LOST *contains spoilers*

I think you guys have got it all wrong? By watching that episode it seemed to me that Jacob killed his brother (not currently the black smoke), and as he fell into the Source (the cave of light), it released the black smoke, and then later on, the black smoke merely took the form of Jacob's dead brother.

Also, didn't Jack say that the Adam & Eve skeletons were only about 40/50 years old or something? :S

Yeah Jack said that it takes that long for the clothes to decompose.

Jacob killed his brother physically, but his soul became the black smoke. It can be backed up in Ab Aeterno where MiB tells Richard that the "Devil" took his body, and also when Locke and Jack were talking in the sideways timeline about Jacks father being gone, but not his soul or w/e.

I'm not any clearer on what's what and who's who. As has been mentioned, the whole light in the water thing was crap. It didn't explain anything further than "this is the reason we are here, we don't know what it is. Why do we protect it? Just because blablabla, more ambiguous answers".
I accept that they're not going to be able to give a justifiable scientific explanation but I wouldn't even mind some pseudo-science if it shone some light, see what I did there, on some of the questions. Especially the black smoke thing. Obviously it would be good to get some further clarification as to whether the black smoke was created when MiB was sucked into the island's glory hole or whether he actually becomes the black smoke, spiritually speaking. But on top of that I really hope they give some explanation as to why he became black smoke.
However that seems highly unlikely since any character with the slightest possibility of knowing the answers to these questions is dead, with the exception of the MiB himself and even then, he get's his information because "he's special" (also a total load).

Yeah, but a bit of a difference between 50 years and 2000 years.

Yeah, that's true actually, because I also remember MiB telling Kate about how his mother was crazy.

Oh and also it explains why MiB still wants to get of the island pretty well.

Jack said something like 40-50 years and the producers said Jack isn't a carbon dater soecialist. Doesn't take a professional to know that those clothes wouldn't of lasted that long.

We saw a hieroglyph that showed what seemed to be the smoke monster 'battling' or commanding the Anubis figure. But this won't be shown in the show I guess so they have just left it to our imaginations. So I believe that between Across the Sea and present day, there were some egyptian settlers who MiB terrorised and they could have built it either for his appeasement or just a prayer to the gods.

for reference;



Anyway. What they died for was a pretty good episode, I can't actually believe the show is ending and I'm going to get emotional. It's airing in America this Sunday so it'll be over on Monday for me, aww maaan.
