I think I might be in the minority on this one. I'm not saying it was mind-blowing or anything, but all of us went into the episode knowing it was about MIB and his motives. We got his entire backstory which we didn't know shite about earlier. That's what I expected and I got. I'm with Godfather here, I'm just gonna take what the next 2 weeks give me.


And also, if we didn't get MIBs name in this episode, it wouldn't surprise me if we never do.

I think it's still going to happen. Jacob has been living in a cave the entire episode. They have to explain why he moved into the statue.

Why is it so important to learn about how the statue was built? Who gives a shite?

What's your problem? You've defended this show through every stupid story line, why should this week be any different? Granted, I made my post before I saw you agreed that this episode sucked -- I'm just glad you finally saw the light even if it took you until the 11th hour.

Just because your precious LOST has been a big circle jerk, don't take it out on me.

Why did you think that? I thought we've known for over a week this was MIBs episode. I'm not saying you're wrong, just I had never seen that mentioned here or anywhere else.

Doesn't it have to do with why babies can't be conceived on the island?

I think they'll explain it.

Jacob drinks the wine that obviously gives him eternal life. Obviously that's why his mom never aged. We don't know what was in the wine or how it works, but I don't really care. I'm fine with this being a mystery.

Jacob's brother dies in the light but his spirit is still alive and can take the form of whatever.

It's nice to have some background on the island and I am fine with the placement of this episode in the season. The only problem I have is that MIB doesn't seem that bad.

Her explaining the light how she did was fine too. It's ancient times. Lots of weird things have logical explanations in 2010 but it's 46 ad or whatever.

Just tell me why mib is bad.

If the potion is needed to pass on the responsibility to watch the island then why did Jacob give the bottle to MIB in the Richard centric episode?

As usual, almost more questions than answers.

I actually liked the episode except the whole LIGHT needs protecting was a bit weak, but to be honest we always knew the core answers were probably going to be weak or unexplained.

sometimes its not about just getting answers but having the answers not be incredibly stupid, like he's immortal cause he drank some wine.

Oh well. I've enjoyed the show. Its just clear that its nowhere near as clever as I thought it was.

Yea we figured out what Jacob's job is... to protect light coming out of a fricking cave... why? who the frick knows.

We also know why MIB can't get off the island... Oh wait, no we don't.

The only thing I wanted to get answered tonight was how the game was set up and what the rules were... And guess what... it's the only thing they didn't answer.

frick you Lost.

Why could MIB not leave the island to begin with?

When he asked his mom she said "because I love you"....Ok?

I don't see why he couldn't have been allowed to leave and Jacob stay back and protect the light.
