LOST fans ... Anyone left??? [Warning: spoilers]

I will say, this was a good episode for Juliet... after the inane "I changed my mind line."

But I still found it FRUSTRATING - even though they spent so much of the episode showing Jacob, all we learned was that he interacted with them in the past.
We still don't know who he really is, or why or how he ... is what/who he is...!?!  Grrr.

At this point, I'd be satisfied and amused if they all end up boarding the plane as strangers and landing in LA.  But I'm pretty sure that won't happen.

It's frustrating!  But Im going to try and not think about it all since we have to wait till NEXT YEAR!!!!

Yeah, but it might have to wait until next week when i'm sans kids on half-term.....dont think I can squeeze 2 hours of telly in this week!  (hence the reading ahead! though I already knew the gal who went boom was going....)

You knew!!!!  I had no idea

Undead Locke has GOT to be the smoke monster in disguise (and we know it can change form from before)....

I most enjoyed Miles pointing out that setting off the A-bomb might actually BE the incident, and then watching everyone's faces, hahah

And I thought it was really sweet how Jacob pointed out to Hurley that his seeing dead people was a blessing, but I really wanted to see what's inside the guitar case. I mean, I presumed it was always Charlie's guitar, but with this show I can't presume anything - maybe Hurley will go all El Mariachi with it next season!

Speaking of faces, I found it mildly amusing - yet annoying, because it's way too out of character - the look on Sayid's face when he was told uh, no, you didn't kill Ben.
Was more of a "D'oh!" expression, which I would never expect Sayid to have.

That makes total sense!  WOW!!  Especially as he probably took the form of Ben's daughter to tell Ben to listen to everything Undead Locke says

That was great wasn't it!!! I heart Miles!  

what has that Undead young Locke talking to Jacob been on?? he looked sssoo familiar..

so do you think undead locke and the guy talking to Jacob saying he  wants to kill him..all the same  person??

Yes.  He talked about a loophole in the first scene.  The loophole was killing Jacob via another person.

Yes, i'd read that Juliet has been hired to be in a remake of that old series 'V' (now that's dating me!)...so it was assumed she would be going bye bye in the season finale (but of course, always the possibilities of quick returns as others have done...)

OK, as much as I loved Juliet, OMG!!!  I LOVE V!!!!  They are remaking it!!!  SWEET!

I used to have a crush on...Marc Singer? Think that was his name?

That's his name.  Didn't you love his skin tight jeans

Beastmaster!

I'm looking forward to the new series with Sonya Walger (Penny Widmore)...though I hope it's clearer than Lost has been.

YES!  The Ferrets and Tanya Roberts!

Ohh, cool!

Here's my theory if anyone is interested.

It's a power struggle between two (or more) Egyptian gods.  Jacob is Sebek-Ra.  Sebek-Ra is a composit of Sebek and Ra, a manifestaton of the sun-god.  In this role he was envisaged as a man with a crocodile's head (think colossus holding an ankh in each hand).  At the begining of the episode we see Jacob weaving a tapestry of the sun with tiny people bowing down to it. The guy on the beach in the black shirt who said he wants to kill Jacob and will someday find a "loophole" is Apep or Set.  Apep/Set is depicted as a snake-god, the serpent of chaos and is opposed to the sun-god Ra.  So, I think Apep is the smoke monster and can take on the appearence of anyone, in this case the permenantly dead Locke.  I don't think Ben is Apep's loophole and I don't think Jacob/Sobek-Ra is dead.  But I'll have to wait until next season.

The goddess Tauret could also be - or was- at work on the island.  Tauret is the goddess of childbirth, depicted as having the head of a hippo, the legs of a lion and the tail of a crocodile.  Her fearsom appearance drove off evil spirits at the birth of a child.  Perhaps this goddess left or was banished from the island.  This coluld be why no-one is able to conceive on the island, except for Sun, but Jacob personally chose her and Gin -edit Jin-.  Claire and Rousseau conceived before they came to the island.  Eloise is a good candidate for Tauret or perhaps another character not yet revealed. 

Cerebus -edit Cerberus- was metioned as well and old Vincent doesn't seem any worse off after all the time shifts and such. 

The magnetic anomaly is a wormhole.  The Oceanic Six took off from Sydney to LA.  They were off course by 1300? miles so this would make the island somewhere in the southwest Pacific.  If I could dig a hole from Egypt (Thebes or Karnak) I would come out on the opposite side of the planet somewhere in the southwest Pacific.  Same with Tunisia but the antipode would be a bit more south -edit and east- since the island moves -edit and Tunisia is north and west of Egypt- .

The colossus could have been built by the slaves and crew of the Black Rock. I think Richard was the Captain and was thus given immortality by the gods since he doesn't seem to age.

Or not to all the above.   

Anyway, I could go on and on but ancient Egyptian mythos is so convoluted the writers have a perfect subject to use their creative licence.

Edited for clarity and spelling....hopefully.

Here's my theory if anyone is interested.

Great theory!! Thanks! 

I don't think Jacob/Sobek-Ra is dead.  But I'll have to wait until next season.

I agree with you on this, he allowed it to happen too quickly.   Perhaps using Locke's body is it? Or maybe something to do with Sun since she is the only woman in a long time who was able to give birth on the island? 

Saffron what do you think was the loophole?
