Obviously the Adam/Eve skeletons are much more than 50 years old. I wonder why they seemed to decompose so little. Special properties conveyed by the island?
 
I thought they were supposed to be cavemen at first!

I thought one of them looked a lot like Sawyer, and I kept waiting for them to reveal his face, only to completely fuck with my mind even more than normal.

I was waiting for that reveal! He 'grunted' and moved like Sawyer, and there was a flash of a face that looked like Jack.

There was a shot later of a girl carrying a bucket that looked suspiciously like Kate.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
 
Yeah, I think Nutty Mom wanted one of the kids to exercise the escape clause and kill her.

Jacob is dead but Hurley can see him. Like MIB could see his birth mother.

Jacob must have extended protection to the various candidates, stopping MIB from killing them outright.
 
I forgot Jacob was living in the Statue's foot. I guess he did build it in honor of his mother. Does anyone have the slightest idea when on the timeline these events happened in terms of the people that visited the Island? The Mother spoke Latin, how old is that language? BTW when they first glimpsed the people killing the pig... the way they kept obscuring their faces... I thought they were supposed to be cavemen at first!

A couple of months ago I read the boys were born in 23AD. Don't know if that's accurate but seems about right.

I thought Above Average tonight. Gave a lot of answers and a few new questions of course. But I can forgive some mystical stuff as necessary for the story.

The Adam & Eve reveal was pretty underwhelming, but at least it's another question answered.
 
average

intriguing, but ultimately unsatisfying. Would have been better condensed into half an ep, with the other half moving the plot along. (had the same problem with Richard's origin story, which, apparently, i am in the minority).

Would've been much better earlier in the season, imo. But then again, we would never have had all that fun wondering if Flocke was actually evil or not :rolleyes:

Glad to know crazyMothers have always been welcomed on the island!
 
Hey, this means that Christian/Cerebus led Jack to his own original body in the cave way back in Season One. Cool.

I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of weird moments like this upon rewatching the series, once we know everything.
 
( to McCoy^ perhaps even if they weren't immortal, the decaying process was slowed down considerably. The island heals folks quickly, so it's not so far-fetched. (for Lost)

I think the episode explained who Jacob and The Brother With No Name came from, but wasn't really meant to explain the island, that's what the finale is for (I guess! :D )

Another piece in the puzzle.
 
Was anyone surprised that Jacob and Cerebus were literally brothers? "Ab Aeterno" gave me the impression that Jacob was an angel and Cerebus was the/a devil that he was tasked with keeping in prison. Of course it also implied that the purpose of the Island was a prison to keep evil from the world... rather than the source of all life.
 
Here's one theory shot down. The little boy that Not-Locke keeps seeing on the Island? Same actor playing Young Jacob in this episode. So that's dead Jacob and not a third god-like entity as I thought. Unless it's just taking the form of Lil' Jacob. :p

Didn't surprise me. And the smoke monster isn't Jacob's brother, it just took his form.

I was expecting to find out how the brother became smoke.
 
I wonder if The Brother With No name is 'special' the same way Desmond is 'special'?

Y'know, I'm gonna miss not having any more questions within questions when it's over. :(

There truly is no other show like Lost.
