answerable questions

*Warning, embedded video is and does get annoying.*
But it goes with my point of the post. It seems like an obvious fact that the writers of Lost will not answer all the questions they’ve left hanging over the first 5 seasons. The writers have done interviews saying that not all questions will be answered. Some are little questions that don’t seem to bother me..such as what was said over the forced dinner Ben has with Kate in season 3. Others will probably be larger questions that are just plain unanswerable. And those are the questions that are better left unanswered in order to leave a series such as this one on a positive note. It won’t please everyone, especially the people out there spoiled by Hollywood and their happy ending movies. But an up in the air finish is sort of what I’m expecting…with a few of the many loose ends tied up.
So what questions am I expecting to be answered? This is all speculative, I haven’t done much searching for spoilers, and I don’t want to. This are just my random thoughts.

1)Did Jack’s plan work and detonating Jughead stop Oceanic 815 from crashing? I’ve heard rumor this is true and that season 6 will follow the lives of the characters sans the crash in an alter reality. I believe the writers are brave enough to try something like this but I’m not thinking they’ll do it during a the final season on a show where there are already so many questions needing answers. If this was done IMO it should have been instead of the time travel. Which really could have been another interesting approach to the show altogether. Anyway this question will be addressed and I would imagine it would be in the first few episodes.
2) I think we’ll get some explanation as to who Jacob is as well as the guy who wants to or wanted to kill Jacob. It may not be totally spelled out but we’ll get something. We’ll also get some sort of Jack and Locke resolution to the whole Reason vs Faith battle they are fighting. I’m speculating that the who is Jacob answer will some how answer how/why Christian is alive or haunting the island. And this may lead to answers about Claire.
3) The Claire/Arron story will be be resolved. I don’t think they could just leave that hanging, espeically since Kate’s reason for returning was to find Claire, and she’s back this season.
4) The Sawyer/Jack/Kate annoying love threesome will be resolved. I’m kinda rooting for they all go in separate directions from each other.
5) Who are Adam and Eve? The bodies found in season 1. It would work too perfectly w/ the time travel for it not to be answered. But I can see it waiting until the finale.
6)The numbers. I’m back and forth on this. They were such an important part of the series at the beginning, and still are although they aren’t referred to as much any more. I can see them trying to attempt an explanation. But I can also see it going the other way and letting them be just one of those mysteries.
