*** Lost: Season 6 (Final Season) ***

[ehh]

That certainly could be the case - it's just another easter egg and nothing major like most of us seem to think it is.

I think they could just be distracting us. Maybe before they said the numbers weren't important and now they introduced them in a way to make us question whether or not that is entirely true. Maybe they are in fact just coincidence and have no explination, but they are using it to get us to focus on that for a few episodes until they spring something else major on us.


It's lost, who knows lol.

Maybe the writers were all smoking pot for the past few years and really have no idea how to wrap this whole thing up?

Though honestly i can see a replacement for Jacob AND MIB (Jack and Sawyer) a and we get a redux of the opener from last year with smokey and Jacob on the beach I'm probably totally wrong though. Re: The numbers. If i'm not mistaken every name that was crossed out on the walls had a different number associated with it. That being said. I'm assuming some of those names were from the Black Rock, now it can be assumed a different sequence represented the people on there, whats to say that Jacob's influence is what caused Dharma to use those numbers specifically at the station since that particular event was going to be the arrival of the flight. Reaching i know, but we'll see. Also, does anyone else think that the list shown by MIB to Sawyer is HIS list and not particularly Jacobs? I'm thinking we'll see a second set of names/numbers somewhere else.

Lionsfan, that's exactly what I've speculated for over a year now.

This whole thing is cyclical and will continue to go round and round forever. The players might change, but the game and pieces never do.

John/MIB said himself "I was once a man too". But he might have been taken over by 'the sickness' and assumed the role of MIB.
We've had the whole Sawyer vs Jack war shoved down our throat since day 1. I'd put my money on those two taking over as Good and Evil.
Is it a coincidence that Jack and Jacob are similar names? Who's to say that MIB won't have a name similar to James Ford or 'Sawyer'.

But I think it's obvious Smokey needs a body to get off the island and Sawyer is falling into that trap.
Is it a coincidence that MIB can change forms just like Sawyer would assume different identities as a con-man?

Regarding the numbers, I think Jacob knew all along. I think it's the people who have a significant number associated with them (4, 8, 15, etc) that Smokie can't kill (according to child-version of Jacob).
Don't know why he can't or what the rules are.
But I'm sure MIB/Locke will find a way to manipulate Sawyer, Sayid, Claire, etc into murdering all the Numbered Losties.

Another thing I'm wondering about the "rules", is how exactly they coincide with the rules that Widmore and Ben referred to. In general the character of Ben totally confuses me, first he was intended to be on for a few episodes, then he's giving this huge push and important role, now he seems to be totally clueless and helpless.

I'm not necessarily complaining as Michael Emerson has delivered some of the best acting on the show, but as a character Ben's importance doesn't seem consistant at all to me.

it doesn't, but same goes for a bunch of people. I mean the "almighty" Ben Alpert is now running around the island like a scared little girl. Others like widemore, desmond/penny, walt, etc haven't even appeared this season yet (I know desmond on the plane), but they were all perceived to be major players and have had no significance this season yet.


1 theory I play with is that the reason all of these people are now "out of sorts" is because something happened that wasnt supposed to happen. Something like ben killing jacob, or something like that. I mean all of these people we high and mighty and now Ben is essentially "lost" the others are in turmoil, widemore is off the island doing god knows what. we will know for real here in the next few weeks but there is a deliberate reason for bens recent "demotion"

[ehh]

I still don't understand how Cuse/Lindeloff said that MIB is not the man who's possessing Locke's body. Who else could it possibly be?

how many episodes are left?
