Revival in the pool doesn’t give one some special connection with Jacob. Ben was revived in the pool, and he was never able to speak with Jacob. If anything, the pool gave Ben the ability to communicate with MIB (whom he only thought was Jacob).

But remember that Flocke says the question is not what but who when Ben asks him what he is. I don’t know what this means in terms of smokey…being a who and not a what. In any case, Darlton denied because Locke was clearly not possessed, Locke was lying on the beach dead as a doornail

With both Nadia & Shannon dead, virtually no relationship with his family, targets & torture victims coming after him, & a birthplace besieged…

Yeah! Ben’s old job seems both attractive & relaxing.

To me it’s clear that Sayid has been reborn much like when Ben was healed by the others as a child. This makes me think that he is an important figure to Jacob and the others in the sense that he’s their future leader. I just rewatched seasons 1-5 in a month, and I can’t think of one man better suited for that position.

What about The Search for Spock?

Sayid = McCoy
Jacob = Spock

Sayid is “inhabited” by Jacob and the future episode referenced is the transfer of the Jacob-parasite from Sayid back to the dead body of Jacob.
-OH WAIT! It’s burned up!

Any volunteers?

How come Nikki and Paolo weren’t seen on the plane in the 815 scenes?

…

Oh yeah because we don’t WANT to see them.

Ha! Now that’s funny.

I noticed nobody complained that Nikki and Paolo weren’t seen on the plane in the 815 scenes…

Exactly! Thanks for the clarification, dude.

Also, what Darlton meant was that both, MiB and Flocke, are apparitions of Smokey. So the true entity is the smoke monster that switches bodies. Not a human person that occasionally turns into smoke.

That made me laugh out loud for real. Thanks!

Also your point about Walt is something I’ve been pondering. They did indeed say that certain Walt manifestations were the monster. Maybe it can manifest as anybody in an illusory way, but to get all the memories and personality of a person, that person needs to be dead. Clearly just looking like John wasn’t going to cut the mustard for the loophole, after all.

Which is all kind of silly. I guess Jacob trusted the Shadow of the Statue people enough to have them come to the Island to be killed. Lends some truth to the idea that Jacob is not 100% the good guy. He led them like lambs to the slaughter. Sure, all part of the bigger picture. I know. Jacob had to die. Shadow seekers had to die.

You have to wonder what Jacob told Richard about MIB. “Oh hey Richard, this is my frenemy Mr. Dark Shirt. We’re in this very weird century long stalemate where we can’t kill each other. Thanks for coming to our Island. You mind if I make you immortal now? I could use a better friend who’s not trying to find a loophole to kill me.”

It’s all semantics. Maybe the trick is the word “possessed.” Who knows. I see no other conclusion but to draw that MIB is Fake Locke is The Smoke Monster. As we get closer to the end, the more simple the answer, the more likely it is to be correct.

By: Nick Stevens

Nick Stevens — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:57:38 +0000

Yeah, he clearly never bothered to tell Richard he had off-island bodyguards that might come around.

No probs.
That’s my Zombieland-esque rulebook to survive Smokey’s wrath.

Jacob’s circle of trust is/was very small. It was just him. He couldn’t trust anyone, not even Richard.

By: Nick Stevens

Nick Stevens — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:54:10 +0000

I agree with you for the most part and it’s a good idea. I still say that Damon did not flatly state that Flocke was not MiB though.

By: Nick Stevens

Nick Stevens — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:50:03 +0000

Well put.

He said that the Fake Locke was Smokie and not the MIB. If Smokie can manifest as someone else (someone dead – although I don’t think they need to be dead – wasn’t the wet walt confirmed to be Smokie?) then maybe the MIB was just someone used by Smokie to take a human form.

By: Paul Escobar

Couple of rules about Smokey:
1) Makes copies of bodies (dead bodies still exist, Smokey clones them).
2) Can’t be in two places at once (appears as smoke or clone, but not both).
3) Can’t pass through ashes (both Jacbob’s bodyguard & Others prove this).

All three points prove Sayid can’t be Smokey (or MIB).
1) Sayid’s dead body actually came back to life, not a copy of it.
2) Smokey was Locke leading a march, when Sayid woke up.
3) The others spread ashes around the temple before Sayid woke up.

Well, I’ve been thinking about this too… and what Kimmel asked was “Is John Locke possessed by the man in black?” To which Damon said “Uhhhh… no”. Think about the wording of the question and then that pause which Damon takes before answering bearing in mind that the real Locke is definitely a dead body.

It’s not unknown for the producers to take a question very literally to deliberately give a misleading, but truthful, answer.

Supposedly The Darlton revealed on the Jimmy Kiibbles Show last night that UnLocked is NOT MIB!?! Only saw a reference to it, don’t know if it’s true. Anyone?

So maybe Sayid is MIB!?!

By: Nick Stevens

Nick Stevens — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:22:45 +0000

While, yes, it’s true that when Jack EVENTUALLY came to have a look at Sayid he said there was nothing he could do… it’s that aforementioned “eventually” I found to be rather galling.

By: Handsome Smitty

NO, they did not let Sayid bleed to death. Jack clearly stated that even if he removed the bullet he could not stop the bleeding. Sometimes bullets cause so much damage the it’s impossible to repair all the severed veins. Plus Jack didn’t have the benefit of an operating room and the necessary equipment to suture veins.

Jack even acquiesced to Hurely and the Temple people in order to help Sayid.
