So what exactly is Jacob? Can someone explain to me? Like a spirit, idea, etc?

Yeah I miss the ginger chick. :(

I loved the first season of this show, however halfway through the second season it just seemed so utterly pointless so I stopped watching it.

^Then go away. :P

I had a thought that maybe he's somebody we've known all along, somehow trapped in the past or something...

Another theory: Adam and Eve = Jack and Kate. Thoughts?

I'm starting to get a bit bored of them being stuck in the Dharma Initiative in 1977. It seems like they've been dragging this on for weeks now. They just don't seem to be going anywhere with it. It just seems to be background information more than anything.

I was hoping that when they announced they had a definite timetable for wrapping up the show it would start to get more tightly plotted & faster moving but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm quite enjoying the stay in Dharmavillie... probably because I've been fascinated with it since Season 2. And since I relate a bit with the characters I know I would like to stay in a nice comfortable house instead of a nasty sweaty jungle... But yeah, from the previews it looks like next week you'll get your wish.

And I have a feeling this time travel thing won't be over for a while... what with Daniel coming back.

I beg to differ. I feel it's certainly going to go somewhere and we'll probably learn more about The Others than ever before. And Dharma too.

Not to mention, what's gonna happen to Sayid? Is Desmond gonna return? And what has Daniel been up to? I expect some interesting answers to these questions and also this whole "what lies in the shadow of the satue" thing.

Well Daniel's goal is obvious, he's coming to tell baby Charlotte not to come to this Island.

But then why can no one see him?

and nah, Lost isn't THAT symbolic.

I think he probably already did that... about three years ago before he left on the sub.

And Adam and Eve aren't symbolic, they are the nicknames of the two skelitons Jack and Kate found in the Caves way back in season 1.
