Well, that's a lot to chew on and a very long (long long long) time to wait until we get any answers. I really liked Jacob. I thought he had just the perfect look and demeanor. I will be very disappointed if that's all we get of him after four seasons of hearing about his...plans. I'm a little disappointed, also, that he wasn't able to play Nameless's (never heard that name given for the character before, but it works as well as any) game better. I can't imagine that he didn't have some idea that something was wrong, but other than his relatively unremarkable request that Ben "just go away" he didn't make any attempts to do anything to protect himself or avoid the confrontation.

I also don't really have any love for the fact that a mostly dead Juliette pounding on the bomb with a rock (apparently) set it off but it falling hundreds of feet didn't. Which says nothing for the fact that I can't fathom how she didn't die on impact or, failing that, get crushed by any of the large heavy metal objects getting sucked to the bottom. I'm kind of surprised Juliette made it this long without dying, so a fitting time for her to go. I just would've been perfectly happy for her to go when she slipped from Sawyer's grasp.

I don't think Daniel is right, if for no other reason than it would make everything that happened with Jacob, Locke, Not Locke, Ben and Richard completely irrelevant. Also, it'd vape all of the storylines we've seen play out for the last five years. Now...what would be VERY interesting would be for him to be partially right and to have everyone land safely in LAX, but remember everything that had happened. I think that's also unlikely, but I guess we'll have to see.

It never occurred to me that Nameless would be working against Jacob. I always assumed they were intrinsically linked entities. It also never occurred to me for even a second that Jacob would be so easily struck down by a simple stab wound with a knife. What lies in the shadow of the statute, indeed. Can it be January 2010 yet?
