Christian is NOT MIB!
*C’mon guys I’ve seen this theory way too many times, lets just put it to rest please : )
*I guess we need to start by talking about the Cabin. When Locke & Ben first visit it in Season 3 we experience the Cabin under a very dark theme. Locke shines a light and all hell breaks loose! And the only thing that we see is a glimpse of a ghostly figure. My theory… this is MIB without his body, the guy sounded trapped and obviously that’s why he shouted “HELP ME”
*Moving on, the next Cabin visit we see Locke enter and now he is immediately greeted by Christian, a figure that we have already seen around the Island multiple times. He doesn’t identify himself as Jacob but he does say “I can speak on his behalf” My theory is Jacob is Christian…
*Lets think about here… Christians casket was found on the Island but not his body, Jacob possessed it to give Locke instructions. Why? MIB obviously has some of Lockes memories but none of them involve actually seeing Jacobs body. In Season 6 the Other others said they didn’t understand why Jacob sent Sayid because at his current state he was beyond saving. Its Jacobs way of disguising himself once again
*I digress… The last thing that tipped me off that Christian is NOT MIB was in Season 5, Flocke is now on the Island and being interrogated by the Ajira crew. Meanwhile Sun and Frank are discovering that Jack and the gang are not in their correct time… And who is telling them this? Christian, so how is MIB posing himself as Christian and Locke at the same time? He’s NOT! If that doesn’t convince you then look at this contrast… In Season three Locke turns on the flashlight and the Cabin goes crazy… In Season 5 Christian is holding a flashlight to show light on the picture taken in 1977… Christian is NOT MIB.
I think your right but we have to look at why Flocke & Locke exist at the same time in the same place. If Jacob is Christian than why Is Christians body missing while Locke is dead & we see his body?
Remember when Yemi’s body went missing? Then all of a sudden we see a fake Yemi that is obviously MIB & kills Eko later. Is it one is a copy of the person & another is a actual host of the dead body or something like that?
* Oh & another way you can explain that Christian isnt MIB is that we see Jacob off the Island getting the losties to comeback to the island but we also see Christian off the Island right before Widmore’s ship blows up off shore, we never see a MIB type figure or anything like Smokie off the island at all, maybe its the water that holds back smokie from crossing.
Locke is such a confusing character, dont forget that the dead Locke is from 2004 and not 2007. He’s still not in his “right time”
*Locke turns the wheel and gets transported from 2004 to 2007 where Charles Widmore is waiting for him and tells him that Jack and the gang have been off the Island for 3 years.
*Locke then fails at getting everyone back and is killed in 2007 by a 3 year older Ben and then brought back to the Island where all this madness is breaking out. UGH! lol
I think Christian is Christian. Early on some of his appearances were smokie, the soud effects were very clear when he appeared to jack on the beach. Smokie seems to be able to take dead bodies and replicate them.
I think other appearances have been Christian as a ghost. The whole time he seems inconsistant in his messages, why he is saying what he’s saying and I think this explains it. He isn’t MIB or Jacob, just Christian who’s form was used by smokie and who can come back as a ghost to work on the losties for his own agenda, whatever that is.
Very good observation! I didn’t realize that Christian used a flashlight. It does seem to point to him not being whoever was in the cabin…only thing against this that I can think of is what is it’s something about the cabin itself that is special and that’s why the flashlight was bad. Maybe it was sacred or something? Not sure, just throwing ideas around…
Christian was also seen off-island in the hospital, seen by Jack after he went off the island and started working as a doctor again. I always wondered how Christian could manifest himself there. If we seem to agree that the smoke monster cannot go off the island, then Christian surely isn’t the smoke monster. There still is the issue, however, that the smoke monster and MIB might just not be one and the same…
I’m remembering the first time Christian was seen on the island in Season 1 by Jack… it almost led Jack to be killed by slipping over a cliff. If it were not for Locke, Jack would have died. Strange that Christian kinda wanted to kill Jack at that point…
I am convinced because you pointed out that Flocke and Christian exist at the same time. I don’t know how I missed that. I don’t know if he’s Jacob, but I think that would be the best guess right now.
You are correct in my view, asyour theory is supported by another theory of someone else on this sie (I am sorry for whoever said this!). Jacob actually takes “organic” control over a body ie he becomes them and no body is left behind eg Sayid now and also Christian shephard (Christian’s body has not been found). however, MIB’s becomes a body but leaves a corpse behind at the same time ie there are two organic/visible bodies on the island eg as we have seen locke walking and Lockes body right beside him as well.
Christian is not MIB, Christian is not Jacob, Christian is not dead! (just a theory) A couple reasons why this may be true:
(1)We have not seen Christian die…
(2)Christian has appeared both on AND off the island after his supposed death…
(3)Christian’s body was not found on the island after the crash, only an empty coffin…
(4)In the “alternate” storyline (when our beloved passengers don’t crash) his “dead body” is missing as well…
If this theory is true, the question is why? (and forgive me if this theory was already mentioned…I’m new to posting)
Christian is invested in the island for some reason and wants to get back??
