I think it's the Autobots vs. the Deceptcons.

Naveen Andrews is on L&O: SVU right now. /le sigh

I think the Vorlons vs. Shadows (kudos for the B5 reference!) was about law vs. chaos, not good vs. evil. Thought I would love it if Jacob & MiB turn out to be as complex as those races.

So the other night, while channel flipping, I stumbled onto a man in chains speaking Spanish and being manipulated by a man who looked like Richard Hatch. I gather this was that "Lost" show.

What have I missed?

P.S. If it turned out that the island is hell, I ain't buying the boxed set.

That was my point.

My real hope is that Jacob and MIB are actually one and the same. Unfortunately there have been too many scenes with the two of them conversing alone for that to be likely, but I'm still holding out hope.

And whoever wins gets to have the teeth:D

Has the Mib been able to impersonate anyone dead on the island - including people like Jack's dad? Was it him that instructed on the donkey wheel? I don't remember the exact details of when that happened.

I've been wondering that. I figure it was him who impersonated Richard's wife. If he can impersonate anyone, why does he choose to look like Locke?

Because "Locke" was able to manipulate Ben into killing Jacob.

I think he COULD impersonate anyone, but whatever "loophole" he used to get to Jacob, the tradeoff was that now he's stuck as Locke. Didn't whatshername from the 2nd plane essentially say as much?

In my mind, all the dead people we saw on the island, maybe including the one's Hurley saw off the island, were MIB. Locke is MIB. But Isabella then could not be.
