Anyone was Underwhelmed how Jacob looked?

I was expecting more... WEIRD :p He looked so normal!

So, all the ghost in the cabin and stuff flying around, that's ALL Smoke Monster's doing?

[Copoboxx]

I belived it's Mr X the man from the beginning which i also believe could be Jacobs brother since he looked like him.. (Evil Brother? Maybe) Which was also Christian disguised forcing Locke to die for him to then take over hes body as the leader which will be the only one being able to get to Jacob.

[jackofalltrades]

I don't understand how Fake-Locke seems to know so much about Locke's past.

[sh4hb4z]

I think that when Jacob says they're coming, he means Jacj, Kate, Sawyer etc etc... the Oceanic 6! Makes sense since Jacob needed them back on the Island.

Furthermore, Eloise Hawking states that when Ben asks if he can't get the other Oceanic 6 survivors to get on the plane she says "...then God help us..."

Jacob must have known the events that would have unfolded thats why, in some way or another, he gets all six survivors to come back.

Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Sun Sayid, Jin and the other Korean dude whos name I can't remember are coming, maybe even Juliet (?) - since the bomb just exploded (or might not have) sending them to now.

smokey judges people and looks into there past. Everytime smokey runs into people he sees into them, best example was the ecko sequence

I was going to use this, but then I quickly realized that only two seasons are currently out on Blu-Ray. Everything else is on pre-order.

Mind.****.Episode.

IMHO, there will never be another show as captivating as lost is.

If anything Jacob looks more like the ship captain that brought lapidus and crew onto the island

[Remysaus]

yeah $200 for the first 4 seasons. :pinch: Thinking about getting them but not sure yet.

I think I'll just wait it out and get the complete set when season 6 is finished. there's bound to be a big box released sometime with all the Lost you need. :)

Been reading some theories on lostpedia, this seems to make some sense:

Jacob is NOT Anubis. If he is an Egyptian god, most likely he is Sobek, the Egyptian god of creation. this would make his enemy Anubis, the lord of the underworld. Jacob lives in the statue, which we saw as a whole in "the incident". The statue has a crocodile head, which would make it a statue of Sobek. My theory is that Jacob's enemy lives in the underground temple, and in keeping with Egyptian mythology, that would make HIM Anubis.

[Hurmoth]

Popular Mechanics spoke with "Egyptology expert James Allen of Brown University again to get more insight on this four-toed legend. "From what I can see of the face, it's a crocodile, which means it's supposed to be Sobek, not Anubis or Taweret," says Allen. "But the statue, of course, is hardly 'real' Egyptian. As I said before, the ankhs and the thing on the head come from Taweret." He also added that the pointy ears are a result of the imagination, and that, in actuality, the statue's sandals are Roman, not Egyptian."

So your theory from Lostpedia makes the most the sense to me as well.

[Mathachew Veteran]

The statue looks to be a mixture of Egyptian gods, but that theory seems to be plausible.

[Hurmoth]

So James Allen stated that the statue also have some Greek elements to it as well. We know that language that the Others use is Latin; as Juliet stated in Jughead it is the language of the enlightened. Latin is, of course, the language the Greeks spoke during this same time period that we first see Jacob and the completed statue.

So maybe there is also Greek mythology to be looked at and not just Egyptian mythology?

Thats what I'm doing for the Blu-Rays too. I'll pick up S5 on DVD, to go with 1-4, and then buy the super pack of all 6 seasons on Blu-Ray.

A Lost-inspired number entering game has been released on the iPhone.

Developed by Smallrock Software, Doomsday Terminal requires players to enter in a series of numbers every 108 minutes, according to Kotaku.

The application was inspired by US TV series Lost, which featured a computer terminal inside an underground hatch into which the survivors must enter numbers to avert disaster.

While the application uses a different set of numbers from the show, messages can be sent through the terminal that will be distributed to other players at random.

The current survival record stands at just over a week.

/wants :D

/wants :D

That fact that it's not the LOST numbers kind of kills the nostalgia factor. If it's not free, it should be a pass.

LOL, oh man, that game would keep me awake all the time

[Martyn]

Mind. Blown.

I think you're thinking of the Romans. The Greeks spoke Greek.

Looks like another Lost ARG is underway.
