Lost!!!!!

[Squirrel]

My take on things. Sayid is now Jacob. Locke the Black Monster. The people at the Temple are the ones who was on the list. The alternate time line is catching up with the former timeline. The is the reason they are show it. They will catch up to it at the end of the season. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Still alot of mystery surrounding Richard. Tied in alot of things in the first two episodes.

i think richard is jacob's son.

i think richard is jacob's son.

But why was he in chains?

[c0r]

you think hes a slave from the black rock?

i thought it meant 'chains' as in jacob controlling him.

[DirtyMagic97]

I still think one of the most important quotes is one that Jacob said in the first scene of last seasons finale...

"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress."

Makes me further believe that there is one ending, and both realities must merge at some point.

What keeps bugging me is Fake Locke's "I want the same thing you do. I want to go home". wtf! Where the heck is his home? What makes him think Ben wants to go home when he hated it to begin with? Double meaning here imo. His home can't be simply off the island somewhere on Earth. If it is, he was off the island with John Locke and could've gone home, anywhere on Earth, then.

His telling Ben about Locke's last thoughts tells me that he's been with/a part of John since the plane crashed. Brings clarity to some of John's actions early on.

I wonder how Widmore fits in with all of this, given his obsession with getting back to the island?

i think home for the man in black could be the temple.

interesting episode last night.

I'm trying to process what I learned from last night. Not sure yet

i think home for the man in black could be the temple.

I think so, too.

Here's my theory: when Jacob told Hurley that he needed to take Sayid to the temple, that wasn't actually Jacob -- it was the smoke monster posing as Jacob, just as he was posing as John Locke.

This way he could also "claim" or "infect" Sayid and thus infiltrate the temple by having them take him there.

This is also why the other guys tortured Sayid -- it was somehow a means of figuring out if he was Sayid, Jacob or the smoke monster. I'm not sure what they were looking for, but he failed the test. Now, worried that he is the smoke monster, they must kill him.

Just a theory. I've learned over the years that, more often than not, my theories regarding LOST are wrong.

Anyone here think the smoke monster might be the good twin, and Jacob the bad one?

I thought the episode was kind of weak. It was interesting the Ethan was the doctor when Kate and Claire went to the hospital and he was trying to inject her with something - the same thing that happened back on the island when he abducted her.

I thought from previous seasons the 'sickness' or 'infection' was all in Rousseau's head. Desmond was supposedly taking medication to protect him from it, but later learned he didn't have to. But now I guess it's real.

That could be true, but remember Jacob got Hurley on the plane saying he was special and his ability to see dead people could be a blessing instead of a curse. I took that as Jacob knowing he needed Hurley to be able to tell them to take Sayid to the temple. So I think it was actually Jacob that Hurley talked to - dead Jacob at least.

I was thinking that at the end of last season. When Jacob visited Kate and Sawyer as kids he kind of reinforced their bad behavior - taking up for Kate when she stole and supplying the pen for Sawyer to write the letter he later obsesses over. He was encouraging the bad behavior that made them who they are.
