But wouldn't smokey still be in the non-sideways universe back in 1977, since he didn't go to the alternate universe until present day and not detonating the bomb would oh no I've gone crosseyed...

Hey! Hmm.... That's.... Ummm.... What? [/url] I believe the sacrifice that Widmore was talking about that Desmond would have to make is that he needs to let FLocke kill him so that Smokey can get off the island in Desmond's body. He ends up in the sideways timeline, trying to gather...

I forgot my favorite line of the night: Miles: "What's that? A secreter room?"

Yeah, I didn't mean it literally, just that we have been led to believe that the stuff on the island is the "main" story, and the off island stuff is some "alternate" story. Heck even the term "sideways" reality which everyone has accepted and used infers that. And then they pull the old...

I just had a thought, after Locke said he wanted to destroy the island. What if all this season, the 'sideways' reality is really the 'real' reality? And the Island stuff is the alternate reality? What if blowing up the bomb did exactly what Jack wanted it to do? It changed history...

One more major question that got answered that I don't see being brought up here, is that we now know how MiB plans to leave the island. If he can't use the donkey wheel to leave the island while any of the candidates are still alive, then that explains why he wouldn't help Locke to the...

Very interesting episode. I'm particularly interested in whether or not the light transformed the brother into the smoke monster, or if the light was "containing" the smoke monster, and the brother's body passing through it killed him and released the smoke monster. If the latter is true...

Don't forget the "Hurley" bird!!! I never could hear that bird say "Hurley". No matter how many times I listen to it, it just sounds like "Sqquuaaaakkkk!" to me.

This theory doesn't work, because sideways Desmond in the current Island time wouldn't be cool and collected, he'd be totally freaked out about what is going on. Also after the magnet incident, Desmond said to Widomre "You said you had something important to do. When do we start?" If this was...

Understood, and completely agree with you that Widmore's agenda could be separate from the Light vs. Dark theme. However, Widmore has been established as a *MAJOR* character to the show, and whatever he is up to is clearly central to the plot of the show, and not some little side plot. In fact...

I don't think it is as simple as two players, two sides. There's clearly at least three sides; consider Widmore. Clearly Widmore is not on Jacob's side, since when Miles accepted Widmore's offer to go to the island he was kidnapped by Jacob's bodyguards and told he was playing for the wrong...

There are some definite inconsistencies between Smokey as Locke and Christian. Unlock seems more and more incompetent every episode now. People plot openly against him while he is standing 10 feet away and he has no idea. He sends people out to do his jobs and they don't do as he plans, and...

LOL, when I saw Sun and Jin running towards each other, I imagined it playing out like this: Sun: "Jin!" Jun: "Sun!" Sonic Fence: "Brrrrrrzzzappp!!" ...the end.

That's a good theory, and just to clear up any confusion, the kid, while slightly different in appearance, has been played by the same actor in both episodes.

OK, reading back your guys comments I can see where some confusion came in, and I am satisfied at some resolution. First off, I just was reacting badly to JD's seemingly rude response to my initial question. Next, I can see I worded it badly by saying what can the spirits do in the "real...

You're inventing a lot of silly questions to support your conclusion. All your ridiculous questions were never asked by me, nor would they ever have been. I'm not sure where you are getting them from. I said I was worried that I might not have all of my questions answered. That is a great...

Dude what's your problem? I'm not complaining, these are genuine questions that I'm curious about. I'm sure there are plenty other people who are wondering the same thing. I think these are tangible questions, and nowhere near ridiculous questions like "What's Jacobs favorite color?" If I...

I'm not implying that I don't like your response, pitchman, just that the "definitive" answer to what the whispers are only really raises more questions. Why can everyone hear them? Why should we be afraid of them? What is the criteria for your soul being able to "move on" versus being...

I gotta say I'm not really satisfied with the answer to the whispers. If they are just the trapped souls, why can everyone hear them and not just people like Hurley? Why should people be afraid of them? What can they do in the real world? When Ben took Alex from Danielle he told her...

I think with regard to the cabin, that the ash circle was in place to keep smokey OUT. It wouldn't make sense for it to keep him in, as we know that he's been roaming the island since episode 1. When Locke visits the cabin for the first time, we see the ash circle intact (granted, we don't see...

It surprised me. I was expecting it when she first mentioned the dynamite, but by the time it happened, I had forgotten about that, and it caught me off guard.

Richard or Jack should have been handling the dynamite, as it's already been established that they wouldn't blow up. At the very least, make sure Hurley is not nearby if you are handling it.

OK. Well, then your analysis about the cork makes perfect sense.

I've been thinking about the alternate reality and trying to figure out what it is that triggers their memory of the real reality. So far the trigger has been love, i.e. Charlie -> Claire, Desmond -> Penny, Faraday -> Charlotte, Hurley -> Libby. However, this wouldn't seem to apply to Locke...

I could be totally wrong but I thought Richard was referring to a very recent conversation he had with Jacob. My recollection was that Richard said something like "Jacob told me *a few days ago* what the island was." Now the part in between the asterisks I don't know the exact dialog, but...

Ehhh, I wouldn't be so sure about that. I think that Richard was lying about that. He knew Hurley was lying and was just trying to catch him in that lie. A few days ago Richard was all depressed and wanted to kill himself because Jacob never told or explained anything to him. Now all of a...

Yeah, I think Isabella at the end is real as well. So far on the show we haven't seen any indication yet that Jacob can assume the form of anyone else.

I'm not sure why people think Isabella was Jacob. It seemed perfectly clear to me that everything that happened in the ship was all Mib. The smoke comes in and "Scans" Richard, gets his memories, then assumes Isabella's form from those memories. "Isabella" then convinces Richard that they are...

I was wondering why at the end of the episode, Jacob seems genuinely surprised that MiB tried to kill him, when we saw directly in the S5 finale MiB ask him if he knew how much he wanted to kill him. Given that the statue was still standing in the S5 finale, Jacob obviously knew that MiB wanted...

It is important to remember that Jacob and MiB represent black and white. It is even MORE important that Jacob is black on the left side and white on the right side, while Mib is black on the right side, and white on the left side.
