the statement about a character in a non-speaking role was sometime during season 2, I believe. We have also discussed that in other theories. Was it season 2 or 3 when we saw his dad for the first time?

I mentioned this on a lafleur post although my reasoning was much more speculative. Jacob , in biblical terms was the father of benjamin whose mother died giving birth. I would not be surprised if this was the case however it does contradi t the writers comments regarding who Jacob is.

This discusses the origins of the jacob/no speaking role rumor.

It’s from 2 days ago, you may have to copy and paste.

i thought that you were going to go with the jacob is bens father route when i started reading your theory… but…i think ben is afraid of people with more power than him…more specifically power than can easily and quickly use against them. no lostie or even richard really ever posed a threat to him (nor widmore for that matter), but both his father and jacob have direct authority over him.

Really. That doesn’t need to be in the theory anyways. I can remove it and the thoery still stands.

I don’t think you are too far out on a limb. I’m sure Dabs will jump in as this is something that she has been bringing up for all this Jacob talk, too.

To me, the conversation as Ben was taking Locke to see Anthony Cooper and bringing up the “box” took the powers of the island and possibly Jacob to a different level.

Benjamin Linus: “Let me put it so you’ll understand. Picture a box. You know something about boxes, don’t you John? What if I told you that, somewhere on this island, there is a very large box and whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it when you opened that box, there it would be? What would you say about that, John?”

This fact is not true? I’ll be glad to eat my words.

The writers have said that Jacob has been seen on the show, but not in a speaking role.
Here we go again. Look up this fact dude.
