I guess the monster could "strip" someone of their character, but it seems to me that they would have had to be alive to do this - unlike Locke/Christian.
I think the problem a lot of us are having is that we didn't expect to be theorizing on this stuff with so little time to go. They have a lot to answer in the time remaining - I fear a lot will go unanswered.
For instance, how do they cover the stuff with "Jacob's Cabin"? Who was living there? Who said "Help me!" when Locke was there? Who was sat in the rocking chair?
I figured stuff like that would be covered in "Across The Sea" - I thought as Jacob/His brother/Smokey had been there so long we would see a lot of the history explained. Now we have to hope they cover this in the time remaining.

Yeah totally agree. Its has just got to that point now, and it has only really become apparent after that episode.
Yeah see things like this make me lean more to the idea that they really didn't think about what they were doing at the time and how it would impact later on what they eventually decided would be the story.
Here is my breakdown of trying to answer that...
Ben never actually met Jacob, and as we know, his base/home was the chamber underneath the statue. However, Ilana knew to go to the cabin to look for Jacob. But upon finding it saw that the circle of ash had been broken, and that someone else had been using it....so through that we could assume that someone, at some point trapped the smoke monster inside the cabin....but then again, the smoke monster has been rampant throughout the Island since episode friggin 1!! - so none of that really makes sense at all
Ben was surprised when things in the cabin started going crazy - and we did hear the voice - so something was present there even if it was Ben trying to trick Locke. The guy in the chair was played by one of the crew members on the LOST production team, can't remember where I read that, but it was an interview and they showed the guy on set - either way, it was a totally different guy to that of the guy who plays Jacob and Christian. It just doesn't make sense. Even in the context of LOST, its too much of a web of inconsistencies to be.
But yeah, seriously, there is too much to explain, and the stuff they have not explained it very significant to the story.
I dunno, it could all work I guess.
