I just watched last week's episode of Lost and I think I can now explain everything that has ever happened on the show.

I mean, using TV-pseudoscience speak, but still. I can explain it narratively.

So all the personal connections (Locke working at Hurley's box company, Locke and Sawyer hating the same con artist, Claire and Jack being brother and sister, and so on ad infinitum) are just coincidences?

Sort of. I'm thinking of it as they have some of the magnetic force so they were slowly being drawn closer and closer and closer together. So the connections in their lives before the crash were about their threads getting closer, leading them towards the plane crash.

I feel like this idea combines quasi-science/logic/law and quasi-supernatural/spirituality in a way that is popular in television, whether its Medium or Touched by an Angel or Quantum Leap.
