This is just a guess at what the producers may have been aiming for.

We’ll find out tonight…

I think the parallel universes will be resolved by either joining or by one ceasing to exist. My guess is that somehow the “smoke monster” will be contained on the island by it being submerged as shown at the beginning of the season. He will be trapped by the magnetism of the island but “forever” unable to get to its source.

I read an excellent theory on Lost stating that much of the activity on Lost’s island is spawned from individuals trying to avert fate. This struggle succeeds only in creating anomalies that complicate their efforts.

With newly fractured parallel realities derived from atomic energy of a fission explosion combined with the freakishly strong magnetism of the island and lots of imagination and creativity, there should be plenty of room for Lost theories. I’m of a mind to start hunting for spoilers on the final episode.

Using the old standby of parallel universes, Lost writers give themselves twice the opportunity to solve the problems of Lost. Lost writers can satisfy twice the viewers. The Lost writers can give twice as many Lost theorists the opportunity to claim, “I was right!”
