Although obviously the writers of this show are going to throw everything for a loop in the finale, I wouldn't be surprised if we wound up with Locke getting killed somehow, only for everyone to discover that there must always be a Man In Black and Sawyer taking up the role somehow. Series ends with Jack (as the protector) and Sawyer sitting on the beach watching everyone else fly away, knowing that they'll be playing out everything that's happened to them in the future when another group of crash survivors finds themselves on the island.
That, at least, is my prediction. Will it wind up happening? Who the hell knows at this point. I guess we'll all find out on Sunday!
