Who is Jacob? — part 2

May 8th, 2009 by Ms Terri · 4 Comments · 5x15 Follow the Leader, Ben (Michael Emerson), Jacob (Mark Pellegrino), Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), Theories, Who is Jacob?

After I posted my “Who is Jacob?” post (directly below), I started thinking that Jacob might be John Locke. In Follow the Leader, we saw present-day Locke, using Richard Alpert as his messenger, give instructions to time-traveling Locke to bring everyone back to the Island. In other words, Locke was giving (and getting) his marching [...]

Although the episode title refers to a “leader” in the singular, there are actually two leaders in this episode who set out on parallel treks in different times — Jack in 1977 and Locke in 2007. Each is convinced that he is finally acting out his destiny. And each has Richard Alpert tagging along, as [...]

April 21st, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Other roles, Singing and/or dancing

Here’s another entry in the “LOST actors who sing” series. It’s a strange one. Pay attention to the words: You think his kids had Daddy issues? The video clip is from 1989, when O’Quinn was on MTV’s The Big Picture. He was promoting Stepfather II, a horror film starring O’Quinn as “The Stepfather” who escapes [...]

April 10th, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · 5x12 Dead is Dead, Ben (Michael Emerson), Egyptian mythology and hieroglyphics, Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Recaps and reviews, Smoke monster

Is Sayid a Jesus figure?

March 31st, 2009 by Ms Terri · No Comments · 5x10 He's Our You, Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Religious references, Sayid (Naveen Andrews)

Told that he would have to sacrifice himself in order to save his people, Locke died, only to rise again. In the Sayid-centric episode, 5×10 He’s Our You, Sayid also appears to be a Jesus figure, though the signs [...]

Michael: You are going to learn more about the world from which that statue came. I don’t think we’re going to see the statue again in context, [...]
