What's the most compelling fate/destiny element in LOST...? The entire show is premised on a plane crash, in which certain people survived...right? Surviving a crash is to a certain extent 'luck'...where you are seated, how the plane impacts etc.

How do you pre-determine your own fate in a crash...you cant! Even if you choose your own seat you cant be certain the plane wont explode, or hit a mountain...whatever. This is the central theme of this show.

Locke says they're here to fulfil some purpose...Jack says nonsense.
Juliet says there's no free will...Benry says it's God's will that Jack fell from the sky.

If he's right, God does airline seat selection. Juliet is sure he's wrong...maybe sure enough that to PROVE him wrong, she'll get Jack to kill him, (that's why HE must do it, not her) in other words to tell God and his 'will' to go shove it! Her mantra is: Free will shall prevail!
