Come on now everyone, lets just be friends. We are all here for the same reasons. To blog about lost and compare theories on how it is going to unfold.

I do agree that many fans are going to be upset with the conclusion. They are not answering the questions in a good manner. It seems that for every question they answer, 2 or 3 new questions are asked. I can only hope that after watching this show for 6 years, faithfully, that it at least makes sense in the end.

well, he asked for it. i couldn’t put it any nicer. did you read his post? People have be clamoring for answers for nearly 6 years now so I think that when we get then we should be really happy. I believe that many people will be greatly disappointed at the end of the show due to unrealistic expectations and needing/wanting everything to be explained. One of the great things about this show is that it allows those that watch to interpret things differently and come on here and give their opinions. I know that I do not spend any time reading/posting about any other show and no other show makes me think so much about it throughout the week. My point being that although everyone is entitled to their opinions when that show smacks us in the face with answers we must accept them and move on to the next mystery. They have made it abundantly clear that the smoke monster is now in the form of Locke. Darlton isn’t going to show up on your front door and smack you across the face and say listen MIB/Smokey now looks like Locke and the “real” Locke is DEAD![/quote]
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but there’s still no need to call people names. That’s why blogs like this are here – for all of us to post our ideas no matter how crazy they are.

P[quote comment="371026"]Do you remember the Hugo-centric episode a few seasons back where we meet Dave? We are led to believe he comes from Hugo’s own imagination. Dave, like Locke, is also a manifestation of the smoke monster.

In “The Substitute”, the smoke monster, in the form of Locke, tries to convince Sawyer to join his cause. In “Dave”, the smoke monster – in another form – exploits Hugo’s feelings of self-doubt and tries to convince Hugo to jump off a cliff.

Off island, Hugo shuts the window on Dave just after he asks, “Do you smell that? It’s the smell of freedom.”

In both cases, Hugo is able to resist Dave’s prodding. He takes time to consider, but he doesn’t fall for the con. (No wonder Jacob thinks he so special.)

The concept of “freedom” is presented in both episodes, as well. Locke – as the monster – tells Sawyer he just wants to be free.

“See you in another life”, Dave yells as he launches himself from the cliff. Indeed we will.[/quote]*************
I just read this exact same theory word for word on darkufo come up with ur own ideas pls!!

It can absorb the personalities/memories of the dead – much as Miles can, although I doubt if these ‘souls’ could strictly be classified as ‘alive’ in any real sense. It needs a corpse to do this, which is why it’s only ever assumed the appearance of somebody who has died on the island, or whose body has been brought to the island.

What do you reckon?[/quote]

Well, off the top of my head, I can think of Dave, Walt, Kate’s horse, and Cooper — none of whom died on the island. So, …. That theory seems full of holes.[/quote]
Cooper did die on the island. Sawyer killed him at the Black Rock.[/quote]
Might not have been the real cooper.

Clearly the guy I called an idiot asked for it but apparently my sarcasm and wit isn’t playing well over the keyboard. If he was offended then I am sorry but he did asked what do you reckon and just gave him my honest opinion.

Sayid had a picture of Nadia. Perhaps that is what you are remembering?

Why not. Mister Friendly carried around a picture of Duke.

((oh snap!))[/quote]

Sorry Duke, but that is pretty funny![/quote]
Why would I be offended by that? I’m not his type either.
