In interviews, this was hinted at being attributed to Jacob's death. Since it hasn't really come up again, I'd say it's a fair bet that Jacob being alive allowed Smokey some more freedom regarding his mobility around the Island's space-time bubble. Once Jacob was dead, Smokey actually became more confined - stuck in Locke's body, unable to cross water, etc. Now that Jack is the new Jacob, it stands to reason he'd be able to cross water again - but whether we'll actually see that discussed/happen in the finale, I doubt it.
Another explanation often offered is that his smoke form can't cross water. And considering Flocke just crossed from Hydra Island and left Claire there, I'd say this is also plausible.

I think it's odd that we've never actually seen MiB transform into the Smoke Monster, or vice versa. It's always a matter of the Monster disappearing, and then MiB shows up from around a corner somewhere.
I wonder if it's possible MiB was lying about being the Smoke Monster, and it's simply something he controls.

I think they just didn't want to deal with the special effects that would be attributed to that. Materializing Terry into and out of smoke form would be pretty challenging on a TV budget. Or they might be saving that FX for the finale, which I could see them doing.

My brother was just watching Man of Science, Man of Faith and reminded me of this quote. HURLEY: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. 4, 8, we're dead, 15, doomed and dead, 16, 23 *interrupted by Kate, the stupid idiot*
4 - John 8 - Hurley 15 - Sawyer
Well, John's dead so I guess that bit is true. And he says "we're dead" so I'm expecting Hurley to bite it. I spoilered it incase people don't wanna know any death theories.

(In case anyone's in total lockdown of spoilers, I put this in tags. It's not terribly spoilery though - just a couple hints at episodes you might wanna revisit before the finale.) At the Times Talk Live event, Darlton commented that the flashback scene in Man of Science, Man of Faith with Desmond saying "You have to lift it up" to Jack may have been a hint of something... and also, the "why do you find it so hard to believe" conversation at the end of Orientation will pay off beautifully, or so I've heard. Maybe that's just hinting at some kind of Jack/Locke final confrontation or something, I dunno.

I'm waking up at 5am, an hour earlier than usual, so I have enough time to get ready for work etc, and then I'm going to sit down and watch it. I really hope I can get it and watch it in time. It's runtime is just 1 hour 20 minutes without breaks, right?

What They Died For.
I was so surprised by all the appearances that past characters made. I always love flash-sideway scenes between Ben and Alex. I was shocked to see Danielle in the flash-sideway. I thought that Mira Furlan said that she wouldn't reprise her role as Danielle Rousseau for Lost's fifth season. I was so glad that Zoe was killed off, she was so annoying. As for Widmore's death, I'm glad that Ben was the one to do it but I wish it was a little more... epic? Its a shame Ben is turning to the dark side again, hopefully he's planning on double-crossing Flocke in the end. I wonder what Desmond meant when he said Ana Lucia wasn't ready yet. Hm. So, Jack is the new Jacob? I can't say I never saw that coming. I'm glad that the question as to why Kate's name in Jacob's cave was answered but I felt the answer to it was a little... cheap. You know? If Kate was crossed off because she was a mother, why weren't the Kwon's crossed off as well? I can't wait for the finale tonight. Its gonna be pretty bad-ass.

Absolutely brilliant finale. Sure, I'm left with tons of questions that I'm sure will be slightly annoying, but character wise... I couldn't be happier. What a journey. What an ending. There's too much to discuss and pick apart. This will never be forgotten.

That finale was so good! I don't think it could be done any better. Right now I'm in tears for two reasons 1) just the way it ended and 2) because it has ended.
How perfect was it that we saw Jack for that last time the same we saw him the first time just reversed. I mean it went all the way down to Vincent being there, which by the way does he get to be with all of them in that church aka afterlife.

I need time to process all of that.
But I couldn't have possibly asked for a better ending. I cried maybe 6 or 7 times, very openly. I lost it the hardest at the end and when Charlie and Claire have their moment after Aaron is born. And when I saw that last shot, I remembered the very first - Jack laying in the bamboo, and Vincent just dashes past him. This time, he lays with Jack as he dies. That's... that's the show. Right there. That image.
I'm a complete wreck right now, heh. Need to pull myself together!

Yeah, I teared up during every reunion and Locke's awakening. The last 10 minutes was pretty much sobbing. Just so beautiful. Can't believe that actually happened.

I'm still sobbing. I don't quite understand it all and will have to watch it again, but it hit me hard.
