"I Hope You're Happy Now, Jacob"--The LOST Season 5 Thread

Pretty much the first hint of pre-destiny I can remember in the show was the fake psychic back in S1 who said to Claire "you have to get on this exact plane".

I agree with anyone who suggested Locke might be a sort of hollow Christian/Yemi/French dude type host for Smokey/Jacob. Would seem to make sense.

that profile we saw of jacob reallllly looks like locke to me now

doesn't he have kind of curly hair? not like locke's combover.

when did we see a jacob profile?

season 3, "The Man Behind the Curtain" - first ben flashback episode.

^^ the show's propmaster, who i'm guessing won't turn up playing a physical manifestation of Jacob on any regular basis

Why do that when you can put a wig and fake beard on Brian Posehn.

lol - Brian Posehn would be genius casting for Jacob, but I don't think the Lost producers are really capable of pulling off something that inspired. I'm cracking up just picturing it though. Locke, Ben and Alpert walk into the cabin, and there's Posehn sitting there with a goofy smile on his face, acting basically like the same character he plays on the Sarah Silverman show.

can't believe we're already up to the finale

it's sad
when will season 6 start? january?

January... 1977.

i shall bet the Cowboys next Superbowl

Jacob is BOB

The owls horses? others? rabbits? ???? are not what they seem.

statues

h-bombs

wouldn't it be cool if the finale ends with the hydrogen bomb completely destroying the island and that the producers/writers were just fucking with us and never actually intended to do a 6th season

no

It would be hilarious if the producers delivered something like that to ABC for broadcast last week and let them hang for a day or two before saying "lol j/k"

horse-bomb

i'm with whomever said that what who we're seeing as locke is merely an island apparition. locke is dead and he is in that container on the beach.

locke is no longer guiding his own fate post-death, the island is putting things in place.

if locke is being animated by the island it would make more sense for him to be like christian, i.e., to have a real physical body

if dead-Locke is in Illana's box, wouldn't she already have taken out ghost-Locke? Didn't some of her men stand with Cesar when he was trying to stop Ben and Locke?

my question then would be, would a Christian/Locke dead person island apparition be the same phenomenon/category as Rousseau's friends after the smoke monster got them, and/or Alex when she talked to Ben via the monster? xpost

^^ yeah good question dude

this season is such a rip-off.

Love this theory. But it could also mean more people who are already dead 'appear' on the island. Alpert?

Is the finale tomorrow?

y

what makes you think christian has a real physical body?

"what's in the bahhhxxxx?"

i think locke might even be smokey? they sort of hinted at it when Ben and Sun were waiting for the monster to come out of the bushes but the rustling just turned out to be locke. and then he conveniently disappeared while Ben had his little "this is your life" recap.

well christian's body disappeared from his coffin and he could pick up a framed photograph from the wall.

couldn't touch locke in four-toed statue time tho.

Richard w/ the ship in the bottle makes me think the writers are suggesting he's part of the Black Rock crew.

I'm speculating that whatever ghost-Locke does with Jacob, it ends up making the Others lose 'control' of the island to the Shadow of the Statue crew. Season 6 is the war to get control back.

his bodys not in the coffin anymore silly

richard is totally a pirate.

a butt pirate!

his body could be anywhere. it was a plane crash. i'm not convinced that he has a real physical body. SPECULATIVE.

i bet if locke really is dead the reveal will somehow be done thru miles... or we'll see locke on the '70s island

Ilana knows what's in that metal box right? So I don't think she'd be so good at pretending that her reactions to Locke after meeting him would be phoney. He doesn't seem to know what her agenda is either tho.

Locke was found in the jungle near the beach by people right? so he teleported or whatever and the empty (like Christian's) coffin is still on board the plane.

i like the idea that richard's just been camping out on the beach building ships in bottles for the past three years.

Or if the Locke we're seeing is a Smokey apparition, the actual-dead Locke could also reveal hisself to Hugo?

this season is such a rip-off.

wait, are you serious or sarcastic there? 'cause, like, NO.

Ideally I'd like the reveal to consist of black smoke suddenly pouring out of Locke's every orifice as he opens his mouth and begins speaking in that weird clicky noise the monster makes.

Yeah, I've really dug this season for the most part.

i was serious. i really feel like they wasted lots of valuable time. i feel led on, toyed with. and not in a good way.

What are some things you feel wasted valuable time? I mean, especially compared to, say, seasons 2 or 3, and given that we're talking about a network television show.

oh i don't know, wandering around in the jungle just to fill up time, or flashabcks that told us tons of stuff we already knew?

it's become so hard to care about any of the romantic stuff. Jack and Kate? fuck off. Daniel and Charlotte? fuck off. Sun and Jin? obv they will re-unite at some point and that's nice but ffs you'd rather return to the island than stay and look after your own precious son you mad lady...

altho i did feel bad for Juliet and James when Kate appeared and presumably is the cause of why they return to the island.

tehresa otm

liked the eps when they were skipping in time.

again, how is this different from every other season?

This telling-us-stuff-we-already-know complaint never makes any sense to me. This is a show that had a flashback about a toy plane in a bank vault. Filling in the blanks and offering slightly new info each episode has been its MO since the beginning. Why should we expect anything different now?

My vote for what is in Illana's box--Alvar Hanso's body. He wanted to be resurrected on the island.
