So, after last night's episode, I'm wondering whether all these (so-called) dead people (Christian, Alex, Locke) are just manifestations of smokey. I do find it interesting that last night's epi was titled "Dead is Dead", but that doesn't appear to be the case. Makes me wonder if "Whatever Happened Happened" is equally misleading.
I'm loving this show!!
Oh, and I totally agree with SWTXBelle and twinkle555 - Des kicks ass, and the marina scene made my tummy hurt!

I disagree about the manifestations to a degree....sure some are projected by the island...I think Christian is a project for Jacob...or maybe he really is Jacob.....
I don't think Locke is a manifestation, I think he is really alive, because the look in Ben's eyes was amazement...
I actually think that now that the island has brought Locke back that he won't age....I think that is what happened to Richard...
I have some thoughts about the smoke monster.....Last night's verified my theory about an Egyptian presence (I thought this when we saw the back of the statue)...Which means the island is thousands of years old....

The picture on the wall that Ben looked at before the smoke monster came out of the holes was one of the Egyptian god Anubis. Anubis was one of the guardians of the underworld. It was Anubis that holds the scale that weighs a man's heart after death, thus judging him. While the Book of Death (The main Primary Source we have of Ancient Egyptian burial practices), makes no reference of a "smoke monster", I thought it was an interesting mix of ancient belief with Ben's need for a judgment.

I was very intrigued by the new Hispanic girl (I don't remember her name)'s question to the pilot regarding the statue....It made me think that we have a new group of Others....
