Lost: The Final Season (Premieres Feb. 2)

I watched Band of Brothers in one week.

 

I think it's yet to be seen. I think it's same to assume our candidates our going to get dirty and bloody.

The greatest part of this finale is that we don't know who's going to "win." There is no guarantee our Losties will survive. But there's an equal chance they stop Smokey and save the world.

I love it.

 

So is there one Desmond who physically moves, or one Desmond consciousness that skips between bodies? He was on Sideways Airlines 815 and then apparently vanished before it landed. So what of Desmond the Widmore mercenary? And Desmond the lovelorn Penny-chaser? Were those different Desmonds? Less enlightened Desmonds? So many possibilities.

 

Any young people or babies wouldn't make much sense with what Jacob was looking for in his candidates.

 

Maybe the finale will have Yi Jeon and Aaron as the replacements for Jacob and Smokey. And Walt will be the leader of The Others.
Or the whole cast is turned into polar bear poop.

 

Fish biscuits.

 

I think we may have our why can't anyone on the island have a baby question answered. Because if the islanders became a mother they couldn't be the potential savior of the island. Mr. Nice guy Jacob may have been causing one abortion after another to keep as many candidates as possible.

 

But wasn't he also killing the mothers in the process?

Also, this leads me to my next theory. I think I've posted this here before but I'm seriously starting to consider that Jacob and MIB are the same person. That they represent two halves of the same whole.

Think about it. MIB is expressly condemned from killing Jacob. Is it because he would kill himself in the process? MIB wants to leave the island, maybe he can't until Jacob FINDS a candidate to replace the both of them.

Maybe that's what we saw when we saw Jacob through MIB into the light. The way I see it, Jacob's Mother did both jobs, she was the good and the evil. She protected the light and tried to selfishly hold it herself.

When Jacob and MIB were born, she always insisted on one of the two taking over for her but Jacob was incapable of doing good and MIB was incapable of doing bad.

I think Jack is going to take over and is going to become both MIB and Jacob. This would restore balance on the island and blend the ideas of fate and free will together nicely, IMO.

 

I think Bob Newhart rolls over, sees Marcia Wallace's big bucked teeth staring him in the kisser, jumps out of bed in fright and knocks over his autistic kid's snow globe and the screen fades to black with Don't Stop Believing playing over the dead screen. That's my plausible theory...

 

In "Flashes Before Your Eyes" in Season 3 and "The Constant" in Season 4, it was his mind that floated to points in time of the same body. So it was still Desmond Hume. But it was who/what he was in 1996 to who/what he was in 2004.

Right now, it seems like his mind is floating to different timelines, thus a different body.

 

Rewatch the fireside chat.

Jacob tells Kate she can have it if she wants. He crossed her out b/c she was a mother. He felt she had other priorities. But he said they all have a choice. This is about free will, not determinism.

 

That is a crazier theory than Doc Jensen's early season 6 ruminations.

I'm glad Doc has changed his tone over the second half of the season. Even he's along for the ride at this point.
