Ending 1: Turning the wheel the other way
At the end of many generations of conflict between opposing forces that are vying for control of the island and through it of history, two individuals (one male, one female, and one from each opposing side, just for dramatic effect) decide that it has to end, that the island has to be taken out of the grasp of both.
The only way to do that is to turn the wheel the other way, to move the island back in time before the rise of human civilization. To accomplish that, however, it will take two people’s efforts to be able to turn the wheel far enough. These two individuals (let’s call them Adam and Eve) collaborate in turning the wheel and moving the island back in time. Each is transported to another part of the world and another time. Eventually, they find one another, and they tell their children stories about a mythical place where dreams came true and from which, because of selfish grasping for God-like power, humans were exiled.
One way or another, one day in the future, their descendants who find their way back to the island take the corpses of Adam and Eve and lay them to rest there.
Ending 2: Turning the wheel backwards a little less
This ending is almost like the other one, except that Adam and Eve don’t turn the wheel quite as far. They are transported back to the 1970s, and through a space-time mishap, Eve is turned into a male midget. They find the island again and open a resort where one’s dreams can come true.
Ending 3: Scooby Doo Ending
The Oceanic Six return to the island, track down Richard Alpert, and pull off his mask. It turns out he is really Charles Widmore. “I would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for you meddling survivors and your mangy dog.” The last shot is of Vincent howling happily.
