We have no idea what the incident is but we know it is something bad.
I will go back to season 2 and the scene with Eko and Locke. Eko found missing pieces in the Arrow, in the Book of Law (interesting :)). They putt two parts together and watched the whole film together. At the same time we could see Michael wondering around the Swan waiting to push the button after 108 minutes. The missing pieces said not to use computer in any other purpose than pushing that button. And they put imperative not to use it for anything else like contacting the outside world or communicate with anyone on the island. So, nothing but entering the numbers or it can lead to another incident. In the same moment we see Michael talking to 'Walt'...we see Michael using the computer for something else but entering the numbers. Nothing happened except some people got killed and some got captured...I don't believe that will be our incident.
But what if Daniel or someone else tries to use that computer for communication...maybe that is why the computer was build, for entering the numbers and for communication? Communication with the Future..and something goes terribly wrong. Or communication with the outside world. And someone ends up talking to himself? I don't know why else would Chang forbid it and why would he say it could lead to another incident. Why put that option (communication) in a first place if it can do you harm??
But ok the incident happened and whatever caused it life went on after that. Chang made the tape after the incident right? But there has to be some kind of side effects?
I believe that this event made some phenomenons we saw during last few seasons. I believe that island was special. I believe it has some healing powers and it is hidden so even 'God can't see it' but still I believe the incident is the key event for this island.
Let's look at the time line. What we know for lets say 2 major mysteries of this island.
1. Smoke Monster
2. Jacob
1. According to the time line, first time we saw Smoke monster was in 1988 when Danielle saw it at the Temple, right? We never saw it in 1954 and that doesn't mean it is not there somewhere but we haven't seen it. During Dharma days, 3 years have passed and smoke monster was not seen as far as we know. Then comes 1988 and it is there. In 2004 it is every once in awhile attacking people...so where is it before 1988??? Maybe it never existed. We all took it for granted. But what if never existed before the incident? What if it is created by incident? What if some man who was involved directly to the incident became Smoke Monster? Another form of spirit similar to Jacob? Side effects?
2. Jacob. It goes the same. We have no idea when Jacob become what we know now. He was a man before he got trapped in the cabin. He sure looked like a man to me, sitting in that chair. Man who speaks English. And Others referred to him as HIM, brilliant MAN, not forgiving MAN...So the only evidence we have is Richard's reaction back in 1954, right? But then remember what else he said there. He said that they chose their leader at very young age. What if Jacob was a kid Richard was coaching for their next leader in that exact moment when Locke fell from the sky saying his name and claiming he is from the future? What if that was a prof to Richard that Jacob is really a man of great importance in the future. Or it was Locke who hinted Richard about Jacob, influenced him same way he did about himself? But Locke failed to mention that Jacob is a spirit trapped in the cabin by Ben because he assumed Richard already knows that right?
What if Jacob is a 10 year old kid back in 1954 future leader of the Others? But Widmore was their leader you will say. But Widmore was definitely not a leader in 1954. We saw that and heard LOUD AND CLEAR..Putt the gun down Widmore!!! And he did.
So Jacob will be their leader until the incident occurs. Then he will became spirit of some sort. Ben will trap him in Horace's cabin like we saw. Widmore will take over in an absence of the leader, temporary because Richard met a new kid who could maybe end up being their leader? So Charles was the leader for few years and then Ben coned him into leaving the island. Charles never said I was their leader for 30 years. He said simply I was their leader and that Ben tricked him into leaving the island. And that is truth. Technically he was their leader at that point. He said they ruled peacefully, protected the island for 30 years, never that HE ruled for 30 years. So the leader of the Others in the moment when incident occured became a spirit. Side effect of the incident.
Both Smoke Monster and Jacob are controlled by Ben. And they both are controlled from Dharma real estate :) One is in Horace's cabin. The other one is controlled from Dharmaville? Whose house was that before it became Ben's after the purge I wonder.. Or Smoke Monster is Dharma's property? But then why is it a security system for The Temple, the last sanctuary for the Others?
Thanks for reading..
