So what is everyone else's specualtion on the Jacob vs. Faux Locke bit? I guess we know why Jacob interacted with the younger Losties as to prepare them for their final destiny. He knew he needed them on his team and that is what he means by stating "they're coming". I still don't understand the whole loophole thing he was referring to and where does this leave Jacks' dad and Claire?

I feel I have to give this an incomplete because I see a bunch of ways for them to screw this last season up and relatively few ways for them to deal with it in a satisfying way. They can't just hit the reset, but they can't make it as simple as some flash in time and nothing happened. Effectively explaining what we saw is going to be a challenge, and I hope they're up for it.

So did this guy just spend the next several hundred years sitting around waiting for a body/identity to use to have someone else do his dirty deed?

The two guys at the beginning are Jacob and his enemy. (I missed the guys name) They are the original power struggle on the island. The enemy has been using dead people to further his goal against Jacob all along. Locke was nothing more than a pawn, and is dead now. This guy controlled the smoke monster, and made Ben follow faux Locke to kill Jacob.
BTW: Who wants to bet that Jacob saved Sarah for Jack when she was paralized in the hospital?

Did anybody else notice that Jacob touched all of our losties in the flashbacks except for Hurley? Am I wrong?

But WHAT *IS* the loophole? That's the question. What makes Ben the loophole? The fact that somebody who isn't the leader got to come in? The fact that it was Ben? What about Ben? Does this signal that Ben is like Desmond in that he is one of the few people who seems to have some degree of "free will"?

He said he didn't understand it-- and clearly he shouldn't.

Who now is the "candidate" to replace Jacob? Jack?
And I don't like the apparent loss of John Locke as a character, but I guess I have to wait eight months.
Overall, a so-so finale. It was way too transparent.

I thought perhaps this other guy at the beginning who wanted to kill Jacob was smokey. Smokey as Alex told Ben to follow Locke. Locke perhaps is a form of smokey and told Ben to kill Jacob. Maybe there's other stuff that backs this up as well.
I would assume Juliet could even flash, if that is what they really did at the end.

well that wasnt the final epsiode of the series, theres one more season.
that sucks about Juliet, liked her character, hopefully it wont be the last we see her, Great twist with Lock, it sucked seeing it end like that and then seeing 2010. thats a long wait to find out what happened. Good episode, though not great. the twist with Lockes body though was freaking awesome.

But what was special about now? Is it that Richard was so easily duped but somehow wasn't that stupid before? Is it something about Ben in particular? It's a real puzzler in my book.

It makes you wonder now if the Jacob in the cabin was the real one or an apparition created by the enemy to breed a hate of him in Ben. It makes sense now that Locke was able to see him and actually helped him in an indirect way. What wouldn't make sense is for that to have been the real Jacob in the cabin surrounded by the black powder while simultaneously living free in the foot of the statue. And who the hell are the other passengers from the Ajira flight?
