Whether you liked the season finale or not, LOST will forever be the defining mystery series on TV that revolutionized the way these mystery dramas play out. But since Season 3 introduced the possibility of an impending armageddon – even if it was just a cultist theory at that point–that would be our best guess as to why Flight 828 disappeared: to give the passengers premonitory powers that they can use to save the world. Manifest is a show that’s captivated me, frustrated me and at times seriously tested my patience across its 16 episode run-time. According to one version of the Bible story, Noah actually helped cause the great flood out of disgust at humanity. The show didn't have time to explain why everyone is getting premonitions or why Cal aged up. As it progresses, the Christian theme is less than subtle. But it most likely has to do with the cultist theory that Ben is a modern-day Noah. Theres a reason many reviewers found it dull and more plodding than enigmatic.


If there is a divine plan, that's the most likely reason why the plane crashed.Īs for why the Earth needs almost 200 prophets, that's less clear. It centers on the passengers and crew of a commercial airliner who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for five and a half years. One thing that's clear is the result of Flight 828's disappearance. So far, the biggest effect of the return of Flight 828 is that it gave nearly 200 people premonitions. Manifest is an American supernatural drama television series created by Jeff Rake that premiered on September 24, 2018, on NBC. So, what's the plan?Īssuming there actually is a divine plan, there are lots of questions surrounding it. That would imply that the plane is meant to be on the bottom of the ocean, which then implies that there's some sort of divine plan in all this. The most obvious explanation is that Ben's meddling with the airplane wreckage caused Cal to age up somehow.
