Eaten by the (smoke) Monster of Love
is, perhaps as an appropriate ‘theme’ song title as the Beatles’ “All you need is Love”
After all, Widmore tells Jin: “everyone we know and love would cease to be” (which isn’t exactly true if Sidewaysville is the result – for there, Penny lives.)
Consider the lyrics: “It’s worse than war, it’s worse than death. There aren’t too many left who ain’t been Eaten by the Monster of Love” – Sparks (“Angst in My Pants” and “Valley Girl”)
If so, Smocke could be ‘The Monster of Love”, and perhaps Helen (which means ‘light’) is what defeats MIB. She IS after all “the face that launched a thousand ships”
(Aside: Of course, we could stretch the tie-in theme songs since “All you Need” starts w/the French National Anthem and Paris loved Helen … to which Homer says ‘Doh’).
