Five seasons of Lost down, one more to go. If you watched tonight’s episode, it was quite a complex ride.
I just got home from a friend’s house where we had about seven or eight people watching the two-hour season 5 finale of Lost. Some have watched all along, some only a few episodes and some had no idea what was going on. It was an interesting dynamic to say the least seeing the reactions and questions coming from the non-fans. It really makes you think how this show, more than any other I can think of, is truly impossible to follow unless you’ve been there all along.
Now, on to the finale… Where do I even start?
| |
First off, if you’ve not seen the finale, you best watch it or catch up in the show and watch it before reading on. Do that and come back to post your thoughts, we’d love to read them. This article and the comments will be discussing spoilers.

If you’re still here, it’s time to talk Spoilers.
Introduction
As briefly as I possibly can summarize the episode: we finally meet Jacob, we see the four-toed statue in full form, we discovered why the unwilling members of the oceanic six came back, why many of the characters seemed to be destined (chosen) to come to the island in the first place, how Locke “survived” his death (twice?), how Jacob is the key to connecting many (all?) of the characters with the island, we find out why Locke knows everything he knows and who he really is, the losties all come together again annndddd the island gets hydrogen bombed the same year Star Wars came out.
Oh, and how could I forget! Fan-favorites Rose, Bernard and the most important character of all, Vincent the Dog, all make triumphant returns in the finale to explain where they’ve been all this time.
I read in the papers this morning that after tonight’s episode, fans would not know how the show could continue – that it acts as a sort of conclusion. Of course, for us Lost fans, this is no conclusion at all, but the start of a bridge leading to the real conclusion that will come in the form of 17 new episodes starting a full eight months from now.
From the final official Lost podcast of the season, producers and writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse revealed that this finale would give fans all the tools they need to form together a proper theory of what the show is all about and possibly how it may end. Well, they certainly did do that with the season closer and many theories of old can be officially trashed now.
The Finale
In traditional Lost fashion, the first episode opens mysteriously in the distant past where we get to see the four-toed statue in full form. While that was a cool reveal, the big reveal came moments later when we see two unknown men talking with each other on the beach beside the statue with the Black Rock ship in the ocean background. The conversation of the two strangers hints at them being long-term enemies and it ends with one referring to the other as Jacob and promising that one day he would find a loop-hole to kill him.
Wow. No messing around.The first scene of the show give us Jacob after all this time and speculation – Awesome!
Well, kind of. While Jacob was a cool character throughout the finale, appearing at key points in each character’s lives and seemingly recruiting them with his golden touch, it did feel very haphazard to see it happen all at once in this finale.
In two back-to-back episodes, we met Jacob and his nemesis (his brother Esau?), saw how he was involved with our main Losties, and how he seemingly dies – All in a two-parter out of 103 episodes of the series so far. Why not develop that some more over the last two seasons? It seems a bit much to have all of it in one episode and have it all so convenient, like it was made up in this certain way afterwards to find some way to explain what we’ve seen in past seasons.
That being said, the religious themes and characters were incredibly interesting and we can certainly tell there is a ton of work behind-the-scenes being done to tie everything together. It is creativity at its finest. Looking back on the episode, even the intro where we see Jacob wearing white and Esau wearing dark representing good and evil, mostly everything that occurs over the two hours is very precise and intentional.
Some Issues
While the episode is a mind-exploder and television entertainment at its finest for those who like to think about the shows they watch, it was not perfect and I had some little gripes with it.
A dumb thing for me was Ben telling Locke that he made up that conversation he had with Jacob when he brought Locke to the cabin back in season 3. That seems like a bit of a retcon and they’ve yet to address how/why the cabin disappears or moves. I felt that it was a weak cop-out of sorts and Ben saying he did it because he was embarrassed didn’t make sense with his character and what else happened in that cabin scene. It seems that Ben turned into a more of a childlike character motivated by jealousy. That being said, we have seen him like that before with regards to Juliet…
Speaking of which, Juliet and Kate make no sense to me. They seem to have no earnest motivation for their actions and often seem to change their mind or support different characters simply out of spite of others. I don’t get their characters and we saw plenty of that this episode. To make it worse, there was one flashback for Juliet about her parents divorce thrown into the show for no purpose whatsoever other than to add lame dialogue for her to say to Sawyer.
Religious Themes
Alright, let’s get biblical! The episode was ripe with religious connotations with the most focus obviously on Jacob and his enemy Esau who has taken the form of Locke in an attempt to take advantage of a loophole to kill him since he cannot himself. What did I just say? That’s not confusing.
This dynamic we witnessed was cool but it was from the perspective of Esau (the other dude from the intro scene with Jacob) and I hope next season we get more of him and Jacob. Specifically, I want to see more history on Jacob and episodes focusing in on his perspective over the previous seasons and leading up to the events in the show.
Since I don’t have months to do all the research needed to grasp the history and knowledge required to completely understand the show, I’ll cheat and cite some things from the Lost wiki:
Jacob envisioned a “Ladder to Heaven” (described in the Book of Genesis 28:11-19) during his flight from his brother Esau.
In all three – Hebrew, Muslim, and Christian interpretations, Jacob’s ladder can be considered as a bridge between two worlds… a connection between God and Man. In the Bible, Tanakah and the Qur’an, Jacob was the younger twin of Esau. Benjamin was Jacob’s youngest son. Jacob died in Egypt in slavery… but Jacob’s descendants went on.
Egypt… like an Egyptian Statute perhaps? Could Jacob’s descendants be the losties he has chosen in the flashbacks… Likely relating to that list we kept hearing about starting in season 3. Remember when Pickett says that Jack’s “not even on Jacob’s list”?
Esau, who I assume is Jacob’s brother from the intro, seems to be the bad guy in all of this, taking the form of Locke to attempt to have Jacob killed.
In the Bible and Tanakah, Aaron is a direct descendant from Jacob.
Aaron? How interesting. Good thing Kate left him off-island or else, baby go boom!
According to the Book of Malachi, God “loved Jacob but hated his brother Esau” (Malachi 1:1-3).
Remember that “God Loves you as He Loved Jacob” video that Karl was forced to watch back in season 3? That same room that Walt was likely put in when held captive and forced to “take tests” back in season 2? Things are starting to come full circle!
There’s also mention in the religious texts of a guardian/guardian angel for Esau and him being evil. Could this be Smokey the monster? That would certainly explain it taking the form of young Rousseau and telling Ben to follow Esau (in Locke form) which led to Ben’s willingness to kill Jacob for him (Hence, Esau find and using a loophole). Also, this explains why Locke tells Richard to tell the real Locke during that time loop paradox that he needs to die in order to bring back the Oceanic Six to the island – It was actually Esau telling Richard that!
We can extend this further to say that Smokey/Esau’s Guardian/Esau took the form of Jack’s dad, Christian Shephard and pretended to speak on Jacob’s behalf in older episodes. The phrase and episode title “dead is dead” sure means a lot more now in relation to these characters.
The Smoke monster, also known as Cerberus from the map we saw hidden in the hatch made by Radzinksy and Kelvin, seems to be the protector of the temple and so it has some connection to the ancient folk who built the structures and the statue. That map from the hatch also had several spots labeled “CV” which was confirmed to mean Cerberus Vents, likely the holes we’ve seen where the smoke monster comes from. As for the name “Cerberus,” in Greek and Roman mythology Cerberus is a multi-headed dog which guards the gates of Hades. Hades has multiple meanings, some of which refer to the ancient Greek underworld and its God, or the domain of the dead and the lord of the dead. Could that be Esau?
I wish I had a pet Smoke Monster!
If any of this is right, it’s starting to make sense! I really need to re-watch everything from the beginning of season 3 onward.
This is just barely scratching the surface – there is so much more in the episode and infinitely more online about this that I’ve just started to read. If you’re a hardcore lost fan, you’ll have plenty of reading to keep you busy during the long wait till season 6.
Conclusion
The finale concluded with a bang (literally). In the 2007 timeline, we witnessed Ben kill Jacob with a knife on behalf of who we thought was Locke, but really was Esau. And in the 1977 timeline, a should-be-very-dead Juliet set off the hydrogen bomb by hitting it with a rock. Since she seems to be immortal, she probably walked away from that blast with no issue.
Jacob dies without a fight at the end, seemingly unworried. My guess is that he knows about the bomb going off in the past that will reset everything, but I’m guessing not in the way Jack hoped it would. One theory out there is that Faraday’s plan (now Jack’s) to use the bomb to prevent everything that happened is actually to ensure everything happens again. The course of events did seem to re-occur as they should with Dr. Chang losing his hand, Radzinsky living to push the button in the hatch and Jacob’s dying words saying “they’re coming” possibly in reference to the Losties returning to their proper time after the white flash from the bomb.
Here’s a twist: what if Jacob was intentionally changing things on his own. We saw him give the pen to young Sawyer which caused him to continue writing his letter and therefore get caught by a family member which leads to him promising not too write the note, possibly dropping his personal vendetta against the real Sawyer. We also saw Jacob convince young Kate to not steal again. Could that be Jacob changing everything for his disciples or was that what happened before anyway? (”What happened happened.”)
I wish I could say more, but so much happened that I’m starting to forget many of the scenes. I will definitely be re-watching the finale later this week to help take it all in.
So, what did you think of the finale and the good vs. evil religious themes? What about Jacob? How do you think next season will start?
Some Discussion Points
- We see the old sailing ship, the Black Rock, in the intro and it is revealed that Jacob brought them there. Will we see how the ship got to the center of the island or how Jacob brought them there?
- How does Jacob leave the island and keep coming back?
- Did Jacob let himself die, knowing that the bomb would change things in the altered 1977 timeline?
- Who was Jacob referring to when he said “they’re coming”?
- Will Jacob and Esau’s history be explored and to see how they get their immortality and powers and how old are they?
- Who built the statue and temples and how old is it?
- What are Jacob’s lists for and what were the others doing with Walt and the children back in season 1/2?
- If Ben didn’t really see Jacob in the cabin back in season 3, who called out “Help me” to John and what made the cabin go nuts in that scene?
- What’s with Christian Shephard and why was he the one to tell John to move the island?
- How did Juliet survive the fall?
- Why did some survivors of the second plane crash land in 1977, others in 2007?
- Who are the folks who brought Locke’s body to Richard?
- If all Esau needed was a someone else to kill Jacob, why are all these other survivors involved? Why can’t they kill each other?
- Will the Smoke Monster’s origin be explained?
- Is Esau the Smoke Monster or does the Smoke Monster protect Esau? Or is it neither?

I haven’t read all the 354 comments so what I’m about to say may be reiterrating what others have previously said.
My first thought about the cabin is that Jacob never lived there…or atleast not during Ben’s trips to the cabin. Rather, I think the cabin was inhabited by Jacob’s brother. Jacob lived under the statue way back in time when the black rock was arriving and I don’t think he ever left. I also think Richard knew this and was journeying to the statue to get the lists and slips of paper rather than the cabin. The “help me” i believe was Jacob’s brother looking for someone to help him with his loophole. From the gist of what was shown in the finale…I see Jacob as an inheritely good person and don’t see how he could be the person in charge of the others under Ben’s regime(which was at times cruel). So I think at some point in time Jacob’s brother found a way to make himself the person to answer to rather than Jacob. The cabin with the ash around it was different from Bernard’s cabin, so I don’t really see a connection there. Oh and has anyone translated what Richard said when the people transporting Locke’s body asked him what lies in the shadow of the statue or whatever? I didn’t have time to catch exactly what he said.
As for the bomb…I believe that it was meant to happen. The bomb resulted in the delicate balance that the hatch was created to maintain and i think also destroyed the top part of the statue, which was part of the sanctity of the island.
I hope season six helps explain what happened to Claire because I don’t think there was ever anything good about the cabin or the visions of Christian. Maybe Aaron is a “candidate” to possibly be a leader of the others in the future…or maybe thats just wishful thinking.
p.s. My prediction for season 6 is that a mysterious man wanders out of the jungle by the name of Joshua. He will then lead others in battle eventualy reconquering the island aka promised land haha =].
—Joshua
I’d just like to add that we don’t know for sure that Sun’s pregnancy will be successful. From what Juliet has said in previous episodes, the pregnancies don’t start going “bad” until during or near childbirth time. The problem was never that the women couldn’t conceive on the island: it was that every single one died during childbirth. So we won’t know if Sun’s pregnancy is really successful until after she gives birth and survives it. Hope that makes sense.
Also, remember that the gigantic statue that we see in the Jacob/Dark Shirt flashback is of the Egyptian goddess Tawaret, who’s primary role was pregnancy and childbirth. Is it just a coincidence that the destruction of a gigantic statue of the “childbirth goddess” suddenly causes successful childbirth to be impossible on the island? Just some food for thought =).
I think it’s likely that the atomic explosion (at whatever year it ended up going off depending on whether Juliet time-traveled as she fell into the energy) is responsible for the destruction of the statue, though there’s obviously no concrete proof of that yet. If it did work out that way, it’s kind of ironic that the fertility and childbirth specialist (Juliet) is the one responsible for setting off the bomb and destroying the childbirth goddess’ statue, which in turn causes the very problem on the island that Juliet was recruited and brought to the island to solve in the first place =D. Ah, my head’s spinning already!
Also damien, interesting speculation on Richard Alpert you presented!
Let’s go a little deeper into possible religious meanings. First of all, Jacob vs. Esau could be a parallel to Jesus vs. Satan. Some have speculated that Jesus and Satan are really brothers (remember, Satan is a fallen angel). The Bible says that God loved Jacob but hated Esau. Going with this possible parallel, Jacob had 12 sons (the 12 tribes of Israel…later Jesus had 12 Apostles). They were enslaved, roamed the desert, and entered the promised land. Moses led them through the desert, but wasn’t allowed to enter the promised land (Jack being the Moses character, remember Jack’s not on “the list”). Aaron led the people into the promised land (Aaron in Lost is safe on the mainland for now, growing up). Back to Jesus, he was killed when the Jews demanded his death, some thing at the prompting of Satan (the thinking is that God protects his Son from Satan, but Satan talked the people into killing him. However, that was God’s plan all along, in order to save the world). My thinking is that Jacob is alive again at some point in the last season, and Aaron somehow plays a role in leading the Losties to salvation in the future.
Dear Joshua,
Ilana asks Richard the question, “what lies in the shadow of the statue”, and Richard replies, “Ille qui nos omnes servabit” (Latin for “He who will save us all.”) It is also interseting that she first asks to speak to Ricardo, whereupon Richard steps forward and says “I am Richard”.
well Richard has always seemed like he was from Spain to me, and naturally if he was from Spain, his name would be Ricardo originally, when he came to the island with the Black Rock, if that is in fact when he came to the island for the first time.
I’m also very curious to find out what people think about the reason there is Locke’s body inside the container that Ilana’s people carry to the statue. Also interested in why Richard is asked in Latin, not spanish, which leads me to believe he is actually older than the Black Rock, since Latin was a dying spoken language in the mid 1800s.
Just a thought about the radiation from the bomb. Didn’t Desmond and the other gent have to wear radiation suits to go outside?
If it was a “small” bomb, the radiation could be “tolerable” by the time the “Losties” get to the island.
The bomb imploded down because of the electromagnetism; it did dot explode. This caused the equivalent of an earthqua.ke
Very Good!!!!!
i like what richard says to ilana when she asks him what lies in the shadow of the statue and he says he who will save us. is he referring to jacob? i had friend point out that locke’s body was in the statue’s shadow as well. i think the hydrogen bomb detonation is the incident, i mean that’s what the episode is called, and usually the episode names literally and figuratively sum up the episodes themselves. however, other than guessing that the h bomb going off was the incident i don’t know what is gonna happen in season 6. there was one thing i did like about the finale, remember in season 1 when kate is stitching up jack and he tells the story of tearing the girls sac open and haveing to count to 5 and stich her back up, i thought it was cool they showed it in the finale
I so wish Juliet and James will be re-united in season six!!! They are so perfect together. Juliet balances Sayer just right, she is much better for him then Kate.
I so want Juliet to come back on season 6, I practically tore my head off when I assumed she was dead. I love season 5, just because of James/Juliet, wish their lovestory had been shown more, instead of skipping those 3 years…
did anyone notice when juliet woke at the bottom of the hole…she almost…came back to life…like john locke did when jacob brought him back after being oushed by his father? it seems likely to me jacob was there to “touch” her, so that with her free will she would be capable ot setting off the “incident” needed to re-unite the clan for season 6.
what lies in the shadow of the statue? ille qui nos omnes servabit (he who will svae/protect us all). this has to mean jacob. the biblical jacob has faith in the goodness of man and the beauty and gift of free will. he was a simple spiritual man, “staying among the tents.” esau, his twin brother and eventual enemy who vowed to kill him, had no faith in man and saw them as greedy power hungry fools. he was a hunter, and a savage murderer. his own greed and obsession with revenge ended up being his downfall.
If the hydrogen bomb is supposedly what destroyed the statue then why/how is Radzinksy or any other member around to push the button and finish all the hatches. A blast big enough to destroy a statue of that size would surely kill any humans around
You’re thinking of a blast that mushrooms upwards; think of the blast being sucked downwards. No radiation escaped that hole, but the implosion shook the island. Radzinsky jumped out of the jeep, and survived to build the Swan.
Well if it was sucked downwards, it still doesn’t explain the speculation surrounding the statue being destroyed. I guess if all of that energy was diverted downward some sort of small earthquake could have happened which might shake the statue enough to break off the top part?
In the episode finale of season 2, Ben asked Michael “You know how to drive a boat?”
“Yeah, I can drive a boat,” Michael says.
“Good, then you’re going to take this boat and follow a compass bearing of 325 and if you do that exactly, you and your son will find rescue.”
Several months later, Frank Lapidis looks at a piece of paper taped to a console and messes with the instruments. Sayid asks what the paper is and Frank looks at it again. It shows North, South, East, and West and says 40 miles N @ 305 degrees. 7 K East. Below that is a crude drawing of a boat, and an arrow. “It’s a cheat sheet Faraday drew for me,” Frank says.
When the captain gives Sayid the boat to return to the island, he says stay on a heading of 320 degrees.
A 20 degree difference??????????????????????????
Is the island is rotating? Is this the source of the electromagnetic power. Extensive research has been conducted on this phenomenon.
http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0741-3335/48/5A/S07
You’re all assuming certain things:
A. The nuc was indeed detonated and caused the “incident.”
B. The Blast from the nuc destroyed the statue but didnt kill many or all people.
C. The statue hadn’t already been knocked down ages before…perhaps during the incident we know nothing of…when the ‘black rock” was sucked to the center of the island by a massive magnetic episode.
We just can’t know until the final season.
What i’d like is speculation on what happens to Jacob, and if he knew all along he had to die to unite “the family” (as in…”they’re coming”). Surely he understood Bens nature and almost begged for Bens reaction after his “what about you?” response. why did he need Ilanas help? And will be be re-incarnated? is that what “candidate” means, as in a male island dweller with a body Jacob can inhabit?
What’s the significance of these numbers? 4 8 15 16 23 42
The numbers were being punched on to the hatch like a serial number.. (as hurley watches)
How does that become the code that has to be entered on the machine in the hatch years later?
What does it have to do with hurley’s lottery ticket?
Check out this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sh/47743274/
And this one to a lesser extent (it’s the 1st thing that came up when I Googled the numbers): http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4+8+15+16+23+42&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GPEA_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&gl=us&ei=G89USvaEMpG2sgPvyeSZDw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1
what was the original idea with the ‘tailiee’ charecter libby in season 2, was there any reason for her axing? as there seemed to be a storyline going where she was in the same hospital as hurley but then nothing else came of the story, any reason?
in the season 4 episode where bens daughter dies and claires house is shot with the rocket….sawyer comments “she got her bell rung but she’ll live” to which miles responded “you sure?” later claire says something like “at least im not still seeing ghosts’ to which miles said something like “oh yeah tell us more” in a somewhat sarcastic tone. i think both his comments were very mild hidden forshadowing for claires future. i now agree she may be dead. we’ll surely find out season 6, but the lost writers have a reason for everything and miles comments must be taken seriously. any ideas?
Wow. I am impressed with your analysis. I would not be surprised if you were correct about the biblical Jacob and his Egyptian bondage compared to our Jacob and the losties. It makes the list from season 3 make complete sense.
just a quick one really, how do we know that the person jacob was talking to at the beginning of the finale, was not just the black smoke that had taken the form of someone jacob once knew? it doesnt have to be an actual person, maybe just jacob against the black smoke?
But just what is the black smoke?
the islands security system? like the producers said, some things will not be completely explained, just like in star wars with ‘the force’ we just took it that it was an higher power but it was never explained how it worked and stuff
Let’s open another discussion.. What is everyone’s opinion on what the opening sequence will be for this season’s premiere?
david good question ive been pondering that since may 14th.
the producers said viewers can expect to be completely confused initially during the season 6 premiere. we’l have little or no understanding of what’s going on.
what i want…is for everyone to be back. charlie, boon, shannon, ecko, juliet, charlotte, even ethan and and dead others.
good news: all 4 of these characters have been in talks with the produers over lunches in La or dinners in london, etc. will they visit as ghosts? will the “incident” reset the past (or future) and bring them back? i miss them, and look forward to seeing them again. they’re part of the family.
“libby” however is still so angry she was killed off during season 2 that she refues to come back. her stubborn revenge stance reminds me of the biblical esau (minus the murderous rage).
I believe that Esau is the Smoke Monster! Here are several reasons, especially from the episode, in which Ben confronts the monster.
The monster doesn’t show up, because it’s already there (as False-Locke).
And then, Ben falls through the hole, down in the ancient room. “Locke” goes away and suddenly the monster shows up! Later transforms into Alex and as soon as Alex vanishes, Locke shows up again!
We also know, that the monster can transform into persons, as Esau\False-Lock did.
When Jack was still held captive in the cages, I remember that there were adults and children walking past him and asking him questions especially regarding Ana Lucia. I recall the woman was the stewardess from the plain who gave Jack the free liquor and the two children were the one’s who were kidnapped I believe in season three. What happened to all of those people that were snatched on the beach and I still don’t see explanations behind taking the kids.
FYI: this website contains a comprehensive article about Smokey, and is well worth the read.
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Monster
And to answer the question about the kidnapped children, one of the Others, Tom, said that it was to give them a better life.
I found this site listing the ship’s manifest for the Black Rock. It’s interesting, but is it Canon or fake?
http://www.onentofl.com/magnushanso.html
Wow, that’s certainly interesting. What is a ship from England doing in the Pacific? Also noticed some of the names from the show but I also noticed some names from Heroes, Linderman, Adam Monroe. Interesting.
but that is not verified. how in the world can we be certain where it came from, and especially who was on it?
Well, hopefully we will find out. I personally think it’s the oceanic 6. They were propelled into that time with the event. LOL!!
wow. daniel miles richard (i assumed thats when he arrived) 2 widmores likely charles’ ancestors…
you guys hear the rumors that all the cast members who have died are coming back? and that matthew fox said the finale of the series will be so moving that he gets overwhelmed just thinking of it? this after claiming he’s the only cast member who knows how the show will end.
im excited.
i believe filming for lost season 6 began this week in hawaii? 22nd, 26th…i heard around that time filming was scheduled to commence. im very much looking forward to the final act. i do not believe it will disappoint.
exciting news for LOST fans!!
This Saturday, September 12, 2009 in Anaheim, CA, LOST cast members are going to be making a public appearance at Disney’s D23 Convention; additionally some really fantastic pieces of LOST history are going to be on display- including Kate’s toy plane, Hurley’s winning lottery ticket, Locke’s hunting knife, Sawyer’s letter and many other surprises! These items will be on view Thursday September 10 through Sunday, September 13, the entire weekend of D23, and will be up for auction after the series finale in May of 2010.
Look for the guys in the Dharma suits! For the full story, go to profilesinhistory.com
did you guys hear about the big auction after the series finale next year???
check out profilesinhistory.com for the news!
I want Lockes knife. and Kates plane. or kate herself if shes being auctioned. dominic wouldnt mind.
i cant wait to see richards backstory. he’s a regular now, to appear in 16 episodes. dominic will be in 3. ecko may be back. will jacob be back? the comment “maybe hes a candidate” by bram and llana….the need a new jacob, jacob new this was coming all along right? he was prepared. thats why he went to llana (with gloves on as to not “touch” anyone and said “i need you.” ok enough rant. just sharing ideas.
I think Lapidis is going to be a candidate for the new Jacob. Jacob is supposed to be the morally righteous and upstanding man in the Bible, and he appears to be this way in the finale as well. Lapidis is the one character in the show that hasn’t shown any sign of immorality, evil, or flat-out dislikable actions. It makes perfect sense he would become the new Jacob (if a new Jacob is on the way)
We’re getting closer. month and change until season 5 dvd release, 2 and change until season 6. i will miss this series when it ends. but until then…
will the true locke be back? jacob perhaps re-incarnated through one of our losties? aaron and walt may return aged?
im looking forward to richards backstory and why he was chosen by jacob to advise the “others’ leaders over time. we know charles widmore, ellois, ben, then very briefly locke as the previous 4. who came before, and who comes next? religiously and spiritually, what are the producers trying to tell us? why did matthew fox say in an interview that the season 6 finale would be overwhelming, sad, joyous, that the show could not possibly continue because it will offer complete closure, etc. whats in store guys?
