This theory is 100% awesome, right?

If every comment I made was “Great thoughts, I really like this theory, and I think it’s a possibility.”….. Metaldude, I’d be hated more than I am now. There’s nothing more obnoxious than seeing someone post a comment on your theory, and you know damn well they’re being nice in a very fake way.

I never try offending anyone unless they strike first. When I asked if you’re a Lost writer, you should have considered that a compliment, as I was just really impressed with your spelling and grammar. K, I’m an ass.

Again though, poking holes is how people learn WHY their theory isn’t 100% awesome. I call it constructive criticism. I really can’t recall the last time I made fun of someone because of a theory though. Aside from Wharfrat, ’cause he’s a pure douche.

Highbrow, if you even care, sorry for this argument in your thread. I can’t resist sometimes as I’m sure you’re aware by now.

You suggest that perhaps I have been reading all your posts when in fact I haven’t but I have read enough to know that you’ve also poked holes in other people’s speculations. So when you chose to hide behind that after you were called out was just blatant hypocrisy and I had to call you out on that too.

Highbrow, I think you are bang on with the whole light and dark thing. It’s been the whole theme of the show since the beginning so why stop now?

But when I see a bi-polar disorder of that magnitude (smiling followed by murder), I become afraid of that person and automatically refer to them as twisted, and of an evil nature.

I’ll admit, I’m thinking too “Lostish” about all this. It’s something that’ll never get answered, and it’s really kind of pointless (I’m well aware). The thing that keeps us thinking about her intentions though is just how unclear they were. Sure, she probably just wanted to pass on the torch. But she did it in a very twisted fashion since Jacob’s birth. I guess that’s just evidence of good writing.

However.

I think her intention was for the light and dark sides to be represented on the island by these brothers. She intended for them to preserve the balance and protect the island together. Creation and destruction, life and death, good and evil. Each is necessary for the other to exist.

The mother was balanced and I think that is what makes her such an enigma to us. Is she the light or the dark? Where’s her other half? She doesn’t have one, she’s both. The roles were split when the boys came to the island. Now they need replacing. Jack has replaced Jacob and I believe that Ben will replace his brother. After last night’s episode I believe that Ben understands the importance of the balance and that embracing his role as the darkness isn’t necessarily a rejection of the possibility of redemption. I think Sawyer will kill Adam and he’ll sacrifice himself in the process.

I can’t keep on topic today…
