I'm interested in this: why can't Jacob and his enemy kill each other directly? In other words, who or what is imposing/enforcing this rule? Why couldn't Jacob's enemy simply haved picked up a large rock and bashed Jacob's head with it during the opening scene of the season finale? I hope this gets explained in the final season (i.e., instead of just telling us they can't, I want to know *why* they can't). Because if these two guys really are the reason behind all the events we have seen, this question deserves an answer.
Christian confuses me, though...if he isn't really Christian, but a body-snatcher replacement, then why does he still care about his children and blurt out things like, "Say hello to my son"?

Since he probably has Christian's memories, he is using them to manipulate people close to Christian to further whatever agenda he has.

Spoiler:
I know that theory is as hated as purgatory(I'm no fan of any of them myself) but everything could be explained by science in all those scenarios.

It's lame but the 'dream' and or 'it's all happening in someone's head' angles could easily explain everything. Maybe it's like the movie Identity where

Doing this after 6 seasons, 100+ episodes, and 4 DVD season box-sets is more of a big "screw you" to the loyal viewers

It's easy to write off the whole past of the show with something as game changing as the rivalry of superpowers going on that was never suspected. However, the show's characters clearly are important to Jacob. We were carefully shown that he visited them one by one, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Jack, Sayid, Hurley, etc. Jacob has/had a purpose in mind for them and what we have seen over the last 5 seasons is his plan playing out. JJ Abrahms is all about mystery and that's what I love about it. It doesn't matter to me if this is all planned out or not, once it's complete that will be the story. So I don't judge the show by whether episode one is completely congruent with episode one-hundred, but rather how much entertainment I get out of each episode.
I don't think George Lucas has an idea for Empire when he made Star Wars, but it doesn't change the fact that Empire still kicks major ass.

A friend of mine just caught up with the season finale and had an interesting theory that I don't know if it's been mentioned or not (I haven't gone through all the pages yet and for some reason when I try to do a search for the terms all I get is a white page) but the bomb didn't go off...it was a time jump. Which makes sense...the Losties accomplished what they went back in time for, and that was to cause the incident that leads up to their own crash, and it took everybody to get it done, which is why they had to wait three years to get to that point.

Ah, somebody else saw it too....this what I think as well. And the more I think about it, the more I think Jacob is the evil on the island. He is responsible for every bad thing that happens on it (from what we have seen, anyway) and the guy in black is the good force and the protector of the island and desperately wants to make things right again.

Quick thought...why would Jacob save Locke if he knew Locke's survival would result in his own demise?
Jacob seems to be able to predict the future or know it if he's contacting people as kids who will be instrumental figures on the island someday in the future.

It won't be. Damon Lindelof was asked in an interview a year or two ago if it was possibly something similar to multiple personalities to a single character - or if it was all in someone's head. He responded by saying he'd seen the movie Identity and "Let's just say I did not like that film." In other words, he hated that twist. As did I. So you really shouldn't worry about that one. No matter what they do it will NOT be "It was all a dream... " etc.

Then, he had Richard and the Others come to the statue. I think the loophole may be that the leader of the Others can be given access into Jacob's sanctuary, but only Richard can provide that access.

Oh, and another thing...when are we going to find out what the hell this thing is:

I don't think that that scene needs to be explained more, they needed a way for Michael to find out his gun wasn't loaded, so they used that bird. The producers said in an interview that the bird is a real bird in Hawaii and the sound it makes sounds a lot like "Hurley", so they worked it into the script for fun.

Agreed. I loved the movie twist, but for this show it would be a huge cop-out and piss off nearly everyone. However, it would kind of explain how people die off only to return later albeit, slightly different, ala Pet Sematary.
