I agree there are a lot of mysteries that were presented and then never solved. It is this way and cannot bechanged. All we can do is offer opinions to each other that hopefully make sense. It's a lot like great classic literature. It is debated and questioned and that is part of what makes it so great and frustrating at the same time.
As for the questions above they are valid. I can take a stab at what was my biggest question--Eloise. How did she know so much??? Well, from what I have been able to piece together is that she has been dead and in the sideways timeline for quite awhile (with Daniel). She is enlightened like Desmond so knows both worlds.
I figured that the words were not important, just the belief in the transition of powerI guess I am left confused by exactly what power the protectors have? Jacob seemed not to age, just like Richard. Beyond that, he could be killed, didn't seem to have any special knowledge other than his personal experience, and could only not be killed by MiB because of something Mother did specifically for him and MiB, not something she did in a general sense for all island protectors. Jack could be killed, didn't seem to have any special knowledge, just intuition and what Jacob told him. Jack could be killed.
Not my question, so go easy on me (because I'm in the "it doesn't matter" camp). My husband is endlessly irritated that once we were shown the heart of the island, we saw a bunch of tunnels leading to the pool. He wants to know - who created that "heart of the island" chamber, with the stone tunnels and carved plug and everything? And who created the island in the first place?As far as I can tell, that is something we simply weren't shown / told in the show. Maybe it was meant to be implied that the people MiB was hanging out with were the ones who built all that. But I think folks find flaws in that idea because those guys seemed to be Roman (Claudia spoke Latin I think) whereas everything seemed to have an Egyptian element to it - i.e. The Lighthouse = The Lighthouse at Alexandria, the huge statue of the Egyptian god, etc.
Like I said - not my question, but if you can come up with some semblance of an answer, I can at least tell him to STFU.
Actually, I thought up until now the most poignant utterance of that line had come from Jack right before he and the rest of the O6 launched the raft from Not-Penny's boat.Ditto. I really like how they did the twist on the "see you in another life, brotha." As much as I wanted to hear it from Desmond, it was cool how they did it with Jack.
Yeah, that was really great -- I didn't see that coming at all. I thought for sure it would be Desmond saying it.
Edit: or maybe get a cat or dog?And name it Vincent
