You apparently haven't played Qix before. You don't need to know where smokey is. You just need to know where it is not, and then secure that spot. Yes it would be time consuming. But don't you think its time well-spent considering the thing can kill you?
How dare you, sir! I am a proud child of the '80s.I'm saying that the size of the island (not to mention its terrain) makes it totally impractical, even over a time frame of years and years. Especially when you consider that you can't just walk off the area, you'd have to carefully pour the sand/ashes to ensure that there were no gaps.
Plus he could just walk in the surf around ash on the beach.
Really?? Heh... When that underwater scene came up I seriously thought they were zooming in on one of THESE THINGS for a second.
Really?http://www.hulu.com/watch/125502/lost-la-x-part-1
403. D'oh!
They should just coat some hula hoops with ash and wear them all the time, suck it smokey.
ash belt ftw!
I think he might have been trapped in Jacob's Cabin for a time but somehow, someone/something broke the circle of ash and he got out.
Can he as the MIB or Locke though cross ash? When he transformed from Locke into Smokey, why did he disappear and come back through the door? Where does he go to transform? I dont think its simple as, we can play qix with ash or just encircle him etc.
If that's the case, he got out prior to or at the same time as when Oceanic 815 went down.
If he can turn between evil Locke and smokey within seconds, couldn't he just turn back into Locke and then walk over the ash? It would seem when he is in human form he doesn't have an issue with the ash.
Nah. Writers tend to adapt their show to account for the most popular characters and actors who win awards. There are two characters that fit this mold - John Locke and Benjamin Linus. I have to think that, whatever the final resolution of the series will be, they will center around those two. We know the writers specifically recruited Terry O'Quinn, so he will be a big part of the series resolution. Michael Emerson has been winning awards for this show, so they will write his character into the final resolution too, even if it wasn't originally intended.Everyone else is ancillary.The most obvious way to center the series finale on them is to play off the moment Linus murdered Locke. Maybe Locke eventually has to kill Linus or something.There's a lot of backstory behind Jack Shepard, but the reality is these two characters now overshadow Jack, so he will probably get moved into the background.
I think Jacob will become The Situation. Would be a great finale if they end up fist pumping in Seaside. Sawyer will get a blowout.
This is great...kind of how I'm feeling too. I am highly entertained though. I'm hoping this is the type of show that blows you away at the end and you have to rewatch the whole series again to fully get it. Sort of like how you had to watch Matrix a couple of times.
I LOL'ed
I think he chose to portray Locke to push Ben over the edge and kill Jacob. Who else could have done it?I think Jacob has taken over Sayid's body and only said, "What happened?" to blend in and not let everyone know.
I think if she's still alive everything is probably a little more alien to her.
I'm not sure it implies multiples but it does open up the possibility
I thought the loophole was that he could not kill Jacob but that someone else could and maybe that it had to be one of Jacob's followers.
MIB = Man in Black the guy that was talking to Jacob in the last episode of season 5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpNJyP23e_0
thanks.so weird. I don't remember that scene at all, but I don't think I've ever missed an episode.
You're welcome! It came on at the very begining of the episode so you could have just missed it.
The way I took it is that there still was turbulence on the flight both go arounds. The plane didn't crash because Desmond wasn't in the hatch missing the input of the numbers.
I think at some point this season, a piece of luggage full of knives and a coffin will turn up on the island.

In terms of acting, dialouge and pacing, the last two seasons have fallen off enormously. In a lot of cases embarrassingly. But the mysteries and questions were so tantalizing in the first four seasons that I think at this point everybody overlooks it--sooooo much is going on at once and we're all so desperate to figure this whole ####### thing out.But yeah, I think the writers bit off more than they could chew and have been forced to cut a ton of corners and really stretch plausability to account for the mysteries they created. I still enjoy it, and because the first four seasons were so good and the characters so well developed, I still care about them, even if they're all shells of their former selves.
Not a chance Jack gets moved into the background. None. I think the writers are full of BS a lot of the times they say they planned for how things are turning out, but one thing I know they planned on was having Jack be, if not the entire center of it all in the end, at least just as important as any other character. Supposedly the last scene has already been filmed, and Jack (as well as Walt, so I've heard) is in it. He might not be as popular as Locke or Ben have become, but he was the core of the show up until last season and largely responsible for how good it was.
I didn't think he looked Jewish.Seaman Ropes said:
I think it's fairly safe to assume that yes, they are entities that have been there for a long time, and that how we have seen them so far is not necessarily their real form.
Obviously, n00b
My best guess is that they're representatives of God/Satan. Angels, I guess. Hence Norwood's comment about wanting to go home.Of course, that would probably mean that free will = Satan, and predestination = God, non?
