Rumours have been spread that the people who survived the plane crash are all actually in purgatory. Think about it, everyone has somethin they either want to prove, or need to redeem themselves.

Kate wants to make up for her past.

That teacher who was helpin bout the dynamite died after he had given them useful information, he might've ascended into heaven after that? ? (his purpose was served)

Just seems to fit in

personally,
purgatory seems too obvious.

During last season a number of devotees discussed that maybe they're all in Purgatory. There was also a consensus that if the explanation is something like that, a lot of fans are going to be displeased. (Older folks here may remember 20 years ago when the series Dallas used the "it was all a dream" on the part of one character to explain away a lot of seemingly unresolvable issues.) Even if the writers may have been holding that as one option for an explanation, I think by now they will have realized that won't fly with a lot of fans.

Well i'll be friggin disapointed if it turned out to be like this..

there was an interview with the director and producer and they said that the characters on Lost are not in Purgatory!

Thank god.. i would have thrown rocks at the writers if they where!

There is not one thing about this show that would make me think they could be in Pergatory. Just my thought. Not trying to flame

Oh man the Purgatory theory would tick me off if it was true. I personally think Purgatory is something worse than being stuck on an island with other people.
