- What is that light and why did it turn "dark-brother" into a smoke monster?
- Was the "fake-mom" a smoke monster too? Is that how she killed everybody in the villiage?
- If "fake-mom" is a smoke monster, how did she get into the light place in the first place?
- If "dark-brother" was never able to complete the wheel that "hides" the island, because "fake-mom" buried it, who completed it?
- Is it significant that Locke called "fake-mom" and "dark-brother's" bones their own "Adam and Eve"?
- Where is it going from here? How in the world are they going to wrap up this show in just a couple more episodes?

Lost....truly lost.
I have been watching Lost since the second season (thanks to Dante who caught me up with digital downloads of Season 1). I've been watching it now for a few years. We are down to the last couple of episodes of the final season. Last night was an episode that centered on Jacob's story and his dark brother (who still remains nameless). I am as confused as ever. I thought they were going to start answering some questions, but all I am getting is a huge bag of more questions. To make matters worse, I used to have a group of fellow Losties that I could talk to about the previous episode. We'd bounce theories off of each other and give our opinion about what happened. Everyone would notice something different about the episode that helped put it into perspective. It helped me to talk about it to sort it all out. However, I don't have a group like that at UC Denver. As far as I know, no one here watches the show but me. My wife and I discuss the show afterward and that helps. I'd love to hear some outside opinions from my fellow Losties. What do you think? Some of the glaring questions about last nights episode are...

Sorry Chris, can't help you with this one! :)
??????? I watched one episode about 4 years ago and went Huh? Never watched it again. If you want to talk 24 I can go there- Jack Rocks!
I second you on all those questions!
And what about that drink that the "fake mom" asked Jacob to drink that made him like her. Wasn't the nameless brother drinking from that same flask in another episode?
Why did "fake mom" thank nameless brother when he killed her?
What about Jacob leaving the island in previous episodes? Is he the one that put the wheel in so he could leave?
Plus, I'm left with so many more questions from other recent episdes. I'm at a loss as to where they are going with the story line...I liked it better when I had less answers. :) It intrigued me then...now it's loosing some of it's fascination factor for me. I suppose all good things must come to an end...Even if it's a bad ending. :)
I think fake mom thanked nameless brother when he killed her, because she was finally released from the curse of eternal life. Jacob got the curse of eternal life by drinking whatever that was, but apparently it's not eternal life if you can be killed at some point in the future. This is the same curse that Richard suffers from. But why? How does that fit in with the others who have drank the "koolaid"? lol
A friend of mine called attention to the fact that in an earlier season, Sawyer was reading a book called "The Bad Twin" or "The Evil Twin" [I forget which]
There are still tons of unanswered questions.
Personally I'm a little pissed off with the sub explosion from last week and the show not mentioning what exactly happened to the people on it.
I will dig around in some of my groups and see what others are thinking.
