Jacob – please read.
Everyone needs to stop hypothesizing about Jacob being someone we know, because the writers have said explicably that we have seen Jacob, but in a non-speaking role. I believe they are referring to the statue. Sure, the writers could be lying, but they haven’t lied before, just been clever or economic with the truth.
This makes more sense than the Vincent theory surely?!
I thought the writers released the info about the non-speaking role in mid season 2. The first time we see the statue is in the season 2 finale.
good point actually, didn’t think of that! Well, a good researcher enjoys the day his theory is broken so…!
Yeah, sorry to burst your idea 🙁
To be productive though, I think what the writers were referring to is that Jacob is one of the guys who helped Jack pull a survivor in the pilot out from under some shrapnel.
O n just to add to your misery wen the writers said that did they not also say time travel was not going to be apart of Lost? Storys can be changed and adapted at any time.
jacob the smoke monster
hmmmm…im going to rewatch the pilot I think, and see if I can spot anything. I will probably fail miserably. But its just an excuse to watch more Lost 🙂
What capps may be referring to is at around minute four of the first pilot episode. The first person we see Jack save is some poor guy stuck under some debris. Whats interesting to me is the people that help Jack lift the debris up so he could get him out. One of them is Locke, and I think the other two look a whole lot like Christian Shephard and a younger Ray Shephard. The guy who looks like Christian is wearing a watch on his left wrist kinda like the one in a certain mobisode called ‘the watch” Christian gave Jack. In the mobisode Christian gives Jack the watch just before he marries Sara. He tells Jack he never wore it, But who knows.
Non speaking role…. Hmm vincent?
I don’t believe Jacob is introduced until season 3.
Well then….I have a small Arron is Jacob theory that could be pushed further by these statement…if nobody steals it first now ;]
I know its been mentioned, but I really dont recall it on this particular site, what do you think, post it?
Sorry to ask a question contradicting your post, but…thats just kind of how I roll, lol. Kidding, just want to know if anyone think it is plausable.
Going by the conversation, Aaron could make sense, from the non speaking role here…and no goo’s and gaa’s are not speaking roles…
AES – “Mommy, where are you going?”
That was well after the producers made that statement. Said yourself, mid season 2…
yeah Aaron is plausible I guess.
You really think about it, the Shepard reunion that is occuring in the Cabin. The possibility that Kate gave Aaron to Ben, and maybe he knows and speaks to Ben because he knows him from this, if he pseks to Ben at all.
Why would Claire leave her son in the middle of the Jungle to go to a Cabin in the middle of nowhere?
Because Jacob is her son and she is still with him. As long as he exists somehow, she knows he is Ok.
He appeared in a non-speaking role before the producers made the comment.
His importance of not being raised by another, could tie into what is going on as well.
This could very well be hogwash, but he is the only non speaking role that fits the (human) bill, at the point of the comment.
Theres my small case as to why he could be Jacob, do with it as you wish. I never posted it because I didnt have a piece or two more of the puzzle I had been looking for.
Dont get me wrong, I could do this with half the characters on Lost, seriously, I have. Just to go with the non-speaking role line, other than a dog or pillar of smoke, this is all we got, I believe.
How could the writers have said we have seen Jacob in a non-speaking role in mid season 2 when the first time we heard the name Jacob is when Pickett says “Shepard isn’t even on Jacob’s list” which is in season 3? When Ben was being held hostage in the Swan he said the man in charge is a great man, but I don’t think he dropped the name Jacob on us. If I’m not remembering this correctly, please let me know. Did the writers say this in a written interview? In a dvd extra? Can anyone provide a source for this comment? It kind of seems like a big rumor to me.
Does anyone have the exact quote the writers made regarding Jacob. I remember they said the man you briefly see in the chair in “Man behind the curtain” was one of the producers or writers (can’t remember which one). So, if the quote was something along the lines of “Jacob has already been on the show”, this could be a mis-direction leading us to believe he’s been on camera on the show while the person who plays Jacob has been on the show behind the camera.
