Guesses on what we won't find out? Here's what I'm guessing will remain unanswered:
- HOW Smokey turns from smoke to people
- What Smokey's real name is
- Who was in Jacob's Cabin
- Who shot at The Bleeders in The Canoe
- Why were The Numbers important beyond the location on The Lighthouse Wheel.... Why were The (specific final Candidates') Numbers everywhere for years and years.
- Who spoke The Numbers on the recording
- Why are Walt/Aaron special- Who was (definitively) Christian at each occurrence
- How did Jacob get off the Island
- How does a Lighthouse see into people's lives
- HOW are all these things "hidden"? (I think we'll find out that the Protectors powers can hide The Island, The Cabin, The Source, The Lighthouse, etc, but we won't find out HOW that works)
- How do people's special powers work (ie: Hurley/Miles' Dead People, Walt, Desmond)
that's enough for now.. more coming later!

Yeah, I agree. But a lot of those I never really wanted/needed further info on either, so...no skin off my back!

- Also related to The Cabin and depending on who was trapped there, where did all the misinformation come from regarding Jacob's orders and Smokey being a protection system?

the cabin kind of reminds me of the huge holy tent from the exodus - where only the high priest could go into this one place in the tent to commune with God. I think the Others' leader was supposed to go in there and receive Jacob's orders and guidance - I don't know about the leaders before Ben, but i'm pretty sure Ben faked his meetings in there to not be discredited as a leader. It's pretty clear by now that Richard didn't know any more than anyone so he wouldn't know Ben was lying. I think that's all there is to the cabin really - I don't think we'll be getting more about that... but I may be wrong.

What made Ben kill Locke after saving his life in the hotel room
What was the loophole
Walt
What were Ben and Whitmore talking about in the Bedroom
Why didn't Jacob just talk to them all the moment they arrived on
the island. D'oh !!!

Ben got the information he needed from Locke. He learned about Eloise, and that was it. Locke was no longer necessary.
Jacob said he wanted people to make their own choices. He didn't want to just come in an force things on them.

IDK... maybe this is too simple but I think the loophole is that someone else can kill Jacob even though MIB couldn't.

I definitely think that's the case, or at any rate one of the rules.
It's just kinda sad if MIB couldn't trick anyone into killing Jacob in the 2000 years he had before now.... So you'd think there'd need to be more to it.

one we were promised to get an answer to - why were the Dharma food drops still coming in 2004?

We've seen this over and over since Ben killed Jacob - in "Ab Aeterno" as I said above with Richard - with Smokey not being able to directly kill any of the "Candidates" - yeah he gave Jack a backpack with a bomb in it - but there was a chance that Jack would find it and save them (a bit of a stretch to the "No direct killing" rule) - and it's why Smokey told Ben that he needed Ben to kill a few more people - i.e. The Candidates.
Jacob talking to them as soon as they got to the island would have killed the story after 1 season - if that LOL
"Hi - I'm Jacob - I invited you all here to compete to take my place and rule this island. You'll be broken up into 2 groups - Black and White - be given challenges - some that will keep you immune from being killed off - some that will bring you luxuries - but for the most part - you're on your own. See Ya (Jacob turns into a white puff of smoke and vanishes). |

The special powers of Walt, Hurley and Miles all existed off the island before they got there - tho we were never actually shown Hurley's before he got there - I personally think that the real reason he as at Santa Rosa was that he was seeing the people that were killed as a result of that deck collapse that he blamed himself for - that's just my theory - we know he could see dead people after he got back from the island - he saw Charlie. How they actually work - not a clue. Desmond's on the other hand I think came just form his being on the island and being exposed to everything there - mostly the weird electromagnetism. |

(Regarding Christian, i don't think EVERY time we've seen him that its MIB.. on The Freighter, appearing to Jack off-island, etc) Another one I don't think we'll get an answer for: Where are Rose And Bernard NOW? Still in their cabin? Did they make it back to 2007? (probably) I think the closest you'll get an answer here is if The Island timeline merges into The Sideways, and we've already seen them there. Unfortunately that kind of ruins their "retirement". But I don't think we'll see them again in the Finale. I do think we'll see Vincent though  |

I really hope they show who is in Christian Shepard's coffin-----because I have a sneaky suspicion that it WILL NOT BE him!!!!  Plus I would like to know how Jacob could leave the island in the past if mommy said it was not possible!

Is there even a coffin? 'Cause Desmond doesn't actually work for Oceanic.
