Lost (BOOM) -There will be discussion of most recently aired episodes-
Lines:
I took it more as a "you can't just kill him and expect it to end there" sort of thing. Like ultimately he will be replaced or come back somehow. Or not expect some kind of repercussion for messing up the balance, which I'm guessing since he tossed that white stone into the sea, which was referring to Jacob being dead.
StaedlerMars:
So Jacob is not protecting the island from the rest of the world but protecting the rest of the world from what's on the island? And 'john locke' can't get off the island without the protector's permission - which is why he needs Sawyer?
Probably totally off target here, but that's my current guess.
Ozymandias:
That was my guess too.
blanktom:
Food for thought - the alternate time-line isn't 'What if Flight 815 never crashed', but more 'What if Jacob hadn't interfered'.
If what Smokey Locke says is true, and Jacob had been there pushing them to the island all along, without that interference their lives could have gone in completely different directions. The most obvious example of this is Locke. Just after the ground broke his fall, Jacob turned up to tell him everything was going to be ok. Subconsciously this may have given Locke the faith he has so fervently stuck with throughout the series, and without it, he turned into a miserable wreck, bottling up his disappointment with how his life turned out. Anyway, I'm rambling and you get the idea. This is my favourite theory so far, especially since the whole rollercoaster time-line the island rides helps explains most counterpoints.
Thoughts?
tricia kidd:
yes, all signs point to the alternate timeline as being one in which Jacob never existed/never interfered in the real world.
