Previously, on Lost: Before he dies at the hands of his own mother in the past, Dan sets in motion a plan to change the course of the future by using a hydrogen bomb to blow the crap out of a hole in the ground that houses massive electromagnetic energy. That sounds even crazier when you read it out loud. People, we’ve come a long way since the days when we got all excited because there was a single man at the bottom of the Hatch.
This week, on Lost: We open on the eye … of a spinning wheel. A lone man with handmade clothes and sandals sits at the loom, inside a stone room, creating what we soon discover is a tapestry, decorated with the Eye of Horus and some notations in Greek. We cut to the weaver outside, on a beach, where he wades into the water and fetches a conical fish trap. A solitary fish is caught inside. Our mystery man takes the fish to a heated rock, where he prepares it for his lunch. He sits against a log to eat, and stares out into the open ocean where a large sailing vessel approaches on the horizon. The man, as we shall soon find out, is Jacob.
A man, dressed in black, approaches and the two greet each other. Jacob offers him food, but he passes saying that he just ate. The man in black, let’s call him Esau for now, sits down and the two discuss the ship that is approaching. Esau knows that it was Jacob that allowed the ship to find the Island, and he speaks his mind. Esau tells Jacob that it will always end the same, with people bringing fighting, destruction and corruption. Jacob tells Esau that it doesn’t end, that there is only one ending and that everything before that ending is simply progress. Esau squares his jaw and looks at Jacob. “You have any idea how badly I want to kill you? One of these days, sooner or later, I’m going to find a loophole, my friend.”
Jacob looks back, calmly, “Well when you do, I’ll be right here.”
