My Jacob/MIB prediction

I didn’t have enough info to really throw down a Jacob/MIB prediction at the beginning of the season and still really dont and it usually not like me to follow the crowd but a general consensus has always been that the two are brothers, I think this as well, kind of, maybe like half brothers and Jacob was the youngest, their mother dies when they are young trying to save Jacob and that leaves Jacob’s father to raise them both. Jacob’s father resents MIB because he is not his genetic offspring. MIB resents Jacob becuase he blames him for their mother death. Later on Jacob is chosen as the first candiate and all the powers that go with it are imbued in him. While he is still getting the hang of it he accidentally touches MIB. MIB being the first that touches Jacob for one reason or another gets almost all the same powers that Jacob has but also his gift is to be able to take on the form of the dead (perhaps from all his mourning over his mother, to know what her last thoughts were, missing her, wanting to see her just one last time, etc.). In order to be able to that it had to be able to a transitional form (ie Smokie which was laying dormant underneath the island for however long waiting on a “candidate” of it’s own.

Hi. I am an uber Lost fan. Admittedly, I jumped on the bandwagon a little late, halfway through the third season but thanks to the DVD's I am all caught up and do frequent re-watches. BTW my new image reflects my love/hate relationship with Lost. I always feel like I am on the verge of blowing up at the end of every episode because when I think I finally figured it out, nope the rug is pulled out.

  1. Jacob is Faith,
    MIB is Science. They’re brothers for sure or cousins at least and MIB believes Jacob/Faith holds him hostage because people always end up following Jacob/Faith because MIB/Science means life has no purpose.

    Call me crazy.Pls.

  2. Hmm, I am not sure about your basis about the stuff about their parents but I REALLY like the idea that Jacob touched MiB and that’s why he is ageless like Jacob….

    MiB would probably have to have some of his own powers too though, because Richard was touched by Jacob too but he didn’t get any cool powers besides immortality..sucks for Richard!

    Good thinking!
