LOST: The Final Season (Spoilers)

[Quantum]

I think that kid is Aaron who will replace Jacob. I think this was hinted at early on because of the insistence of Claire keeping him with her. I think that somehow he managed to make it to the island and because of his age did some time hopping himself. After all, he looks like he's roughly fifteen and he was born in the first season which makes him about five in linear time.

But I wonder if anybody noticed this, but in the alternate story line when Claire was giving birth to Aaron, I believe the doctor was the one who said his name before anybody else.

And if you noticed, the smoke-Locke somehow managed to take on Locke's mannerisms to the tee. After all, he got really angry when he was told what he couldn't do and yelled "Don't you tell me what I can and can not do" So there is a lot more to that smoke-Locke that needs to be revealed.

But by my way of thinking I am beginning to think that the island is a prison of some sort. I think that the smoke being did some sort of crime and is possibly incapable of understanding what he did so is imprisoned here. However, this remains to be seen.

I understand things are going to start dividing up into a "good guys" team and a "bad guys" team. Sawyer is obviously the first recruit to what (I assume) will be the bad guy team. It might be interesting to speculate on what the team line ups will end up being.

So far, bad guys have Flocke and Sawyer.

Good guys? Hm. Jack in all likelihood. Hurley, definitely.

Kate and Sayid are on the bubble, I'd say. Who else goes where? I'll bet after all is said and done, Ben winds up as a good guy.

 

[Shayuri]

Ben strikes me as a Gollum. A completely selfish guy who is used as a tool by the bad guy, but who betrays the bad guy in the end for the same motivations that he was originally used for...selfishness. A tool, in other words, that turns in its master's hand.

But then again, his eulogy for Locke seemed repentant. We'll see.

 

[Remus Lupin]

It's interesting to think about the other relationship Ben and Locke might have had, in that other reality. I wonder if Island Ben will discover that he was good friends with alternate reality Locke at some point.

Did anybody catch the mistake in "The Substitute?"



Hurley parked so close to Locke's van that he couldn't have gotten out in the first place.

I assumed Hurley arrived after Locke.

okay, for the big question: Just what the heck are Jacob and Smokey? Aliens? Gods? Alien gods? Psychic masters of time, space, and dimension?

I think that kid is Aaron who will replace Jacob.

I like this theory. (Note that Aaron as a baby has always had distinctly blond hair and blue eyes just like that kid did)

But I wonder if anybody noticed this, but in the alternate story line when Claire was giving birth to Aaron, I believe the doctor was the one who said his name before anybody else.

Well, Claire said it first. When there was a problem with the vital signs, she screams out "What's wrong with Aaron?!" (or something like that). It isn't mentioned again until the birth itself when the Doctor (who was "Ethan" from the Others in Season 1) says the name, and then later Claire and Kate talk about how it's a nice name and how it just came to her.

But by my way of thinking I am beginning to think that the island is a prison of some sort. I think that the smoke being did some sort of crime and is possibly incapable of understanding what he did so is imprisoned here. However, this remains to be seen.

That is my theory as well. He's there, the island is a prison. Jacob is there as a guardian to keep him there under control. How the time travel, healing waters that generated the need for a temple, and electromaginetic fields play in to the island itself, I don't know.

okay, for the big question: Just what the heck are Jacob and Smokey? Aliens? Gods? Alien gods? Psychic masters of time, space, and dimension?

Well Smoke-Locke alludes to the fact that he was once a man like Sawyer. And the fact that Jacob is recruiting for a replacement from people who are regular humans, suggests that Jacob was once a regular man too (how else could another human replace him?).

Thus, both Smoke and Jacob are most likely human in origin. And it was the island that somehow made them something more...

Is it was just a smoke monster of natural instinct and chaos, it would not care about "the rules" yet it was distinctly annoyed when he was reminded that "you know the rules, you can't kill him..." if he was just a natural beast he probably wouldn't be worried about rules.

A funny coincidence?

the Man In Black was also the nickname of a famous country singer.

His name was Johnny Cash.

One of his hit songs was called....

Ring Of Fire.

Hmmmmm....

Maybe the whole series is a disguised dedication to this man?

I liked the Pharos.

I liked the fact that the machinery degrees matched the numbers and the names of the characters. I liked the fact that the reflecting mirror (the looking glass) truly "reflected."

I liked the story with Jack and his son.
This was a basically quiet but very good episode.
