The latest episodes of Lost have strongly hinted that the survivors are, in fact, dead; and in some sort of afterlife. This is a red herring. They are very much alive and present on our Earth, in the present day.
The strongest evidence that they’re dead are the helicopter pilot’s claims that the plane was in fact found four miles down in the ocean, with the bodies on-board. However, there’s a very simple explanation for that, albeit one that is used frequently in real life and almost never in fiction:
Someone is lying.
It is possible that the helicopter pilot is lying, but I don’t think so. However keep in mind that she herself did not see the bodies or the plane. Since it was four miles down, almost nobody did. Here’s what I think happened.
The others’ mainland coconspirators (whoever they are) got the job of searching for the plane. Alternately one of their ships just “happened” to find the plane. Of course, the plane wasn’t really there. They faked the underwater video necessary to convince the rest of the world that the plane had gone down somewhere it hadn’t. The goal of this deception was simply to make sure that the rest of the world stopped looking for Oceanic 815, and the island would remain undiscovered.
What else is going on with the island, I have no idea; and it is a little disturbing the extent to which so many of the mysteries seem to need magical answers to resolve them. However, this particular tidbit is fully explainable without positing any sort of supernatural event. I hope the rest of the show can be equally logically explained. I’d really hate to get to season 6 and realize it’s all just Hurley’s dream.
