2007. Richard and Sun. Sun wants booze. Heh. SFTS faction arrive. Asking for Ricardos. I'm guessing that's Richard. Yep. What lies in the shadow of the statue? Survey says? Um... something in Latin, which is Others 101 after all. Anyone pick up what he said? OMGOMGOMG!!!!!! LOCKE'S STILL DEAD!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!! Locke and Ben inside The Foot. Pretty shot of the sky through the opening. Jacob! Takes a very long time when you're making the thread, but I guess that's the point, isn't it? Found The Loophole. Getting a proxy since he can't kill Jacob directly. This is like how Ben and Widmore can't kill each other? Ben still has a choice. I actually feel sorry for Ben here. I never thought that would happen. Oh, so now after all this time, you've decided to stop ignoring me. 35 years I lived on this island, and all I ever heard was your name, over and over. Richard would bring me your instructions, all those slips of paper, all those lists, and I never questioned everything. I did as I was told. But when I dared to ask to see you myself, I was told, "You have to wait. You have to be patient." but when he asks to see you, he gets marched straight up he as if he was Moses. So, why him, hmm? What was it that was so wrong with me? What about me? What about you? OMG, my heart is breaking for Ben here. Michael Emerson is really rockin' it here. And so it was, that in 2007, Ben killed Jacob. They're coming. The SFTF people, I presume? Or some one else? DHARMA time. OMGJULIET'SNOTDEAD!!!! Well, not dead yet, anyway. Juliet is the one to finally set off Jughead. Fade to white. OMGELEVENTY!!!!!! This!!

Allanna and co arrive at the Foot - what fun! They found their "what lies" guy in Richard, no surprise there. Was that latin that he answered back in? Or something else? Finally - do get to learn what's in the box? Oooooooooooooooooooooooh! Locke!! Locke is not Locke!!! Hot damn!! Well, we've been wondering about him for a while, thinking he seemed "off". Oooh, so the guy who was on the island before is the one pretending to be Locke? Who was the guy before? And now Ben is the pawn in all this, what an irony. Once again, Jacob gives him a choice. "Oh so now, after all this time, you've decided to stop ignoring me." Benry is one bitter little dude. Not that I totally blame him, mind you. Damn! Jacob stabbed and set on fire. Another set of "them" who are coming. (Allana and co., perhaps?) Back to the past. Oh, Juliet down the drill hole, is she gonna set off the bomb? Can she?
Whoa! Guess so! Well, that's a cliffhanger, alright. This means I can still have hope for Juliet surviving this whole deal, right? Oh, hell yeah. I say we're totally in the "anything can happen" place now. That's what I'm thinking about Sayid, that's for sure.

Why was it necessary to kill Jacob when we were just getting to know him? Oh, I wouldn't write him off yet. I wouldn't write anyone off yet, frankly. [/color][/quote]

Your post combines my three fave guys. ;D Actually, I meant Jacob; he's the one who spoke to Hurley in the taxi. But Richard is more than cute - mysterious and sexy with all that arcane knowledge and bedroom eyes. G. Hell, stir 'em all up in a nice big pot of pretty and I'm happy!

Yola, that Latin from the passphrase is Ille qui nos omnes servabit.. translation with full conjugation and declensions to follow, but to start it, " that which we all serve(funky ending)" "That which will save us all" Oooooh! Thanks!

Locke is Jacob??
Holy HathorCow.
G.I have this odd feeling they're going for some kind of eternal good/evil, God/Devil, two sides of the Island fighting it out forever, etc. kind of thing. Then who does Richard serve?
And would Wacky Neighbor/Devil be responsible for the walking dead folks running around and prompting the live folks, like Dead!Christian, Dead!Libby, and the horse that Kate saw? Where does Claire fit in - is she alive or dead? And how would everyone be able to see Dead!Locke? The walking dead folks used to be specific to the people who saw them...

G.I have this odd feeling they're going for some kind of eternal good/evil, God/Devil, two sides of the Island fighting it out forever, etc. kind of thing. Sara suggested to me that a good name for Not! Locke! would be "Esau." I found it fitting. But then I thought about it some more. Sobek is an Egyptian god that got co-opted as an avatar of Ra in later dynasties. Say, about the time the tribes of Israel moved there. Jacob died in Egypt.. or maybe he just buggered off. and his brother, who he had tons of issues with in the myths, may have buggered off with him....

I caught the last 20 minutes, after not watching anything all season. So I have absolutely nothing to add. Except that when Locke and Ben were standing in front of Jacob and Ben is asking "why not me?" I was hit very forcibly by the thought that it was a Cain/Abel situation where God found Abel's sacrifice to be worthy and Cain's unworthy---for no discernible reason. And, of course, later Cain kills Abel. But he doesn't kill "God."

Locke has been identified as a wannabe rugged hunter, and then, when he reached the Island, he became one. Biblical Esau was a skilled hunter and not much of an intellectual. Was it before or after Locke's death that he came into Richard's camp with a boar he'd killed, giving it to them for dinner?

Copied from my lj (oh and Kate and Jack fans . . . . um you might want to just skip this one)
I don't know how to even comment on this. Are they all dead? Sawyer and Juliet certainly are, aren't they? Gah- that killed me. Killed me. I love Juliet with Sawyer so much. In all the years of watching this show and it's various pairings and unpairings, no other relationship has owned me. They fit. And of course nauseating Kate isn't the one tossed down a shaft and forced to bang on a bomb with a rock. Why not? I would have no problems with that happening to Kate. Also known as the black hole of suckdom.
And look! Token gift to the fans. Hey whiners - you keep asking about Vincent, Rose and Bernard. Hello here they are just hanging out on the island. And building Jacob's cabin. Now be quiet.
I loved Jacob and the mysterious other guy and the opening and the wandering of Jacob. Loved it. And so evil guy is possessing Locke? Where are Sam and Dean when you need them? Oh wait - they have a little apocalypse to attend to themselves which AIYEEEEEE - CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!) Ahem. So Locke really is dead. Wow.
Jack - you are forever and always an ass to me. I'm just saying.
Aw, loved the moment with Hurley and Jacob. Awwww.
Why do we have to have that annoying woman and her crew walking around with Locke's body with only one more season to go. None of us care about these johnny come latelies. Now that they have served their purpose, can we have smokey take them away? I'm just saying. But leave Frank who always rocks.
So my boss' theory is next season they will all be on the plane and somehow all find their way together again or something like that. I haven't a clue.
Just my Juliet. No. If this is because she is in a pilot, I'm kind of hoping the pilot isn't picked up (sorry Elizabeth) and she is resurrected and she and Sawyer get back together in a non-blown up world and la la la I can't hear you.

Ben couldn't see all that Jacob had done for him, just as Jack didn't see that his father helped him in the operating room - saw it as a put-down. All about perception. Like most things. Speaking of which - do you think that the island might have somehow been moved right before the bomb went off? That 'flash' wasn't very explosion-like. This is my friend's theory.
