Hello DarkUFO and greetings to all you lost fans. This is my first post and I'm going to try to keep it short and sweet. First off I just want to say how much I've enjoyed reading all your theories and how incredibly well thought out many of them are. However, I fear the real answers to our biggest questions will everything we hoped.
As I said, this is my first theory and though I feel strongly enough about it to post it up here I'm not entirely sure I actually believe it. As you no doubt have guessed, the theory is in the title. John will kill Jack, and then Jack will become Jacob.
there's alot of evidence to support this but I'm not very good at laying such things out so I'll just simply do it bullet points as they come to me.
1: Jack is the main character on the show and has some important destiny to fulfil on the island. And I'm not sure that destiny will be fulfilled in his current, living, mortal form. I'm thinking back to 'Stanger in a Strange Land' and the translation of the tattoo's - 'He walks among us, but he is not one of us'.
2: Locke's intentions to kill Jacob. Many belive this referes to killing the 'illusion' of Jacob, which I think is very valid. However, just the phrasing of the way John says the words ' I'm going to kill him' does sound very much like he intends to, for lack of a better word, actually kill someone.
But he's going to kill someone who is currently a mortal living human being.
Also, since Locke met up with Richard they've been running around completing these little tasks -- the beach craft scene -- in order to maintain the flow of this time loop that seems to be going on, if indeed that's the case. So, I'm thinking this journey out to Jacob is another one of these tasks and something Locke must do or the time loop will break. I think by the time Richard brings them to the destination of wherever Jacob resides, will coincide with the result of whatever Jack is going to do in the 70's with the bomb and transport him back into the future to meet up and thus experience a reunion with John only to be killed by him.
I have many other thoughts on this but I said I'd keep it short. But like I said, I'm not sure I believe it because there is just so much evidence building for the case that Jack is Jacob, I'm starting to think that Darlton are just building up up for a red herring.
I know this is a horribly written theory, but thank you to those who've taken the time to read it.
