ok episode... it will be like all lost seasons....they'll give bits and pieces thoughout the season then give the whole smorgasbord at the end. but i think a whole lot of questions wont get answered.
He needs candidates so when someone finds a way to kill him, someone will be there to keep the Man in Black on the island. Jacob's mother was Jacob before he was, and the brothers were the candidates. Jacob got the job in the end.
dont forget that the mother made it so that neither of them would be able to leave or kill each other. True that mib didn't have any purpose to still stay on the island but because he and his brother were born at the same time they both were cursed by the womanOkay, well, after this episode, I think Jacob is totally delusional and wants to keep MIB on the island because he does not want to be alone.
He created the smoke monster and I am starting to hate this show.
Kind of too late I know lol
Frankly if he had not caused the smoke monster, there would be o reason why MIB would be obligated to remain on the island, NONE. Besides the madness of their murderous "mother".
I now think that Jacob is a liar and an elitist who enjoys playing with people's life.
I agree. Jacob is following a lie he was told, MIB isn't buying it and wants to leave. They're both bad, mirror images of each other, Jacob just doesn't know it.Okay, well, after this episode, I think Jacob is totally delusional and wants to keep MIB on the island because he does not want to be alone.

But there was no man in black before the MIB...

Seriously, watch ABC introduce a new show next year called FOUND, which will answer all the questions and then some. This episode pissed me off.
I think after watching this ep, that neither of them are really "good" and jacob is just following a lie that he has been told since he was a child.
The "mother" said a spell over the wine and Boom....Jacob i the chosen one....
I never said there was. The light made him what he is.
Jacob has left the island numerous times. He can leave. MIB cant. And the Man in Black as we know did succeed in killing Jacob through his "loophole".
If I can chime in - the island is a microcosm of the planet. The Light is the spark of eternal life (god if you will)in order to keep balance the spark at some point create the protector (Jesus)or the woman as we saw in the show. she is entrusted with protecting the life and guiding the flock (people) but man has free will and with free will you can make choices for good or evil. The woman you saw on the island Jacobs mother was a personification of Mary (the virgin mary) and she gave birth unexpectedly she gave birth not only to the next protector but the devil as well. The woman on the island never loved MIB more than Jacob her fascination with him was because she knows what he is and what he will do if let lose so she watched him more and to Jacob it appeared to be love but it was truly fascination. When Jacob killed his brother he only set in motion what was supposed to happen. The island woman tried to avoid this by destroying man and trying not to temp MIB in to choosing evil over good. Also remember both babies were born of a corporal mother thus if you noticed each of them became empowered when the time was right. First it was Jacob because the mother knew he would have eventually went to the light because he had dug a trench to it remember. then she gave Jacob power by drinking from the cup of a carpenter (Indiana Jones shout out). thus they both had to become powered to keep balance. we forget this because Jacob doesn't turn into stuff but does angelic things like give long life (Richard). so in a way they are both fallen angels who have to allow man to choose the means to his end. Next week should be good
peace

..........................4 - how did the fake mother kill everyone
Im assuming she cant be killed outside of the loophole, a la Jacob.
5 - why bring people to the island, if its not supposed to be found
Its a game that Jacob and the MIB are playing.
6 - so how does widmore know about what the island holds
Richard probably told him.
7 - so is it safe to say that jacobs soul is stuck on the island, since he killed someone on the island, same goes for MIB, his sould is stuck on the island for killing his fake mother, so how is it even possible, that he can leave.
The Man in Black isnt dead yet. He has manifested as a shape shifting poof of smoke.
8 - who built the pyramid and statue
Not explained yet, but probably islanders that Jacob was testing.
9 - put a wheel in the light and it can move the island? how was this discovered?
They probably tried it, and noted the results like most things are found out.
10 - if mib was in the form of christian and showed ben how to move the island, why didnt he just do it himself? why did he need someone else to move it?
I guess to make John Locke feel special, which is why he brought everyone back to the island.
11 - why can jacob (who was not dead at the time) and MIB (whos been dead for the longest, only be killed by that knife. And how did it go from MIB hand (he gave it to richard, richard gave it back) to Dogans possession?
There could be multiple knives right?
12 - i assume the temple was built over the light, since both are the source of life.
The light went out when MIB entered. You could only assume its inside of him. This is probably why they dont want him to leave the island.
^^^^
You didnt answer any of my questions.
Okay, well, after this episode, I think Jacob is totally delusional and wants to keep MIB on the island because he does not want to be alone.

this episode just confused me more
4 - how did the fake mother kill everyone
Man I was thinking the same damn thing!! I was so mad when MIB wanted to leave the only and was BEGGING them to just let him go.
My heart went out to him, he wanted to know where he came from and was looking for any way to get out and then Jacob and his crazy mother gets in the way......FUCK JACOB!!
When's the only other time (besides the whole dharma initiative purge and Hydra Island airplane mausoleum) that you've seen massive amount of dead bodies strewn around like that? Maybe she's a smoke monster or Jacob for that matter...
That episode was slow. I feel cheated. Where the fuck are Ben, Miles, & co?!?! Already pissed about "what happened" to Sayid. If only that could have been Kate instead...
I still wonder how MIB was able to meet richard and give him the knife to go kill Jacob if MIB Body was already dead, or did that happen before Jacob Killed MIB....
Maybe she's a smoke monster or Jacob for that matter...
MIB's soul was stripped from his body after going into the cave of light. We know this (1) because he told us in an earlier episode [Jacob stripped me of my body] and (2) His dead mortal body was leftover to decay after going into the cave. If mother was a smokie, then she (1) couldn't be killed with a knife like smokey by Sayid and more importantly (2) Wouldn't have a body leftover to decay since smokeys simply materialize and manifest as physical human bodies but don't really have them.
Sorry folks, Mom couldn't have been a smokey. Both her and her "son" MIB died mortal deaths and their bodies decayed in the cave. The difference is that MIB's soul and being was stripped from his body and somehow left in a smoke state - perhaps representing the hatred in his heart when he entered the cave.
I think they just some random shit on the island that people are trying to give some purposeso who thinks the statute and egyptians were on the island before jacob and his brother were born?
thats something they wont explain. but that did not happen before jacob killed mib. the statue was built when richard got there, it wasnt built when jacob killed his brother. whats even more interesting is mib had the knife, he dies, so we assume jacob took it from him when he died. fast forward to richard coming to the island, mib has the knife again. he gives it to richard to kill jacob, richard refuses and gives the knife back to mib. fast forward to the present, Dogan at the temple has the knife. how?
Hey maybe there are two knives...
i mean how many episodes are left... I dont see them giving us all the answers , a lot of shit will be left unanswered.
