Cept for that little niggling issue where the smoke monster can't be hurt by bullets. DUHHHH! Are you even watching the damn show? I don't think you are.
You might be right about Desmond's magic, though.
His electromagnetic...gic.

Surely it's his 'electromagicnetism'

Funny, so true, yet...they keep trying for some reason. I suppose what else are you gonna do if the thing's about to whip you through the air 100 yards against a palm tree.

Well if Desmond can get his spell working right, then the smoke monster will start blinking and THEN it can be hurt by bullets.

Only if you attack its weak point for massive damage.

They really need to kill Kate off. Anyways, the Lost finale has been extended with another 30 minutes so when it's aired it will be full three hours.

If this fucking thing ends with Locke/MIB getting riddled with bullets then I am going fucking postal.
But then I think - what possible ending would satisfy me?
Then it hits me. They pan back over the island, further, further, out to the Earth itself, further out past the edge of the Milky Way, further still, further and.....we are all in a giant marble being played by giant space monkeys.
Oh yeah - Men In Black ending. Cue JJ Abrams coming on screen opening a box and grinning like a madman.

I doubt very seriously the show will end with a gunfight against the smoke monster and a bunch of people screaming "yay we won". Whether all of the plot of Lost has been shot from the hip, or planned since the beginning, the writers have been very clever about leading the story down unexpected paths. For them to cop out at the last minute like that would be very unexpected.
I'm gonna make my final prediction here, and say that it isn't gonna be Jack who's the next candidate. It'll be Locke. He's the lynchpin of the show, the one character who's suffered the most, who always felt he was destined for better things. Jack, on the other hand, wasn't described by Jacob as being an important person (despite being a candidate), he's there to do one Very Important Thing.
So how is Locke gonna be the next Jacob if he's dead in Island World? Well, his still very much alive self could cross over from the alternate world, but I kinda doubt that's what'll happen. See, I think Evil Smoke Locke is actually as much old Locke as he is the Evil Smoke Monster. He has all of his old memories. From his childhood to the moment he died. He's lived Locke's life as much as Locke has himself, and thus you could say that he's still very much alive...just corrupted.
But how is it all gonna end? I'm gonna call it and say that Jack has to do something in both universes that somehow gives new hope to both Lockes. The moment Locke takes his first step after Jack's surgery will be the moment Jack does something Very Important and reawakens/inspires the presumed dead Locke inside the monster, who then becomes both Smokey and Jacob in the same body. At that point, the end Jacob hinted at during the season 5 finale will happen. The Smoke Monster is permanently entwined with the very person who's supposed to safeguard the rest of the world from him.
If that isn't how it all ends, I'm writing some fucking fanfiction. Also Dumbledore dies.
edit: and because I doubt we're gonna have a bunch of characters hopping across universes, I believe Desmond will use his electromagicnetic...gic to make everyone aware of their other lives. We've already seen it halfway happen to him. He has a sense of his other life, but it doesn't seem to be complete. So maybe whatever he does...and whatever else Jack does...will give everyone total recollection of their alternate selves, which will somehow lead to what I described above.

Interesting thoughts on the sideways characters possibly crossing over. Something definatly happened to Desmond that might be similar (referencing his mood and actions after his exposure to the EM energy is "Happily Ever After").
Also, looks like next week we'll be getting the "Jacob/MIB" flashback episode.

I absolutely love that theory.
