Wow, where does one start with that episode ? i guess with the beginning. We get to meet Jacob! And he's not Jack, or Locke , or Christian...He's Jacob. And he's apparently some godlike fellow. We also meet someone else(Esau-I am not fully brushed up on my Bible, but i know Esau was Jacob's brother and did some bad stuff).
We also get the implication that Jacob keeps bringing people to the island to run them through some sort of "experiment' that always seems to go the same way "they come, fight, destroy, corrupt". It always ends the same way. And Jacob seems to want to prove this other fellow wrong. About what ? Human nature, I'm assuming.
then, the guy says that he wants to kill Jacob,and that someday he will "find a loophole", and Jacob says he'll be right here.
Fast forward to the end, and we find out that undead Locke is actually this other guy from the beginning of the episode who "found his loophole", and has Ben kill Jacob. To quote Shelley Bravlofski.."WHAT?WHAT?WHA
So, Locke is really dead. And this other guy, who I am going to call Esau, just fro brevity's sake, had Richard tell Locke that Locke needed to die to get everyone to come back to the Island. And that MIGHT be true, but the real reason that Esau needed Locke to die and be brought back to the Island was so that he could assume his form, as he has done with Christian Shepherd(and Ben's Mom? and Claire ? And whom else ?Maybe not Ben's Mom, since she did not die on the Island).
Poor John Locke, a dupe to the end.
But, did Jacob seems a little too accepting of his death ? He seemed to almost egg Ben on with "What About YOU?", didn't he ? is he gonna be kinda like Obi-Wan Kenobi, or(as I saw mentioned on a LOST blog) like Aslan, from The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe ? In dying, he will become more powerful ? perhaps ?
Also, who are Ilana and them working for ? I presume it's Jacob, but I am confused.
And why was Jacob out there (literally) touching the Oceanic 6 at different points in their lives? making sure they would come to the Island ? Guiding their courses ? Or, is it possible that whom we saw was not Jacob at all, but Esau, and they all played a part in his scheme ? he did say,"And you have no idea what I had to do" to get/use his loophole.I think it probably was Jacob, I'm just throwing the thought out there.
Are we all assuming that it was Esau that was trapped in the cabin ? I am thinking that it was, since it's the people in the cabin that have been manipulating Locke. But then, who let him out ?Who had him trapped there ?
We did find out that Ben had never spoken to Jacob. Was Ben deceiving Locke when he brought him to the cabin to meet Jacob, or is that where Ben thought he was ?
the whole Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet thing was as annoying as always.Though I did feel bad that Juliet got killed(or did she ?).
I still think that the detonation of the H-Bomb will send Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Miles, Juliet ? and Sayid back to their present time(2007 right?) on the Island, so that they can take part in whatever the battle is going to be.Though I cannot figure out who will be fighting who exactly.
i think they were who Jacob was talking about when he said "They're coming" before Esau/Not-Locke pushed him into the fire.
How great was it to see Rose and Bernard ? And how great were their reactions ? "Oh hell no" and 'Son of a bitch!" AWESOME!!! I hope that they don't get pulled to 2007 too. i liked them where they were.
Also nice to see Phil get his. Wes aw Dr. Chang lose his arm. radzinski survived so that he can still blow his brains out in the Swan.
What might Lapidus be a candidate for ? A body for Jacob, perhaps ?
Interesting that Jacob was not in Juliet's flashback, and Miles did not have one at all.
Loved Lapidus' line"Usually, the guys in a rush to say they're the good guys are the bad guys."(I'm pretty sure I got that wrong, but I think i got the gist)
