The mysterious face of Jacob revealed in last night’s episode of Lost
Last night’s Lost has teased the viewer with the semi-revelation of Jacob, a man—or being—to whom the “others” are subject. He is the wizard of oz, the man behind the curtain. And, he has a face:
In the scene, Ben leads Locke to Jacob’s house where Ben presents to him an empty chair, claiming that in it Jacob sits. Ol’ Jake the Snake doesn’t like newfangled technology, like flashlights, and throws a poltergeist-style tizzy-fit. Ben yells at the empty chair, is thrown back, and in just a few frames of film we see this man above.
So just who is Jacob? He apparently needs something, eerily muttering directly to Locke, “Help me.” Being that his first name ain’t Rhonda, Tom Locke doesn’t have the help he needs.
Also, another story point changes our perception about something: Earlier in the season, the Losty gang had a good ol’ time finding an old VW van and the dead workman who drove it (with beer in the back seat). Now, we know that man is Ben’s gassed-to-death father. Yikes, that’ll teach him to forget Ben’s birthday.
