It looks like we're in for a mind-blowing final season. And as much as I hated the CGI on the big screen, it seemed to be substantially better for the network broadcast. Then again, maybe I was just less shocked by it.<br /><br />I also cannot believe I never put together the idea that Jack could fix Locke's paralysis!

Did he then abandon it and use the cabin instead, using ash to keep MIB out? It appears that he felt free to go back and use the statue to live in again after which his cabin was being used by MIB. <br /><br /Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999152239550362900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025276501437850375.post-26227299438838467432010-02-03T12:46:16.320-08:002010-02-03T12:46:16.320-08:00i agree that the cabin had contained the MIB for a...i agree that the cabin had contained the MIB for at least a certain amount of time. I feel like all the manifestations of smokey were due to the MIB - including Christian, because they helped push Locke and Ben towards events that would lead to MIB's ability to capitalize on the loophole.

So Sayid died and was resurrected - maybe to guide everyone to "eternal" life (like Jesus)? Sayid was also a sinner (murderer), but was washed of his sins and will now live eternally?

I agree with a lot of what you speculate about, except for this - why would Jacob need to be in an ash-surrounded cabin to be protected from the MiB? The MiB can't kill Jacob directly. I think the cabin was where the MiB lived and the circle of ash was what kept him there. Or maybe Jacob did live there and then moved to the statue? It's confusing.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998783092404762885noreply@blogger.com
