I’m re-watching the S5 finale and I’ve thought up some more theories:
- Maybe Jacob and Esau (other guy) are the same. I don’t really like this theory but I might as well throw it out there.
- Esau is the (smoke) “monster”. He was also Ben’s daughter when she told him to follow Locke (obviously).
- Since Esau is the smoke monster what is Jacob’s power/ability? I think it’s time travel and the electro magnetism on the island. This gives him the ability summon ships and planes to the island.
- Jacob wants to prove Esau wrong (beginning of S5 finale), I think he wants to prove them wrong by showing them people can be selfless and have compassion–maybe something Esau doesn’t have. Esau did say they were destructive and conquering but Jacob talks about progress.
- Jacob recruited Elana and the new group to help him: going back to my last post I have a feeling one circumstance was to make sure Sayid came to the island. It makes sense he recruited help but never knew that Esau would use Locke’s form. That’s why Elana and the group never did anything about Locke when he was with them on the other island. Not until they found the body did they figure they had to do something.
- After re-watching the episode it’s obvious it was Locke in the box.
- It annoys me that Kate was always against the bomb but at the end she was fighting side by side. At least Juliet’s indecision was based on something.
- Locke never saw Jacob in the cabin, another obvious point, it was Esau mid plan to kill Jacob and manipulate Ben.
- Locke is and never was someone, in Richard’s words “there was nothing special about him”.
- Here’s a big one, why did Jacob not want Dan to go to the island? Remember he was picked up by the same group as Elana in the van. What did he do that Jacob wanted to prevent?
- Dharma ended up being an observation experiment for Jacob, maybe to prove something to Esau. That’s why they’re gated from the “monster”.
- Since Dharma is part of Jacob’s experiment I think the original Others are led by Esau more than Jacob. Even though Richard has that direct connection with Jacob. Maybe at some point Jacob just went into hiding while Esau took his place.
I still think the last season of the show will be about the real Jacob and the new events since the bomb. “New events” meaning: the bomb did change the course of the future/present.
Jacob can only influence through love.
Esau can only influence through anger or hate.
That’s why the whole love triangle influenced the events of the last season with the bomb and anger/hate influenced the killing of Jacob.
Jared just made me think a little bit about who is influencing who for the last 5 seasons, he thinks Jacob has been in the game for a while now but I’m thinking everything up until the last 2 minutes of the finale (including the previous seasons) has been an elaborate scheme by Esua (who Locke is now) to kill Jacob. When I say everything I mean everything but the instances where you actually see Jacob influencing in the S5 finale.
I believe that Jacob was influencing the losties in the last episode in order to –reverse– the current timeline that they’re on, with one exception (get to that after). The only way for Jacob not to be killed at the end of S5 is for the losties to never arrive at the island. I’m basing this off of how Jacob influenced in the last episode and how the writers love to bring in a character’s past influences to explain their current decision.
- Sawyer: Jacob influenced him to continue his vengefulness by allowing him to continue to write to (the original Sawyer). Otherwise, “what’s done is done” could have influenced him enough to not change his mind and help Jack. This one is a stretch but the whole theory is.
- Jack and Kate: Not sure if there’s a direct influence but it’s the little things that could have helped them make their decisions about the bomb.
- Juliet: I don’t remember Jacob in Juliet’s but her flashback showed she needed to let go of Sawyer (literally)
- Hurley: pretty much single handedly pushed Hurley back to the island.
Hurley’s was the big one for me since I asked myself “why would Jacob want Hurley and these losties back”, obviously (IMO) to reverse the past to change the future.
Basically, I believe:
Esua made up the entire plan to kill Jacob around the time Ben arrived, he influenced Desmond to not push the button (I’m thinking Esua was Kelvin), the plane crashes, he then orchestrates the entire scheme behind Locke and Ben.
At the same time, Jacob sees Esua’s influence towards the end and creates some counter measures in order to change the present by correcting the past. I also, think at the same time he’s set a plan to kill Esua if he is killed, by gathering the “what lays in the shadow” group.
My theory about S6-Esua will be killed within the first episode by Richard or the new group.
update:
I’m thinking now that the reason Jacob wasn’t so direct in influencing some of the characters (Jack, Kate and Sawyer) was because at the time of his visit he didn’t know the entire endgame. That makes sense why he doesn’t just let Locke die. But when he visits Hurley he knows he needs them all to be in the past to detonate that bomb.
Also, notice how Jacob visited the people that he needed in the past? Further backing up my theory about him needing them in the past to change the “incident”. And that’s why Sun and Ben were left behind, which were part of Esau’s plan.
I’m going to just give a rundown of my thoughts on Lost’s 4th season and some overall theories running through my mind.
Jack is the “chosen” one, or the person that should have replaced Ben -
“Bad things happened after [Jack] left”. I’m guessing Locke came back to find Jack and Kate for two reasons:
To save the island he needs Jack to return. Jack is a real leader and he seems to have a bigger connection with the island compared to Locke, it’s hidden by Jack’s denial and Locke’s passion but after some gestures by Jack at the end of the final it seems he knows what the island can do. Example: Jack denying Locke could move the island when hurley brought it up at the end of the finale; seems to me like Jack knows more than he lets on.
Jack is in the family tree. I believe that his dad has a huge spiritual part of the island and it’s getting more apparent with him showing himself to Micheal–who’s never seen him–. The other two in the family tree: Claire and Aaron.
So Locke not only needs Jack back, to lead the island, but Aaron as well to me the islands future.
I agree with the wormhole theory from popular mechanics.
To make physics sense of the movement of the island in Lost, I assume that the island is actually connected to the South Pacific by a wormhole-like warp in space-time. (It doesn’t have to be a simple worm hole; it could be a warren of parallel and intersecting tubes.) Then, to move the island, all you have to do is move the wormhole connection, not the island itself. That’s what I think Ben did. He changed the nature of the space-time connection between the island and the rest of the world.
So the island didn’t disappear. It didn’t even move. Imagine that you are visiting a small town that you used to visit when you were young. You drive for miles, and never come to it. But it turns out the town has not moved. Rather, the highway now goes around it. That’s what Ben did—he changed the highway.
Jin will meet up with Farriday on the boat and they will eventually find the isand after some time passes and they pass the door.
Hurley is truely insane–off the island–but with the island’s healing powers he’s fine. A crackpot theory: Hurley has abilities like Miles and he can’t control it, on the island he can control it.
– Hopefully the others come back to me.
I have some theories about the show that Jared has covered and some he hasn’t.
Jacob:
- Jacob is the island or the island is Jacob. I’m thinking the later since Ben does did say he’s doing things for the island and Jacob told him these things.
- Jacob told Locke to “help me” which I believe meant save me the island from the impeding ruin.
- Jacob is what he want’s you to see. He’s the horse, Jack’s Dad and now Walt. That is why Locke didn’t see Ben’s Jacob.
The island:
My overall theory of what the island holds a lot of special abilities but the main one includes a sud-o fountain of youth which is what Dharma was after and now Whidmore primarily wants (more later). There are a few things that help or go along with this theory about the fountain of youth.
- The story is old, so old that the some of the early founders could have built that statue to glorify it. That statue could be a statue of Jacob, of course not the jacob we see since he’d have 5 toes instead of 4.
- The children are taken to protect them, like Ben said. Protecting them from either another force on the island or the island’s population control…
Smoke Monster:
- I think the smoke monster is controlled by Jacob and is the grainy sand stuff outside the hut that Locke looked so closely at.
- I also think the smoke monster is part of the population control that goes with the premise of the fountain of youth. Since no one can die it deems if people are acceptable enough to live either for ever or an extended period and also reep in the rewards of the mythical island.
Show:
I think the rest of the show will play out from the current time and have flashbacks to the past (2003) on the island. This lends to the production moving to L.A.. I’m not sure about this move because the island is the show and is the entire plot of the story.
Future/Present Time:
The reason for Jack was so upset because it was Locke who died. And the reason for him to be so upset was becuase John believed in the island. He wanted to keep the island a secret as Ben did and knew that it should be kept a secret, John helped the island.
My theory for future episodes on how it will play out:
Widmore is on the ship, they come to destroy the island and fight against the inhabitants which includes the “others” and Locke. Jack and the other cast-a-ways help with that struggle against the “others” effectively helping the truly bad people the Whidmore corporation.
The Whidmore corp. in return helps out the castaways. Gives Kate and Sawyer some kind of pardon and who knows what else for the others.
I do think Kate had Sawyers kid and is with him now. The reason for not dying from the pregnancy was because they got off the island or Whidmore helped destroy the island enough to not let the island kill the mothers and pregnancy.
As you can tell the episode revealed a lot to me. And I’m getting a lot of it by listening to Ben and actually believing what he’s saying is true, in the past we was the master manipulator but I think the writers are trying to play that angle when they actually are revealing a lot.
 Notice how everyone on that island had daddy issues:
- Kate
- Jack
- Ben
- Hurley
- Sun
- Claire
- Sawyer
- …
One the left you’ll see that there are three deceased listings the second has a 4 letter first name and a 5 letter last name.
J-O-H-N  L-O-C-K-E
Maybe…I’m willing to bet that it’s Locke in that casket since it goes with my plot theory but I’m positive that the paper although cleverly has the correct number of letters does not have the printed name. Since if that secret where to get out by the actors or the production crew it would blow the mystery.
My theory to why pregnancies are not coming to term on the island:
The baby inside the mother is growing at a different rate than the mother is growing the uterus/womb for the baby.
How:
- We already know that the natives on the island either don’t age or have longer lives so it could be the baby has that life extension and grows much slower which cases the complication. This would mean the “natives” aren’t actually natives or born on the island.
- Or the baby may not be effected at all and the baby is growing too fast.
The baby could not be affected by the aging within the womb or
