anyways, not that this has anything to do with anything, the answer Richard gives in Latin is “He who will save us All” and the thread that Jacob is making in the beginning of the episode reads in Greek something to the extent “What the God’s giveth, They can taketh away.” which is pretty interesting and probably deserves its own thread.

This saying comes from the Book of Job. Job was a righteous man who Satan challenged god saying he was only that way because his life was good. God accepts the challenge and lets Satan torment him by removing his wealth, killing his family members and plaguing him with boils etc. Job never blasphemes God, and in the end God rewards him even more so than he had previously. The interesting thing is, That it was always Locke who said his faith was being tested… like when he could not open the Hatch, so i find it somewhat strange that it is Locke (although the fake one) who ends up back in that room with Jacob. not sure this had anything to do with anything.

Lastly, Did anyone notice that when the show normally ends, as we have always seen it, its been a black background with the white lost logo and the noise, and when the season 5 finale ends it is the opposite? A white background with a somewhat black logo? I thought that was strange.

Then in the most recent episode with Jacob and Esau for lack of a name, notice Jacob is wearing a white shirt and Esau is wearing a black shirt.

I dont think Jacob is the bad guy because he tells linus despite what locke or Esau has told him he still has a choice… which is god’s thing… freewill.

Despite agreeing with the good evil thing i disagree with your egyptian theory that the statue is Taweret. I believe it is Anubis, Taweret has a big belly and no Ankh. Anubis was known for embalming and he was also the protector of the dead and carried the dead into the afterlife. Consequently he was also the one who would weigh the heart against the feather of truth or Judge… like the black smoke?? If you google Anubis, i think most would agree it is he and not Tawaret.

One thing i do find wierd is, Linus was judged by the black smoke, after which his daughter told him to do whatever Locke (esau) told him, which turns out to be, to kill jacob. Then again the smoke is black? not really sure what to make of it. Season 5 definately was awesome and I’m really looking forward to season 6.

You created a story that is believable and incorporated all the mythology, including how it directly references Lost!

You substantiated your claims. Whether this turns out to be the case, or not, you did a very good job at selling it! Kudos for that!

The writers have stated that we will need to know our bibliography for the final season.

I am certain they will use many metaphors and the symbolism will be worked into the story.

Nice work!
