    Ok, I 'm totally going with the theory that Jacob is a very old/dead/or trapped in time Jack. Here's why:

    -The recurring them of closeups on an eye. (I could be wrong, but) It only happens with two people - Jack and Jacob.

    -In the eye close-ups, both Jacob's and Jack's eyes are brown. (Ben and Locke's eyes are not, btw)

    -Right now, it seems Jack is the one taking the initiative with getting the bomb to save everyone. It puts him once again in a big leadership postion.

    -The show started with Jack, and has (for the most part) felt largely like Jack's story. It would be fitting to end the story with him as the central figure.

    -Episodically, Jacob was first mentioned by name in "I Do". According to 'other' Danny Pickett, Jack "wasn't even on Jacob's list".

    -The two other entities we've seen in Jacob's domain or prescence are Christian (Jack's father) and Claire (Jack's half sister, and daughter to Christian). If one were a time-trapped lonely entity who could call on minions for help, wouldn't one call on their family?

    -And darn it, would it be perfect for Jack's self-sacrificing character if he had to take the BIG BULLET for the whole island population and live out a very long lonely existence to make sure pieces fall in place for a final salvation of everyone else?

    -"Jack Shepard." Wouldn't this truly make him a shepard to all?

    • Good theories and reasoninglocustsloth
    • haha, I haven't paid that much attention to who Jacob is, to be honest. Good theory.juhls
    • For some reason that character does not interest me, but I'm sure that will change after the finale...juhls
    • After reading this I am more intrigued. Nice last few points (especially).juhls
