re: LOST Season Finale (5-13)- The Incident

quote:

John Locke, the actual person (not the vessel for The Black Team), had a really, really, REALLY pathetic end to his life, didn't he.

Its kind of heartbreaking.

---

I really don't see it that way. Yes, it appears that John was a pawn in that evil incarnate used his body but John also made the ultimate sacrifice that allowed his friends to get back to the island which possibly prevented world destruction.

Ok one question that I didn't see posed: did Jacob inherently let Nadia be struck by that car? Was that his way of getting Sayid back? Or was he preventing Sayid from getting hit? I just wonder if it would have happened had Jacob not stopped him to ask him for directions.

wow

i love this show

my thoughts:


so Jacob is the white (white shirt) and NotLocke is the black (guy on the beach in the black shirt). nice to see that coming back. is the Black NotLocke guy a type of Esau or is he a Satan character?

who are the new people? ilena seemed to know Jacob before he entered her hospital

Capt. Lapidas got to see what was in the box. he seems like an outside character. his name translates as stone, to stone someone or tombstone. i think he is sort of like a boatman character taking people across the river Styx (the island's threshold to reality)

are Christian, Walt, Claire, etc. embodiments of Jacob or the man in black?

does Sawyer kill himself because he thinks Juliet is dead? (twist on the Shakespearean name)

juliet was retarded in this episode. how many times did she flip flop her ideas about what they should do?

ash around the cabin and jacob's body being burned. what's the significance?

why would the new crew burn the cabin?

Bernard and Rose are definitely Adam and Eve skeletons living in their own paradise.

where does Charles Widmore fit in now?

what was written on the tapestry inside the foot?


oh, and

Sobek's ambiguous nature led some Egyptians to believe that he was a repairer of evil that had been done, rather than a force for good in itself, for example, going to Duat to restore damage done to the dead as a result of their form of death. He was also said to call on suitable gods and goddesses required for protecting people in situation, effectively having a more distant role, nudging things along, rather than taking an active part.

Jacob or Richard, i wonder


did i mention i loved this show?

if you dont know and havent been watching then shut up!

the "they're coming" line from Jacob.

So with the potential of a "reset" in the late 70's and a "they're coming" line in 2007, what if the plane still crashes but the Losties don't get on the helicopter this time and stay on the island longer than before and the wheel doesn't get turned, thus they show up as Ben and NonLocke walk out from under the foot?

ETA: This has plenty of holes but it could be worked out. Maybe........

EPIC

Maybe Jacob and Mr. Black were angels both cast of heaven and forced to live on earth. Jacob accepted the punishment and chooses to live his life on earth and help humanity find its path. On the other hand, Mr. Black is bitter and is trying to find a way to return to heaven. Maybe having someone who is completely loyal to Jacob kill him allows Mr. Black to be released from earth.


I have no idea. My brain is fried.

-One theory I've had about Richard for a while is that he came originally on the Black Rock (hence the alias Ricardo, or whatever).

Also, he was working on that ship model in a bottle last episode that was pretty much a to-scale replica of the Black Rock.
