I always kind of assumed those were the other Ajira survivors (who are now dead), based on the outriggers and the empty Ajira water bottles.
I want to know why no one ever talked to each other.
Two more occurred to me.
1. In the flash-forward when Jack was falling apart in the hospital he makes mention of his father as if her were still alive. What was that?
2. I know we haven't been told the rules of the alternative universe yet, but how did Alex wind up an American teenager in Los Angeles? Shouldn't she be in France?

Wasn't he just really drunk/stoned on pain pills?
Well, obviously, instead of getting trapped on the Island, Danielle moved to LA at some point.
He has hallucinations of Christian which leads to his addiction.
But are those canon?
My theory has always been that the drops were being made in the 1970s, when DHARMA was active. But just as people leaving the island have to take a certain bearing or they end up in the wrong timeframe, the plane coming in with the food that one time was slightly off course and arrived at the island 30 years later than its pilot had intended it to, much like Ray's body washed up on the island when he was still alive and on the freighter.
Alternatively, the food drop took place during a lockdown, and the timer in the Swan would have hit zero during the lockdown as well. Perhaps there was an electromagnetic buildup that caused the plane making the drop to be pulled off course, again resulting in a time differential. After all, if memory serves, we've only actually seen the one food drop, back in S2, and it seemed to be connected to the lockdown somehow.
I'm fairly confident it already has. Dead Christian is the same thing as Dead Locke. Smokey took on the guise of Christian to manipulate people into doing what he wanted. What he wanted was Locke (the real one) to go back off the island, die, come back on the island so Smokey could then manipulate someone into killing Jacob. And it worked. So far. It's lost, who knows where it's headed but I sincerely doubt it's headed to a place where smokey wins.
In certain instances yes it does seem that they are the same entity, especially on-island. And it very well might be. However it does not explain all the other appearances of a ghost-like Christian to Jack off-island (in the hospital lobby) nor his appearance to Michael on the freighter. These definitely seem like something else. Especially when we learned in the last episode that Dead Locke (at least in smoke form) cannot travel over bodies of water.
They will definitely need to address this (at the very least the appearance of these 'ghosts' or 'apparitions' needs to be explained) and I think they will, especially when they've shown us one of them this final season (the boy that startled Dead Locke with the bleeding hands). They cannot just leave this without an answer.
^Actually, I wonder if it's not about getting off the Island for MIB. He said to Jacob in Richard's episode that he wants to kill Jacob and all the people who can take over for him. We also can assume that MIB can't kill Jacob or any of the candidates directly, from what he's said to Jacob and what the boy said to MIB a few episode back (about how he can't kill him, Sawyer, as it's against the rules).
Well, maybe the only thing binding MIB to the rules is being on the Island. If he gets off the Island with all the candidates, as he said he plans to do in the last episode, then he can kill all of them right there.
MIB's won't be free by simply leaving the Island. He'll be free when he kills the candidates. He just needs to leave the Island to do it.

Maybe Smokie is "tied" to the Island. Like a dog on a leash. He might be able to move about, maybe even get off island, if that was really him as Christian back in LA. It might be a really long leash, but still a leash. Only by finding away to kill jacob and the other candidates can he break the leash that ties him to the island and fully escape.
Nope, imo, definitely not the same entity. Dead Alex Rouseau was the smoke monster. Dead Yemi (Eko's brother) was the smoke monster, & when Eko spoke to him as if he was Yemi, he admitted he wasn't. Dead Christian has openly called Jack his son, more than once (Though once was in a webisode)
This plus instances of Christian being off island, & also Claire referring to them as different entities, has me almost certain they are not the same
I really like that theory. It's quite logical, given what we've seen with time phenomenon & it only occurring once
I can buy that the off island instances of Christian are not Smokey because he can't leave the island. I can also buy that it's possible that some of the instances of Christian that we've seen on island are possibly not Smokey, but I can't see how it's possible that the Christian that was in the Cabin with Claire who told Locke to move the island and the Christian who told Locke he'd have to die aren't Smokey.
Those are exactly what Smokey needed to have happen in order to manipulate Locke into becoming exactly what he needed in order to kill Jacob. I just can't think of any other explanation for Christian's actions in telling Locke he'd have to move the island and die other than Smokey was setting things up for himself.
