What is your thinking about the episode of LOST, “Across The Sea”? My understanding of good vs. whole. and alive vs. evil. dead is all kinds of messed up right now. Jacob’s twin brother (aka Smokey) was not really a bad guy i was? All i wanted to do was leave the island (and the woman that kill his mother). I do not blame him for killing Allison Janney (Who did an outstanding job, did she).

Here are Some Questions I Have After watching “Across the Sea”:

- Is the light the same thing that Ben used when i turn the wheel to move the island? If the woman killed everybody, how did Ben and the others find the light and how much do him and the others (Such as Widmore and Eloise) know about it?

- We see historical bury dead brother Jacob. So who is the smoke monster? Is he Jacob’s brother come back from the dead in smoke form? Or something different?

- Jacob’s “mom” made it so the brothers could not hurt each other and also Jacob made the keeper of the island. Who / What gave her these powers? What did Jacob learn how to do after she died? That contraption in the lighthouse looked complicated – I was given a handbook?

- Was the “mom” bad or just misunderstood?

- The light is described as “life, death, rebirth, the source and heart of the island.” So why does it appear to be bad?
