I agree with a lot of that. I'm thinking that it very well may be Des/Penny in the cave. It'd suck for them, but maybe the sacrifice is they wind up jumping back to 1905 or something to live out there lives. I guess it could be Rose/Bernard, but the bones looked on the pretty old side (old as in been there a long time).
The Dharma Initiative doesn't need much explanation. We all seemed to think it tied to Magnus Hanso, captain of the black rock, distant relative of Alvar Hanso who ran the dharma corporation. Looks like ole magnus was whacked by smokie in the 1800's so i'm not sure how they made a connection there. I figure someone brought to the island figured out how to get out - when they got out they told of the odd things that can go on there and the dharma people searched for, and found, the island and set up shop. Other than whack jobs like radzinsky they didn't seem to be too bad. There has to be some type of connection between Magnus and Alvar, but we'll likely never know what.
Charles and Eloise were the leaders of the others in the 70's, but i see the others as 'team jacob' so to speak. They may not have been candidates to take his job, but they were decidedly on his side. Perhaps they were people who were at one time candidates but didn't fit the bill but elected to stay on otherwise, i don't know. That's something i'd like them to explain, who are the others and why are they there. We know how Richard and Dogen got there and why they're there, but not the rest. Cindy (the stewardess) became an other it seems who made the bad choice of siding with smokie.
As for the six candidates, we don't know that one is Jin. I could be Sun. The only one who knows is jacob and he hasn't said yet. I like the idea, though, that eloise is a manifestation of the island, but if that's so, why was she a co-leader of the others in the 70's?
And as much as I agree with your ending - as do lots of other people/site/etc - i think it's too easy that we'd all guess the end this far out while we're still so much in the dark about so many things. Everytime people think they have something figured out, the writers seem to zag in another direction.
