Default Re: Lost 3/23 "Ab Aeterno"

I have a feeling Jacob and MIB can speak any language they wish to... I wouldn't read too much into that.

At the beginning when Jacob first meets Richard, I think we see a naive and young guardian in Jacob. He believes he can simply bring humans to the island, and they will show their goodness to MIB. Jacob was also very quick to anger when Richard began telling him how he thought the island was hell.

This conversation with Richard seems to change Jacob's outlook on his needed interaction with humanity. He proceeds to touch each of the candidates at critical points in their lives, to point them in the right direction. As Jacob said, "it only ends once."
