Has anybody thought to connect Jacob & Esau to the Jacob & Esau brothers story in the Bible? In the Bible, Jacob wants to win his father's blessings before Esau, so he deceives his father into believing he IS Esau & does receive the 'blessings' that were intended for Esau. When Esau learns of the deceipt he is angry & intends to kill Jacob, but Jacob flees, wrestles with an angel of God ... etc.? Neither of them, 'the bad guy', really - Jacob prospers, repents, & eventually seeks out his brother Esau to seek his forgiveness ...etc. Dont think i'm able to make a connection between the two myself though. But certainly b/c of their names, there is some parallel of some sort. New to your site so pardon me if this has already been mentioned.

I'm glad you're all enjoying my ramblings, and it sounds like it got a lot of your wheels turning. I think we're in for a great season, and I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode.

I guuess we'll see...<br><br>One more thing about the moment Jack was in front of the mirror. Why was there that incredibly sad music? It was almost melancholy. Did you hear that? That's definitely no coincidence. I'm sure there is somethign that the writers wanted to tell us. I could imagine both scenarios: 1) The newly created reality will be the dominant one: The island will be destroyed and the Losties somehow sent to this new reality. 2) There is really an 8 shape-time paradox going on. The actions within this new reality are causing everything that happened in the "crashing on the island"-reality. Congratulations on this article!

Love it! I never caught the Desmond-paint-on-the-neck thing. However, I was reminded of the wound on Faraday's neck (which you catch a glimpse of during the "Previously, on LOST" segment before the episode begins. I'm not really sure what's going on, but it certainly feels like the first season all over again. :) Definitely an intense article! Love it! I never caught the Desmond-paint-on-the-neck thing.

Chicken and the egg can't exist without each other.

Jack will fix Locke, causing him to walk when he wakes up on the island. We will see jack get the cut on his back that he woke up with in the pilot. etc…

When Locke first saw the monster I believe it was Jacob. Every time after that I think it was the MIB...Or I'm totally wrong. Whatever.

But, which one will be the dominant theory? Now that's a good mystery. We have two perfectly good realities, and now we have to find out which one is dominant. Could it be that the re-set is dominant, and that's how the show ends? Or being blasted to 2008 on the island? <br><br>Amazing. The paradox theory makes complete sense.
