The Return Of LOST and Beyond

[Levian]

This show pretty much consists of spoilers though I never look up anything about Lost if there's a new episode out that I haven't seen.

The day Locke dies I stop watching this

More stuff I've theorized about Jacob (relating to him being the island's spirit), *no spoilers from episodes that have not been aired*:

Remember the black powder that Locke saw before they arrived at the house? I thought it was gunpowder at first, but perhaps it is actually the black smoke monster? They could be iron filaments that are being controlled by the electro-magnetic forces on the island (which in turn, may be being controlled by Jacob).

Richard, the guy who isn't aging, is a hallucination created by Jacob. Richard never seems to talk to more than one person at a time, so he may be a hallucination, just like Kate's horse, Ben's mother, Jack's dad, and so on.

Something else interesting, when Ben is talking to Jacob, Locke cannot see him. However, when Locke hears "help me," and turns around, he sees Jacob sitting in the chair for a split second.

Jacob also could be the cause of the whispers in the forest. The whispers always lead people, mostly to their death's, or Ben across the fence to the hallucination of his mother.

From Lostpedia.com:

In Jewish history, the tribe of Benjamin's women and children were all killed, and the remaining members of the tribe could not longer proliferate. The historical solution they came up with was to kill the men from another sub-tribe and take their women and children. Women are unable to carry to term on the island, and the Others have been taking women and children from Flight 815.

Also, the name of the previous episode was Man Behind the Curtain. Possible reference to Wizard of Oz? If so, perhaps Jacob was just another one of Ben's mind games?

[Roto13]

It's most definitely a reference to The Wizard of Oz, but the man behind the curtain is probably Jacob himself rather than Ben.

That's what I mean. The Wizard of Oz turned out to be a hoax in the end of the movie, remember? So perhaps Jacob is a hoax made by Ben?

[Del Murder]

Then how would you explain the stuff Locke saw and heard? More trippyness?

[Roto13]

"The man behind the curtain" was the guy who was behind the person everyone thought was in charge. Everyone thought Ben was in charge. Jacob is supposedly controlling him. Jacob would be the man behind the curtain here.

[McLovin']

A new DHARMA station has been revealed. (SPOILER) "The Looking Glass"

[Laddy]

What are the names again? We can maybe get some ideas with them.

[Kirobaito]

The Swan
The Pearl
The Hydra
The Flame
The Looking Glass

[Laddy]

The Arrow
The Medical Cross thingy, I forgot what it was called.

The Staff.

[Kirobaito]

The end of this season has been, in my opinion, the best that Lost has offered. I can't wait for next week. It's gonna be incredible.

[Moon Rabbits]

Yes, I agree with Kirobaito, I've been getting consistently more excited for the finale with every episode.

And this one, oh my god, it was beautiful. It set up everything so perfectly. When Carl (Karl?) came running up the beach and was all "they're coming right now!" I was all "yesss."

Also, when Carl rats Juliette out, and she replies "They know already, but thanks, Carl." was priceless. Also, when Carl pulls out the gun, Hurley's reaction was great.

[Laddy]

I agree as well, the episode was beautiful and has defined Lost. I can't wait for the finale! Oh, and it stars Jack, ugh, nothing personal, but I'm sick of his episodes.
