another idea, maybe in the alt. timeline, the Island is sunk, not directly because of the bomb, but because something happened that enabled MiB to "win".

Guys, I'm kinda curious about an aspect of Lost that you've been discussing here. I don't follow it as closely as you guys do, I decided to just enjoy it and watch it weekly without dissecting it too much. I'll just keep on with my simplistic interpretations.

But one aspect about this series has kind of been in the back of my mind since the first we saw Jack open his eyes on the island. There's that sci-fi/fantasy element going on here. Yet the show doesn't always cross that line in such a definite way. Well, now it seems to be with Locke/MIB transformation. 

I know from interviews that JJ Abrams is a huge Twilight Zone fan. 

I can't help but wonder if on the last day of the series, we'll see these passengers wake up in an Air Force training mission and realize they've all been in a dream or this has been some kind of mindgame they've been experiencing to test them. That is of course a Twilight Zone plot and twist ending.

Or what if they were... in some kind of PURGATORY?!

Was assuming this was MiB/Smoke Monster trying to get Hurley to kill himself given what we know from Season 6. Was also trying to think who has seen visions of dead people (not animals) or imaginary people - is it limited to the 6 names on the list on the wall (Kwons, Sawyer, Hurley, Jack, Locke) and therefore MiB is simply trying to get each of these characters to die whilst playing by the rules ?? Similar attempt made on Jack when he had visions of his father and nearly fell of a cliff in Season 1. Does this mean he can kill the rest of the characters (pilot, Echo), just not the ones on the list because they are candidates? Instead he has to get others to do it for him.

Enjoying Season 2 again even more as they refer to things like "The Incident" and Rousseau telling Claire she hope she understands what she has to do if her baby is "infected."

I watched the enhanced version (with subtitles) of "The Incident" last night, they made it clear that there was something to Jacob touching the characters. I dismissed that speculation last year as being too... mechanical I guess (for lack of better word), but clearly I was wrong. They also suggest that Locke may have been revived by Jacob following his fall from the window. He certainly acted like it, but I didn't make much of it back then.

This is probably old news to most of you anyway.

 For what it's worth, Kate saw the horse (Sawyer saw the same one) and her name wasn't shown to us or Sawyer to be on the cave wall.  Of course, it has to be noted that just because it wasn't shown on the wall doesn't mean it isn't there--but it's definitely notable that her name was not seen.

Shannon also saw Walt three times, and Sayid saw him on the third ocassion.  Walt wasn't dead, though.

Not trying to debunk your theory or anything--simply pointing out a few instances where non-candidates had visions.

Re-watched last weeks ep last night and I'm of the opinion Kate's name isn't there. At first Swayer has the torch and finds Jack's name himself. Then Flocke methodically shows each name to Sawyer ending with "last but not least" when he shows Sawyer his own name. I just don't think they're trying to trick us here, Kate's name isn't there. Which of course would seem to be very important.
