I watched the first four episodes last fall, but could never get hooked when it came back on, and I did watch a few. That ing kid chasing the lizard-girl is beyond stupid, and I won't put up with stupid characters.

The other thing that has me wondering is there some other huge red herring going on under our noses. I'm thinking back to when Jacob was literally cooking a fish on the island that was a red herring. Thinking that has got to mean something. How crazy would it be if even Jacob or Flocke truly didn't fully understand the nature of the island or have real answers kind of like Richard? The writers couldn't be that cruel, but then again that would leave us with a wtf feeling which this show has always done.
I am such a huge fan of the original V and all of it's cheesiness and Marc Singer's tight trousers and overacting. I like that the new series is not a total rip off of the original.
If you were going to get Lost on Blu Ray, would you buy them individually or just wait until August and buy the complete series?
Are they selling a packaged full series release, or are you talking about buying 6 single season packages? I already have 1-5 on blu.
What kind of life do you have in the sideways timeline?
I started watching it but then I got bored with it. Is it any good?
I'm talking about a complete series bundle versus buying the seasons individually.
Ah, I think I'll pass on that, since it will likely be ungodly expensive. I'll just pick up Season 6 on Blu-ray when they release it.
I'm going to get the full bundle... they said it will be around $150, which isn't that bad really. (Considering there's going to be 110+hours of video or so... lol)
If it's only $150, I'll buy it and sell/give away my DVDs. That ain't bad at all.
You can't be talking blu-ray at that price, right?
I believe so... let me find the news article on it.
Ah, my bad... it's $200. Still, I'm pretty sure I'll go for it.

Tomorrow's episode is about Jacob.
Great episode....so they are brothers. Jacob and MIB both were good......MIB just wants to leave the island like he says I guess. Good in episode so far sons...
. ing. yes.
Scratches head! What just happened?
I knew they were brothers.Damn, fake mom killed their mother.
We know what the heart of the island is. Is that what Widmore is after?
Did MIB turn into Smokey when he was thrown into the lighted cave?
Great episode, but sadly, I don't know that we're going to get much more of an explanation about the background of Jacob/MIB. With only one episode left before the season finale, I would imagine that most of the time will be spent on the main characters.
I do have questions from this episode -
1. What was the woman who raised Jacob/MIB? An goddess? An angel?
2. If she was somewhat evil (killing innocents) and had the job of protecting the light, does that mean that Jacob is somewhat evil?
3. The light obviously isn't Heaven or anything good or redeeming because it turned MIB into the smoke monster, so what is it?
4. If the wheel was already constructed when the Losties reached the island, why hadn't MIB left?
I hate to be picky about stuff, but weren't the skeletons seperate when they were found? Did MiB/Mother somehow move? And why did Jack only estimate they'd been there for 50 years (this could actually be explained in a cool way, but I don't want to spoil anyone if I'm right lol)? It just seems lazy after everything the creators ask us to invest in the show.
Still have no clue wtf the black smoke is or why it sounds like its in chains, but I gotta have faith MiB explains what he saw/experienced when he went into the light. He is definately a bad guy tho, using people as a means to an end (perhaps foreshadowing the final episode le?).
I'll give them a pass since it seems they still have to explain how MiB comes back to antagonize Jacob through the centuries, and if any other people besides Richard Alpert's ship ended up on the island.
So, we find out where the Donkey Wheel came from. We find out who the skeletons were. We found out who was in the guardian position before Jacob. We found out the origin of the Smoke Monster.
Damn.

Smokey = MIB's soul?
Oh yea, forgot to mention that I like the whole allusion to the hatch and next person taking it over...like the "protector of the light" being something that's passed on. :p
I just love Allison Janney. She's amazing!
Liked the episode, didn't love it.
If this episode weren't aired so closely to the finale, it would be the best of the season. But, since the answers we got were returned two-fold with more questions, I am sure the writers will not (satisfactorily) answer the questions they set us up to ponder for 6 years in just 3 and 1/2 more hours.
Especially when the answer we get for "What is the smoke monster and where did he/it come from?" is 'Jacob threw MIB into a cave, covering a waterfall, filled with a bright light we'll describe as life, death, rebirth. Then smokey appears.'
the , man?
Other than knowing the show is coming to an end with millions of questions remaining to be answered is the only reason I only liked (not loved) this episode.

The light coming from the top of the cave did look a lot like this:
