Hey guys! Its been a while and glad to be back in the swing of things.. but that episode, speachless.
Anywhoooo, quick theory.
Desmond is essentially playing the "Jacob" role off island, in the alter-verse... right? Well I think that he is obviously playing the same role on island now, as well.
Fake Locke, pushed Des down the well, which did not kill him. He CAN NOT kill him, just as he was not able to kill Jacob. He has to set someone else to kill him.. enter.. Sayid.
Jacob, seemed to have this persuasive nature about him, jsut as the man in black did. If he speaks to you, it is already too late.. It seemed like what ever Desmond said to Sayid, set him back on the "right path" becuse he did in fact sacrifice himself for our losties...
To make a Long story even longer, I feel like, Jacob, and MIB are one in the same. Originally, there was not a case where there were these two random guys chillin on an island trying to murder one another.. I believe it was more along these lines..
"Jacob" is a representation of mankind, each man, woman and child, has two sides. One good, one Evil.
"Jacob" is on this island to play out the everlasting struggle between the two. "Jacob" is not a man but a personification of humanity as a whole.
The island, is seen as the "puppet master" playing out this experiment over and over and over on a loop. The Island is bringing people to the island, one at a time, to fulfill their purpose as vessels for "jacob" to hold. For a long time it is jsut the original form of MIB and Jacob. Then when those "vessels" are destroyed, other ones come and take the place. IE Locke and Desmond. The whole idea and the whole purpose of the Losties as Candidates, is to see which has the capacity to demonstrate to the island, that good is essentially more powerful than evil. At this point, evil will be conquered. The island, or the "cork" will no longer be needed to keep the wine in the bottle. Or the evil contained in the human spirit. Because it has seen that it is possiblle to contain and conquer it. The island is the puppet mster, its purpose, to see which direction the moral compass of humanity will ultimately point, after an eternity of spinning needles.
On a side note, this is also why "Jacob" can not kill MIB and Vise versa, because evil can exist without good. And since they are one in the same, killing one would ultimately be destroying the other.
