The main portion of my theory was that the Shepherds' have history on the island. The "execution" or the Black Rock part of it wasn't necessary to the theory. It was just a detail I created in my mind.

Something that I am curious about...In Cabin Fever, Locke asks Christian in the cabin if he is Jacob. Christian says, "No, but I can speak on his behalf." Is that true, or is he lying? What I mean is was he really on Jacob's side and speaking on his behalf? Did Jacob tell him to meet Locke there and talk to him? Or did MIB put him up to being there? Then, Christian meets Locke at the FDW to guide him. For the longest time, I just assumed he was working with MIB. The main reason being that he was at the barracks and told Sun that she needed to wait for John Locke, but the John Locke that she was waiting for wasn't really John Locke. Then I thought about the Egyptian symbol that Ilana found nailed to the wall of the cabin that told her where to find Jacob. Did Christian put it there to guide Ilana to Jacob? It's a little confusing to me.

@ Chris...I like where you're going!

i'm agree Shepard's are connected to the island, and i like this theory
but we have any news abut John Terry and Raymond Barry who played Christian and Ray? do you know if they will join the cast for season 6?

If Locke was the vessel to bring the MIB back, maybe Christian was the vessel for Jacob. Hmmm...

I like Anth's comment saying Christian was a DHARMA surgeon. That makes a lot of sense.

Perhaps reincarnation is the missing glue to the shepherd connection, or multiple shepard's in different realities.

Nice first post! Reintroduces the importance of the family connections to the mythology of LOST.

I agree with the title of the theory but not the execution. I don't know why they'd have anything to do with the Black Rock, and thinking of way to get them there seems a bit reachy. But I think it's possible for Christian to have been an Other surgeon or Dharma surgeon. This tenure would have begun and ended between 1954-74, so he would not have appeared on the island when we would have seen him (either 54 or 74). And if that were at all true, Jack may have been concieved (maybe even born?) on the island.

I mean, I kinda doubt even my idea would be true, but we know Christian's gotta have had some history with the island... Christian is defintely one of my favorite unsolved mysteries...

I also think your on to something with christian having some sort of history or connection to the island during his "life", the black rock thing is a bit of a stretch though. On a side note, I have always enjoyed the Ray is Jack theories. Just throwing that out there...

Ray seemed to know his job was to encourage Jack and give him the shoes. I think Richard was on the Island before the Black Rock arrived. Yeah, I agree the whole Shepherd family is important but I don't see the Black Rock connection yet.

I should have gotten more detailed with the first part about Christian and Ray being on the Black Rock. I rushed it. Grammar errors also.... Thank you guys for the kind words.

Sounds very original to me.....good effort.

You could very well be right. We don't know much about Christian as a child. He could have easily spent time on the island at some point in his life. His attitude is a lot like MIB's in the sense that he is logical but at the same time not willing to put that extra effort into something he thinks is pointless. Christian and MIB are very similar.
