LOST: The Final Season (Spoilers)

[Mark]

Well Jack took the black and white stones so it's confirmed he's going to replace Jacob.

Do you have confirmation that is a certainty? I figured it was a ruse to throw people off the final scent.

 

[Diamond Cross]

I believe it to be a certainty because they're been throwing out the black and white theme throughout the entire series, with Jacob being white and his brother being black. Throughout history, white has stood for good and black has stood for evil.

And it was a symbolic act, when Jack took those two stones, it was a confirmation.

As for who's going to be the next smokey (not necessarily a monster) I wonder if it will be Hurley. The reason why I think this is because Jacob's brother could see the dead and Hurley can see the dead.

In certain cultures, anyways. It's not universal, AFAIK.

Also, last night, it was Jacob-the-white that murdered his brother, and sent him into the cave where no one should ever go. Jacob turned his brother into the smoke monster. Jacob's nameless brother killed his adoptive mother, but only after he thought she had murdered his friends (and possibly family) of 30 years, and after he had learned that mom was apparently insane in the membrane (what with murdering their real mother, and then lying her ass off about the nature of the world).

So, who was really the good guy? The color-coding is convenient, but is it accurate?

Me, I don't think either of them really qualifies as pure, unvarnished good, after last night. Both of 'em were wrong to kill who they did. Maybe that's really why they're both stuck on the island.

Now, from what we know, Jacob has been less evil subsequently, while Brother Smokey has murdered his way through the centuries.

Here is going to be the final scene of Lost:

SCENE: Jack and Locke sitting on the beach, staring out at the sea.

Locke: Do you know how much I want to kill you?

Jack: Yes, I do.

 

[stonegod]

Its going to end with an eye closing. Bookends and all that.

 

[Diamond Cross]

We do know the island will sink.

And that will probably lead to the flash sideways timeline.

Picard's eye?

 

[Viking Bastard]

We do know the island will sink.

And that will probably lead to the flash sideways timeline.

We just know that the island sank in the flash sideway timeline. Presumably because they blew it up with.

 

[David Howery]

a pretty good episode overall... except...
what the heck is that mystical light stuff?

 

[Banshee16]

Just remember, in the premier episode of this season they showed the island on the bottom of the ocean.

I don't think that means anything to the Losties. In the Flash-Sideways universe, the nuke *was* detonated in the past....the island ended up on the bottom of the ocean, and their lives were changed.

In the "normal" timeline they stayed in, the nuke didn't go off, so the island didn't sink. But that doesn't mean that it *will* sink now.
