An interesting theory, but I don’t know if Jack will kill him in the ALT. I believe that Jack will definitely be Locke’s surgeon, however, and that Locke will be able to walk and retain all of his “island memories” after the procedure. Locke’s last memory will be Ben killing him and it should lead to some more seemingly random revenge in the ALT, much like it did for Desmond.

caps_locke, i have been having the same thoughts about the candidates not being there to replace Jacob. I mean wouldn’t have Jacob sorted his replacement out before he allowed himself to be killed? He has stopped MIB from leaving the Island for centuries so why would he just stop caring now?

If I could ammend this theory slightly from what I posted last night then I would add a bit about how we know Jacob is trying to prove to MIB that people are capable of good, and that I believe the candidate is not to replace Jacob, but rather the person who will bring about the end of MIB. Jacob said of people who come to the island that it only ends once, everything up untill then is just progress. Plus we heard Widmore say to Desmond that he is going to ask him for a sacrifice. I have no idea how Christian fits into this, but he will definitely play a role in bringing about an end.

Interesting thoughts! I like theories that shoot for explaining the whole end of the series. Jack having to make a leap of faith sounds plausible at this point, especially if he is to “prove” himself to be “the” candidate. The ending will have to tie up so many loose ends- Desmond, Christian, the SLU, the sunken Island, Whidmore and Eloise, Daniel, Kate and Sawyer/Jack, Sun and Jin, oh yeah, and Jacob and the MIB, etc… So many things going on. I would speculate that the “bittersweet” ending will leave us with more of a general thoughtfulness than a real sense of conclusion like triumph of good over evil, or the struggle of the divine over the mortal.

I’m really liking this caps_locke..
I’m always trying to think of ways Locke will come back, since I’m a Locke enthusiast..
Your theory seems very plausible and something very cool that would fit the show..

It is an idea quite possible.
I really like your reasoning. The idea of Jack saving the world using his faith (when he use to be a man of science) is brutal. However, I think the outcome will be more complex than that and will not result in the death of Locke by the hands of Jack on the ATL.
Anyway, it’s an interesting theory.

I really like this theory. It even sounds plausible. I’d love to see Jack kill Locke to save Locke. We’ll say how it plays out, only 5 more left till it’s all over!!
