That guy who was in lockes body was the blonde dude somehow, the one who we saw at the beginning of the episode with jacob as we saw the black rock about to make landfall at the island. We also saw him make contact with all the characters in the flashbacks

Here is a pretty good theory about what happened I got from a lost forum

+ Show Spoiler +

the loophole must be that the man from the beginning of the episode can somehow assume the form of a dead bodies. "Christian" was not really christian shepherd, but that same man who then gave instructions to Locke. He gave instructions to Ben as Ben's daughter, to do whatever Locke says. When Locke's dead body came back, he assumed Locke's form and got Ben to kill Jacob.



Isn't that what Smoky does?


I think that was assumed, but never proven or stated on the show.

they did a bit in Ben's episode

edit- I wonder if the guy who killed Jacob controls smokey, or if Jacob did?

I think the guy that convinced ben to kill jacob could actually BE smokey? Perhaps

in the first scene, it's christian and jacob hanging out on the beach, and they don't seem to be friends. I think christian and jacob could me enemies, and tried to kill eachother. Christian met john in the cabin, and told him to do something (kill jacob?)

edit: in the last scene with john and jacob, that song, "John Jacob, Jacob Allan Smith... His name was mine name too..." got stuck in my head for no reason

My friend and i (mostly him) spent a long time talking about the guy at the start.
this is what we came up with

so. I posit that the man at the beginning, known henceforth as X, and Jacob are in some kind of wargame. as we know they are not friends, as X said he would kill him but he doesn't. presumably they are bound by a set of rules. Rules to which Richard plays as somewhat of a referee. these rules govern the actions that X and Jacob can or cannot do. similar to a game of chess, the players would be X and Jacob, however the pieces would be Jack, Sawyer, Ben, etc.

I think the end of the game involves breaking out of or into a different time loop. as we can see, Jacob plays the game by visiting peoples lives and altering them in subtle (or not so subtle, if you're sayid) ways. I think that X and Jacob have lived through this time loop numerable times, X for whatever reason doesn't want to break it, and Jacob does. Or perhaps based on the beginning scene, Jacob caused it and believes he can break it. X does not.

I know that sounds like a stretch, but in previous seasons I had heard Ben and Widmore talk about "breaking rules" and I think on a couple of occasions ben has said "you don;t knw who your playing for, do you?" regardless, if you think my idea is balogna, don't even continue reading.

What was the common thread in the flashbacks of the finale?
Jacob was in all of them. FALSE.
Juliet did not have a Jacob appearance in her flashback. This leads me to believe that Juliet is simply a piece of the game that Jacob has not had the foresight to manipulate. well who gives a shit about Juliet, right?
Wrong. Juliet is the one who sets off the bomb. Juliet singlehandedly alters the state of the past, killing all of them. Jacob thinks he is out of the time loop, but Juliet has made it occur again. in 30 years, the plane crashes again because Miles was right. the bomb caused the hatch. The loop repeats.

Very interesting theory indeed.

edit: I have a question regarding this theory. If Jacob has lived through this loop many times, why would he be the one trying to get everyone back onto the island IF he already knows thisgroup of people are the ones trying to detonate the bomb which causes the plane to crash.

it was christian shepard aka "X" who told locke to get everyone back onto the island, not jacob. the above theory is interesting and fits the pieces

tbh for me the most interesting thing is that it ended with a white background "lost" instead of a black one...

Edit: This last season coming will really define whether lost goes down as one of the greatest show, if not the best show i've ever watched, or a pile of crap. If they wrap it up well fucking kudo's to the creators and writers, but if it all ends up with a bunch of plot holes and unexplained phenomena, i'll be sooooo so disappointed.

also, the bomb has to have caused the crash, otherwise miles' dad can just go back to his wife and then miles wont think his dad left him and so on

its kind of a brainfuck though, the timeline goes: first jack gets on the plane, then he brings it down himself, then the plane crashes... doesnt make much sense to me

ehm I think you messed up the time. the time when bomb exploded happened way BEFORE their plane crashed. (plane crashed due to Desmond didnt push the button)

I think he means, because he set the bomb off, that lead to the swan being the way it was, which then caused the plane to come down when desmond didnt hit the button...

But theres no proof that faradays bomb is what caused the swan to be the way it is... For all we know they did just fix it, and they're now living an alternate universe than the one they lived on "30 years" in the future...

Does anyone else think that jacks view on the "we'll never land on the island" is fucking SOOO stupid. For them, the present is the present, they cant change the past and re-live it, they can simply change the current time they're in and the 'present time' versions of them will live out that reality... Man im way to tired for this -_-

You are right X told Locke to tell everyone else to go back, and he failed but eventually each one of them decided to go back with their own decision (except Sayid). However why did Jacob ask Hurley to go back, and Jacob is the reason Hurley went back?
