Just watched the opening scene again between Jacob and Nameless Guy and it was indeed a statue of Sobek (abc.com has the episode available)

Looking at the wiki page it is hard to deny it. Holding the same thing in his hand and everything. Interesting with Sobek being a fertility god and there being issues on the island regarding children being born. Makes sense. Now I guess I will go back and read some more on Sobek and see if anything stands out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobek

Here is a screen cap I took of the statue



Looking at it more now I am going to rule out Sobek as well. Looking at other sobek statues they mouth is more long and flat. And this surely isn't a bird so it is not Horus and also not Anubis the Jackal.

I will have to rewatch it again, but I am pretty sure he TOUCHES every person when he visited them? Off the top of my head, he tapped Kate's nose, grabs Sayid, gives Jack his bar, holds both Sun and Jin's shoulder, but I am unsure about Sawyer and Hurley if someone can help me out. I decided to mention Locke in a different sentence, as it looked to me that Locke was dead until Jakob touched him and he opened his eyes. I mean they DID call it a miracle. It is weird that in all of the flashbacks, Jakob was in it EXCEPT Juliettes....

Also, I am thinking that he knew Sayid was going to get hit by the car (did you notice the car sped off, making it look intentional, like a hit was put out on Sayid [maybe Whitmore?]) so he pulled Sayid back.


My initial thoughts...(it is 8am and I will be just throwing an idea out there)

It is a battle of good versus evil it appears (obviously) and evil can't kill good outright, he needs to have someone do it for him. Maybe Jack dropping the bomb correlates directly to the good versus evil story. Maybe the reason he visited all of them is to turn them on to his side (Without them knowing) so later on down the line he can survive.

Dropping the bomb means that none of them come to the island, and if none come to the island, then Locke never meets Ben, and Locke never dies, and the Man in Black can't use Ben to kill Jakob. Since the Losties never make it to the island.

So maybe Jakob was recruiting the Losties to help him out? I know there are probably a few holes I will find tomorrow in this but I think it may have some possibility?



Other questions...Is that why Richard didn't want anyone going in with the leader? Because maybe the Man in Black has to be present when Jakob dies, but he obviously can't do it himself, so with only one person allowed in at a time, then there is no chance anyone will attack Jakob.

Furthering, who IS Richard Alpert? He appears to be a guardian...Angel?

Also, where does Whitmore come into play next season?

And what the **** is going to happen with the bomb?!?


ARGGHHH head asplode!!!!

So in the beginning of the final episode the two guys are watching the Black Rock ship comeing in, and are talking about a 'cycle' about to repeat itself. Then the one guy says he wants to kill the Jacob.

So the two of them are manipulating everyone in order to achieve their goals. Which is a pretty cool plot twist to me.

The only thing I didn't like was Jack and his change of mind because he blew his shot with Kate?

I mean come on, even on a deserted island for a few years I don't see Kate being the girl to give it all up for.

And I still want to know what is the deal with arron and the physic back in Australia who told Clair not to have the baby because he was going to be/do something terrible. They built up something that I think they forgot about.

Let's get a bunch of us rent a house in Vegas for a couple weeks and just watch every episode of LOST together.

Even some stuff in the pilot are interesting looking at where it is now.

i may have missed something too, but was claire not meant to be in this season?

She decided she would rather make a Lifetime movie based off a Nora Robert's book.

I am watching episodes from Season 2. In episode 16, "The Whole Truth," there is at least one error in the subtitles. When the fertility doctor is talking to Sun, he says "You're husband..."

THAT SHOULD BE "YOUR," IDIOT.

That's not a mistake. It's a twist that will develop into a major storyline in Season 6. Sun is her own husband.
