Does anyone else get the feeling that Sayid may now be Jacob re-incarnated? The note in the guitar case made saving his life through that ritual sound life or death for everyone at the temple so is it possible they had to lock-down the temple and give Jacob an "earthly" body like MIB did with Locke's?

[RaiZ-R]

I definitely think there is a link between the two now that was never there before. I know a lot of people are skeptical about the idea that Jacob is now within Sayid, but there's absolutely no other explanation as to why a dead man would come back to life. Sayid quite obviously died, as we saw Jack struggling to save his life and failing, some time late Sayid sits bolt up right and seems to be totally alive and totally confused.

Dead is dead, people. Only Jacob has shown any resurrectory powers thus far, when he touch John after he fell eight stories.

Which is not proven either. I agree, it certainly looked like Jacob brought John back to life, but he might as well just have survived the fall. People have survived worse.

[RaiZ-R]

Granted. But Locke didn't seem to be breathing until Jacob touched him... I agree that it's not a rock-solid argument though.

Didn't Ben also shoot Locke? I thought he died in that scene and then just came back to life after we saw Walt. I havent seen that scene in a while so I might just be remembering it wrong.

When Hurley is saying goodbye to a dead Sayid he turns to Miles and says "what?" Miles responds "Nothing". Since Miles can hear dead people maybe he meant he couldn't hear Sayid. Therefore Sayid never was completely dead.

yes ben shot locke, no locke didnt die, he healed quickly.

that could be but the guy said that he was dead and jack said that as well.

I think the note might have said something of the sort to bring Sayid to the pool and drown him in it and not to worry about it healing him because it won't.  They were surprised by this so the Asian dude tested it by cutting himself. It didn't heel him and he thought all right then, the pool is a different color, it's not healing me so lets go ahead and drown Sayid like the note said. Then Bam - Jacob takes Sayid's dead body.

i think and hope we find out what the note says tomorrow night.

[Phishhead]

I'm just hoping for a more creative way to deal with Sayid coming back, they already had MiB come back as Locke, it seems a bit to easy for the writers' to do the same with Jacob.

[Dreadnaut]

Dead is dead, right? They've said before that there is no coming back.

[TheManFromTallahassee]

I am pretty convinced that MiB is the good guy, however a lot of the last episode made me question it...

For one, the 'containment' of ol' smokey reminds me a lot of Lucifer being ejected from Heaven. His attempt to recruit Richard (who i have believed for a long time is, or is representing, an angel) continued this belief for me.

However, when ben killed Jacob, and Smokey kicked him into the flames, I guess i felt that was symbolic of Smokey being the good guy, rather than Jacob, and Jacob being cast out of Heaven into the lake of fire.

The fact also that Jacob resides in a false idol (Tawaret), and that the people in the temple practice necromancy, or bring people back from the brink of death, might show some sort of black magic. These people fear Smokey, so is he an angry Old Testament god? or is he the devil?

The fact that Jacob comes to people at a moment of weakness however could go either way for me. Either he is the light at the end of the tunnel, or he tempts the weak down a dangerous path... I havent made my mind up yet.

So anyway, I dont have a clear cut idea, but this is the areas I'm questioning at the moment.

The notes in the cross was a list, wasn't it?  He was making sure everyone that was there had their name on the lsit, so they wouldn't be shot down.  That's really the only explanation for why they had to give off each one of their names, and we've seen lists like that before.  When he said that the note said that we're all in a lot of trouble if your friend dies, I just think he meant since his name was on the list.

As for the resurrection.... I really hope we're not down to that.  We've all accepted time travel and columns of black smoke... not to mention morphing into other people and creating alternate realities... but if resurrection is entered into the plot, then we really can't take any near-death experiences characters have seriously.  If Jack explodes the next episode, we'd all be able to think, "Oh, well that's no big deal; Jacob'll bring him back in the next few episodes with his magic swimming pool." 

So far, Lost has not yet disappointed me with an explanation (besides the whole reason why Michael killed Ana Lucia and Libby... which... well... was a little ridiculous).  Though explanations such as why John appeared to be resurrected in Season 5 after the second plane crash, why the Oceanic 815 crashed in the first place, why Desmond built the pole for the lightning strike, etc. keep my faith in Lost alive.  I just hope they keep making sensible, reasonable explanations, no matter how unbelievable they may be... just as long as it is a logical step forward and not an excuse for suspense.
