I hope somebody has a good theory about MIB being able to see dead people. I'm just dying to know what makes him so special.

suck it Jacob.

I now wonder if MIB is the one who gave Hurley the ability to see the dead.

If so, Jacob still called Hurley special. So...that's nice.

Yeah. When he ran speeding away in his car was the first time, I believe.

HO SHIT

so someone above suggested that they think Mother was smokey first and took the form of jacob and MiB's real mother when she appeared to MiB..what if hurley is not really talking to jacob? what if that's just MiB taking jacob's form?

I think MIB has powers to do with death and that's why he couldn't be the one to protect the light which was associated with life. Jacob has powers to do with living (making Richard immortal for example) so he's the opposite and the right guy for the job so to speak.

Since I think that JAcob's brother turned into Smokey and that Smokey didn't exsist because I think that the power Jacob's brother always had (seeing the dead) combined with the light stuff turned him into Smokey with powers relating to death so the exact opposite of Jacob's powers.

Does that make sense?

It does make sense. The crazy mother seemed to have a similar power since she made both MIB and Jacob ageless. The "powers to do with living" bit does explain why she would choose Jacob as the protector.

But we still don't know how people acquire these powers. That's what is making me rage.

Exactly! She had that power so she wanted to see which one of her "sons" would have it too and when she heard that Jacob's brother saw his dead mother she knew he was lost anyway because he didn'e have the "life power" but the "dead power". Maybe she was in denial for a bit and figured if she left him alone and if he never acted on his power/had contact with the light it would be okay?

I think they just always had the power or the island gave them the power as a gift or something? I mean it wasn't DNA since the mother wasn't their real mother.

I actually like this theory a lot. It seems possible.

I don't know why he can see dead people. I'm just guessing its the same thing as Hurley and maybe Miles.
