Rose and Bernard

So I just read over another theory and it struck me odd about those two. In the season finale we see Rose and Bernard living on their own in the jungle by the beach. Now how did they get there? Where are the other like 60 people that flashed through different times and stuff? Did anyone notice the similarities they had between Jacob and MIB? Rose talk about all “they” did was blow stuff up. Like man in black, and Bernard offered Juliet a choice to stay instead of going off to her doom just like Jacob did ya know? Always giving choices. Maybe it wasn’t really rose and bernard just jacob and mib? I mean that would explain a lot. Them not being seen for three years and all the dharma food that shouldn’t of been there.

  1. Interesting thought, but I don’t think that’s quite it (Though I do think Rose and Bernard play some part in this).. I say this because we assume Jacob’s nemesis needs to control a new body other than the one in the opening scene in order to kill Jacob. Also, we see Jacob has the same body in the opening scene as he does in the finale. While we don’t know when the opening scene takes place, if your theory’s accurate, that would suggest the opening scene of LOST’s season five finale took place AFTER the 70’s Dharmaville part of season five takes place, because that’s where Rose and Bernard are at. That gives us at least thirty years to work with. Thirty years in which at sometime the opening scene takes place. Now, for a number of reasons, I don’t think the events seen could have taken place then, and said reasons are the following:

    1. There was activity on the island in those years. Obviously, the DHARMA folks were still there for a while because they made the Orientation videos mentioning the incident. The others are also here. There’s of course the possibility that by blowing up the bomb (if she actually blew it up) Juliet still prevented the incident, but this being LOST, anything’s possible.. But in that, if there were no people, that’d actually explain why Jacob goes around visiting the LOST folks stearing them towards coming to the island..

    2. The statue’s still a whole statue in the opening scene.

    3. The boat on the horizon is wood, instead of the usual metal.

    Now, those reasons, especially the second, suggest Jacob and his nemesis had the conversation they had before the Dharma folks showed up, or at least before Sawyer, Juliet, etc arrived in the 70’s. However; He exists in the same body as the opening scenes years after Rose and Bernard in the 70’s..

    Nice theory though.

  2. Interesting idea. But I just think the writers were trying to write a satisfactory ending to the Rose and Bernard arc of the show. Bernard offered Juliet tea because it was the polite thing to do, not as some kind of life choice.

    I really think that was their swan song, just as the Penny and Desmond scene at the hospital was their happy ending swan song.

    Before going on to a conclusion in season six they decided to clean house and get rid of important but now extraneous characters the way they did by killing off most of Ben’s people at the end of season three and the tailies at the end of season two and begining of season three.

    As for the ‘other sixty’ I think almost all of them went the way of Frogurt. They were hunted down and killed by the 1954 Richard clan or the 1974 Richard clan or the Dharma initiative people. Maybe a few just walked into the sonic fence without knowing what it was.

  3. I would like to see Desmond and Penny again. But it does seem like a “swan song,” they ended up together, with a baby, what else can the writers do with them?

  4. I too think the Rose and Bernard scence was nothing more than a goodbye to those characters, who I really don’t think had that much of role on the island anyway. in fact, all of the tail section characters, except perhaps for Eko, i feel weren’t THAT important. most of them are dead! But yeah, all season I was really waiting to see the other survivors. I mean, only the main characters joined the Dharma Initiative, and everyone “kinda forgot” about the others, but i always thought they would make a comeback. Eh. anyway, fitting end for them. i really think so. they imparted some last bit of wisdom to our Losties, that “still trying to find ways to shoot each other” line was really humorous, if in a dark way.

    And i don’t believe we’ve seen the last of Desmond. He still has work. he is a very important character. Brotha.

  5. I agree about Desmond–Eloise told him (I can’t remember which season) that ending up happy with Penny wasn’t his destiny. And she said in the Lampost that he had to come back to the island. Even though he stormed off and said he was never going back, I don’t think that’s the end of him. I do agree with your idea on Rose and Bernard, Andre7, that they’ve been written out of the show.
