I think you're entirely right about this. And now I think Jacob has entered Sayid, reborn (water submersion is historically the symbol of new birth). Plus, notice the way they carried Sayid out of the water, with his arms stretched out at the sides like Christ. I think they were being fairly obvious that this is a good vs. evil of the gods game.

I would just like to point out a little trivia since someone brought vampires up. Bram shares the same name as Bram Stoker, and he died by getting a stake through the heart.

Damn, I'm glad this show is back! Can't wait for my theories to be smashed to bits each week.

well he was protected for a few seconds but Smokey/faux Locke was smart and hit the wall hard making a piece of the ceiling fall on Bram knocking him outside the circle.

That's another thing, I'm not too keen on this Esau = Smoke Monster thing. What's his motivation for killing the people he did (pilot, Eko and Keamy's team, etc.)? What about just terrorizing the Losties chasing them through the jungle? What's the thinking there?
I think I liked it better when Smokey was a separate entity.

Here's a paradoxical thought. If Oceanic doesn't crash in the timeline with the island underwater then that means nothing we've previously seen actually happens in that timeline. That includes the time jumping we had in season 5. That means that Farraday doesn't get to go back in the past to warn the Others about the dangers of Jughead. It's very possible that Jughead actually goes off much earlier than 1977.

I think you can chalk up a lot of the deaths attributed to Smokey to pent up anger and frustration about not being able to come up with a way to kill Jacob over the years. Until dopey Ben showed up and he started to work the really long con.

Remember what Eloise said to Desmond, "the island is not through with you." This makes me think that he was pulled off the plane and brought to the island along with Christian and the box of knives. Kate and Claire will no doubt discuss her giving up the child which will lead to memory flashes of the island and Aaron. I can see them all getting together with Eloise and Faraday and finding another flight real soon.

Do you think that the Esau as Smokey reveal was planned by the writers from the beginning? Early on, there were various hints that Smokey may be mechanical/technological in nature rather than supernatural in nature, such as the mechanical sounds accompanying its appearances, calling it a "security system", and speculation that it was some type of DHARMA creation/experiment. I wonder if the mechanical sounds were done to divert from the now apparent supernatural origins of the creature. Or maybe they're just making it all up as they go along.
