the whole theme of “white vs. black” keeps recurring throughout all the seasons, so it is pretty obv that the ending will be based on this idea.

well first of all, did anyone else notice when miles was listening to juliet's grave and tried to figure out what juliet's last word was, there was the same clicking sound as when every time smokey appears? and also in an interview with the producer of LOST, he revealed that the reason behind Miles and Hurley's differences in psychic powers will be revealed at the end, so I think Miles will eventually end up on smokey's side, hence acting as its medium (like Hurley did for Jacob).

think of it as a chess game, so the main opponents will be:

Sawyer vs. Jack (cuz well, Jack killed Juliet, pretty obv…)

Claire vs. Kate (come on, you know there must be a BETTER reason for Claire to suddenly go all mental)

Sayid vs Ben (so THAT'S WHY Sayid worked as an assassin for Ben before, so that he would hate Ben even more when he realized that he was manipulated by him all this time. we all know there must be a reason why Sayid worked for Ben when he should be one of the most sensible and smart characters in LOST–> and also the second hint is that Syid DID try to kill Ben once before, so why not again?)

Sun vs. Jin (i know i know, of cuz they arent gonna duke it out. but does anyone else think its KINDA WEIRD how Sun ended up hanging out with Locke and has STILL not encountered Jin even though they are on the same damn island?? but of cuz as Jacob hinted before, their great love is special and is prob what ends the war at the end because they refuse to fight each other–> kinda abrupt for this one, but i just hope the ending wont be some lame “in the name of love, let's make peace” thing, cuz if that happened, i will shoot the producers)

Richard vs Ilana (well Richard suddenly went all anti-Jacob when he tried to blow himself up, so he will prob join Locke eventually, and given that he and Ilana seemed to be there for a long long time and acted as kinda like a “loyal servant”, so ya, would be lovely to see eyeliner vs big lips)

at last of cuz, Jacob vs Smokey. so Jacob is dead, and apparently he cant touch Smokey anyway even if he was alive, so now what? well let's not forget Whitmore don't worry, he will do the dirty deed for Jacob already.
