Answered all your questions Dude
Question Number 1. Crazy insane old hag that's been on the island for a long time kills a woman who just gave birth to twins and only names one of them because the mother expected only one baby. Would it kill you to think of a name, lady?
She wanted them to grow up to be opposites. Don't be so naive to think she never knew all of this was going to happen. Jacob wears white, MIB wears black. Jacob gets a name, MIB doesn't. MIB gets a board game Jacob doesn't. I'm sure this happened throughout their lives.
#2. Next, nameless Jacob twin joins with a bunch of rather pacifist humans who just want to leave the island (You know, free will?) by creating some sort of giant wheel in the ground. How does that work, exactly? Was there a flow of...unknown-teleporting-plot-convienient-energy, behind that mud wall? How can the giant wheel thing channel that energy?
What made you think they were pacifists? As the MIB described they were selfish, base creatures that cared for nothing but themselves. And if you're talking about realism, might as well not watch the show, you might as well not watch television anyway! The wheel somehow harnesses the Island's natural electromagnetic energy and teleports the user to the exit point in Tunisia. How it does that is left up to the viewer's interpretation.
#3. It just makes no sense, but either way, the old-hag doesn't want to let them leave the island. This is the best part: An aging most certainly crazy woman not only defeats an entire village of rather well-built men obviously by herself but she also fills a giant tunnel with durt, all of which she does only in a few hours maximum. That's just insane.
You remember when she said that 'going into the light gives you a fate worse than death?' She obviously knows this because she herself went in and became a smoke monster. The producers revealed this and thats how she massacred the village and filled up the ditch. I don't blame you for not knowing this.
#4. The whole "flashbacks where the crash didn't happen" was just some kind of last gig they did together ater death? Well that's a horrible thing to do to themselves. Imagine, you completely forgot you were dead and you're leading a better life than the one you actually had (In most cases) and you realize through...flashes, I guess, that you're actually dead? What a freaking bummer! And you guys wanted to do this? Having fun with your fake little lives to realize in flashes that it's all a lie and that you're already dead? That's just insane (I know I'm repeating myself)
They made the world so they could remember each other. The time they spent together is the most important times of their life. Wouldn't you like to "move on" with your family and friends and people you love the most? Sounds like a good deal to me! Also, time doesn't pass in the Flash Sideways World, Their lives in that world actually never happened, only what we saw in the episodes actually happened.
#5. What was up with Walt being a psychic? Walt was special, I believe that was made clear
Why did Ben kill Loch? Because the only way the Oceanic 6 would come back to the island was through his death
What the hell is that source of light that Jacob must protect supposed to be, on the island? God? The source of life? What the hell?! The real explanation and I quote right from the show: "A physical manifestation of life, death, and rebirth..." It represents all that is good in the world and humans always want more
Why was the Smog Monster suddenly taking the shape of random humans like Eko's brother or Jack's father? For fun? To manipulate and trick the survivors into slowly killing each other. As you can see, the monster was largely successful.
Why does throwing Jacob's nameless brother into the pit of light, whatever it is, result in turning him into a giant smog monster with shape-shifting abilities? Because, as I said earlier, it is a fate worse than death. Never to be human again. To be a lifeless smoke monster trapped on the island
Why would it be SO BAD for Jacob's brother to leave the island? He just wanted his freedom! Who said he was going to destroy everything? After he became the monster, he became the physical manifestation of evil. If he were to escape, then the Island would have lost its purpose, which would be to keep evil at bay.
#6. You're widely mistaken, when you say that this was the best way of satisfying the masses, because the ending of Lost is vastly regarded as one of the worst endings to a show ever.
Actually, it was highly acclaimed by most sites. And then there were those who felt "cheated."
5. What was up with that woman that claimed to work for Jacob and kept threatening Ben? She claims that Jacob's been preparing her all her life for this, that Jacob knows what's gonna happen and that he's got a plan, but she just blows up by accidentally dropping the dynamite too hard. She was utterly useless! What was Jacob's plan, exactly?! She had done her purpose, which was to say that they were all candidates. Then the island was done with her
I answered basically all of your questions. What surprises me is half of this stuff is explicitly stated in the show itself. But if you weren't a really major lost fan (like me) you probably wouldn't notice.
And the ending is more a matter of opinion. I found that it was the only possible way to end it, because if they left it at any sort of cliff hanger, then people would be begging for more. The creators made it clear that this was the end of their chapter, and the survivors that we've grown to love, finally ended their stories together.
