. How many people went WTF was that and where did it come from? Answered! Finally!

Ummm, could you tell me the answer then? (I know I mentioned this in my post before, but I wrote that before you posted). Because as far as I can tell, before the episode we knew, "The donkey wheel turns, does something that involves a bright light, and someone gets off the island." After the episode we know, "The donkey wheel turns, does something that involves a bright light, and someone gets off the island."

The answer for where the smoke monster came from? Island magic! Why are some people immortal? Island magic! Why is it impossible for smokey to kill Jacob? Because mom said so! Nothing (other than Adam and Eve) was an answer, we're still left with the exact same questions.

It was built not by Ben/Dharma/Others but by 'brother'. Instead of asking why Dharma was building it, we found out that the OP (original people) built it.

We don't know that the light is island magic, nor do we know that is why they are immortal. Not!CJ was immortal, passed the torch to Jacob who is immortal. I'm starting to think Desmond had the torch passed to him too.

When the button was no longer pushed and the sky turned purple we learned it was due to the EM activity. The EM activity is related to the light, somehow.
----
When we saw Dharmaville the day 815 crashed there were snippets online of Smoky being up by the plane. Was he bringing it down or trying to tag along for the ride? (ya, I know. A question I just thought of).
----
I'm choosing to be optimistic about the rest of this show. Do I think was the best episode ever? No. But I loved it and felt that I gained knowledge to the island, Jacob and brother.

I refuse to think I wasted 6 years of my life for no answers. They have to wrap it up and explain where they are, what the island is. I just hope they wrap it up without leaving it open for a movie.
