@itsdesmondbrutha: Yes, this is a very good point…my actual belief is that MiB and Jacob are somehow related to ancient Egyptian times, but I have no proof of this so I sort of concocted this theory based on what seemed feasible…However, we are assuming that UnLocke told the truth to Sawyer about Of Men and Mice…(btw, read that book in hs and I hated it – lol)

@brc9876: Yes, it is true that I am assuming what was shown as Jacob touching the Losties was the first time in each case. I don’t really have a reason to believe otherwise, but if you do, I’d love to hear it… Judging from the lighthouse, maybe the fact that Jacob was even watching them was enough to influence the Losties regardless of when in life he touched them? Just a thought.

A lot of your reasoning seems to assume that the clips they showed of Jacob touching the losties was the first time he had touched them, which we can’t be sure of. Also, Jacob could have touched other people in the lives of the losties, thus indirectly affecting their lives as well. For example, if Jacob touched Hurley’s mom, it could have changed her such that she raised Hurley a little differently, thus affecting Hurley’s life.

Basically, I thought your Y-branch theory was correct, but then you went on to disprove it by making the assumptions I am referring to.

Very interesting though!

I was thinking like this and I was also thinking of writing a theory on my thoughts, I have a little something that needs brewing in the mind…

Oh ok that makes sense now.I started watching Lost on dvd at the end of the 4th season and then watched the 4th season in time to start watching the 5th season during original air time. Lets just say I had Lost overload. I can tell you that if you think its hard waiting from week to week to see a new episode now,imagine how the people that have been watching it from episode 1 feel.Nice theory!

Ilana also knew where the secret passage out of the temple was at. I think she will provide us with more trustworthy information about what the island is and what this has been all about more than anyone else.

I like the idea that Jacob and MIB are ageless because they have moved back through time – but I’m not sure its accurate. When Sawyer asked Flocke if he had ever read “Of Mice and Men”, Flocke’s response was “No…its a little past my time.” It seems to indicate he’s from the past – not the future.

Good theory and nice creative ideas. I’m still sticking to the more logical case of the bodies in the cave being Rose and Bernard. It was never clarified if they came forward in time with the explosion of Jughead in The Incident.

@ foreverpuzzled: I meant I initially thought that Jacob and MiB were brothers and the Adam and Eve bodies were of their parents..but then I revised it to think that the bodies were just of Jack and Claire (not as mother and father)…Jack being the father of MiB and Claire the mother of Jacob…leaving Jacob and MiB as cousins not brothers..sorry for the confusion!

@ A.E.S: I don’t always believe it myself, but I had to share so other people could tell me if I’m just crazy, or maybe on to something! hah!

@ username: I couldn’t agree more!! I’ve left out the parts about the Egyptian hieroglyphics…but I have some theories about that too.. Before I came up with the theory I posted above, I was totally hung up on the idea that the smoke monster was subservient to Jacob…and I base this off the picture (I think above the donkey wheel?) that depicts an Egyptian figure with the head of a ..(oh god! can’t remember) was it a jackal? Or some such animal..anyways, the figure looked like Anubis or Horus or some such mythological deity (sorry for my lack of research right about now – hah!) sitting with a palm-up-towards-the-sky gesture summoning the smoke monster. (I’m assuming Jacob is the figure – but NOW I think it’s someone greater than him..) This is honestly what the engraving looked like. So I figured smokey was Jacob’s servant…but everyone now “knows” that smokey is MiB and that MiB and Jacob are rivals..so I don’t know anymore about the slave/owner relationship I was thinking about. Although, interestingly…slaves were brought to the island on the Black Rock? Or were they..HMMM…

Well, I definitely do not want to underplay the importance of the Egyptian influence in this show, and I think the Egyptian “explanation” will be the big answer everyone is now speculating is alien-related..haha. Lastly, I have a feeling Ilana knows everything we want to know..did anyone realize she knew EVERYTHING the others didn’t?
For example, Ilana knew who Jacob was when he approached her off the island when no one else did, Ilana cried when Jacob died, and Ilana knew where the statue was/directions to get there from the cabin after she lit it on fire…additionally, she knew all about the candidates..why is she the only one who seems to know everything Jacob left behind…..I’m dying to hear anyone’s thoughts on her!!!!!

Anything is possible at this stage but i think people are over thinking about jack having a son (David).

Aaron can have some connection with the island because he was born there and all. But i hardly think David will have anything to do with this.

I could be wrong though.

Great ideas. I’m still leaning on Jacob and MIB being at least a couple of thousand years old. Quite possibly from Egyptian times. MIB did say he was once a man. They mythology is still there to deal with, especially all the hieroglyphics. MIB’s promises seem akin to the devils promise to Jesus in the desert where he promised Jesus anything he wanted in exchange for giving up on humanity.
