Basically the two obvious outcomes - everyone's dead or Oceanic 8whatever never crashed - mean no last season to speak of or such a dramatic change in direction that I just can't see it happening on a big budget primetime TV show.

There's more than two potential outcomes.

Yeah, key word on my part was "obvious" - one of the cool aspects of how extreme a cliffhanger it was is that the obvious outcomes can be discounted... Cheers for yr thoughts, looks all very plausible. Will have to see whether the show's writers give a shit about plausibility. ;)
TheFuriousWombat:
That all sounds compelling except, I think, for the "they" Jacob refers to being Kate, Jack and so on. I know he's ageless so time probably seems much less of a factor to him but he made that statement what we have to assume to be some 300 years before 815 crashes, judging by the ship, probably the Black Rock, we see coming to the island in that scene. Since the Black Rock was owned by Magnus Hanso, we can perhaps see its arrival on the island as the event that led to the Dharma Initiative and therefore to the Incident and therefore to the 815 crash but...well I don't think that was what Jacob was talking about.

I think you're mixing up "they" occurrences. I'm talking about when Ben stabbed him in 2007. After the stabbing, Jacob dropped to his knees and muttered "they're coming," which seemed to startle and anger Un-Locke. I'm assuming that "they" is the people he touched, including (Maybe) the real John Locke.
In terms of the Black Rock's approach, I'm getting the feeling that Richard's on there.

I'd assumed "they" were the dudes who we'd just seen arrive on the beach and dump Locke's body. We'd already seen Ilana hanging with Jacob in flashback earlier in the episode, so there seemed a sense in which they're his people.
0bsessions:
Un-Locke already knew they were coming, though, so I doubt that's it. The look on his face seemed as if he were startled and slightly concerned with the "they" he referred to. It's pretty obvious that the writers aren't killing off the entire principle cast, so it's probable they'll be back and considering Jacob touching them all, I think it's safe to assume that the Oceanic group are the "they" he referred to and that they're some sort of ace in the hole of his.
