Another first time finisher here, while I have many questions, this one sticks with me the most…
Just finished the series over the course of four months. Obviously I feel hollow now and have many questions, most of which I’m sure I’ll work out myself by rumination or by reading through this sub more, which I’ve avoided until now for obvious reasons. But I do have a question regarding the ‘passage of island protection’ that happens a few times in the last episode(s). When Jacob ‘passes this on’ to Jack, he gives him something to drink after saying some other language words over it. Jack drinks it. Jacob does his whole iconic ’You’re like me now’ thing. Kate then asks him if he feels any different, which kinda read like asking him if he now feels like an immortal protector of a crazy ass island. Jack replies that he doesn’t really feel different at all. Sure.
Later, when Jack passes that on to Hurly before he goes back down into Glow Cave, he does the same: take an empty water bottle that Ben gave him (y’all, I got teary when Ben just did as told and stared all wide eyed, didn’t say shit, and just… was) filled it with water and gave it to Hurly to drink. No enchanted other language words spoken over it, just some puddle water. Jack says to Hurly you’re like me now, reflecting Jacob’s words.
My question(s) is this: was this ‘handing over the torch’ ritual actually… anything? Did it do anything? Was it just symbolic? Did it give them any special immunity/immortality that Jacob had as his mother had passed to him or was it just kinda for show?

How did Tom know the island won't let Michael? S4E8
How did Tom know the island won't let Michael kill himself?
If Ben is not in contact with Jacob, how did Tom receive this knowledge about the magic protection that wouldn't let Michael kill himself?
Who told Tom and who told whoever told Tom?

Why does sun change her last name?
I'm on s6 and the characters are refering to sun as sun kwon. I know most american audiences won't know that koreans don't change their last name after marriage, but it's interesting that no one's talking about it.

Made my personal LOST character tier list 🏝️

I know everyone has wildly different takes on who belongs where, but this is how it landed for me. Some were easy (Vincent supremacy forever 🐕), others I kept moving up and down.
