So we have to wait another week for the season finale of LOST, and I've been thinking...are they dead? At one point I knew there was a time travel, sort of wormhole thing going on but when Hurley told Jack he stopped taking his medication because they were all dead and it didn't matter it got me thinking...are they? Could they have all died in the plane crash because Jack's dad was on the plane, but it was his body and now other people than Jack can see and talk to him. Rose was dying and now she is fine, Locke couldn't walk and now he can, no one can kill Michael though they did kill a number of other people, but was it the island that did that and are the people who are "alive" on the island living in some sort of heaven. There are so many religious references and comparisons, I am leaning towards them being dead.
