What a difference a few hours make.   In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magiclamp.org\/index.php\/2009\/05\/06\/lost-theories-what-is-in-the-shadow-of-the-statue-and-the-incident\/\">my previous post<\/a>, I wrote that I thought the bomb was in the shadow of the statue&#8230; well, THAT was proven wrong tonight.<\/p>\n<p>I think we&#8217;re still pretty much on target for the rest of the theory though&#8230; They&#8217;re going to detonate the bomb, and that will result in the guys in the hatch taking anti-radiation vaccine, and wearing yellow jumpsuits for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>OK, getting back to tonight&#8217;s episode:<\/p>\n<p>Richard said he saw all Jin, Kate, Hurley, Jack and Sawyer die&#8230;   I&#8217;m pretty sure that he THINKS he saw them die, probably a result of the H-Bomb blast, but I think it&#8217;s a lot more likely they&#8217;ll vanish from that part of the timeline, which will only look like they died in the blast.  As to where they end up &#8211; I think it&#8217;s likely they&#8217;ll end up in the distant past.   I only say that because of the statue.   It&#8217;s going to be one of the 815ers.  Which one, not sure.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going into pure theory here, but I do that a lot, so here goes:<\/p>\n<p>I think Locke is in for a HUGE surprise when he goes to see Jacob.   First off, I think Locke is dead &#8211; dead as in Christian Shepard dead.   He just doesn&#8217;t know he&#8217;s dead.   His misguided mission to go to try and kill Jacob is going to fail because of this.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, I think it&#8217;s likely that Jacob is being held in a sort of &#8220;in between&#8221; state &#8211; &#8220;in between&#8221; meaning, not in this time, but not in his own time either.   John is probably not going to like when he finally meets Jacob &#8211; either he&#8217;ll release Jacob, or Jacob will be the one to tell John he&#8217;s dead &#8211; maybe both.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s probably a good reason Jacob is in that state.   In fact, it&#8217;s possible he&#8217;s in a prison of sorts;  that white powder around the cabin (remember that from last season?) might be some sort of ward that keeps Jacob locked up.   He might be a reluctant advisor to The Others, and once freed&#8230; well, that won&#8217;t be good for anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Ben mentioned that Richard Alpert has been around a long time.   A looooong time.   I&#8217;ve seen speculation around that Richard Alpert might be who the Egyptians considered to be the god Ra.  (Richard Alpert&#8217;s initials = R.A&#8230; Ra&#8230;.)  I&#8217;m not sure THAT&#8217;s true, but I do believe he&#8217;s Egyptian.<\/p>\n<p>The questions remain&#8230; What is the island?  What are The Others doing there on the island?  Why is Jacob imprisoned?   What does John hope to accomplish by killing Jacob?<\/p>\n<p>I think we&#8217;ll get some answers next week, along with a good look at that statue, but the rest is going to be left for the final season.<\/p>\n<p>Next week is a TWO HOUR Season Finale&#8230;. I&#8217;m looking forward to it!<\/p>\n<p>So, what did you think of tonight&#8217;s episode?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spoilers ahead Ha!
