LOST 6.15: Across The Sea

Blah blah blah Spoiler Alert....



Talk about a flashback, huh?

  So, what answers did we get?

  We learned the identity of Adam and Eve.
   We learned of the origin of Smokey.
 We sorta learned why the Island is special.

 We learned that the MIB and Jacob ARE brothers.

 We learned about MIB's crazy mother.

 What questions were raised?
   How did their Mother end up on the Island?
   How long had she been there?
   Who exactly tasked her with taking care of "the light" ?
  How many other people had she killed? I noticed a bunch of graves behind the pregnant Claudia(I guess that was her "killing spot"?).
  How did she make it so that they could not kill each other?
 Were Jacob and _________ special before they arrived, or did she make them special?
  Why can't Jacob see the dead?
  Do Jacob and ____________ know all the "rules" simply because of their community with the Island? Jacob because he drank the wine and accepted the responsibility and ______________ because he became Smokey?
   What do you think we are supposed to think about the ghost of Claudia? was she just telling her son the truth, or was it some sort of manipulation? But by whom? Does the Island itself tempt and test people?

   I loved "Every question you ask will lead to another question."
    And "One day you can make up your own game, and everyone will have to play by your rules."

 A coupla questions to people smarter than I? Is this like the Esau Jacob story? Or Cain and Abel? The chosen one not wanting to be "chosen", and the other brother stepping in?

  Also, anyone know about when this was supposed to be, history wise? Anyone recognize Claudia and her people's clothing ?

  Wow, my brain is still reeling from this episode.

  What did y'all think ? What did I miss?
