Jacob, the other guy, and Smoky
Jacob and the other guy are good vs evil archetypes. (gods or mythical creatures or just humans with special powers of some sort) They both have unique powers separate from each other. As is seen in the beginning of the finale, Jacob believes in making some sort of eutopian world on the island, where as the other guy is evil, or just lacks faith in man. Jacob is constantly bringing people onto the island in search of men that are worthy. Occasionally he finds people that are, such as Richard Alpert. When he finds someone worthy, he gives them a gift, a power.
In my opinion, that other guy, is the smoke monster and he can shapeshift and read a persons thoughts, such as was done to Mr. Echo. He used his shapeshifting to manipulate the events of the island(seen as early as season 1 pilot episode with Christian Shepard). As is obvious, smoky found the loophole that allows him to kill Jacob. When ben was made to attone for his errors in the temple, smoky came up to him as his daughter Alex. He told Ben to follow John Locke and do anything he told him. The thing is, John Locke is smoky. So Ben is following smoky's instructions. I would like to think that smoky only shifts in people that are dead, but he shifted into claire, twice, which means shes either dead or he can shift into any form.
The Loophole
My theory on the loophole is that the leader of the others (a group of men trusted by Jacob) must kill him. In essences he is betrayed by someone he trust. Now Ben killed Jacob when Ben wasn't a leader. Well I beg to differ, Ben was leader. John Locke is dead, in so dying the leadership role fell back onto Ben.
Why do you think Jacob never let Ben see him, yet he always allowed Richard. Richard couldn't kill Jacob but Ben could. Who knows, maybe Richard could kill him, but Jacob trusted him. (probably why he gave him eternal life)
The Others
Ah the others, I have said since I started watching the show that the others are not evil. Only Ben is evil. In the season finale we see that the others were just doing as Jacob had asked via his list. Even when you look back at all the previous episodes, the others never killed. Yet the survivors of Oceanic 815 were always killing the others. The others are Jacobs choosen people, but then again, maybe so were the Dharma Initiatives. Seeing as Jacob must/may have brought them to the island. (We don't know who bought Dharma) If all my other theories are wrong I don't care, this is the only one I truly want to be right on.
The Bomb at the Swan
The show makes you believe that the events of the bomb were so that the events of Oceanic 815 never happened, but it is really so that Jacob can be saved. Whether this bomb deletes thoughs events or as I believe reset time to a certain period in time. The bomb event is there to save Jacob's life. This isn't the first time he dies, there is a loop, as can be seen with Eloise and Faraday. He selected certain people so that he could looptime over and over again until the moment that he can be saved. Somehow smoky keeps winning, but luckily, time keeps getting reset and Jacob is hoping that in one of the loops he could be saved instead. What makes me believe this is the fact that in the the last 2 seconds of the show, you see an eye open. It is a blue eyed person, you know who has blue eyes? Jacob. Basically the survivors of Oceanic 815 are on the island to save Jacob. Who knows what would happen if Jacob died.

Banshee jacking a trash talker
Well I was playing Halo waiting for a match to start when in the lobby some guy called Master Honda starts talking trash and making fun of some of the names of the people in the room. The tells us he is going to own us so we ignore him but once the round starts everyone in the group quickly says we want to just target him. 30 seconds into the round he comes at me with a banshee. All I have in hand is my Battle Rifle, and I am rusty as hell because I haven't played since CoD4 came out.
Well I stay cool, keep my calm and proceed to BR him in the hopes that I might take him out before he can take me out. He flies by me, completely ignoring me, then swoops around, crashes into a wall and then targets me. He starts shooting at me, and I start weaving in the hopes that I become a harder target to kill. Right when he is on me, and ready to splatter me; I jump and mount his banshee. At that moment my friend shots at him with the laser and barely misses, but in doing so Master Honda decides to barrel roll the banshee. Mind you, I am still hanging onto the banshee. In the barrel roll he hits the sand hill and causes the banshee to explode killing him, yet giving me credit for the kill. The banshee is now missing the top half of the ship and all that is left is the bottom thruster. As I hang on to the banshee, it is going crazy jetting all across the floor completely out of control.
By the time I get out of the banshee, Master Honda had been killed a couple more times and decided to quit. Having a 1 Kill 6 Death ratio.
Epic moment. Not some much for what happened but for how it happened and to who it happened to. I love Halo 3. Enjoy the video.
