IS JACOB NOW IN SAYID'S BODY!!! I believe when Sayid was put in the water the others fully expected him to be healed by the wells powers, but because they did not know Jacob was dead ( the reason why the water was discolored and the guy's hand didn't heal ) it instead was used as a receptacle for Jacob's supernatural presents... WHY I CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION When SAYID awakes from being drowned the guy in the specs’ says “ O MY GOD” is this because he is amazed to see him alive or is it something more? And if the Smoke Monster can do it to Lock then why can't Jacob do it to SAYID?

Actually, I did not mean it literally but that the rivalry is similar (and I believe they are brothers). HOWEVER, I just watch the 'pop-up' repeat of last weeks episode and in the first 5 minutes a reference was made to the biblical Isaac (who along with Rebecca, are the parents of Jacob & Esau)....... just saying......

Come on. Why does ABC need a recap after one episode? My favorite moment? How about enjoying some new content last week & wishing I hadn't bought that 8pm would be yet another remedial ABC promo spot.

OMG...I am sat in the UK ......waiting for the written episode guide as we don not get the new episode til Friday 12th at 9pm GMT and in the uk we cant access the online videos :-( I have watched every episode as soon as it became available. My theory is that Jacob is the bad guy and MIB/Locke is the good guy...who has to do bad things for the greater good! Jacob is the one that brought our Heros to the Island...Jacob is the one who has possibly entered the "killers" body. MIB/Locke gave Bram and the others a chance to leave. He also "unchained" Richard. Everybody seems to be presuming the underwater Island is in the same time frame as the side step Oceanic flight 815....that may not be the case. I think Jack is the important one here.....after seeing him originally as the strong leader....he then through personal conflicts appears to become frail/weak...however I think in this final series after fighting/conqering his personal demons we will see him emerge as the true Hero. On the sideways flight we see him save Charlie who says" I was meant to die" After Sayids drwoning he is the last person to touch/breathe into Sayid who then returns to life. On the sideways flight....all the main characters appear to be mentally sound...whereas Jack looks "Lost".....he is also dressed in black...he is the Man in Black in this instance. My theory is that Jack will eventually make a superhuman unselfish sacrifice for the greater good...this will destroy Jacobs power and the MIB/Locke will return to real time/mortality in Jacks self-sacrificed body. Desmond I believe used his post Swan implosian powers of time travel to check on Jack on the sideways plane to make sure that he has no real memory of what has occured and that the MIB's personality is somehow lost/combined with Jacks. ie Jacks body/memories but the MIB/Locke's soul. the Jack on the sideways flight has already saved Charlie, by bumping into Kate giving her access to the pen helped to free Kate, causing Kate to come into contact again with Claire and the unborn Aaron, offered to medically help Locke .....thus undoing all the bad stuff that Jacob originally caused. Sorry if I have bored you but I cant help myself. Regards to you all xxxxx

Amazing! I agree with your thoughts of Jacob being the bad one and MIB being good.

I don't understand why locke is alive in the "alternate flashback". If the island is underwater, is Jacob dead? If he is then he shouldn't have healed Locke after being pushed out the window. Also it seems that Hurley doesn't have bad luck now that the island is gone.

I think you guys are taking it too far. Locke says the chain comments as a joke for him being Jacobs slave. Jacob is dead, no more chains. Ricardo says "you?" in more of a "i cant believe you killed him" sense

the ripple effect around the island as it supposedly disappeared wasn't caused by the island flying off into space or magically sinking ( if i remember correctly ) and I cant recall anything else relative to the time jumps other than light & sound, i'll definately give that some more thought

As sad as it was, my favorite part of the Season 6 premiere was when Sawyer was trying to dig Juliet out. Watching Sawyer finally care about something larger than himself was heart wrenching. Oh my gosh, why couldn't Juliet have made it? She wanted to go home so badly, and Sawyer loved her so much!

I definitely think Sun will have no choice but to reveal her knowledge of English during the interrogations. The main question is will it be in front of Jin or in a private room. Or maybe she will think it will be private, but he will be watching through a see through mirror. Claire looked really stressed when she saw the gun, so early labor is highly probable.

I think that Kate ended up in the tree safely because it grew up under her so to speak. The place she was standing in when the "blast" happened may not have had a tree but 30 years later it was all grown up.

sayid is dead i think.. and the island has never brought back anyone to life.. so i think jacob is somehow controlling sayid's body when he wakes up...

but in season one claire did not feel the baby move move until instantly after she ate fresh water fish caught by Jin on the island. so maybe the island water has healing properties.

Hey, what do you mean where did i take my opinion? 10 for sure could be arbitrary but I think when the show is all said and done, we will be able to watch it from end to start and it will make alot more sense. That why i feel like Aaron is Jacob and was technically the 1st born (going reverse order) and why having children on the isalnd hasnt worked out so well. I can totally see Jacob and Aaron as seperate people but there will be a weird time twisitng relation between the 2 I think. I dont even know if my post makes sense- Lost has be talking in circles alot of the time

The others were surprised that Locke was alive, and they looked surprised that Sayid was alive so I was thinking the same thing.

I agree with you, when I watched the last episode, I started to believe that Jacob is Aaron, and he can control the time in the island, that´s is the reason he is a middle-age person, he has the key to end up with this story...

I don´t agree with you, I think Jack represented a single person, who is a normal life, he has a respectful job like a doctor, he hasn´t trouble in his normal live, he only wants to leave the island, but I suppose that his live won´t be the same since the moment he took this plane years ago. He act like one of us will act,this is why his characters don´t change during the episodes pass. Jack will pay the most expensive price cause of he took this plane... he will be a looser, he will became crazy...

The theory stated above got me thinking about the importance of EVERYONE going back to the island to change the crash of 815. Maybe the people who didn't return to the island have the ability to change it once again -- and that loophole was known to whomever was rounding up the group.

I would like to add Flocke, has many different meanings. You can spell it as "FLOC" which means clumps of bacteria and particulate impurities that have come togethe an dformed a cluster. found in flocculation tanks and settling or sedimentations basins. Just a thought.

Totally agree. Every time someone dies, anyone, random extras included, I always think "quick Miles! Talk to them!" But he never does :( I feel the same way about Aaron and Walt, in that such a big deal was made over the two of them, and NOTHING has been said about either in a looong time.

Jesus had 12 disciples and sat in the middle of DaVinci's 'Last Supper' depiction. Flocke is sort of in the middle .. but there are 13 (disciples?) 6 to his right and 7 to his left.

" I’ve never seen an airplane lavatory door that opened “in” before Oceanic 815. Sayid sure got lucky when he was doing his Charlie rescue" Actually I think they all do open to the inside. They are usually french doors that fan to the inside leaving no room for a person to stay inside.

When Jack finally showed some humility in allowing Hurley to take charge. Food for thought:, #1-Why would Jacob need Sayid to die in order to take over his body for reincarnation purposes when the Man in Black is able to emulate John Locke even though John's body is still laying on the beach? Is F-Locke evidence that Jacob and MIB can appear as anyone they wish while still alive? #2-Assuming the plane in LAX 1&2 is flying over the Island along original timeline (BIG Assumption!) Desmond should be in the hatch inputing numbers at the same time as he appears on the plane, therefore is it possible that Jacob or MIB is sitting alongside Jack pretending to be Desmond? #3-I also agree with other posters that Richard was a companion at one time of Jacob and MIB, and I think that MIB took Richard with him because in order to change realities and allow MIB to go home, everyone that was present at the inception of the current timeline must be present in order to go back and change it, just like it was so important that EVERYONE return to the Island when the Oceanic 6 tried to go back.

FYI - It is very possible for Desmond to be on the plane and he would not be pushing the button because the hydrogen bomb destroyed the electromagnetic leak that was the cause for the hatch to be built and Desmond pushing the button in the first place. Also the island is now underwater as a result of the hydrogen bomb so Desmond could never arrive there. I guess the only explanation is that he decided not to enter Whitmore's boat race which would have left him stranded at least somewhere (since the island now is underwater), or he did enter the race and was stranded but Penny found him since there was no hidden idalnd for him to be stranded upon. My overall theory for the two dimensions (LAX no crash vs. LAX crash on island) existing together is that although on the island they think it didn't work, it actually did work (as deceased Juliette told Miles who told Sawyer in the premiere of this season) but that does not change who they are in their present. So now there are two "presents" existing - the survivors stuck in time in 2007 and the survivors on the LAX plane that never crashed in 2003. Both groups of surviviors from their own present are unaware of the other. So in essence they changed the future while in the 1970s by triggering the hydrogen bomb so that no electromagnetism existed for Desmond to have to contain by pushing a button. That event propelled them back into the present (2007) but the future they changed is now their past (LAX that never crashed in 2003) that exists in 2003 while they are now seperate beings unaware that their past selves (2003 survivors that never crashed) are living an alternate reality separate from themselves. It is like traveling back in time to see yourself. You are seeing a past that happened even though you are in your own present while in the past. If that past changes I believe the writers are saying that your present will still remain the same resulting in two selves existing side by side in time or in the case of the Oceanic survivors existing side by side in 2 different times. I hope it makes sense. Please anyone help me to better explain this theory if you have a clue what I am talking about.

The brilliance of the writers : I think most of us expected season 6 to go forward or backwards - so what did the writers do to fool us once again, keep us on our toes? They took us SIDEWAYS. OMG i Love this show - have been a member since the beginning but had to change my password so looks like im a newbie :)) Hats off to "brilliance"

In the flashsideways we see Desmond on the plain, but why? Yes I know he can't forget to push the button down in the hatch because it's no more.. But wouldn't he still be on the island? I can't remember exactly how he came to the island in first place, but wasn't it because of some storm that he went through while sailing his boat? I don't see how the hatch implosion makes Desmond stay away from the island, unless it was the hatch that made him go there in the first place. Does anybody have an answer to this?

jlambertchicago

He may have been saved by Penny since there was no island for him to be stranded on. Remember she had been searching for him before the LAX flight even took off.

  1. 1. Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) The raft sets sail in "Exodus, Pt. 1"
  2. 2. Jorge Garcia (Hurley) The comet in "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead"
  3. 3. Michael Emerson (Ben) Close confrontations like "One of Them"
  4. 4. Evangeline Lilly (Kate) Birth and death in "Do No Harm"
  5. 5. Emilie de Ravin (Claire) The cast together, like golfing in "Solitary"
  1. 1. The Constant Desmond's love story across time
  2. 2. Through the Looking Glass Charlie makes the ultimate sacrifice
  3. 3. Pilot The crash that started it all
  4. 4. Live Together, Die Alone Hostages and the hatch implosion
  5. 5. 316 They're not going to Guam
