Uhhhhhhh, I got nothing…since I went ahead and feel pretty damn good about predicting some huge theories. I KID I KID! Wow! As much as this season played out, it was pretty unpredictable, but felt so good about some of theories we tackled.
1) Juliet (might have) died…she’s reset.
2) Locke was in the Ilana & Bram box
3) Time travel ends
4) Vincent would be back! (haha!)
So much to cover from what we got tonight, but…
WHAT I GOT FROM: The Incident Parts 1 & 2
JACOB’S LADDERMark Pellegrino played JACOB! That was amazing. So, he’s dead. BUT, he’s coming back…don’t you fret. Now I do have some questions. TWO JACOBS?! Don’t kill me. Hear me out. We have a Jacob who likes to weave and eat salmon with no plates or forks. But then we have a Jacob who’s off the island who dresses better than Richard Alpert and his Express For Men closet. Something fishy here.
So Jacob brings people to the island, as we saw with what I’m thinking is the Black Rock in 1845. And yes, Jacob looks damn good for his age. Jacob’s Enemy sees an on going occurrence with visitors on the island that Jacob brings of “they come, fight, destroy, corrupt.” (very similar to what Bernard says). Jacob’s Enemy explains on how badly he wants to kill him (the game being played) and he will find a loophole. This brings us to our LOSTIES.
“Game being played”?! I will explain in time. Re read the blogs to catch up though.
JACOB’S TRAVELS(KATE – LUNCBOX/PROTECTION) We see a flashback with Kate and Tom stealing the New Kids on the Block lunchbox they put all their little trinkets in for the “time vessel.” Kate will protect the things that matter most to her in the lunchbox and store them for years so nothing can happen.
So, Jacob helps Katie out and pays for the lunchbox. This will in time bring Kate and Tom back together, only for her to lose him in a car chase shootout. Does Jacob know this? Jacob asks “you’re not going to steal anymore?”, and she nods no. LIES.
(JAMES – PEN/HOPE) James is attending his parents funeral. Before going to the burial site, he decides to write out a letter to Mr. Sawyer…the one that’s famous killing Anthony Cooper.
(SAYID - DEATH/GRIEF) We start with our OVERHEAD (GameMaster watching his GameBoard, or ChessBoard) with Sayid and Nadia crossing a street. As Jacob gets Sayid’s attention by saying he’s LOST, Nadia finds her sunglasses and SMACK, she’s hit by an SUV.
In this Flashback we are getting more of a modern time frame, than Kate and James’. In theirs it was like he was almost recruiting them to be on the island. In this one, he’s taking LOVE away from Sayid and not giving him anything tangible like Kate or James. Grief.
(ILANA - PURPOSE) Bandaged up. Ilana went through something here, now is it the past or future? Not sure. BUT! He doesn’t touch her, like everyone else, and doesn’t give her anything she ca take with her, but gives her a purpose to live. “Help me!”
(LOCKE – LIFE) Anthony Cooper pushes John Locke out of the window, as we recall. Locke dies, Jacob helps by bringing him back. VERY different from what we have seen prior. Gives him life, and apologizes. For what?
Why is Jacob saving the vessel that is going to have him killed? Also, if Locke has been this “monster” for Seasons 1-5, then is the only true Locke we’ve seen only OFF the island in flashes?
(JIN/SUN - BLESSINGS) This is NOT a flashback. NOT A FLASHBACK! This will probably be somewhere in the last episodes. It’s a smaller wedding. Jin had to prepare something quick to read, and it’s only a sentence. Something happens to Jin, a knock or something. BUT! This scene happens after EVERYONE is safe and sound, then Jin and Sun decide to have a small wedding to re-new the vows. Jacob comes by to “thank” them. LOVE IS THE ANSWER!
(JACK – FOOD/UNDERSTANDING) Jack does it again. Can’t fix anything. Daddy has to fix this one for him, once again. We’ve seen this act between the two of them many times before. Plus, I never knew Apollo Bars we’re made with DARK Chocolate, I always thought it was MILK Chocolate…hmm. When Jacob says “I guess it needed a little push”, Jack takes it sensitive like usual, and doesn’t hear the true meaning. Arg Jack. All you need to understand what people are saying to you!
(HURLEY – GUITAR CASE/CHOICES) So, this is how Hurley gets onto the plane and has the guitar case. This is a great exchange between Hurley and Jacob. He calls him Hugo, which I do see Hugo in this scene, but from here on end, it’s going to be Hurley. Also, Jacob gives him options, instead of telling what to do. I thought that was nice and a nice change of “Pace”.
THE CORE OF THE BOMBDaniel knows too much in my opinion. Daniel was forced to flash around and manipulate things in Season 5. We may have not
seen Desmond in this episode, but he was there. TRUST ME. Daniel knew about Jughead, studied it, and what I am thinking planted something else, something more in the core of Jughead. Maybe had someone help him…Des. The “core” is not an explosive, but a way to “correct” everything. To think of the “core” of things is NEVER a bad thing. It’s usually what helps you out in the long run. They could have kept calling the explosive, well an “explosive”, BUT, they are calling it the “CORE.”
Hear me out. When Jack dropped the so-called nuke, it doesn’t go off because it’s not a BOMB, and it doesn’t work because it’s not ready to. Give it 3 more minutes after the “sky turns purple” and it will turn on and TUNE OUT!
Daniel would have never needed to blow up anything beforehand, he KNEW the charge would happen, AND IT DID. Good. And since this device that Jack dropped and Juliet turned on at the right time,
things WILL change. We saw Jacob travel in the future last night, I really think we did. So things don’t change, due to it NOT being a bomb, but that device just course corrected the timelines.
SAYID R.I.P.Hear me out. Like I’ve said many times in this season, Sayid is done, no need for him to stick around. Well, in this episode, proof once again. He follows Jack, take’s the bomb, gets shot, and lies there dying for the rest of the episode. Now, many will think he makes it, but let’s not forget when Locke was shot by Ben, we see Horace’s jumpsuit, the one Sayid is wearing. The body belongs to Sayid.
JACOB’S ENEMY and LOCKERe-Watch the season again and I TOLD YOU Locke was all-wrong this season, and WE NAILED IT! Congrats everyone. Now how do I tell my friend Sarah her long lost “DADDY” really died? I loved how they made this work, and thinking that when people asked questions to Locke, did he know Locke’s thoughts. Alpert mentions “Ben strangled you”, and Locke does his Locke “yes, I suppose he did Alpert.” How does this happen? How does Jacob’s Enemy know these things?
To be honest, Jacob’s Enemy IS Locke…and think about it. Jacob in the bible was more of the peaceful type, while his brother Esau was the “hunter.” Perfect for Locke to play that role, wouldn’t ya say. Also this is the reason the Black Smoke wanted him so bad, and Locke was so okay with going. Mr. Eko tells Locke when Eko’s dying, “You’re next” and PLEASE don’t forget this. When watching last night, thinking that the black smoke takes shape then, what about “You’re next” and where does it work? Bingo! It fits PERFECTLY.
Also, really quick…why does Nestor Carbonel still get Guest Starring: on this show, he deserves a Starring credit? I got your back buddy!
VINCENT, ROSE and BERNARDStill saying they are Adam and Eve…love is the reason for everything it seems. Maybe I’m emotional since it was our 2-year anniversary when they aired this episode. Perfect timing LOST. BUT, even Jack says to Jin “I think I found a way to get you back to your wife.” Every scene dealt with something in love. Doing it for love, saying I love you, love is the answer.
Rose and Bernard know all (like I’ve been saying with Juliet). I feel there is more to them, than we can ever imagine. The way Bernard asks Juliet for “tea” (or the letter T) and then looks at Juliet when she is leaving. Wow! But, who are they? They don’t want to deal with the drama (I’m on their team), and they know the end is coming. Maybe they died from the flaming arrows and now are a manifestation of Jacob’s Brother. Is he the “king” to Jacob’s Brother on the game board? BUT! There is something going on here…Season 6 is going to be AMAZING!
The “tea” comment after re-watching is telling me that Bernard may know the outcome and doesn’t want Juliet to do what she is about to do. I think this is why Juliet changes her mind when Sawyer beats the snot out of Jack, and we see Jack wonder off the screen (I never laughed so hard, sorry Jack). She blames the fact that James looks at Kate, but blah blah blah, too easy.
JACOB’S CABINJacob’s cabin has been lived in, and I’m guessing this is why you buried your dead.
BURY THE DEAD SO JACOB’S ENEMY CAN’T TAKE SHAPE. Christian and Claire can live in there, cause their dead. Never buried. I also love how the statute on the cloth was a sign of Jacob’s Enemy taunting them, telling them to “catch me if you can.” GENIUS!
JULIET’S FLASHBACKWhat is this?! Is this is the reason that Juliet is so emotionless and as Jim (my friend) likes to think of her as an alien? Her parents are getting a divorce? Whoopdeedoo! Then 70% of women living in this country need to be a Juliet. Nothing in this scene makes me feel, what they were giving us was to make us believe this is the reason Juliet acts the way she does.
But, in this scene, LOOK AT THE ROOM. It was decorated last week, maybe last year the earliest. NO WAY is that supposed to be the 60’s or 70’s. REWATCH. This makes me happy knowing that Juliet survives this bomb, but I have a feeling, she won’t be born, until NOW. Yup! SHE HAS RESET!
Also, the book on the coffee table is “Mysteries of Ancient America.”
MILE’S THEORYSo, wait, before I get into this…Miles calls James LaFleur and James says there’s no more LaFleur, but he calls him Ennus. Hmmm…okay. So Miles’ theory is Jack is going to cause the thing he’s trying to prevent. So, if the bomb is the Incident, then doing nothing would be the answer. But for how long? And if that bomb IS NOT a bomb, then things will do what they have to do. So, still my theory, it’s NOT A BOMB! Miles is correct!
THE STATUEFinally we get a full body shot of the statue and we see it’s croc face, showing that the statue is Sobek. Sobek was known to have come out of the water and created the world. NICE! Sobek's ambiguous nature led some Egyptians to believe that he was a repairer of evil that had been done, rather than a force for good in itself, for example, going to Duat to restore damage done to the dead as a result of their form of death. OH WORD!
LOCKE’S BODYWhy is Locke’s body in the box? Well, for this ShapeShifter/Jacob’s Brother to grab hold of the bodies and use them, I believe they have to be dead. Now buried may not be useful to him, so the reason Ilana and Bram needed Locke to be stored is so the Locke they were interacting with didn’t A) Confuse people; B) and make sure they can prove to Richard, the Locke that’s walking around about to kill Jacob isn’t who he says he is. How long was this guy playing Locke? Karen, no shit, you had this from DAY ONE. Congrats!
“and you have no idea what I have gone through, to be here.” Is a huge Season 6 intro and I’m sure will be in the Season Premiere of the “Previously On LOST.” Jacob’s Brother/Enemy has gone through five seasons of this, and if he has, it’s time to re-watch. I can’t wait to put it all together, but something tells me, we always did.
Also, watch Locke when Ben calls him “Moses”, friggin classic. Oh you don’t even know! I get so choked up here. Poor Ben.
JACOB IS AARON THEORYDoesn’t sound so stupid NOW does it folks…HA! Hey Darren, I got your back, man. Wait until I put the RULES up and the game play. It will ALL make sense. Oh shit Locke, Aaron is going to KICK YOUR ASS!
WHAT’CHA TALKIN’ ‘BOUTThey’re coming. Jacob to Locke. 1977 is coming right for them. Timelines will connect. Not Ilana and Bram, but the year 1977 and 2005 will connect.
I wouldn’t give up on him. Jack to Alpert. Jack’s right, and it’s nice to think Jack finally has faith in Locke. How long have we been waiting for you to say this? But if you did, Season 2 wouldn’t have been what it was….SO GOOOOOD!
So we die, all we care about is being together. That’s all that matters in the end. Bernard to Juliet, James, and Kate. LISTEN TO THIS!!!! I can’t believe the answer to this show is in my “What’cha Talkin’ ‘Bout” section. But Bernard is right. At the end of this series, this will be our Series Finale. I will put it all down in the Final Theory.
It’s a door to the hatch, where you and I first met. Locke (Jacob’s Enemy) to Ben. WHOA WHOA WHOA! Slooooow down. Wait, what?! This guy has been Locke since Season 2?! Really?! Re-watching the series is in order. Ugh! So sad to see Ben being played at his own game, and taken control of. Oh chess, you brilliant game.
I’m a Pisces Ben to Locke (Jacob’s Enemy). This explains so much. I also have a feeling with Ben messing up so bad, he is going to shake so much shit up in Season 6. Be ready to cheer this man on. Read up more on Pisces. PERFECT!
FINAL THEORYDidn’t see ANY of that coming huh? Jacob being so real. Meeting Jacob’s Yang (and I mean that in the least perverted way possible). Which can bring us to the CHESS BOARD again and finally we can meet our GameMasters.
JACOB and JACOB’s ENEMY (who for the rest of this BLOG until we get a name will be named Esau “Brother of Jacob” are playing a game. (or he can be Satan, using Ben as Job, but we’ll look more into it. I know of Job, but not enough.)
I have been preaching game play (chess!) from DAY ONE and it is now proven. Both of these men are equal before opening their game box. They will have to use their wits to pick the players and luck to see who goes first. In the game of chess 16 players on a 64 square piece board.
I will have the teams soon, but I do need to get this blog to you guys today. I am an hour late. This episode was amazing, and I am so happy they gave us something so beautiful (love), so crazy (Time Travel, Shape Shifting), and some closure on theories I have been wanting surfaced for SO LONG.
I will be blogging as much as I can this summer, but I think getting a call at 7:45am this morning from Karen who said it from Episode 4, that the unthinkable would happen, HAPPENED. We are coming to you by voice. The PODCAST we published two days ago has hit SO SKY HIGH on Podomatic and Itunes, and the fact that we tackled some theories that were so “out of this world” and they were proven last ngiht…we are on YOU TEAM and the GameMasters as well.
Enjoy everyone and PLEASE comment what you thought. Even if you read and never comment, just say what you thought about the episode. Best episode by far, and greatest finale since Jack and Locke looking down the Rabbit Hole, I mean Swan Hatch.
