LOST Theories (will have spoliers)

[Blitz]

People are never ever going to get the answers they want. How far does it have to go to satisfy you? Where did the light come from? What is the exact nature of it? How did Mother make them ageless? Why is the island there in the first place? These are all far too deep questions, in the sense that it takes way too much time to explain them.

I think it was a good episode in terms of better expanding on the characters of Jacob and MIB, and that's the important part. The characters are what make us love the show, not the mysteries, because if we don't care about the characters, why would we engage with them trying to solve the mysteries?

With all the hype surrounding this ep, you had to know it was gonna disappoint. People spend so much time theorizing over the show that they get hurt when it turns out none of their theories are true, or that the reality is much simpler. Fuck just enjoy the ride, don't get your panties in a knot because the end of the show isn't living up to the exact idea of what you thought it'd be.

I'm actually with you Blitz, I quite liked the episode as it was something different than the norm and showed us the MIB was once good, but he more or less lost his innocence and merely just wanted what all normal men want. Answers! I don't see how that made him evil. If anything Jacob could be considered just as evil for having killed his brother.

What got me was how only Jacob's brother could see the dead, but nobody else can. Sound familiar?

I'm sure there is more to it, and we won't find out everything there is to find out before it's all said and done. I'm excited that we get 3 1/2 hours of Lost next week tbh.

That is all correct but all of that raises more questions and contradictions about stuff we have been shown and found out since the start.

Jacob is a murderer, and therefore 'tainted'.

MIB could see dead people, but we still dont know if its certain people who are 'blessed' or the will of The Island who allows certain people to be subjected to the dead.
