I have officially figured out the entire LOST show...

i have been a real slacker about this blog. i used to post a lot on it but as i accelerated my education (read that: took way too many classes at once), i couldn't really find time for this. It sucks because i seem to have a knack for figuring out this show, and also seem to be one some what of the same weirdo page as its creators (giving me some insight into where they might be going with various plot elements).

In any event, i have officially figured out the rest of the show. i figured it all out last night. There are some minor details that might be flawed, but within the following you will find out what is going on with the rest of the plot... Be prepared:

First of all the easy stuff: Jack's dad obviously isn't Jack's dad. His dad is his dad, of course, but the guy that has been cruising around the island is not Jack's dad, it's Jacob. i'm 100% about this. Don't try to argue about it.



Perhaps, and this is just a guess (i.e. i'm NOT sure about this), perhaps the body of Jack's dad has been somehow employed or possessed by Jacob. i can't tell you for certain yet, but i do know that last night it was Jacob talking to Locke in the Orchid cave.

So why did he say that he couldn't help Locke up?

For the same reason Ben wasn't supposed to turn the "Dharma Wheel" ala the Maitriya. This was for John to do all alone. Jacob "could" have helped the same way that he helped Locke when Ben shot him, but he didn't this time because he "couldn't."



Now don't hold me to this bodily possession idea. It could just be that Jacob is taking on the form of various folks around the island, just like he did with Walt when he helped Locke after being shot. Still, i can't imagine why this form of Jack's dad would have been at all familiar to Locke (and thus why Jacob would have chosen it if it was not actually related to the corpse of Jack's father on the island).

But didn't he say to say hello to his son for him? Didn't this mean Jack?

No. It meant one of the following:

1. Desmond (i am leaning towards this), or
2. Faraday

i do not think that Faraday seems like Jacob's son, but i am fairly certain of some relationship of the white haired woman identified as Faraday's mother (last episode), with Jacob. Their speech about the island is identical (whereas either of their speech with Ben's is not). She also is not subordinate to Ben who should be ranking with Locke dead (for the time being).

So she's Faraday's mother and she is related to Jacob in some manner... But is Faraday Jacob's son? i don't think so. i do, however, think that Desmond is and THIS is why the "rules" of the island (as Faraday phrased it), do not apply to him. This is also why he was drawn to this island AND - MOST IMPORTANTLY - Mr. Whitmore KNOWS this and THAT is why he hates Desmond SO much and why he will absolutely not accept him with Penny; because he himself opposes Jacob and knows that Desmond is Jacob's son.



BAM!

Okay want more? Here's more:

So what about Richard? Where is he from? How old is he?

Richard is from ancient Egypt. i shit you not. Wait and see. Of course the actor himself has a thing for "Guy Liner" but this also fits with the ancient Egyptians... But is that all i have to substantiate my case? Of course not.



In the previews for next week, the white haired woman shows them some method by which the "original" travelers to the island "discovered" it. Remember the polar bear in the Sahara? Remember Ben popping up around North Africa Arabs? Yeah: Portal to Egypt... Okay portal to Tunisia but portal discovered by the Ancient Egyptians who then treked to Tunisia to said portal. Hey it would be a little too convenient for the Ancient Egyptians to coincidentally discover such a portal right in their own back yard now wouldn't it. Tunisia makes the story more believable. 



And yes this is why all of the most ancient facets of the island have authentic Egyptian hieroglyphics(no they do not just look like them, they actually are the real deal). The Ancient Egyptians traveled there, set up the temples, the "Dharma Wheel" (and whatever it is connected to), and Richard has been there ever since. Of course all of this is related to the old Colossus of Rhodes statue foot.



So who is Jacob? i have no idea yet. But like i said, i have basically figured out the rest of the plot to the show. No need to thank me.

From the perspective of Season 6 previews and Season 5 finale, yes, i failed in identifying Jacob as the shape-shifter. Since, at that time, we did not know there was another character (the shape-shifter), i thought that he was Jacob. In fact Ben and Locke called him Jacob in the cabin, so when i say in this post that i thought Christian was Jacob, at the time of writing i understood Jacob to be the man in the cabin. So in that sense, with the information we have at the time (about who was being called "Jacob"), i was spot on.

I'm just throwing someone out there....BTW I liked your thought process....all sounds good to me....so I think that Charlie is really Desmonds son. Why not? Look how "talk to the dead man" saw his father when they traveled back in time. What do you think? I know Charlie has a brother but I think that his brother has not been born yet. I also think that is why Desmond saw bad things that were going to happen to Charlie and felt compelled to save him/help him. What do you think?
