEY WERE going to delve into itm but didnt have time, they stated in an interview before "The END" that they wont be showing the other side of the scene, but they wanted to but didnt have the time.

The main problem is that people are looking for literal answers, when many of the questions were merely plot devices, not Point A to Point B mysteries/questions.

@ArcisBlade It's been too long so I don't remember any theory on that, although I think it was always the back in the future esque deal where you change the future by altering the past.. but does it really matter HOW? I mean, what does it fulfill knowing the logistics? We want to know why that horse was in the jungle, and why there are skeletons with white and black stones.. but logistics of things like HOW time travel work within the show.. what does that serve?

@JcoolV And that is frustrating, but if you read between the lines with all the interviews, like the countless times Damon Lindelof said "You can't explain the force" and how Abrams always talks about the power of mystery.. AND that they threw this pilot together so quickly, they ended up crafting a mystery without an answer.. which is why people were so into the mystery. "What could it be? MAN! I have to know!" and they didn't know.. they had to come up with something. And couldnt.

I think all the questions that could reasonably be expected to be answered WERE answered, it's just that it wasn't the answer people wanted. Like who was with Jack's ex-wife? That answer was "it wasn't anyone known, wasn't important." Not a fulfilling answer, but an answer. Then "Why were the numbers so important?" the answer there is "They couldn't think of a good enough reason before the reveal." Which sadly is the same answer for a lot of it. They deny that, but I think that is obvious.

@heyitsbreeify Yes, but in the video it was made clear this was just after the show ended.. The questions weren't answered until after, with the epilogue.

[sfluttershy]

The people who were shooting at them during the time skips is answered in the complete series box set. (In a journal entry from one of them.)

Who's dropping the Dharma supplies dropping is answered in the epilogue. Watch it and stop whining. ಠ_ಠ

I'd say the other answers, but I've noticed other people already have.

Oh, and MiB's name is Barry. :D

[JcoolV]

They just dropped the numbers thing after it seeming so important at start...

[ArcisBlade]

I feel like the biggest unanswered question has to be the one that no one really asks... How the hell did detonating a hydrogen bomb blow the castaways forward in time, back to 2007? Everything else can be pieced together if you paid close enough attention to the show, but this one... just doesn't make sense.... Maybe that's just me?

[hello3628]

There is an epilogue called " the new man in charge" in which it is revealed that there are dharma workers off the island that were never told about the massacre. They are the ones who drop the food.

[heyitsbreeify]

Whoever made his video is an idiot. Every single one of these questions WAS answered!
