Which is what I keep thinking...

If you look at Locke/smoke monster, he hasn't killed any of the main characters. And his goal at the moment is to get people off the island.

And Richard was the only one spared on the Black Rock. The entire crew was killed, but Richard was left alone and freed by the MIB.

And let's face it... Jacob was the one who brought everyone to the island in the first place.

So... I'm not entirely convinced that Jacob is the good guy in this entire scenario...

I feel like from this weeks episode it's very clear that his goal is to get himself off the island, what happens with the rest of the folks, I'm not sure he cares. Ex. how he basically told Claire she can do whatever with Kate once he is off the island.

But Kate's name wasn't in the cave, so she isn't a candidate. Locke seems to care about the candidates, too, as well as his creepy evil friends (fake Claire and fake Sayid).

I'm just too confused by this whole thing....this is all smoke and mirrors. Is it purgatory? is it hell? but they wouldn't be that obvious would they? OR would they be that obvious and throw other things at us just to confuse.....

No more speculation from me.

But I do have to say the best scene of the night for me was Hurley telling Jack to back off!....LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!

LOL @ smoke & mirrors (smoke monster + Jacob's lighthouse mirrors = LOST mystery #6479).

I don't think the island is purgatory or hell. I don't know what I think it is (although I really liked Jacob's cork analogy), but I'll be disappointed if it's really purgatory or hell.

I wish they'd tell us MIB's name already. I'm hoping that'll be our clue to what the island is.

Pretty interesting article. Basically, it states that ABC is asking for advertisers to fork over upwards of $900,000.00 for a 30 second spot during the finale!

Agreed.

I would also be a little disappointed if the island was purgatory or hell. Not that I don't appreciate a good religious analogy in literature, but... I want it to be more creative? I think I'm gearing myself up for a more sci fi situation than literary.

Spoiler-ish: there was a recap on E!online where they stated ABC released that the island was a 4-letter word with no "a" or "e".... CORK makes sense, but seems too obvious. I hate it when the answers are obvious/easily guessable.

^^To the "hidden" message...

Maybe it's called "Lost"

[QUOTE=annabella;1911734]Agreed.

@ hidden

I thought this was confirmed in the Richard epi as well as on the lost postcast.

Assuming this is still relevant, I have a new guess... FIVE

I just watched the pilot episode again. Jack had a 5 tattooed on his arm. I paid special attention to him because he is going to be Jacob's replacement (assuming nothing changes in the finale).

As Kate was stitching him up on the beach, she said that he doesn't seem scared at all. Jack then launched into a story about a surgery he did on a 16-year-old girl where he accidentally cut the base of her spine where all the nerves come together. He said he let the fear in and let it take over, but only for five seconds. And he started to count.. One, two, three, four, five, and then it was gone. He sewed her up and she was fine.

Later, Kate is running from the smoke monster, and doesn't realize that Jack went back to help Charlie who had fallen. She was alone and could still hear the smoke monster, and she, while crying, counted to five.

Just a guess ... as is everything with this show!

But FIVE has a 'e' in it..

Anyone else watching the recap special right now?

@ hidden: it said no "a" and one "e". I was thinking hell but that's kind of obvious.

Whoa now, what's this about a hidden message? Did I completely miss something?

Loved last night's episode. Have we seen the Russian translator before? He was really familiar but I may have just recognized him from somewhere else.

That was Mikhail (aka Patchy) - the guy who has died over and over and over again. I think the last time we saw him (at least, the last time I remember seeing him) was when he blew up the Looking Glass station (RIP, Charlie ) with the hand grenade.

annabella put a kinda sorta spoiler in her post, but used white font so people wouldn't have to read it if they didn't want to.

That's the "hidden message"
