More and more, I think Smokey is just a guy who's had too much weird shit happen to him on the island, like everyone else. He has already indicated a few times that he used to be a man, so I'm not sure where all this "god" talk is coming from — especially considering all his limitations and his fear of dying. It's…

Blood Waters of Dr. Z is one of my personal favorites (I was hoping it'd be released along with Pumaman — that'd be the perfect set for me). But Final Sacrifice is simply a classic. I'm about to head over to Best Buy right now.

I hope it's like this: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Obviously touching Jin and Sun at the same time is all part of Jacob's plan to trick Smokey into giving him $100,000.

Yes, a polar bear was found in Tunisia, and it seems logical to conclude that a polar bear turned the donkey wheel at some point. And seeing as how it's so cold in the donkey wheel chamber, it's logical to conclude that this was the Dharma Initative's plan for polar bears all along.

Yeah, fuck that guy and his occasional, harmless typos on an internet comment section!

Oh, unless only those who were there at the incident are transferring over. That would resolve some problems, but raise questions about Rose and Bernard.

Lost theory arising in a half-dream state.
I haven't commented on this episode, because I just haven't had too many thoughts about it. It was a good episode, I enjoyed it, but it didn't really get me theorizing like other episodes do.

Plato, I just read that as "Obi Wang," which is… hilarious.

"For a show that does so many things right, Lost needs to fire its wig masters TODAY."

It's not uncharted, you LOST THE CHART!

Yeah, I think, usually, when one of us is actually right about a theory, it's the result of probability (one of our theories will be right), rather than actual evidence-based theorizing.

That has to do with Locke's dad conning him in that episode. Locke is the mouse and Cooper is… the game Mouse Trap.

It'll turn out that the island is really just the Nazi planet from that one episode!

That's my thinking too, Green and April. I would only add that he wasn't always a pillar of smoke and I believe Not-Lock when he says he used to be a man. So I think the island requires someone to fill the Jacob position and someone else to fill the Smokey position - this person then being cursed in a sense.

Mr. Linus has a sneaky way of getting kids to learn about the Renaissance by making it seem like it's THEIR idea to learn about it.

Still, let's remember that Ben conned Sawyer. And who conned Ben last season???

"Alexing, I proposed in a later thread that Jacob and Smokey are gods of life and death. That's pretty special."

Post, agreed. And I wasn't complaining, just predicting it. I don't want an explanation, either.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost of my former self.
