I'm stopping now because my mind is starting to spin again.

To continue to protect the island. (Thus having to take him to die in the temple instead of the Jungle)

Originally Posted By hopemax That hasn't been explicitly revealed, but it is a logical conclusion. It seems set up to have an "other worldly" battle between Jacob and the Man In Black. So Jacob would have to be not dead. The most logical body for him to take would be Sayid's. The whole idea annoys me because we also watch Supernatural. On that show, Lucifer wants Sam's body, the archangel Michael wants Deans body, and to complicate things Lucifer is played by the guy who plays Jacob on Lost. It feels like someone is ripping off someone. Supernatural is "farther along" so it feels like Lost is the one ripping off another show.
Originally Posted By Longhorn12 >Lost is the one ripping off another show< There is no original idea anymore. This sort of thing has happened before in many different shows/books/etc.
Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, so I see how y'all can think that about Sayid now, BUT.... didn't the message Hurley delivered tell the Japanese dude that they were all in trouble if Sayid died? If so, then what y'all are saying doesn't make sense, since Sayid DID die if you're right... Also, is ash keeping away the MIB something we already knew about, or is that something we learned early on in last night's episode when we saw the monster in smoke form? Also, I about cried when MIB/Locke was telling Ben what Locke's last thought was.
Originally Posted By Longhorn12 > the message Hurley delivered tell the Japanese dude that they were all in trouble if Sayid died< That is what the man said. We have no idea what is actually on the letter. I think it may have been a checklist of "Good" people. Since they started asking names and panning back and forth from the Japanese guy going down the letter to the Group.
