Definitely a packed episode......Lot's to digest! I didn't erase it off my DVR today after watching it, so I can go back if need be. Sooooo......Who's the other guy at the beginning with Jacob, why's he hate Jacob so much, & how did he come back as John???? 'Nother stream of thoughts that occured to me while brainstorming......If Jacob is in the "foot temple"......What's the other one where the smoke monster "lives"? Does that mean that other guy is the "smoke monster"? Are there 2 opposing temples/leaders/spirits on the island? So when the smoke monster took the form of Alex & told Ben to do whatever John told him to, was that really the guy who wants to kill Jacob taking her form? And finally......How come we never see the polar bear(s) anymore?!? Sucks that next year is it.......This is about the only show I watch regularly anymore, and the kids are equally engrossed in it, so it's our "dad & me" time
