I was wondering that myself this morning. I wonder if his life has gone a completely different path and he's like this happy-go-lucky insurance salesman or something.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
problem is, he was on the island when it 'sploded. So maybe there is no AU for him.

I keep forgetting about the 'splodey Island.

question: is it possible that Jacob is a smoke monster also?

You think there's more than one? That would be something.

I'm wondering. It seems like if Jacob's Other has been the smoke monster this whole time, I'm not sure he has been always killing people in his own interest. Maybe he has, and therefore my speculation can be soundly rejected.

I don't understand why the smoke monster killed the pilot in the first episode.

Who's Smokey killed? I can only remember Eko. Who was getting more in touch with the Island and therefore...Jacob? And he killed the people trying to get into Jacob's temple. Now that I think about it, I think that up until now, the actions of Smokey have appeared to be Jacob defending himself or protecting the Island, when in fact it's been the Man in Black taking out anyone who might help Jacob. Someone needs to do an analysis. Come on, Internet. Wait, Jeff Jensen probably has the answers...
The temptation will be to dismiss the sideways story as ''What if...?'' trivia, but we should trust that we're being shown this story for a reason, and so we should take the leap of investing in its reality.
WHEW. I mean, I trust Cuse and Lindelof by this point, but I was still worried. (That's a general idea taken from a Q&A that I'm not reading because I'm trying to know as little as possible about this season.)
I can't imagine anyone who stopped watching after season 1 or 2 coming back to the series with this episode and not thinking, ''Temples? Magic springs? Circles of ash that keep smokey demons at bay? What the hell happened to this show?!'' (Answer: It got even more awesomer! Now go away, drop-out, this party ain't for you.)
Hee! Oh, Jeff Jensen.
Darn, he did not analyze the Smokey reveal enough.
I don't understand why the smoke monster killed the pilot in the first episode.
Because it was hungry? Well, really, it's because they didn't know what it was at the time. But let's say that the Man in Black was mad that the pilot had brought more stupid people to the Island.

My speculation is that all of the dead characters on the island have always been animated by Jacob's nemesis. Included Dead Jacob. He had the castaways take Sayid to the temple, knowing that with Jacob's death that the healing waters would no longer work, and he has now taken over Sayid's body to complete overrun their defenses.
