Comments on: Jacob’s Intent http://www.theoriesonlost.com/2010/03/jacobs-intent/ A place to write and read Lost Theories Thu, 17 May 2012 19:43:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: AllGoodThings http://www.theoriesonlost.com/2010/03/jacobs-intent/#comment-31493 AllGoodThings Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:29:31 +0000 http://www.theoriesonlost.com/?p=11820#comment-31493 Ilie: tru tru. I can see it. Or SNAP the plane crashes... Lostangel: I must disagree. Mikhail is shot in the face, Sayi'd is pulled into a life of killing, kate kidnapps a preggo claire and is still running, Jack lost his dad's body and can't remember his childhood has a son who he's improving with but estranged from while he's divorced. Hurley's still rich, but John gets fired and while he's geting married he's essentially GIVING UP on his dreams. While it's not all bad, it is far from balanced or even good. Secondary Chars included. Ben's turned a leaf but he still does something pretty "machiavellian". Sun is shot, Jin isnt even married to her and now should fear for his life and sun's because he will have to run from Sun's father. Sawyer is an obsessed cop who pisses on and pisses off his partner. He may not be a criminal but his life isn't great...drives charlotte away etc. It's quite obvious no-ones gifts are still there or they're well suppressed. These flashbacks have diff kind of drama but it definately isn't better w/out the crash. Except they aren't yet running from a smoke monster and surviving on an island. Chief, apologies, Dallas: Sounds like an interesting theory. Ilie: tru tru. I can see it. Or SNAP the plane crashes…

Lostangel: I must disagree. Mikhail is shot in the face, Sayi’d is pulled into a life of killing, kate kidnapps a preggo claire and is still running, Jack lost his dad’s body and can’t remember his childhood has a son who he’s improving with but estranged from while he’s divorced. Hurley’s still rich, but John gets fired and while he’s geting married he’s essentially GIVING UP on his dreams.

Ben’s turned a leaf but he still does something pretty “machiavellian”. Sun is shot, Jin isnt even married to her and now should fear for his life and sun’s because he will have to run from Sun’s father. Sawyer is an obsessed cop who pisses on and pisses off his partner. He may not be a criminal but his life isn’t great…drives charlotte away etc. It’s quite obvious no-ones gifts are still there or they’re well suppressed. These flashbacks have diff kind of drama but it definately isn’t better w/out the crash. Except they aren’t yet running from a smoke monster and surviving on an island.

Chief, apologies,

Dallas: Sounds like an interesting theory.

I really like this idea. We seem to think the Island is the laboratory, maybe the World is the lab (or like Ellie the mouse's maze) and Jacob is trying to teach people to run the maze of life... @Dallas.

Maybe that is why he was so matter of fact and casual with Richard concerning living for ever…..“Now that I can do” . Why does Sayid ask if they have done this before ? I am wondering if Richard could be the youngest. The mix of a time machine, Polar bear cages , Lighthouse with looking glass

And yep there have been centuries of sacrifices to prove this point, but I think Jacob's victory in terms of his progress with MIB will symbolise a victory for mankind so to speak, especially sine we're being made to believe that MIB has the potential to wreak havoc on the world!

If you think about each of the flashes we've seen now, I'd say that each of the candidates are a little bit happier or at least less troubled than they are in the timeline when Jacob touches them. I still think that in the flashes we're seeing the candidates are untouched by Jacob (because Ben kills him in the future, so he doesn't travel to the past to touch people) and we're seeing how much better their lives would have been if it weren't for Jacob interfering to steer them to the island. I don't think Hurley was ever touched before the 1st flight 815, which might explain why his only trouble was winning the lottery....?

It doesn't say much for humanity does it ;) But, I agree, Jacob doesn't really seem to care for the actual people at all.
