    Not Tom anyway, because when Ben was captured.. Went like this.
    Ben: He'll never give you back Walt.
    Jack: The bearded man.
    Ben: He's nothing.
    Something to that effect. But yeah we havent seen Jacob.

    Its not as if Ben would have just given away Jacob like that in the first place. I would not have paid much attention to that statement by Ben.

    We don't know that either. We may have seen the Jacob figure and never realised it.

    I don't listen to Podcasts so i am not sure. I personally feel we have not seen Jacob but you never know.

    It has been confirmed we havent seen him. No new information on him from the Brig, but we'll find out next week.

    Actually, the writers have confirmed that Jacob could be hiding in plain sight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    Could it be that guy with the mascara who recruited Juliet? The writers also said that we saw the smoke monster in Season 2 but didn't recognise it. Anyone got any new theories on what that was?

    When Walt appeared to Shannon I reckon. It got her killed.

    When was this confirmed?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭rip2roar


    Podcast, well, hmm, tenner bets that jacob will be
    Bens Imaginery Friend
    or something along those lines. I said it first! Remember that! I'm going out on a limb, but there you go! Im probably wrong!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,574 ✭✭✭ZiabR


    Nah Jacob is or was a real entity. Not only Ben believes in him/it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭PullMyFinger!


    Just a day to go before we find out.

    From that recent EW interview:

    LINDELOF: And more importantly, we meet Jacob — the elusive, unseen, presumed leader of the Others — for the first time. And this is a character who is every bit as significant to our universe as the Emperor was to the Star Wars universe — a character that you didn't get to meet until Return of the Jedi but was referred to all through the preceding films. Jacob is a guy who is going to have a very significant, ongoing sort of story value in our show.

    Could Jacob have been the
    the 4 toed statue and it was worshiped by old Dharma?

    Ok.

    Ok, thats a long shot :D

    Is this confirmed? If so then ohhh yeah!!!

    jacob when translated from hebrew means heel so it could be something to do with the four toed heel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Haven't a Clue


    I've changed my mind for no apparent reason. I reckon there is no Jacob and Ben's just making him up. Dunno why, but it's a late bet...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,462 ✭✭✭projectgtr


    well not long till we find out but im going with desmond(off to paddy powers now :)

    Leaning this direction as well but there may be more to it than that. Hell, we may not even find out tonight.

    Agreed :) but doesn't it seem a bit early to reveal Jacob? I mean here we are discussing who he might be but I doubt the casual viewer has even caught mention of him yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I think Jacob is Dave!!! Anything to be said for that? I miss Dave. I hope Hurley goes insane again in season 4 so we get to see Dave again!!!

    Well we have started to hear the name Jacob thrown around alot more often in the last half of season 3. I think it was the writers plan to reveal Jacob or at least part of him this season, maybe we won't really find out alot about him until the finale.
