ONly thing I can figure is that Jacob pulled in the Black Rock the night of that conversation with MIB.

I'm bummed.
After the first few episodes, everyone that watched it said that the survivors were in "Purgatory". The producers, Abrams, etc. quickly denied that. Now, after nearly 6 full seasons, we're learning that while it may not be called purgatory, that seems to be where they're leading us. The "MIB" is Satan and he's not to be allowed to leave the "island". They're implying to date, that the island is purgatory and that if he's allowed to leave, he'll destroy mankind. I was really hoping for something much more. |

This one let me down.
I figured the guy to have some kind of awesome history and it just didn't happen. For a full-episode reveal I expected better...

Yeah, we get it.
It's a mini-battleground between heaven and hell. Whatever side loses allows the other to rule. It's the timeless argument between good and evil; "given free will what are people most likely to do?"

I agree that last nights episode didn’t have a ton of new information or ‘answers’, everything they said has been kind of theorized on this board. However it did fill in some gaps of uncertainity, We got a better feel for MIB and Jacob’s relationship. Found out what era Richard is from, I believe the date they gave was 1867?! So he is approximately 160 years old. We found out what did happen to the statue.(so at one time Sawyer and everyone that didn’t leave the island, did time travel to a time period before 1867.)
I really like the idea of the island being the ‘fighting grounds’ between hell and earth. The only thing I didn’t understand is why does the MIB have to have some else kill Jacob for him? Why didn’t he just kill him himself way back when? I also really like the theme of doing things at your own will, no one can force you to do something; it is all on your shoulders. |

I still got questions about how the #'s tie in? What about Walt? I thought he was intergral to the plot? Why was there a need for candidates to replace Jacob? Whats the deal with the stone that Jacob gave MIB?

After sleeping on it, last nights episode was really lame. The whole Richard story was a bad Harelequin romance. As Dane said, if the whole thing between MIB/Jacob is just a battle between a good angel and bad angel then the whole show is big let down.
The ship being tossed into the middle of the jungle by a wave is just plain dumb as well.

While I don't think it provided some of the answers I was looking for and I don't think it was all it was cracked up to be, I enjoyed the episode.

If the island is hell.... then why was there a giant statue of an Egyptian deity built on the shore?

Re: the necklace "give it to the Dr.' Anyone think Guyliner will someday hand it over to John Shepard?
