tbh i'd say the whispers being 'trapped' has more in common with how the mib is trapped on the island. The island is a cork, it keeps the 'evil in'. These ghosts that are all trapped on the island have also done 'bad' or 'evil' things i.e. michael. So i'd say they have more in common with each other than it actually turning out to be purgatory which the writers have shot down on dozens of occasions.
LOST..... How do you think it will end
- Thread starter [TFU] Thegoon84
- Start date
The fight between the Egyptian demon (Apep aka MIB) and demi-god (Sobek or some agent of Ra aka Jacob) ends with Apep not getting off the island (the cork to his prison) because Hurley becomes the new jail keeper and richard with the help of the other candidates manage to defeat Apep.
The statue was built in honor of Apep's (now dead?) wife, who was the goddess of childbirth... which also ties in with why there are problems bearing children on the island.
The noise of chains when Apep takes his smoke monster (snake) form are symbolic of him being shackled in his prison.

how come it was so easy to kill jacob? yet it seems like MIB is invincible. how come they couldnt kill each other? but jacob was able to be killed by ben? there are so many questions which will remain un answered.
i think the writers really do need to do a series where its just them in front of a microphone with people emailing in questions.
there also arent problems bearing children on the island. there are only problems bearing children that have been conceived on the island.
i also think that claire's child is MIB or someone else within the series. there was so much about him becoming evil, etc. so im pretty sure that when he grows up he travels back in time, so that although hes in the past he is now an adult. he could be widmore or locke. either that or it will remain one of the unsolved questions

That's just his theory on how the show will end.
This is becuase MiB is always there, Jacob was a mere 'prison' guard if you like, nothing amazing, as said, a demi-god, so he can be killed. We don't know why Ben could kill him and MiB couldn't. If you remember in the 1st season, Locke sees what he described "A white light of beauty" or something simliar which was the white smoke monster, yet to see. This also fits in with the black and white stones we saw in the cave and also the recurring theme of black and white, if you remember Locke's eyes in Claire's dream, one was black one was white.
The writers are writing a "LOST encyclopedia" which aims to answer some unexplained questions as they didn't have time to answer them all in the show. They have said they will answer the Hurley bird though, amog with a lot of others.
Yes I know there are children on the Island, Apep's wife is Goddess of child birth (would show why children cannot be born), not children.
A lot of people think Aaron is Jacob/MiB. Can't wait for this weeks episode.

Also interesting is this about the little boy that keeps appearing. It's worth noting that MiB seems to have all of Locke's memories, as he expressed when he said he knew Locke's dying thoughts. This would explain why MiB was so shocked when he first saw the little boy. We see Locke as a young teenager in i've forgot which season.
My first thoughts were that it was a young Jacob. However they are both equally viable suggestions, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. One things for sure, and thats that MiB seems to be threatened by him.

children can be born on the island, they just need to be conceived off island.
alex and aaron were both born on the island. but conceived off island.
you cannot however have sex with someone on the island then they get pregnant and then give birth. because they will die along with the baby before birth takes place. this is another mystery which remains unsolved.
MIB said he needed a loophole and he found that loophole with forcing ben to do it. maybe that means that, only a candidate can kill the guard of the island. therefore meaning that only then after he is dead can a new candidate become the new guard.
if your confused this means that you cant have 2 guards on the island at the same time. therefore before a new guard was made, the old guard would have to die and the only way the old guard could die is if he was killed by a candidate. killing the guard would then start the "election" process or something.
Ben isn't/was ever a candidate.

i got it now.
you know how ben and sayeed where saved from dying by being took to the temple and put in the water. and then they done a test to say sayeed had changed and the others said ben would never be the same again. i think that may be the loophole. they were supposed to die or something and were changed or brought to life somehow, something happened which gave them the power to be able to kill jacob/MiB. because the chinese guy trys to get sayeed to kill Mib but he fails because he talks to him.
Yes he was (hes now been crossed off and is out of the running now ofc), scroll down to 117 on the list at the bottom.
Any name written on that wall was for a potential candidate as far as we know. Linus was also written on the wheel at the lighthouse.
Although is a longshot that it could be referring to Roger Linus, his father but its very unlikely. Its most definitely Ben.

so i could be right about the whole candidate thing then. at least ive managed to figure at least one thing out. another million to go and i might be getting somewhere.
what i dont understand now is that, since Jacob is now dead, why doesnt the MiB leave?
how was jacob able to get on and off the island so many times?
MiB could just take the sub, so why were they wanting to only destroy the plane? did they not know about the sub? what method was jacob using because MiB would use that instead.
something else that needs answered is the whole being in 2 dimensions at once, which happened to desmond and faraday. how could they switch between both dimensions? this meant that there were already 2 paths and now we are seeing them again.
MiB cannot cross water, iirc, Locke blows up the sub from Dharma and the sub that is now on the island is Widmores full of his people which built the fence so MiB cannot get in.
I dont think he can cross while in his smoke moster form. However, he can make his way across if hes in John Lockes form and in a boat, as has been shown in one of the episodes this season. But i dont think that means he can leave the immediate vicinity of the island. The hydra island is relatively close afterall.

they built the fence on land, the sub is in the sea. the fence as far as i am aware doesnt even cut off where the pier is, they built it further in shore. so he can get to the sub and he can cross water and go inside water in john locke's form, but not as the smoke monster.
