I haven’t been blogging for a while but ever since the end of season 5 for Lost I’ve posted twice in less than a week–a record.
Some of my favorites from my recent posts:
Esua’s story up until now…
Esua made up the entire plan to kill Jacob around the time Ben arrived, he influenced Desmond to not push the button (I’m thinking Esua was Kelvin), the plane crashes, he then orchestrates the entire scheme behind Locke and Ben.
At the same time, Jacob sees Esua’s influence towards the end and creates some counter measures in order to change the present by correcting the past.
…
I’m thinking now that the reason Jacob wasn’t so direct in influencing some of the characters (Jack, Kate and Sawyer) was because at the time of his visit he didn’t know the entire endgame. That makes sense why he doesn’t just let Locke die. But when he visits Hurley he knows he needs them all to be in the past to detonate that bomb.
Also, notice how Jacob visited the people that he needed in the past? Further backing up my theory about him needing them in the past to change the “incident”. And that’s why Sun and Ben were left behind, which were part of Esau’s plan.
Random Theories, Observations and Ramblings
- Esau is the (smoke) “monster”. He was also Ben’s daughter when she told him to follow Locke (obviously).
- Since Esau is the smoke monster what is Jacob’s power/ability? I think it’s time travel and the electro magnetism on the island. This gives him the ability summon ships and planes to the island.
- Jacob wants to prove Esau wrong (beginning of S5 finale), I think he wants to prove them wrong by showing them people can be selfless and have compassion–maybe something Esau doesn’t have. Esau did say they were destructive and conquering but Jacob talks about progress.
- Locke never saw Jacob in the cabin, another obvious point, it was Esau mid plan to kill Jacob and manipulate Ben.
- Locke is and never was someone, in Richard’s words “there was nothing special about him”.
- Dharma ended up being an observation experiment for Jacob, maybe to prove something to Esau. That’s why they’re gated from the “monster”.
- Since Dharma is part of Jacob’s experiment I think the original Others are led by Esau more than Jacob. Even though Richard has that direct connection with Jacob. Maybe at some point Jacob just went into hiding while Esau took his place.
I still think the last season of the show will be about the real Jacob and the new events since the bomb. “New events” meaning: the bomb did change the course of the future/present.
