I thought tonights episode was going nowhere.. my mind is officially blown!

Awesome ties in with an early episode of season 1! Congrats Lost writers! You are officially the greatest writers on earth.

A name damn it!

Yea I know right! If he has a name then this would've been the episode to reveal it on; now I feel like we'll NEVER get a name.

On another note: So close to the end, and they make an episode consisting of nothing but 3 non-main characters. Balls.

Great episode, still no name for MIB but now we know who S1's "Adam and Eve" are.

We also know why MiB wanted to kill Jacob, but we still do not know what the island is exactly (what exactly the light is, how Jacob and MiB's "mother" got there, etc, etc), and with only 2 episodes left, I doubt we will find out.

So the brother died while his "soul" got transformed into smokey. I still don't get why smokey wants to kill Jacob though, other than for revenge.

All smokey wants to do is leave the island (or at least, thats what his human form wanted), Jacob took his body by throwing him into the well/light/whatever, and he was (up until he died) protecting the island and preventing smokey from leaving. So not only did Jacob "kill" smokey, he is also keeping him from getting what he wants.

ok.. so here is what happened tonight..lol

We Know:

who adam and eve are.

Jacob and MIB are brothers.

They can't kill each other.

What we don't know as of tonight:

Why can't they kill each other.

Wtf is the black smoke.

What the light is

Why they can't leave the island.

Why MIB is "special" and how

Why, if jacob was supposed to protect the light, did he throw his brother into it

MIB's name

If MIB is dead, why did we see him in earlier episodes talking with jacob years later

WTF was MIB going to accomplish with a wheel and some light

If MIB could see "dead people" then wouldn't Hurly be a candidate for him

Once again.. very little answered, but a thousand more questions given.. i'm losing hope quickly that the end is gonna reveal much.

It seemed like the brother would have been able to legitimately leave the island by turning the wheel he found (why else would the mother knock him out and burn the well)? Now that he is trapped in smokey form, he can no longer use the wheel. That's what I gathered from all this.

Well. That was Crap. All we found out was how they got there and who adam and eve is. It was a good episode. But they could have covered alot more. We learnt nothing!

Agreed. I almost wish I had never started watching this show lol. If I could send a message back in time to myself, it would say "wait until the series ends and then just wikipedia the storyline." :unsure:

Well, as far as the wheel and the light, it would transport him off the island like Ben and Locke. The smoke monster probably absorbed his mind or he was transformed into it through the light (although leaving his body behind), which is why we see him talking with Jacob years later.

Well it made a little more sense for ben and locke, as Dharma was there already and had scientists who have been studying it. These were people from ages ago that were straight off a boat, i'm very doubtful they would know anything science related.

Smokey can take the form of any dead person on the island, its likely the earlier episodes of him talking to Jacob are either before he died, or after, which he took the form of his human body so Jacob would recognize him.

If MIB could see "dead people" then wouldn't Hurly be a candidate for him

That thought crossed my mind right before I read your post.

Hurley and MiB can both see dead people, so does that mean Hurley is the new MiB and Jack (presumably) is the new Jacob?

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.
    • Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.
    • Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.
    • Classic. China would be nothing without Western, Japanese, and South Korean technology.
    • The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
