Coco did you come up with that yourself? That's brilliant

I must say I did.

Claire saw Christian too...not just Miles though. What do you think of that?

Did you mean to say:

If not then I think it was because the smoke monster was targeting Claire directly, but does this mean the monster uses Shephards physical body as well?

In prior instances we have seen manifestations of the smoke monster, i.e. Walt and Yemi. I don't really know what to make of Christian and Claire and Miles. I think its one of: a) Miles saw Christian, because Christian is really there. b) Miles saw Christian because he can see dead people. c) Miles didn't see Christian, just saw Claire say "dad" and leave.

Another note that I have to give my dad credit for: Jack didn't have a scar on his appendix area in the flashforward. Perhaps Hurley was right?

He actually did, however its not as noticable as you would think. The flashforward did take place almost three years after the surgery though.

Coco's Disciples · 05-03-2008, 01:39 PM

Oh, he did...nevermind then.

I like this manifestation idea. If I remember correctly in a prior season, I got the feeling that anyone who came into contact with the smoke monster saw something about him/herself in it. I also remember that when Locke first encountered the smoke monster (it was off-screen, not when he's almost dragged into the hole), he was asked whether or not he saw the monster and he clearly lied. But what he did say at some point was, "I have looked into the eye of this island, and what I saw was beautiful." I'm inclined to believe he saw something when the smoke monster approached him. But I'm not sure why the smoke monster has killed other people in the past, like the pilot of the plane (in the pilot episode).

Ben obviously can control (or release) the smoke monster. I wonder why he had it kill Mr. Ecko? I know the actor wanted off of the show for personal reasons.

I really liked this episode. Except for Jack trying to stay awake during the surgery, he annoys me when he gets so bull-headed. Juliet had done the surgery a lot in the past.

Glad to know Sawyer is alive. Poor Hurley. The next few episodes are going to be awesome and I can't wait!

Also, Christian reappearing coincides very nicely with Miles the ghost-whisperer. That should play a big part.

Very informative, detail oriented and interesting. Thanks for posting the link MOF24!

Soxfan#1 · 05-04-2008, 01:00 PM

I think the monster has a mind of its own. I bet Ben has some control over it, but I thinkhalf the shit its done is its own idea.

**schillingouttheks** · 05-04-2008, 05:49 PM

The only problem with the manifestation idea is that now we're assuming the smoke monster can leave the island. I know there's nothing to suggest that it can't, but perhaps it's too big of a stretch?
