Love the show. Ending was good. Can’t say they fucked it up.
Spoiler Alert
How is it that Jack went down the cave hole and didn’t come out a Smoke Monster like “Locke”. Silly writers[/quote]
Probably because the stone plug thing was out when Jack went down, preventing the electromagnetic energy from killing him (at least initially). And because MIB was evil and Jack was good.[/quote]

err, nope.
At the time of the “across the sea” episode, they probably had no clue how the inner cave looked like.
And: It would have been impossible for the black dude to do more then fall into the cave and rot there.
Also, how is the young black guy evil again?
Right, he isn’t, AT ALL.
I don’t know which gods of murder you worship, but the only things done on the island prior to the transformation one should consider evil (you know, killing a woman, stealing and lying to the children, killing a whole village) were done by the psycho bitch with mysterious superpowers.
Since we have NO evidence at all that she’s not batshit crazy, we can pretty much disregard what she said about “protecting the light”.
So after the guy fell into the cave, beaten half-dead by his brother, being robbed of his humanity by the witch’s heir, her brainwashed, adopted son, I cannot see why he shouldn’t be pissed.
Later on, all he cares for is getting of the island.
Why he kills some people (for instance the group in the sub) is not explained, but it is implied he has a reason. Of course the authors wouldn’t tell us. And if it’s all a pseudo-afterlife, I’m not even sure if killing people would be inherintly wrong.
So no, just someone repeating “he’s evil, and he’s good” is not valid, moralic reasoning.
And I know, he’s clad in black. Still doesn’t matter.

Exactly! I agree. Prior to Jacob beating the shit out of him and throwing him down the cave, the only “bad” thing he’d done was killed a genopsycho bitch. Good for him.
And this is the reason that his anti-climactic death bothered me. Ben gets a redemption, yet the man in black doesn’t? He was imprisoned for a good 2000 years by his brother’s rules. He just wanted out. It is all he ever wanted.
If we were in the same situation - stuck on a rock for two millenia with nothing to do - and we weren’t allowed to go home, we’d kill a few people to do it, I’m sure.
