Some thoughts on tonight’s upcoming episode of LOST.
At the end of last week’s premiere episode, Sayid, who had been brought to the healing spring at the Others’ temple suddenly woke up. I assumed when we saw that, that Sayid was healed, and that even though it didn’t work right away, somehow the spring ended up working and healing him, like it did for Ben back in the 1970′s. But what if Sayid wasn’t healed. What if Jacob possesses the same ability as his Nemesis—what if Jacob can inhabit dead bodies? What if Sayid is Jacob reincarnate? Will it be revealed right away? Probably not. If I were Jacob, and I’d just been killed by my nemesis, I think I’d want to lay low before revealing my cover. How are we to even know? We couldn’t tell that John Locke wasn’t himself until they showed it to us, right? I wonder how long Jacob could go on living as Sayid, undercover, until we’d find out.
I also wonder what happened to Claire. Surely it’ll be revealed in time, but considering that Jacob’s nemesis was posing as Jack’s dad, and lured Claire away from the survivors and away from her baby, I wonder what’s become of her. Jacob’s nemesis must’ve had some sinister plan, some larger plan, apart from just separating her from her baby. Although, perhaps that was what it took to get Kate to leave, and then come back from the island. If you put all the pieces together, I’m fairly confident that Jacob’s nemesis has been orchestrating things for a long, long time. I’m willing to suspect that perhaps the entire show has been about Jacob’s nemesis working to kill Jacob. Perhaps.
Maria and I will be watching LOST tonight, at 9EST. We’ll be twittering it again, like last week, and it was a lot of fun, so join us if you can. I’ll be blogging my complete thoughts on Wednesday. So, losties, stay tuned.
The difference here is that Jacob’s nemesis does not inhabit dead bodies. He takes the appearance of dead bodies that arrive on the island (Christian, now Locke). So Sayid is different because he didn’t arrive on the island dead. He died there, where the other two were actually flown to the island in coffins. I’m not saying that it has happened, but it would just be a different twist to the ability.
Are you sure, Curtis?
What about Ben’s daughter, who appeared to him in the Temple? It happened, conveniently, when Fake Locke was off to get a rope, to help Ben back up.
