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?

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
