Aaaaah, right, thank you!

Since Gemini Cricket doesn't watch the show, there's no one west of Pacific Time that's watching, once it's aired in Pacific Time spoilers are fair game.

Especially since MIB-as-Locke didn't exist for most of the 3 years she said she spent with "her friend".

But she made a distinction between her father and her "friend" and that she lived with both of them. She then specifically referred to NotLocke as her "friend" (i.e. not her father).

Duh. 108= sum of the "candidate" numbers.

But still, WTF is Wallace?

She said "her father"? I missed that. When Jin first asked her if she'd been alone, she said, "No, I was with my friend". Then when somked lox arrived she said, "This is my friend". I never heard "father".

Two different sentences - one was that her "father" told her who took Aaron. The other was she was "with my friend".

It is possible that Christian was MIB when they all left. For all we know, if Smoky wasn't stuck in Locke form now (done for a purpose obviously) he'd still shapeshift into Christian. But Smoky is stuck in Lockeform from now until they tell us otherwise - which I don't think will happen since IIlana (that's her name!) said he can't change anymore.

Yeah, other resources confirmed, I just missed the line. That does open the possibility that Christian isn't MIB, if she makes a distinction between NotLocke and her "father". Or it may just mean she's confused, or purposely misled.

For those who were still on the fence* about FLocke being the Smoke Monster, we now have 100% confirmation from multiple sources. Last night's enhanced version of "Substitute" confirmed that FLocke is the Smoke Monster. In addition, Darlton unequivocally stated the same thing on the most recent Lost Podcast.

Actually, Ben admitted to never having seen Jacob. So perhaps he never interacted with either Jacob or MIB and just lied the whole time. Though he certainly could have spoken with one of them, thinking it was Jacob, without actually having seen them.

I saw the actor who plays Ben on The Soup the other day. He's pretty funny!
