i too Believe the candidates may not be to replace jacob but maybe they are candidates who are able to kill MIB?

im also intrigued of the twins, fire and water, good bad thing thats going on could the rabbit experiment have something to do with the young boys??? just a thought

It could be a young reborn John Locke, who is ageing fast and when reaches full age can take his body back from Flocke and ruin his plan!

If the kid is played by the same actor, they could be twins like ScrollLocke said. In Season 1 Hurley finds the book by Gary Troup called “Bad Twin”

i’ve always thought the candidate thing has seemed a bit odd. Why after hundreds of years would Jacob let himself get killed?

And if he knew he was going to be killed and leave the Island unprotected, shouldnt he have got his replacement sorted already?? I dont think that its the candidate’s job to replace Jacob, i’m pretty sure that they have got another purpose.

or maybe MIB is so scared because he knows his soul is enternally stuck on the island, no matter what he does. who knows this show is nuts. in a good way obvi

Maybe the young kids aren’t mib/Jacob. To me it seemed as if MIB was not afraid of the latest showing of the kid, which is much different from our first encounter. What if these kids are the real leaders of the island, and there playing one big game, for a long time now ive been thinking that there is either someone above jacob or that he was a candidate of sorts, to a prior “jacob.”

Could Jacobs not fully dying have to do with not using the ‘special’ knife?

Why could Richard not see the boy and others (Des, Sawyer) can? It’s very confusing. And the smile the boy has when he hears Smocke say “Just ignore him” is preety spooky.

All very good points here. Monini, I’m just as perplexed as you are regarding the candidates. Are we absolutely SURE that one of the candidates will take Jacob’s place? Or do they serve a different function? Maybe to help Jacob come back to life?
As to the twin idea–that’s a very plausible one–maybe one is Jacob and one is MIB. They were identical twins in their original lives, and somehow had a falling out. Smlocke is freaked out seeing the ghosts of him and his brother when they were young.

I like this theory a lot. Maybe Jacob will keep regenerating until there is a successful candidate, so he can leave too. The only floor in your theory that I can see is…….
If Jacob is now a young boy who is getting older fast to eventually return as the powerful Jacob, how was he re born? And if he is this boy, how can he be a ghost to hurley?
