dunno if it was already said but maybe the reason Smokey is now 'locked' in Lockes body is because he is dead and usually Smokey only takes on the body of the living and he can keep changing shape. Maybe that was why Ben was manipulated into killing Locke by Jacob and bringing his body back to the island because he knew what was going to happen with Smokey taking on Lockes body.

I still think the lostisagame thing is bs. Nothing would make me hate the ending more than to find out the whole thing was literally a game. It's a while since I read it, but as I recall all that guy did was point out classic narrative, thematic and archetypical elements in the show. Stuff you'd find in any story but are more obvious (and less developed) in games.

Predicting character deaths isn't that hard. I was saying Locke was going to die and be resurrected before we even found out he was in the coffin. It's classic hero's journey stuff. The hero always dies and comes back to life, sometimes literally, sometimes metaphorically. You'll find it even in realistic dramas.

Of course, as it turns out Locke wasn't resurrected - but I'm certain that will happen (in some way) later in the season.

Ild be bummed out in a way but then again UnLocke said to Sawyer that Jacob manipulated them all into their decisions to lead them in one way or another to the island.

If it is a game.. what is the game> that would be more interesting than just saying 'oh its a game between 2 warring gods'

Smokie has manifested itself as;
Christian Sheppard (most likely) - Dead
Yemi - Dead
Alex - Dead
John Locke - Dead

Wow anyone see the the RTE2 ad for Lost. It gives us a peak into Thursdays Episode. Looks good.

Oh Nikki.... will you prove to be the piece that makes the whole puzzle fall into place?





(or just a pointless filler character after all? )
