LOST: The origin of the Smoke Monster [6x15-Across the Sea]

[jsn0130]

It's probably been brought up already (maybe in another video) but if you keep clicking play and pause repeatedly, at about :16 you can see a clear shot of Jacob wearing Nike's or something. Really funny considering the time period of this scene in the show.

[allnamesaretakenful]

If this was Supernatural that would be The Horseman War and Lucifer.

[jmj540]

Seems legit.

[Johnnymushio]

The most surreal episode of LOST, this and the finale. Still can't believe this is over and I have watched this all.

[firebaby7]

so.... this was all jacob's fault, eh?

[NightGrim23]

And light created darkness....

[CrowSword]

@NightGrim23 Darkness is the absence of light... if you think about it that perfectly describes Jacob guarding the island from the MIB, because when Jacob died it represented the light going out and letting darkness take over

[zaandarbrow]

LOST 1600 - 2010 lol

[HorizontalShuffle]

''You be mutch worst then dieing jacob. mutch worst. human corps falls into light. light trigers the corpses soul and locks it inside of ceberus (smoke monster) to Protect the iland. Ceberus = dead sould who enetred the light (as u can see skeletons in the end of that light waterfall in end of lost episoed) So Smoke monster is a ceberus consisting of dead souls who enetred the light makeing ceberus ordevil protect the iland but ceberus (mib ) wants to leave island (mib seem to hate his job

[egdqv13234]

@egdqv13234 so as you can see its not only mib who wants to leave the iland, its ALL of dead souls who enetred the light who want to leave the iland after all these years surving as a cebrus (guard dog aka smoke monster) and the light consist of people who died, and who lives ''water channels light for human life''

[Kintha]

I love the guy who plays Jacob, he always seems to play the somewhat insane characters, Jacob and Lucifer for example (Well Lucifer WAS insane but whatever) I really liked MIB the best.

[Johnnymushio]

I loved Across the Sea.

[Eldritchfan]

nice job breaking it hero

[verdigris1]

jacob-whoops, my bad

[CosmicUndeadElf]

According to the writers, at this point in time there was no stone cork, there was a beam of light from the source that stopped the water draining down the hole, but ever since this event the light was "damned". So I'm guessing when Jacob's brother fell down into that cave he corrupted the light and his spirit absorbed the energy of the island before it was cast out.

[XboxPs3PCHackingTuts]

@CosmicUndeadElf Wow I never knew that how did you find this out ? directors commentary ?

[CosmicUndeadElf]

@XboxPs3PCHackingTuts Yep, the commentary for this episode. You can read it on Lostpedia

[CosmicUndeadElf]

Just type "heart" into their search thing

[XboxPs3PCHackingTuts]

@CosmicUndeadElf Wow I never knew that and im a reall lostie ! thats pretty cool thank mate

[Victo160]

my theory is that, this is before that plug was there and the pool which desmond went too, so it was just the light, and when MIB entered it he "corrupted" it and the light spit his body out, but his soul was bonded to the light and created the smoke monster. So thats why he's bound to the island, because he's connected to it. So after MIB become smokey, people came and traveled down into the light manipulated it, wit hthe tunnels and stuff, and also plugged it in an effort to stop the MIB.

[TheResidentSociopath]

Wait... Does MiB call Jacob "Abel" at 0:00? "Don't! Abel, don't do this!"

[ltkirby1989]

Little known fact...the guy who plays the MIB actually stubbed his toe on a rock whilst doing this scene. Can't remember if he just broke his nail or an actual bone in the toe but Im pretty sure he broke a bone....

[DrunkLad91]

wouldnt want jacob as a brother lol

[RedheadDane]

One sibling fight gone a little TOO FAR!

[oromedonte]

oops jacob, in hindsight- you wouldn't have done that

[Jojoseahorse]

Reminds me of Basil Fawlty dragging Manuel around! Ditto when Jacob drags Richard down to the water and dunks him in :)

[janeway3000]

so now i know how it began but who is the smoke monster or who is that guy by jacob please reply

[perfection2k7]

MIB stands for men in black :D

[DrDareable]

jacob is an ass for doin tht to his brother

[florabellaa]
