Well, that doesn't prove that Jacob and Smokie don't know what's going on, it just shows they didn't know what was going on then. But I hated that episode, because it explained nothing while pretending it explained a lot of things. Ok, so we know how they got to the island and we know why Smokie wants to kill Jacob (or at least have a good idea). But as for why they can't kill each other, all we get is an "I made it so you can't," and as for why Smokie is now Smoke we get a magical light did it. Now just because Locke saw that light in season 1 does not excuse it. We got no answers wrapped up in the trappings of actual answers. I feel like I'm watching the TV equivalent of FFXIII here because I'm not only being treated like an idiot but they're actively trying to pull the wool over my eyes so I don't notice.Originally Posted by Miriel
They never had anything planned, and at this point I'm quite convinced that they've only kept going with new reveals and mysteries because the reveals of a lot of the older mysteries weren't nearly as interesting as the mysteries themselves (such as when they revealed who the others were, or who the Dharma initiative were). Really, we shouldn't be surprised that they're not living up to expectations when they do reveal things since so few have really lived up to expectations in the past.Does anyone at this point really believe that they had any of this planned? No one can be that gullible. And I can't recall it myself, but other people are saying that Jack said in the episode with Adam & Eve that the bodies looked to have been there for 40-50 years. So there's another writing fail for you.
RIP Lost. I loved you once.
So now we have a whole two episodes left. I have no idea how they're going to wrap it up even marginally adequately now. My bet is it's all going to feel rushed, not explain nearly enough, and probably leave us all disappointed.
