- From ABC's Lost: Jacob explains the island to newcomer Richard. The island is the cork keeping the evil from reaching the rest of the world. Very nice imagery and a very important scene.

The actor that plays Richard does such a phenomenal job in these flashbacks, you wouldn’t even think it’s the same guy

"Why should I have to step in?"
"If you don't, he will!"

LMAO. That's exactly what I thought.

First time Jacob realises that some action has to be done, then a small smirk as he finds solution
@@LazlaTheFallen exactly what I was thinking
This episode was like a movie in itself. This is why I LOVE LOST.
One of the most important scenes in the entire show. Epic.
My opinion the best episode in the entire series. Flawlessly written unlike other episodes.
Emotionally one of the most tragically poetic arcs of the entire series. Richard Alpert is a man who lost everything in an instance and became a victim of his own desperation...living in his personal hell for many decades longer than any other man.
2021, PREACH.
Exactly, each one character story can be made into another awesome series or a movie ❤️
I love that in the hundreds of years Jacob had existed on the island, it took Richard telling him, "If you don't, he will" to realize, "Shit, I might need an assistant."
That's how dumb you can get when you only talk to 2 people during the first 1800 years of your life
Yeah, great writing. Really going to depths unknown by anyone over 14.
Yeah, that was kinda stupid.
Maybe the thing is that Jacob thought that MiB would try to corrupt every candidate so Jacob has to surrender at one time.
But Richard told him this, and Jacob realized that maybe at some point MiB instead of corrupting and killing candidates would end up using them to kill Jacob, find an exploit in the rules, that he end up doing.
It's incredibly stupid because even if, for some reason, after hundreds of years, he decided to suddenly step in, why not do it himself? Why does he need an "intermediary" now if he's committed to "stepping in"?
This show is the king of deep-sounding, cool-looking, well-crafted, well-acted scenes that say absolutely fucking nothing.
@@terracottapie the mother created the rule where they couldn't kill each other. That's why Jacob uses the cave to punish nemesis instead of just murdering him on revenge.
Are you the Devil? No thats the different show.

yeah Richard's role in lost got him a role in dark knight and rises
or I want to marry Norma Bates
even the Devil laughed at this one
Shame we never got to see much of Richard except in the last season.
I think thats what makes his character so mysterious and intriguing tho.
Agreed. I think Richard had a whole lot more to explore.

Mark Pellegrino was so awesome in both this as Jacob and Supernatural (as Lucifer). His portrayal of both characters is just chilling. This particular ep is still my favourite in the whole series.
Irony.
He is phenomenal! You are so right! Not just any actor could have made it work and made it so human, so touching!
He basically just explained the entire premise of the series.

LOST FOREVER. KEEP REWATCHING SINCE 2007
Sameeee
After 10 long years since Lost ended I’m still here, enjoying beautiful scenes, witty dialogues and everything else this true masterpiece of a show gave to us. And I could still read four hours about theories and what ifs. L❤️ST
Same.
Same here.
So true. I remember being obsessed with this show. I remember once in the supermarket having discussion about the show with my wife. We were so into it, that everywhere we went, all we did was dissect the whole show in its entirety. It was amazing how obsessed the both of us were with this show.
same and it is now 2023
Time flies
Richard: But why male models?
Jacob: Are you serious? I just explained...
Fuckin hilarious!
Enter Hurley
I feel like im taking crazy pills!
Lolol, as much as I've heard that Stiller is a dick in rL, the man is damn funny, that line wasn't even in the script xD
This scene is how The Others began.
Jacob's words "yes, many" also say that the Others are just yet another bunch of people who got to the Island one way or another, and they're not really special or different from the survivors.
B Rumm yeah and everyone git a background, some sadder than the others, but we are still all humain and we still wants to do what’s "right" in our own way and it always brings chaos
Aren’t the others the original Dharma people? The people Jacob brought to the Island long ago are the natives/hostiles
@@Grande79 no dharma was essentially doing what the man in black was trying to do, exploit the source of the island. The others were probably adventurers who ended up there, appreciated the history of the island and realised the forces there need to be protected, the others were simply trying to protect the islands origin
Jacob's theme is really beautiful, so mysterious and so beautiful, thanks to the tritone
I hope people still know this is the greatest show there has ever been!
By far, nothing comes close and I've watched tons of shows
@@92ShadowDragon yes, as much as I like to say shows like True detective season 1 and Attack on Titan are strong contenders for number 1, they are just nothing compared to this show.
I wish I could forget my memories of Lost and watch it again for the first time. Watching it for the 7th time just isn't the same :(
This is not the greatest show in the world. (It is just a tribute.)
... no seriously, I have troubles calling this the greatest show. It's very good, but there's a lot of problems with it which holds the show back.
@@PlagueSan watched it for the first time a month ago
Miss this show so much
When he touches him on the shoulder, it gives me chills. The power he has, in order to grant immortality like its nothing lol. Amazing episode.
"Are you the devil?"
That smile.
"I am on Supernatural."
I think this is my favorite episode. It tells a classic tale. The temptations of evil. The discipline of the good. And the trials of mankind.
Jacob's philosophy is perfectly in line with the themes the show has explored since S1.
I love how this major character and his whole philosophy explains so much of the major themes explored through all our characters, how it turns out that ultimately in the end the show's mythology is intrinsically tied to the simple questions of human nature - that just as the writers wanted the show to be about exploring them, they actually created the character of Jacob to represent the key arbitrator at the heart of all these events.
He, as much as the writers, wanted to bring together as many different flawed people, a true representation of human nature, good and bad and all in between, and explore just what they could be capable of when left to their own devices - could they learn to live together and help lift one another up and perhaps even aspire to give themselves to an even higher cause, to think beyond what you see and learn to believe in what you cannot, or would they let their nature and basest instincts of survival let them turn on one another, to instead of learning to give themselves to a higher cause either ignore it, disbelieve it or even worse try to take advantage of that higher power and try claim it for themselves?
Jacob's human experiment of sorts was the perfect way to explain the meandering journey the show took, and it made perfect sense of why he let it take as long as it did, and yes it's true - it really would have meant nothing if he stepped in and told them what to do. He had to let them discover it for themselves, as we all have to in life.
To me it's just so satisfying, and it totally pays off all the episodes spent exploring these characters not just from a character development point of view, but also from a thematic sense as they each through their varying types of storylines were still all unified in the sense that they all were ways in which these central questions could be explored.
Perfect, perfect writing!
Mr. Cox, that was such a wonderful, well written paragraph. I couldn't have said it any better, sir, bravo!!!!
@@TheGonzoArt Thank you!!!
Beautifully written, It is a microcosm of our lives here on earth
Nailed it!👌🏻
Watch it again, Jacbob is totally in control and guiding Ricard into accepting the role, he asks "Why should I have to step in?" on purpose just to that reaction from Ricard.
Just like to point out something many missed from this episode - it effectively explains the strange religious like way The Others regarded Jacob - almost like a god. Richard became the first Other following this conversation and he was very religious. Jacob pretty much was a god of sorts to him after this and one whose plan he devoted himself utterly to from that point on. Therefore when the first group of people that came to the island after arrived he guided and intervened, which included passing onto them the religious regard for Jacob, as he began forming them into the society we know from the show. Ab Aeterno is as much an origin of how The Others came into being as it is an explanation of how Richard came to the island. Richard is the core of their society - the constant, always guiding them from his advisory position
Just watched Lost again….binged in a week from beginning to the end…boy how much I missed so many details as we waited a week at a time during the original run…now that all episodes are available and we can watch them back to back…Lost is one of the greatest show of all time….if anyone loved this show at one time, I strongly suggest to watch it again in its entirety…now more than a decade later, I truly appreciate how original and interesting this show truly was…and how well it aged to stand in time even in 2022….I am so glad that I decided to watch Lost again…can’t say the same about GOT
It's sad lost didn't explain everything though but I still think it's my fav show ever
@@higurk They did explain everything it just wasn't all in your face like a lot of other shows. Theres heaps of clues and answers if you pay attention.
@@andofb no there's loads of plot holes and unexplained things. I would know I was on various forums at the time of the show I would discuss with others back in the day. everyone agrees with me. They basically made the story as they went along hence alot of things made no sense. Lost went from potentially one of the best shows ever to basically amazing first 2 seasons and then downhill sadly.
@@higurk Can you list some plotholes? Cause off memory from watching it a few years ago they answered most of the stuff people complain that they didn't answer.
Many people were casual viewers back then because of the week to week episode releases and there being no streaming services.
I think Ab Aeterna is my favorite episode of Lost
jmlrugby11 same
So a great freaking show. This score is amazing.
“ if you don’t he will”

"Are you the devil"

LIES.
+melodyy xx i thought the Devil was the man wearing black. gotta watch this show again..
+Dave Fonseca He's making a joke; the actor for Jacob also plays Lucifer (the devil) in another show called Supernatural
ah ok. didnt know that
In Gnosticism the Jewish YHWH or the Christian Father is the Demiurge an evil malevolent God and the Devil is the liberator of man's mind. This idea fits somewhat, I'm rewatching the show with this in mind but we haven't met Jacob and the MIB yet.
RikuSage holy crap that was a year ago ?
2:10 Logic checkmate.
+Perseus Wong
haha, yup
Jacob was like "I've never thought of that!"
I Love his theme its so mystrious yet soothing
Early in the show seasons I thought that Richard was maybe a villain but this episode with Richard and Jacob was epic It was so cool we finally got to know the backstory of this mysterious cool character and why he never aged.
"Why would God do such horrible things to a good person just to prove a point to Satan?"
"Oh... uhhh... I don't know."
It's not about proving a point it's about keeping the evil/man in black in the island.
The island is his/its prison from spreading all over the world and manipulating everyone to only be evil. Everyone outside the island still has free will and can chose to be good or evil but I'd the ma. In black escapes they dint have that choice its similar to what the man in black does to Locke but it wants to do to everyone if it leaves the island
I think you misinterpreted one of the main themes of the show...the theme is that things we label as evil (such as the smoke monster, Ben, Sawyer, etc.) are capable of compassion and act with reason (the smoke monsters wants to leave because he has been lied to and he shows great pain when the people who his working with were killed bu his mother). Jacob, representing the light and good, is capable of evil deeds himself when he throws his brother in the pit knowing that something really bad will happen to him as a result.
richard: "are you the devil"
jacob: *war flashbacks to the cage with michael*
jacob: "no"
the last 35 seconds of this scene are an extraordinary delight
Lost has such a beautiful soundtrack in all seasons
"Are you the devil?"
"No"
YEAH SURE LUCI.
The island is Lucifer's cage.
Supernatural :)
Ridhwanpop Yes xD
Martyna Durska Was looking for this! xD
Best theory ever
Demon Knight Dean after season 12's events, I'm almost positive "the man in Black" was a physical representation of Amara (the darkness, because who says cosmic deities always have be gendered?)
Which means this has to be when Lucifer first held the mark of Cain (aka the keys to Amara's cage), a mark which inevitably corrupted him and was passed to Cain before Lucifer was locked in Hell.
Which means, this island is a gateway to Amara's cage.
This could just be titled "God speaking to a prophet; an Allegory."
I love how this one scene both gave an important revelation about the nature of the island and why the 815 survivors were left to survive instead of being helped by him. So much to take in from a few minutes, what a great bit of storytelling
This one, and Across the Sea are the two best Lost episodes by far to me....you learn what the heck the whole thing is about!
Richard: Are you the devil?
Jacob: yes
Richard: oh, okay... *sips hot cocoa*
The lost series was filled with top actors.. brilliant actors .... now go watch the 100. You start to cry
One of so many great moments of that show
You know I also liked the exchange where Richard is asking Jacob to bring back his wife. The way Jacob pauses, implies to me that, he *could* potentially bring back Richard's wife, but knows it would be wrong and maybe not the way Richard wants. Then when Richard asks the second request, to abolish his sins, Jacob says pretty frankly he can't, meaning that, despite all he can do, it's impossible to undo a person's sins. Least that's how I always interpret it
Yeah I believe that too - perhaps he could bring people back in the same way that MIB brings Sayïd back, where he loses all of his emotions. And besides, we find out later in the episode that Isabella is at peace with dying and says that it was her time. This is also implied in "Across The Sea" when Mother tells Jacob and MIB that the light represents Life, Death and Rebirth. So I like your theory very much and believe it to be true, not that it changes the course of the show in any way but it's a nice thing to think about!
@@thechickennuggetoffate9139 Nothing really happened to Sayid... they simply believed something had happened to him.
We know Sayid had emotions still because he asks to be with Nadia again, then decides to let Desmond live, then finally sacrifices himself to save the others in the sub.
@@FurryWulfz he was still affected by MiB. He was under his controll and worked for him. He hesitated to shoot Desmond at first. Something the real Sayid wouldn't ever do. He hates violence and killing especially if he has to do it to a friend
Wow sharp eyes there, Nice!
The upside to believing that you have sin that needs absolution, is that you need simply ask for absolution for it to be given. Richard is just asking the wrong guy.
" if you don't, he will " woops, didn't think so far
The episodes going back to Jacob and MiBs days were absolutely brilliant. Answered so many questions about LOST.
I just love this show and these two characters.
Awesome Show
Here is how I interpret the core elements of the central story told in LOST:
Mother is the Protector of the Island to whom the Black Smoke obeys originally (basically to eliminate those who are perceived as a dangerous threat to the Island). Things change when she is killed and when Jacob's brother is thrown into the cave. At this moment, the Black Smoke liberates itself from its initial function by absorbing Jacob's brother vital essence and by adopting his identity. From this precise moment, the Balance which existed on the Island is disrupted. The Protector of the Island (Jacob) cannot control the Black Smoke anymore; it's even worse than that: the Black Smoke becomes his enemy with opposite goals (it/he wants to kill Jacob and to leave the Island). This is why Jacob starts to bring new people to the Island: he wants them to find a way to stop the new Black Smoke, as it/he reinforces chaos on the Island.
When Desmond removes the cork and the Light in the Heart of the Island goes out, the extraordinary properties of the Island disappear. The Black Smoke becomes human (unknowingly to itself/himself, its particular form was always connected to the Light). Jack kills him and then restores the Light again. That's how the problem created by Jacob thousands of years ago is resolved. A new cycle begins with Hurley as the Protector of the Island. The Black Smoke reappears as an impersonal force where it originally belongs: in the Heart of the Island. Balance is reestablished. The Protector of the Island can summon the Black Smoke and use it, but knowing Hurley and his personality (his kindness and intrinsic non-violence) one can presume that he won't do that, as he will try to find more pacific ways to resolve conflict with the potential "threats" to the Island.
Good explanation. I just wish they would do another series about the different time periods since all that stuff is still mysterious. Like the Egyptian Statue, how did it get there? And who protected the island before Jacob's mother did? Who is she and how did she receive her power? Honestly I guess the answers would probably disappoint
well, your interpretation sounds really good to me
so jacob's brother when he went into the heart of the island, the smoke monster took his soul and liberated itself. After john Locke(smoke monster) was killed by jack, jack went in to heart of the island to plug the hole. If what you say is true that smoke monster is back in heart of the island now after Locke(smoke monster form) died and jack plugged the hole, does that mean that when jack came out, he was smoke monster again?
I would also add, that the Black Smoke is probably just that: Nothing but 'Sound and Smoke', and so it has no power of its own. It is an illusion that represents fear, and so only starts to gain power over people, when they become afraid of it and are starting to try to defend themselves against it. It obscures the light, just like fear obscures the truth.
Cool explanation
still my fav episode from Lost
Mine too, i love this scene, both actors are so great!
This is the beginning of the Others, great iconic moment of the show, answering the question that's been plaguing our minds since season three when we learned that Richard doesn't age.
I just want to know what numbers mean man!
@@yeetbra9485 I hear you, my friend!
Goddamit, that was an amazing episode, with an amazing metaphor. That was the TV series I needed.
Big lost fan here. I enjoyed and understood the ending. But, I was still frustrated that nothing about the island was ever really explained. Now watching this clip I understand a whole lot more. Things fall into place and make more sense. The Smoke Monster, the Plug, the Energy, Why a lot of things happened... Even why Jacob brought people there. I gotta binge the entire show again with this new understanding :)
I need to binge it too but where?! xD Disney has it now?
"Big lost fan" yet you missed some crucial moments that explained the meaning of everything? how?
The Island is this place where all these unique properties exist (electromagnetism, exotic matter) that appear to have inexplicable impact on biological life forms. Some people came to believe in the Island as a divine place that needs to be protected and defended (The Others, Jacob's thru Richard & Dogen people) against those who would seek to manipulate and exploit these properties for their own gain (Charles Widmore, the Dharma Initiative, the people MiB stayed with for 30+ years).
Jacob became one of the Island's early or at perhaps its longest serving protector. The woman, Mother, was a protector of the Island too, and when the people MiB hung with began to get too close to finding, exploiting & tampering with the Source of the Island's unique properties, she knocked MiB severely unconscious and killed all the people and destroyed all their work/progress towards figuring out the Island's source of "power". Jacob threw is brother into the Source which at the time was unprotected by the Cork system that helped prevent direct human contact with the Source. MiB's physical body came into direct contact with that Source there by merging his consciousness with the Island's energy and producing an entity that carried MiB's desire to leave the Island, and his disdain for humanity and resent of Jacob for what he did to both prevent him leaving the Island AND cause the disembodiment of MiB's consciousness and trapping it as a smoke monster.
The removal of the Cork causes the segregation of the Island's electromagnetism and exotic matter thereby extinguishing its unique properties. This in effect turned off the unique properties of the Smoke Monster, allowing Jack & Kate to kill it, and releasing MiB's consciousness from the Island's energy source. As the Island's protector, Jack had a smart part of the Island's source within him, this permitted him to "rekindle" the Island's unique fusion of electromagnetism, water and exotic matter, after he place the Cork back in place.
I should note that Jughead's nuclear energy also released, at first in small doses with the button pushing, and then in an immense amount of radioactive energy when Desmond activates the failsafe. This energy merged with the Island's Source. It gave Desmond immunity to electromagnetism.
Now, if Damon Lindelof and JJ Abrams REALLY wanted to convince us that they'd planned all of this from the beginning, they should've named the show "CORK".
Celebok In Season 2 Episode 3, which is the first episode that goes in depth about the button that saves the world and is a modern day version of the ancient cork at the source, there is a quote from Helen to Locke:
"I have to put a CORK in, once I get all hot and bothered, there's no stopping me"
That line is no accident.
If Damon Lindelof and JJ Abrams REALLY wanted to convince us that they'd planned it all from the start, then they should have planned it all from the start.
They had more planned than you would think. Maybe not every plot point, but the basic good vs. evil of the island. It’s set in the very first episode when Locke is talking to Walt about backgammon being a game between light and dark.
Season 3 episode 5 Mr. Eko dies. His last words were: "You're next!" In season 6 MiB tries to kill every candidate. If Lindelof and JJ Ambrams wanted to convince us... wait what? Isn't that the proof already?
JJ Abrams didn't write Lost. Just the Pilot episode. Damon and Carlton wrote the whole show.
“You brought it here?” “Why?” Instead of saying “Why” other writers would say “How” and this is an example of why the show is controversial.
I myself love this writing!
jacob was such an awesome Character. Same goes for the actor portraying him. I wish they would have come up with him sooner so the earlier seasons would make sense.
This is one of my favorite LOST scenes. It is my all time favorite LOST episode.
i wonder why Sayid, Sun and Jin never said anything about the four toe statue to anyone else after passing by it on the boat. they could've explore what was inside and save them all the pain and suffering from having Jacob telling them they were on the island because they were candidates.
One of the many quirks in the plotline(s), and one that they should have edited out. It was used as a tease to the viewer, and to do what you suggest would have shortened the series by up to one season. $$advertising$$revenues$$galore$$
+1747CT They are survivors on an island, attacked by natives people and trying to survive... I think they had better to do than going to a four toes statue 90% broken. They have any chances of finding someone or supplies in it.
What's more, There was no clear door on the statue so they woul've not been able to enter in it and finally: Jacob didn't wanted to be discovered because the best way of not being killed was to be quite.
No lol a lot of shit happened after they went past that thing. They never had time to worry about that statue, and certainly not enough time to go check it out up close just on a whim.
because teliing about a four toed statue to everyone is like telling like a school kid to everyone
That's called dramatic irony, when the audience knows something the characters don't. Major theme in the series; many of the conflicts that arise could have been avoided if people just talked to each other.
To those who don't understand LOST.. here is the point of it
Still don't really understand it.
This isn't the point of it. This was just them manipulating ricardos because ricardos was a dumb pleb who only really cared about his own religion.
The point of it is shown in the second to the last episode where it turns out that the man in black is permanently locked in the island because his mother was a nutcase who made it one of the island's laws that he's never allowed to leave (and can't harm jacob). Thus, he has to manipulate people into helping him destroy the island so that the law fades so that he'll be able to leave.
i love lost i even like the ending but you can tell that the writers have different intentions for the characters and events but it didn't work out so they left us hanging at many things in the show .it's really fucking annoying .. there is too many unanswered questions .
@@lordwar4585 ask and ye shall receive my son
literally every character on this show is manipulated by someone else. Heck, even Mother had some strange-ass beliefs.
I think even this whole wine bottle thing is just Jacob's interpretation of what the Island is, rather than what it actually might be.
I think there was a smoke monster down in the cave all along. It was a battle between light and dark, and the scales were equal (meaning the monster could not escape) since nothing good or bad had entered the cave. But when Jacob threw MiB down there, the scales tipped to the wrong side and the Monster fused with MiB, killing his original body, and leaves the cave (now that there is more darkness than light). after that the Monster/MiB wanted to leave the island, but to do so they had to put out the light. In order to put out the light, they had to kill the protector. But they can't kill Jacob, because mother had made it that way. So they kept trying to get people to kill him and then they would be able to put out the light. And you know the rest.
man, you are a lost expert, that makes allot of sense and sounds accurate
***** well ty. A lot of people see lost in different ways, and therefore has different explanations. This is just the one that suits my version of lost best.
This is the best thing I've read. I've Never managed to piece together why exactly he turned into the black smoke monster.
MiB couldn't leave the island even before he was a smoke monster. His mother did that aswell - if you watch the episode with her in it, you'll see her slip in sooo many laws all over the place.
Because his mother used the island's power to prevent MiB from leaving the island... he had to destroy the island's power to get out (that is, destroy the white light).
The mother was the smoke monster till she died
Gotta Love Richard
The best scene in all season ....
2:06 Richard tells JACOB what's up!
And yet, people still “didn’t get” the ending of the series/the show in general when there are scenes like this.
Blessed are the simple minded.
You are soooo right
You are sooooo right!
This was an absolutely brilliant episode. I loved every minute of it.
When this scene appeared in Lost, several mysteries in the entire series became eerily clear. Maybe the writers arguably gave too much, but nonetheless it is an interesting scene and obviously a huge moment of revelation for viewers.
"What is inside?"
"No one comes in unless I invite them in."
"That's not an answer. Do you have any water? I'm dehydrated and wine is a diuretic."
Good thing I wasn't a LOST script writer.
more like Richard tells Jacob what's up
After all this time, still not everyone is okay with the way Jacob handled things. Just think about how humans usually react to the big stuff. If Jacob had told those people why he trapped them, they would've attacked him. That, or they would've fought to the death for immortality. Either way, if they had known anything the series would've been five episodes long.
Richard: Are you the Devil?
Jacob: .....No...
Me: *cough, cough* Bullshit
Awesome scene and the music in the start is pure magic!
Richard "Are you the Devil"
Jacob "No, Your thinking of my other show SUPERNATURAL"
Richard: Are you the devil?
Jacob: No.

+TheGirlWhoCouldFly13 SPOT ON! :D
+TheGirlWhoCouldFly13 Well done mate. Saved my day. ☻☺
TheGirlWhoCouldFly13 lol you just made my day
Yeah I think you're right, the black smoke is just the dark side of the island, it exists to judge the good from the bad and kill those who pose a threat, but when MiB's essence became fused together with the smoke something went wrong and started trying to corrupt people with "the sickness" that claimed Rousseau's team as well as Sayid and Claire. Also whether the Mother was the original Monster or could merely summon it, I think we can safely assume it was involved in the village massacre.
"Are you the devil?"
"Yes, but not in this show"
When Jacob asked him what he wanted he should have said toilet paper supply forever.
He can't do that...
this comment hits different after the coronavirus
Richard: You brought us here? Why?
No, Richard, my friend. A more suitable question would be "how?" ot "how the hell did you manage to bring an entire boat full of people only with the power of your will?!
That’s the real unanswered question lol
~magnets~
best show ever
The end of this scene brings shivers to my entire body ❤️
Literally my favorite scene from s6.
This video title deserves a like all on it on
This reminds me of when people ask why God allows bad things to happen and doesn't just fix things and make people be good... Jacob kind of has the perfect response for that.
"Because I wanted them to help themselves. To know the difference between right and wrong without me having to tell them. It's all meaningless if I have to force them to do anything."
That's also why there are prophets who speak for the Lord and give us guidance and direction (Richard). It's amazing how much truth is in this show! Probably why I love it so much! It also shows that no one is perfect, we all make mistakes and do bad things, but that doesn't mean that we're bad people and can't be forgiven. GREAT SHOW!
+Mella Bella That's all well and good... however in God's case he/she'd litterally be standing by whilst genocides occur with the power to stop it and doing nothing. If a human did that, it'd be hard not to think them immoral.
Good scene. Dull episode, in keeping with mess that was season 6.
That's where free will comes in. God can't force people to be good and he also can't stop them from doing bad things. If he did, that would take away their free will. You people act like God likes watching bad people murder His children. It breaks his heart, but at least those children return home to him where eternity is MUCH longer than this miserable life on earth. So really, don't use death as an argument when it's not the end of all things.
Mella Bella Are you responding to me?
Ah, the long standing argument of free will, vs. a God who is omnipotent, and omniscient. Don't shove that free will bullshit on us. If your God, is truly omnipotent and omniscient, then the Holocaust wouldn't have happened, or genocides all across history. Because if you believe that, your God saw it all happen, knew it would all happen, was THERE when it all happened, and did NOTHING. I hate people who say "Oh it's just all free will!" Yeah, that's YOUR definition, YOUR religious dogma, YOUR God, out of the 4,200 Gods and Goddesses in recorded history. You have no right to say that your God gave free will, and then have a free pass. And who are you to say that your God is truly the one? Because you don't know.
Mella Bella Fair enough. So you can't say thank God for when things work out for you and also makes no sense to believe in miracles, since God doesn't interfere with us puny humans. I find it ridiculous when bad things happen its free will of men, when good things happen its an act of God.
"Lost" was truly great!❤
In the DVD commentary for Across the Sea, the writers hinted that the cork was created sometime after the scene where the man in black fell into the light. Also think about what the light is, electromagnetic energy, and it's said that inside of humans is the same kind of "light". If there is a dark energy underneath the island similar to the light, perhaps the darkness inside his soul magnetically fused with the darkness.
Jacob is such a beast too bad he died
_I want my wife back._
He could have asked for anything to this God. But at a heartbeat, without any hesitance, he asks for her. Even Jacob is impressed by this love. How many women inspire this kind of love today.
Nahhh, he stranded on island. Need weman poos
Back in those days there was no feminism
@@bobbybero7452 yes there was, people just didn't listen to them
Far fewer men are even open to feeling and expressing love. And I mean real love, not boyish infatuation or selfish juvenile objectification.
None. This is a work of fiction
Hell yeah Jacob, tell 'em what time it is!
I met Marc Pellegrino a few years ago in Montreal. A very cordial gentleman.
Yeah, I see what you're saying, and you make a good point. I think that Jacob just chose to stay out of the whole war between the Dharma folk and the Hostels, because he wanted them to make peace on their own. Once Richard had created a community of people, he realized that it wouldn't make sense for him to be the leader, since he can't die. I guess that's why he came up with a system to recruit a leader. The Dharma purge though, was Widmore's decision.
Richard and Jacob are 2 of the greatest characters. No other show has so many brilliant fucking characters other than Lost. So many, and they're all so amazing. Except Sawyer, fuck Sawyer. I'll never like that guy. Waaaaa, my parents died, I want everyone to hate me, I take my baggage out on everyone else, waaaaa.
Hugo Stiglitz lol
One of the best episodes from season six!
Imo, the Top 5 Best or Top 5 Most Interesting Characters On the Show: Jacob, Richard, Miles, Benjamin Linus, Man in Black.
0:26 no, in a different show yes though
I always dreamed of a LOST movie or spin off series (Netflix?) set entirely in the "ancient times" as shown here and in Across the Sea. Fuck that would be interesting.
Back In Town Productions nah, I say keep it mysterious.
best job interview ever for richard
I wish i had enterview like that... why dont you pay more your employees . Why should i why should i step in.. because if u dont they will qut . Lol
lots of question answered...love these scenes
“ I want some dharma peanut butter”
“ now that ... I can do “
It's Lucifer from Season 5 of Supernatural!
Both great shows & funny how Richard asks if he's the devil!
I love that Jacob is ultimately finite and when he dies and a new protector is chosen, they can do things differently. Better. I would have loved to see more of Hurley's tenure.
I wish Jacob had more scenes with Richard
