LOST *contains spoilers*

[Simmzay]

This season has been really inconsistent as far as quality goes. Only episodes I've enjoyed were the premiere, last week's and the Locke-flash episode. It makes you wonder what the alt timeline can possibly lead to, even the best case scenario won't involve the Island since it's underwater. Maybe the big reveal will be Jacob existing in this alt timeline.

Next week's will definitely be great though. According to the actor that plays Richard it will have some major reveals. But I'll be happy enough seeing the Island through Richard's perspective in the past.

the major spoil is supposed to be jacob telling people what the island is.

Can Widmore be a candidate? Or do we already know every possible candidate there is?

Kate isn't.

I hope the flashsideways play some sort of significance, if not, its just there to take up time "/ which is useless

I think there will be some significance. Pretty sure the writers would know that nobody would want to know about what happens in the flash sideways if there wasn't any. Plus the fact that they're all bumping into each other kinda hints that there is something bringing them together.

Ab Aeterno was a slight anticlimax, I guess I was expecting much better. But saying that, I still really enjoyed to have an entire episode dedicated to Richard and his origins and to see Jacob/MiB playing puppetmasters with him.

Also I've been reading theories on the flash-sideways which after this episode make them seem much more likely, I won't taint anyones own theories so i'll refrain from posting.

Do you think it's likely MIB was released into the world in the alternate timeline? Considering the Island is underwater.

Yeh that could be likely, that was the way off the island for jacob to be dead and the island to be destroyed but then again if the island was destroyed before the plane crashed then MIB would of not been able to take over John Lock and convience Ben to kill Jacob.

I'm having a hard time establishing what exactly MIB's powers are in terms of shape shifting. It seems he can take the form of people's loved ones and when he does so he scans their memories (apparently) and takes their form. For the likes of Yemi, Isabella etc, only the person who knew them actually sees them. Which makes me wonder, is Christian Shepard actually MIB, MIB taking his form, or someone else? People that never actually knew Christian saw him on the Island and if I remember correctly Sun meets him when MIB is actually trapped in Locke's body. So if MIB can't be Christian then I can only assume Christian is either "claimed"or a different being altogether.

Really confuses me.
