How long ago was that, though?

Was it before Ben shot Locke? I was thinking that maybe Jacob took over Locke's body then.

It took me a very long while to understand what exactly you were saying here. If this were true though...how could "Mr. Black"/Smoke Monster inhabit him (Locke's body) now?

Btw, I say go ahead and post about the most recent episode in here. I avoided this thread until today cause I hadn't seen the premiere yet.

I have no idea, but seriously, it's a smoke monster! Don't you think he could do whatever he wanted? Haha I have no clue.

Okay this whole Sayid thing. Two theories:

1) Jacob was implying that Sayid can't die because somehow Jacob's Nemesis would change into his body. And then everyone would be super confused.
2) Lennon lied about what was on the note. Sayid HAD to die so that Jacob could go into his body.

At this point, nothing would surprise me. And so far, I prefer them to crash instead of this new alternate world. Things are so yucky when they land (Sun, I'm looking at you).

Black Rock didn't occur to me. You've got my wheels turnin' ...

This is what I think!

Remember, though, that Lennon didn't know that Jacob was dead; none of the temple dwellers did. When Hurley and the rest of them first arrived, Hurley simply said that Jacob had sent them there. It wasn't until after Sayid died that Lennon and the leader guy pulled Hurley aside to talk to him, and he nonchalantly said that Jacob was dead. They looked scared, and then everyone started freaking out and barricading everything. Lennon said they were trying to keep "Him" out, although I'm not sure if they were referring to Jacob or to the smoke monster... or... something/someone else.

I'm still waiting for there to be some significance to the airline losing the coffin. I know that on the second flight to get back to the island, Jack put Locke's body in the coffin to "take the place of" his dad, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm also wondering if that's somehow significant to there essentially being three John Lockes (the one on the plane, the one dead on the beach, and the smoke monster)...

And I'm still wondering what Locke/smoke monster meant when he said, "I want to go home."

In my opinion, he's a manifestation of the fallen angel Lucifer.

Me too. I also immediately thought of Schrodinger's cat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodingers_cat) with the two simultaneous plot outcomes.

Oh yeah. Hmmm

It's sort of a semantics thing, but Smokey isn't inhabiting Locke's body. Locke's dead body is on the beach by the foot. Smokey has "shape shifted"/taken the form of Locke, which he seems to be able to do to any dead body not buried.

Glad to be getting some answers!

Interesting things from last night's episode:

Edited since original posting: The discrepancy in Claire's ultrasound date (10/22/2004) and the date of flight 815's crash (9/22/2004) was a prop error, so no new or solved mysteries in that regard.
Remember the psychic who told Claire that she had to be on Flight 815 (and that Aaron shouldn't be raised by another)? His name was Malkin. The lady who was supposed to adopt Aaron (but failed to show up or notify Claire because her husband left her) - her name was Lindsey Baskum. Lindsey Baskum is an anagram for 'Used by Malkin.'
Edited since original posting: Sawyer throws Juliette's engagement ring off the dock similarly to how Desmond threw Penny's ring into the River Thames. (My original post was based on a lostpedia entry that indicated that Sawyer's ring and Desmond's ring were one in the same. After looking at screencaps, I'm pretty the rings are different. Nonetheless, it's still interesting that both men tossed the rings into water.)

ETA: I loved Miles' response to Jack's request to be left alone with Sayid: "We'll be in the food court."

Even though LOST is definitely predominantly drama/sci-fi, I'm glad the writers continue to throw in a humorous line or two during each episode.

I just watched the last two episode, and it kills me not having my friends here with me to go, "WTF?" I'm so glad people on GC watch Lost!

I don't even know where to start. Claire is alive?? Didn't she wander off into the woods or get kidnapped or something? I'm mad that they only showed her for a second on the island but haven't gone back to her yet.

Why isn't Kate's name on the list of people in the cave? I know Locke didn't point out "Austen" on the ceiling, and I didn't see it.

Weren't there a lot of names on the ceiling, though? Locke simply mentioned the 6 which corresponded with THE numbers. (I now take notes during the episodes so I don't forget anything

):

4 = Locke
8 = Hurley
15 = Sawyer
16 = Sayid
23 = Jack
42 = Either Sun or Jin (Locke said he wasn't sure)

ETA: Did Kate ever meet Jacob before she came to the island? Because that might have something to do with it.

Although, both Sun and Jin met him at their wedding.

Oh, I don't know. I'm still confused!!! LOL
