First, not to nit-pick Prof... but Anubis wasn't god of the dead, Osiris was. Anubis was the caretaker of the dead... led the souls through the afterlife, testing their faith and taking them to their judgment... seems extremely appropriate in light of recent events...

That's what I meant. Wink

Ra!

Eleri's Crazy Lost Theory #102- Jacob is Jack.

Something in his involvement with The Incident has significantly unforseen effects. He could be radiation burned, caught in a quantum not here/not there state, something that keeps him from being generally visible. The Incident has changed him, made him part of the Island... but it might not be a pleasant existence.

Potential evidence:
~The two 'messengers' we've seen so far are Christian and Claire; they're Jack's blood relatives on the Island.
~The two physical closeups of Jacob we've seen are a bloodshot, crazed eye, echoing the opening shot we've had of Jack's eye, twice.
~He asks Locke to "Help him". Jack would know that Locke wouldn't qualm at doing what needed to be done to help...maybe even by killing him?
~Richard is very uneasy about taking Locke to see Jacob. Could it be because Richard knows it is Jack, and doesn't want Locke to know?
~Jack would know the lists, and why people needed to be on them.

Potential conflicts:
~Jacob is mentioned in both 1954 and 1977, prior to the Incident... but given the sheer potential for time to get messed up on the Island, it isn't a deal breaker.
~How does this tie into the multiple references to "Him" as 'brilliant' or 'magnificent'.

Now, there's a bunch of this on Lostpedia already, so I'm not the first person to come up with this idea, by any stretch, but I think what we've seen in the last few episodes, and the potential of the season finale, makes it a much more viable theory.

Kehra and I were discussing that theory a while back, but then stumbled upon a problem with that theory when I was browsing the Lost Spoilers site.

Not sure if you guys are wanting spoilers here though, so I'll refrain unless given the ok.

Has anyone seen my mind?

My mind appears to have been blown away...

Mmmmmmm, statue!

Hm.. so maybe Richard's not an original egyptian islander after all? I really want him to be.. I mean, come on! The eyeliner! XD

They retconned Jacob with a giant oversized crowbar in this episode, didn't they!

I read somewhere the other day that the people who created Lost, mentioned Myst by name as one of the things that inspired the writers of LOST.

Imagine that.....

Anybody participating in the Lost Rewatch? Led by Lostpedia with the cooperation of about 8 more sites. They provide the watch schedule and it's fun to read all the analyses of season 1 now that season 5 has finished. It really is like watching a new show. They just started this past week so you haven't missed much and they're just a teeny, weeny bit behind on their discussions anyway.

I hadn't heard of that! We've started the series over on rented DVD with a friend and have reached the 3rd disc of season one so far.
