Ladies, gentlemen and other Lost Fanatics. My purpose here today is rather simple. You see we amongst the writers of this fair blog are divided into two camps. Those who think Jack Shepard is really Jacob. And those of us that believe the dome-headed messiah himself, John Locke, is the man in the Cabin.
I am from the latter group and I seek to add you to my ranks. I assume the other group will try and sway you with their viewpoint and I have a preemptive strike up my sleeve for I already know a lot of the arguments they will use to disprove my theories and fully intend on addressing them. Lets begin shall we...
John Locke has come a long way since he crashed on the Island. When we first saw his life story we learned he was a disabled man working in a factory owned by a Millionaire, he made a decision to go on a Walkabout holiday and was laughed at for doing so and then *bam* he gets on a plane, crashes on some sand and can WALK. Since then we've seen him evolve into many things, first and fore mostly a man of faith. But not of God, but of the Island. He prioritises the Island above all things, even is own life. He proved that by agreeing to go back to the real world to recruit the Oceanic Six. And its this fact, almost alone, that is strong evidence of his eventual transformation into Jacob. Other points include a video on Youtube, a recent episode and a certain amount of belief in our transformation as Lost Viewers.
We first saw Jacob in an episode in Season 3, in fact Season 3 heralded Jacobs introduction and we were given a brief glimpse of him. Now some computer whizz slowed down the footage of Jacob and cleared up the image. And posted it on Youtube HERE. The video speaks for itself so I need not bore you with facts and figures relating to it. You can make up your own damn minds as to what you think of it.
Since Jacobs appearance he has been shrouded in mystery and very rarely mentioned or referenced. Which means the Lost viewers aren't wanting us to think about him, they do that a lot. Think about the four toed statue from Season 2 they 'reminded' us about last week!! Now a lot of skeptics are saying that John is too obvious a choice, that we shouldn't be lead to believe the massive arrows being pointed at him because the Lost writers do it all the time and Lost is never obvious. But the question I ask is this, is it that it IS too obvious or is it that we as viewers are getting better at noticing clues and picking up on where Lost-related things are headed..?
Join me tomorrow for an analysis of 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham' and what it did to further prove my theories.
Dan.
