Lost final season

[Gamerforlife]

Smoke, Jacob's mom, others, time traveling, the light in the island, how did the airplane fell, how does jacob get his power, and travel between the island and the real world,whats with the visions on the island, how come Lock can walk only in the island, how did Saeed come back to life, who was the japanese guy in the temple,

Some of those examples have already been answered(others, airplane falling), and some have been mostly answered(time traveling, travel to/from island, visions). 99% of the rest should be addressed, but I wouldn't count on anything further on "Mother".

I was going to say the same thing about some of that stuff being answered already, but was too lazy to type up a post. Actually, I think a lot of answers are there, it's just we've either missed them or forgot that they were already answered.

So basically, island is mystical place that houses some strange, life giving light that is not meant for human contact(hence MIB becoming Smokie). I think it is some kind of Eden, a source of all human life. The island also has strange electromagnetic properties probably related to the light. That explains a lot of weird stuff like people being healed and planes coming down.

We also know the island has some kind of sentience, which may have been represented by "mother" I think. Humans cannot covet the light, which is why the island had to be protected from them, which probably also explains why child birth is not possible on the island. The island doesn't want any more humans on the island. MIB is proof that humans need to be kept away from the light. He was sent into the light and it turned him into an evil monster, who now needs to be imprisoned on the island by Jacob or someone of his choosing. Hence all the candidates. We used to think all the candidates were special. Truth is, Jacob chose them because they were all flawed, much like himself

So now, Jack has become Jacob's replacement. You'd think that would mean Smokie is no longer a threat, but that's not the impression I got last night. He wants to destroy the island(his prison and the thing that ruined his life)and Jack may have to destroy him.

Apparently, Desmond is key in all this. He may either be the key to Smokie destroying the island or the key to Smokie's own destruction. And however they resolve all this alternate reality stuff will be related to him somehow. He seems aware of both realities and sideways reality desmond has apparently completely restored Hurley's memory of his alternate island life and is trying to do the same for everyone else in sideways reality

So that's the real question for me now. What is the point of sideways reality? What will its significance be in the finale? Jacob says he brought the candidates to the island not just because he needed a replacement, but because they needed the island as a way to fix their personal problems. However, we've seen that Jacob is wrong and the alternate reality seems to have been much better for everyone.

Do you know what that means? Jacob is the real villain of this show. He ruined his brother's life by turning him into Smokie and he has ruined the lives of the other characters by bringing them to the island. Many of the deaths on this show can be traced back to Jacob. I'd be trying to kill him AND Smokie. The world needs to be rid of both of them

I dont think that the Esau/Man in Black character is the smoke monster. I think the smoke monster is some form of evil, a demon or devil figure, that takes on the form and memories of the dead. It was released by Jacob sending Esau's body into the light, but it is not him.

Actually they never answered why the whispers happen when the Others use to show up.

The whisper thing is weird. It seemed like it had something to do with how the Others moved around, but then ghost Michael said to Hurley that it was the voices of the dead who couldn't leave the island. This island is something else. It can even prevent spirits from moving on. It has incredible power

As for Smokie, MIB has said on more than one occasion that he is the smoke monster, unless he is lying and just controls it somehow. He definitely can take on the form of the dead. He confirmed that to Jack in one episode and he is obviously doing it by looking like Locke all the time. I wonder why he doesn't ever just take on his original form, since his original body is dead too

It's going to be interesting going back over all the seaons when this show is over just to see everything Smokie has done and how it relates to what we learn about him in the final season. He's manipulated a LOT of people, even pretending to speak for Jacob at one time. He's killed certain people(quite brutally I might add) while allowing others to live(like Juliette). It leaves a lot of questions about his motivations for all the things he's done

because then Terry O'Quinn wouldn't have a role on the show.

LOL

That would suck wouldn't it?

As soon as Terrys out, so am I. He is the reason I continued watching the show past the first few episodes.

I can accept the fact that they aren't going to answer EVERYTHING, but they obviously will be answering the crucial stuff. However, it does still seem like they have a LOT of ground to cover in the two hours left to wrap things up.

On a side note, you know they could make a killing selling a DVD set of footage that would answer just about every question out there. In interviews, the producers said they would like to answer more, but they essentially didn't want to have to make a bunch of scenes that weren't especially relevant to the store just to answer them. A special DVD set or something would give them an excuse to take care of that without effecting the main story and make some extra cash

[crux]

My bigger issue is that they tend to raise ten questions for every one they answer.

It's actually exciting to think what they could do with a blueray disc and all that storage space.

I want to remind everyone, there is going to be a talk show on after the finale with three alternate endings for the finale being shown. That should be interesting

if somebody asked me to summarize the show i would tell them this.
