Luke is not the most compelling character. I don't know anyone else who thinks that.
Neither do I. I think you may have mis-read me. Either way, we're now both skirting what we were discussing.

Except that doing that would have possibly made the Adam and Eve reveal anticlimactic, cause we'd have known right away that we were gonna see that this episode, and when we saw that the episode basically had 3 characters, it would take 30 seconds to guess who was Adam and Eve.
After conferring her guardian powers upon Jacob, Mother went back to camp. She found it trashed. She silently surveyed the scene and found something peculiar — MIB's Senet box. She opened it up and took out the black stone. She looked at it — and then MIB stabbed her in the back and through the chest. She fell to the ground and whispered a word: ''Nothing.'' She told her son that she couldn't let him leave because she loved him, and then she thanked him for killing her and died. Three things: 1. Notice I used the word ''silently.'' 2. Notice that Mother said ''Nothing.'' 3. Notice that MIB used the same knife to kill his mother that Dogen gave Sayid to kill MIB/Fake Locke. Remember Dogen's instructions? Sayid had to plunge the knife into The Monster's chest before The Monster said a word. Sayid failed to execute the execution before Fake Locke said, ''Hello,'' and in the aftermath, Sayid seemed to suffer from some kind of soul sleep, a state of emotional nothingness. Perhaps I'm not adding all of this up properly, but I find the link here irresistible. I go back to where I began — that there was something about the Mother/Jacob/MIB drama that cursed The Island and created a mythic template for future dramas to follow. (Unless, of course, their drama followed and reaffirmed an existing template.) Why did Sayid have to use that knife? Why did he have to do the stabbing before Fake Locke said a word? Why did he feel ''nothing'' afterward? It's not about rules. It's not about internal logic. It's about a story. And that's just the way the story goes. But can the story be changed? TBD.
Holy shit. I just realized that I'm going to be out of town on the night of the series finale. There's a 95% chance I'll be nowhere near a TV that night as well. Oh dear god. Hopefully I can figure something out, as that would TOTALLY suck to miss out on it!
Dude. I'd cancel my plans. I don't care what they were, I wouldn't be doing them.
eta - oh wow, I just googled, that's the long weekend here! I bet a lot of people are going to be in the same boat.
The stones from the game at the beginning didn't make me think of Adam and Eve. Honestly, I'd forgotten that the stones were connected with them. For me, it brought to mind the whole Locke and Walt backgammon thing, and Jacob and MIB as adults with the stones. Like Thora, Adam and Eve didn't even occur to me till the mother died. Showing it on the previouslies definitely would have ruined it for me.

Help me remember who has seen the the young versions of Jacob/MIB
Sawyer is the only one I can think of but I think there are others.
It's really interesting how the show is so different for each type of viewer. There are the casual fans who only watch week to week and then there are the totally rabid fans who could probably tell you how many times Ben blinked during any given episode. I would fall somewhere in between. Sometimes I forget that not everyone remembers a lot of the smaller details.

I'm incredibly pleased that so many people far and wide are so incredibly angry about that interview. Some good questions and some rarer good answers, too, but like what douche bags they perhaps unintentionally sound. Somewhat concerned that they are so vehemently pre-apologizing for the finale, but I remain hopeful. All this could still work. Maybe.
Who are all these people you're talking about? Are you in some whiner support group?
