I guess I'll be the guy to say that I loved that episode. Fleshed out the mythology very nicely, you could tell it was an episode they had planned since day one. I think everyone's expectations for this show were too high, there's still plenty of time to answer some of the remaining big questions, but I don't expect everything to tie up nicely, Lost is too gritty to let that happen. I also liked the finales of seinfeild and the sopranos, everyone wants these characters to hold hands and walk off into the sunset, but that strongly contradicts what the characters and the shows were all about.
I think the mother possessed both the qualities of Jacob and MiB. She thought MiB was suited to watch the island, because he inherited her mystical gifts and will. Jacob ended up being the right guy because he inherited her sense of duty and faith. The light was pretty much what I expected it to be, the island clearly possessed mystical energy and that's pretty much what it was.
The only answer I want now is, what is Jacobs game and how does it end? Besides once, I know it only ends once, everything else is just progress.
