Re: The Official Lost: The Final Season Thread (Warning: Possible Spoilers)

it doesn't seem like there are very many lost fanatics here, but in case there's one or two of you, maybe you can help me out. i feel like the show has told us enough to figure out what everything is building to, but i can't quite piece it together. maybe you guys can help me out. here are, what i beleive to be crucial facts to figuring things out:

1. jacob and the man in black are enemies, although there is some indication that they used to be friends
2. God used to love Jacob, but now he doesn't
3. the man in black is trying to go home
4. while we are led to beleive jacob is good, all we have seen jacob do is lie to and manipulate people
5. while we are led to believe the man in black is bad, all we have seen him do is tell the truth and ask them to make a decision
6. one of the major themes of the show is redemption
7. everyone on lost has daddy issues. Could it be that Jacob and/or the man in black do as well?
8. Lost is filled with judeo-christian religious symbolism
9. God can't see the Island (According to Ben, atleast)

The only theory i can think of so far that fits in with pretty much everything we've seen on Lost is that the MIB and Jacob were the two angels that God sent to keep people out of the Garden of Eden. However, Jacob decided to start letting people back in, and this is the source of the conflict between the two "men." I don't think that this theory is 100% correct, but I think its on the right track. What say you? What are your theories?
