I can't wait until January! aggghh! <br> <br>definitely think that "new" Locke is really the guy in the black shirt (aka, the black smoke monster). good vs evil thing. So interesting how everything is playing out. But way too much to answer in ONE season left! real curious about aliana's role and Lapidus' role. so many twists and turns to keep up with! <br> <br>Have you read any of the LOST blogs that are out there? They have some pretty interesting theories. Along with your recap, i usually read these every Thursday after LOST!: <br> <a href="http://www.filmfodder.com/tv/lost/" rel="nofollow">http://www.filmfodder.com/tv/lost/</a> <a href="http://darkufo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://darkufo.blogspot.com/</a> <a href="http://www.lostaddictsblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lostaddictsblog.com/</a>Aubreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-64317114480856319532009-05-15T06:40:57.000+01:002009-05-15T06:40:57.000+01:00The ship at the beginning was the Black Rock - the...The ship at the beginning was the Black Rock - the same ship that ends up wrecked on the Island. <br> <br>I can't believe we have to wait until JANUARY for the next season!Rebekahhttp://mundanemusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-9616795420723284882009-05-15T05:27:31.000+01:002009-05-15T05:27:31.000+01:00I am leaning more back toward Jesus and Satan. To...I am leaning more back toward Jesus and Satan. Too many things fit that. First, He who saves us all in the shadow of the statue. Jesus saves us all. Second, the other character wants to kill Jacob but can't. Satan has always tried to defeat God, but can't on his own. Even in the crucifixion, the emotions and fears of others were manipulated to try and destroy Jesus. Third, several times Jacob speaks of free will being a necessity. Not sure, just seems to fit, although the Jacob and Esau idea is interesting as well. My only other addition is that you ask why Jacob lives in the statue but has been in the cabin every other time. I don't think he has. I think the one in the cabin has been manifestations of the Esau guy all the time. John has not been hearing or seeing Jacob or the Island, he has been seeing and following Esau. The party went to the cabin and into it very cautiously. Illiana had her gun drawn when she went in. I do not think she would have been concerned if she was there to see Jacob. I think Jacob has been in the statue the whole time, but the leaders listened to their own wants and desires to find Jacob in the shack more than their advisors (Richard). All I know is that I do not know if I can wait for 7 months.TStricklandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-27137363506354692352009-05-14T16:50:19.000+01:002009-05-14T16:50:19.000+01:00I have just a couple of things. First, its not suc...I have just a couple of things. First, its not such a big deal really...buuut you didn't mention the Jacob-Esau theory was mine...just sayin - love ya babe :-). I have been thinking this for some time - I just wanted to see how things played out more. I think that the guy in the black shirt at the beginning of the episode was Esau and that the "Locke" that had Ben kill Jacob was a manifestation of Esau. I also find it interesting that the Esau-Locke character and Ben have so much in common. They both have the jealous "what about me" type of attitude and both say something to the effect of "you have no idea what I have been through" or "done". Also, in the Bible Esau wanted to kill Jacob...right (which also parallels the Cane and Abel thing)? I think the loophole is that the Esau character couldn't kill Jacob himself, but had to get someone else to do it (kind of like the real Locke with his father)...maybe specifically a leader of the others. Ben becomes the loophole which is ironic since he and the Esau-John character seem so similar. Second, when Ben says his "what about me" line all Jacob says is "what about you!"...it seems to me here that Jacob was almost trying to provoke Ben. He obviously knows about the loophole. I think it is interesting that the new John (again...really Esau?) had a different kind of attitude - a calmness that we might say was really jealousy and arrogance. All through the show I kept thinking that Jacob had a really calm attitude also - what may be either passivity or one of confident assurance - depending on one's interpretation. Like I said, Jacob knows about the loophole and seemed to know what was coming - but its really like he let Ben kill him. This makes me think he knows something everyone else doesn't. My Jacob-Esau theory may not pan out - but its what I think right now.Bubbahttp://desperatetheologian.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-91238956747808930622009-05-14T18:50:00.000+01:002009-05-14T18:50:00.000+01:00I agree with Russ about the fake Locke being the g...I agree with Russ about the fake Locke being the guy originally on the island with Jacob. He did say he wanted to kill Jacob, and would keep looking for a loophole.... <br>Don't you think the ship they were watching was the Black Rock? <br>Am I crazy, or didn't they say "What lies in the shadow of the statue" before? Was it when Desmond arrived on the island?? <br> <br>Oh, my. How long do we have to wait until the next season (sniff...last season) starts???Amy Dare PWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-56961670779565333622009-05-15T03:32:26.000+01:002009-05-15T03:32:26.000+01:00@Amy - I think you're right about the fake Loc...@Amy - I think you're right about the fake Locke. Yes, we've heard the shadow of the statue question before but no one has been able to answer it. Should be starting the new season in January, 2010.LorelaiCC aka C.C.
