Jacob has a touching problem

In each flashback, one way or another, jacob manages to touch or come in contact with the respected character( aside from juliet )

-Presumably brings locke back to life after he falls out the window, hand on shoulder
-touches hurley’s shoulder when he leave the cab
-pokes kate’s nose
-touches sawyers hand as he hands him a pencil
– Touches jack’s hand as he gives him his candy bar.

This brings me to a few points,
a. Why does he touch everyone, what purpose does it serve if any?
b. Why does he not come in contact with juliet, could she serve as “the variable” for “the incident”

  1. Forgot to mention, he also touches Sun and Jin at their wedding, as well as sayid right before his wife gets mercd.

    Also notable, He gives something everyone Sawyer – Pen
    Locke – Life
    Kate – Lunch Box
    Jack – Apollo Bar
    Hurley – Guitar
    Sun / Jin – a blessing
    Sayid – A dead wife

  2. also sayid is a pimp. he woulda stopped the car with his breakdance fighting moves. or tackld nadia out of the way and died himself

  3. i did notice the whole touching thing with Jacob… along with that did you also get the feeling that he visited them all in a time of emotional stress???
    Kate: her first bout with criminal activity
    Sawyer: death of his parents
    Jin & Sun: marriage
    Jack: almost killing his patient
    Hurley: getting out of jail thinking someone was after him
    Locke: falling out a 3 or 4 story building

    i think it also means something that it did not show him meeting Juliet…. why???? was she on the other side this whole time???

  4. The divorce of Juliet’s parents is a major reason for the things that happened last night. Maybe if Jacob had shown up around that time to reassure her things would have turned out differently. Maybe Juliet could ask him too… “What about me?”

  5. I mean, she had the same issue as Ben. Her faith was tested and she failed. She lost her faith. Ben lost his faith in Jacob because Jacob ignored him. Juliet lost her faith in Sawyer/Love because Jacob ignored her.

  6. Foolishgoiter, Jacob saved and touched nine people.

    It was very symbolic and reminiscent of being ‘touched by the hand of God’. Or, ‘The Chosen Ones’.

    Whichever, your interpretation.

  7. OMG Julietslover!!! I think your onto something. I have though something was off with Juliet for the longest time. That’s how the ‘change’ happened. Juliet was working for the other side the entire time.

    When she set off the bomb, she made the change b/c she switched sides. Jacob selected the losties so they could reach Juliet.

    Faith finally won out for Juliet over science.
