Lost!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Y'all know he's Tom Cruise's cousin, right?

[JWBear]

Yes.

[bewitched]

Just a thought...

Sawyer is candidate #15

Kate is #51 on the lighthouse wheel

Mirror images? Seems more than coincidence. And what did Jacob mean when he said to young Kate, "Be good"? Did he mean "behave", or did he mean, be "good", as opposed to say, "evil"? Are Sawyer and Kate being set up as the MIB/Jacob of the future?

Some things to ponder:

Way back in season 2 Sun lost her wedding ring.....she didn't find it until she stopped looking for it.

But now the law of finding something seems to be reversed.....can't find a 40 foot tall lighthouse unless you are looking for it

Dogen, Illana, and Richard all seem to think the Temple is the safest place for the Losties......and they claim to be followers of Jacob......why does Jacob himself believe otherwise?

Back in Season 2 we have Mr. Friendly wearing a fake beard and all of the others supposedly acting like they are a group of tattered hillbillies....only to find out they actually live in suburbia.....now, come to find out they(at least the ones in the temple) live more like the hillbillies than the suburbanites

Continuing along with that thought are we EVER going to find out why Ben was so upset with Mr. Friendly for not wearing his disguise??? I got a feeling we are not

After watching David's concert Dogen comes up to Jack and says "It's hard to watch and be unable to help"......which leads one to think that perhaps this alternated Dogen knows more than our alternate Losties.....but the word "watch" really stuck out to me as it is the same word used by Cindy three seasons ago:

[Back on the island, Jack wakes up startled in his cage. The camera reveals about a dozen people standing outside the cage.]

JACK [frustrated]: What?!!!

CINDY [approaching]: Hey, Jack.

JACK: Do I -- do I know you? 815, you were the stewardess.

CINDY: Cindy.

JACK: What are you doing here -- with them? I thought you were taken -- you were -- you were captured.

CINDY: They're not, um -- it's not that simple.

JACK: What are they doing here, right now? What are you doing here?!!

CINDY: We're here to watch, Jack.

JACK: Watch what?

[The little girl, Emma, from the tail section approaches.]

CINDY: What is it, sweetheart?

[Emma whispers in her ear and waits with a big smile.]

CINDY: She wants to know how Ana-Lucia's doing.

JACK: Are you serious?

CINDY: What?

JACK [angry]: If you've got something to watch, Cindy, go watch it!! Go!!

[The little boy, Zach, hands his teddy bear to Emma and stares at Jack in confusion as the group of people walk away from Jack.]

I am totally LOST

Because MiB broke the rules? (just a guess)

I always though The Others did that so they'd look like other (previous) crash survivors. Had the Others approached the Losties dressed in non-tattered clothes, the Losties would certainly wonder how this was possible, start asking questions, and seek them out. When Mr. Friendly broke the illusion, Ben got pissed.

Because, as Ben proved by admitting he'd never seen Jacob, they only THINK they know what Jacob wants. Likely possibilities are that they were actually being given instructions by MIB rather than Jacob, or that they were receiving instructions for Jacob but Jacob was not honest about his goals and that his protection of them was limited only until such time as protecting them no longer suited his needs.

Sounds pretty good

Oh, was just reminded of this scanning through Lostpedia. Jacob's last words after Ben stabbed him. "They're coming", and pseudoLocke seemed surprised by him saying that.

So perhaps the temple IS the safest place to protect one's self...from MIB/Smokey, but not from whomever "They" are.

Was it Jacob in the rocking chair inside the cabin a few years ago? Or was that smokey taking a human form? I forget

That is the 64 million dollar question.......
