This is my first ever blog so be easy on me guys.
After watching the season finale of Season 5 and letting it ratlle around in my head for a week or two I come to the realization that the batlle for the Island has been very onesided since the crash of 815.
I've rewatched season and noticed that the smoke monster made his apperance know to all from the day 3 on the island. Just to make myself clear, Im not talking about the "Pilot" or even the mobisodes (with Vincent and "Christian"). I'm refering to the "Walkabout" episode. In chasing after the mother boar, Kate tries to carry Micheal back to the beach and spots an opportunity to put up an gadget Sahid put together to triangulate the distress signal. She climbe the tree and almost drops a load in her jeans when she hears the roars of the smoke monster, and sees thats its heading towards Locke. Locke stares in what looks like fear on his face. At the end of this episode we have Jack and Rose talking when Jack sees a man in a suit and sneakers. Jack chases after him and what do you know here comes Locke dragging 250 lbs of the other white meat behind him. I'll be the first to admit that I never looked at this episode as anything but "wow he was paralyzed?!?!?!" but I think ! we should have all asked the question what did Locke see and what did he do?
The "white rabbit" began to make me more peculiar about what we saw. Jack has yet to accept his destiny/fate as the leader of these castaways, and working on very little sleep. He sees that man in the suit and sneakers again and starts chasing after him. Jack runs himself off a cliff and who saves him? Locke and his "what if" discussion with Jack. We then have the discovery of the caves and Christian's empty coffin, and of course "Live together, die alone speech." This episode snapped everything in one big ah hah! momement.
Now I go back to the conversation between Jacob and the man in black. The whole "loophole"goes all the wa back to th landing of 815, and how He was trying methodically get rid of Jack, Hurley,Mr Echo, and recruit Ben Linus and Claire Littleton.
Bear with me on this but with the S6 finale we noticed that Jacob did not hide himself from any of the people he encountered. Its just they ( with exception of Illana) had no idea who he was. From what I get about Jacob is that he allows you to make your own decision. Smoke on the other hand uses deception.
Lets go back to "white rabbit" as all remember the alice in wonderland, Alice chases rabbit down and falls in to a hole. Well Jack damn near killed himself by chasing what he thought was his father off a cliff. This became a theme of sorts. Season 2 brought us the "Dave" the Hurleycentric episode where Hurley almost jumps off a cliff. I cant remember the name of the final Mr.Echo episode in Season 3. The qoute by Yemi has never left my skull. "What makes you think Im your brother?" Then "the man behind the curtain". We saw a young Ben thinking that he saw his mother. Finally, Claire sees her Dad and runs off.
With all this said take a step back and watch the chess moves that Smoke has put together.I have this theory that Smoke took the image of any the people that were important to those he deemed to kill or recruit. To further prove my point look at the times in which Christian popped up in season4. Recruiting Claire and going to Jacobs( really Horaces')cabin. Telling Locke that he has to move the Island. Which brings up the fact that Christian says he speaks for Jacob ( I could be wrong forgive me). The middle of season 5 when Locke falls down the well and you know who is there talking about "since when did listening to Ben ever got you anywhere". Finally when Sun, Frank Lapidus, Ben, and Locke went back to the main island, there was Christian again telling Sun and Frank that if you want to see your friends agian, you need to follow John Locke. Guys just look at the eveidence its all there Ben is told to follow Locke by the Smoke version of Alex.
Smoke does not take the image of any living being that is close to the people he wants to affect. Yemi, Dave(Hurley cast him out of his mind long ago), Ben's Mother, Alex, Libby ( Micheal-centric), & AnaLucia(Hurley).
Hopefully this give a fresh view of what we saw.
