Your posts made me and Beau laugh.

One of my friends just asked if Sid and Marty Krofft wrote this episode. I almost wrote "epidose," which seems just as accurate.

Well, that was a long way to go for the Adam and Eve reveal, but it did fill a few blanks in wrt Island mythology.

My dishes, they be clean. Adam and Eve what?
I feel kinda bad that I bailed before the hunky hunky men took over the episode, but the glowing cave of faerie dust and magic did me quite in.
For all those who hated the Richard ep, I'm so sorry I liked it.

I think I liked it. I don't get it, but I like it.
Except the whole no name business, which is just tiresome.

Our wings are not tired.
Juliebird, your commentary sounds like my friend watching last night until we could no longer make sounds and just rolled eyes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I did not like last night's episode, but I am wondering one thing:
what are we supposed to believe about the smoke monster?
a) that Jacob created him?
b) that the monster was already there, but that Jacob's brother's "soul" was absorbed in him?
My guess is "b" because Jacob's dead mother appeared to him, and I assume that was the smoke monster. But maybe the brother is just Hurley.
Clearly Jacob's role is to lay violence to any visitors who get too close to the light, so I guess that partially explains the animosity between Dharma and the Others.
Did Jacob's adoptive mother have super strength and super powers? How did she raze a small village and fill in the underground cave and move the brother's body all before nightfall?

So I guess, as has been speculated, the little boy Smokey's been seeing is Jacob (or a vision/hallucination of same).
And, thank the lord, it looks like the island isn't purgatory. That would have been more eye-roll-y.
Also, I'm thankful the light from the cave wasn't red, or I'd be expecting Clifford the Big Red Ball to turn up at the bottom.
Mostly, the only thing that really bugged was witholding a name for Smokey. As -t said, very tiresome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yep. Fate worse than death.

Maybe she was Smokey before. Hence how she knew about the fate worse than death.
