I’ll go read your theory and let you know somewhere.

(I think he represents ‘good’.)

Oh Jacob? hmmmmm…. I don’t think I really laid into the issue with specificity… I might need some more time to process that. I’ve been thinking about other things which I’ve gone into futher in the theory I just posted. I kind of hit the subject of Jacob there a little. What are your thoughts?

And boy do I ever have an opinion on Jacob, which I know people (myself included) have said so many things, i.e, “we don’t know that he’s ‘good’ or the one to trust…” I just think we had a key scene that made their point on it.

HB, I haven’t finished my coffee so I can’t remember…Have you weighed in yet w/your thoughts on him?

I can handle calling him Rival since we know:

a) He wanted to kill him and went to great lengths to get it done
b) The statements “Locke” made in his journey to find Jacob – “once he’s gone, everything will change…”, etc.
c) Their overall disagreeing perspectives they shared in the opening scene.

Sure, Rival implies opponent seeking to gain a victory or power of sorts…and we don’t know for sure what’s going on…but for now, it works for me. Whether he’s his rival, opposite, ‘counterbalance’ – whatever…he wanted to KILL him….not live in ‘agree to disagree’-harmony together.

Watched the episode again, btw. First time, Juliet/Sawyer scene was bummer but didn’t do anything for me…second time, a little more emotional. I love how she said “Sonofabitch” to end it.

Wow, that was unfortunate. In my last comment I meant to say the smoke monster killed the pilot, not Jack… geez.

“Rival”, as far as I can tell, started in the Lostpedia article and it seems to have stuck. I don’t like it though because we really don’t know if that’s the kind of relationship they really have.

I will say, you are correct on the John Locke seeming dead until touched by Jacob after the fall, I rewatched the scene, and noticed the same as you stated…

AES, I have stated on another post, that we cannot presume that between Jacob and his nemesis, who is good and who is not.

We’ve been done this road before with Ben & Widmore.

AES, great point about Widmore. I am on board with that one for sure!

I feel the reason the wanted to recruit Miles, may be in fact, because they knew something of Jacob and his impending death.

We cannot forget about the reason why the needed Miles, who can speak to the dead!

I get why they didnt tell Ben, but the only thing that makes sense then, is that they wanted Jacob to die…
