The 1st scene in the finale of season 5 is both a powerful scene and one that provided a lot of input from many questions we want answers. Questions that are still not answered but are less mysteries than they were.
These items are...
* The Black Rock in the distance
* The timeline of the statue
* The 2 parts of Jacob
* The ash in Jacobs fire (thanks to the theory that gave me this idea - much kudos)
* The whole white and black thing
There are probably more, but these are going to become my points.
Now the main thing in that theory is...
THE RED HERRING
This, in my opinion, is the biggest thing the writers have done as a literary technique in lost. It is kinda like the red shirt characters out of the 815 survivors. (look up 'red shirts').
A red herring is (as per dictionary.com) 'something intended to divert attention from the real problem or matter at hand; a misleading clue.'
(Also, Red Herrings are smoked and where could one smoke a herring on lost ;) - I am not saying this is important, or relevant, it is almost funny - smokey?)
Now WHAT in that scene is a red herring?
* Jacobs lives on Red Herrings (in a food or non food way)
* The Black Rock in the distance ISN'T the Black Rock
* The Red Herring is being cooked OVER the ash (I cannot find who did this or the theory please come forward!). It has been theorised that this is the ash around the cabin.
* Is in someway to do with the statue
Or... (might not be right but THIS is my point).
* MIB & Jacob are the same person.
The writers have used a literary technique in the context of Red Herring OBVIOUSLY. Why SO Obviously? I feel using Jacob as 2 people is an easier way of explaining things to us without giving us the final answer. I believe they are the same person... AND HERE IS WHY!
FACT: A lot of people on here speculated that Miles & Baby Miles would be the incident (as per the rabbits in the orientation video). Them touching is a disaster waiting to happen if Miles touched his baby self. Why can't Flocke kill Jacob? Why does he need Ben to do this? Because they cannot touch. If they do I feel this would be a calamity - of MAJOR calamities.
In the finale we also saw Jacob touching certain losties in flashbacks. I feel this supports this theory but isn't being obvious. This has been a big part of the show. Look at Ben & Widmore. They can't kill each other. (Why they can't isn't relevant to this theory though it would be interesting if Widmore becomes the one to kill Flocke).
I feel the 2 Jacobs in that scene are 1 person battling with black and white. This would also explain how Jacob kinda knows what is happening when he is about to be killed and why we have all these other unresolved things such as him touching certain Losties. This is kinda an expansion of my earlier theory tonight on how we do not know WHICH Jacob touched which people. Once again, if everyone feels MIB is now Locke, then he is a good imposter. But if he can do that & they both look the same then why can't he just wear white and pretend to be Jacob?
Thank you for reading this. As always I just want to hear why or why not this is wrong, but more importantly what discussions in comments could come from this. I read 99% of theories so if someone else had this idea then please come forward and claim the backbone of this.
