All this said, I do find myself wondering if the current conflict on The Island can and will be resolved by a paradigm shift in thinking about The Source. The Island needs The Source — but does The Source really need The Island? We’ve been told that a little bit of the light exists in everyone. Well, why not take a cue from Hurley’s Parable of the Hatch Pantry and just divide the rest of The Source equally among all people? Why not make humanity itself the exclusive dwelling place of The Source? It’s time to decentralize! It’s time for Mystic Reformation! That’s my theory of Desmond. I think super-Buddha is going to get dropped into the Holy Wormhole and will absorb all the energy into himself and then redistribute it throughout all of mankind. The Source needs a guardian. But what it needs even more is for all of us to guard it.
Doc Jensen describes a version of the LOST finale that sounds even more like Buffy Season 7 than anything I’ve even previously considered. The parallels have been there all season, and I wouldn’t begrudge LOST if that’s where it ends up, but I’m hoping for something a little more… LOST-ian. Meaning I want the series to end and (yet again) force me to scream out, “What the ?!?”

Ah yes, the Horcrux theory. Only this time it’s preventing He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Because-He-Has-No-Name from ruining the world, not helping him.
