[littlemamma_x_3]

oh yeah...any doubters should believe now...that's shephard...wow...

[pureleo]

omfg so jacob is jacks dad wtf??

[jmarcroyal]

its possible that the eye guy was jacob, it doesnt look as much like Locke as i thought...

[swtc44]

no i think that it looks like desmund, even tho that doesnt make sense at all... nothing on this show does...

[Madame Loopy]

heh, after i just get done posting that i think the flashes of jacob look like jack's dad and then dismissing the idea, here comes this pic. Is this a for real shot? Still... i suppose it doesnt neccessarily mean that he's thee jacob as this is all Hurley's vision (maybe). But he wouldn't know what jacks dad looks like. And maybe Jacob is just different for everyone. Everyone's personal angel/demon. I don't know. I'm going to bed. How many seasons before this one is answered i wonder? :p

[hunter8768]

Ok, lets say that its Jack's dad in the chair. In the S3 season finally, why did he look different? You can say that Jacob looks different to everyone. But Hurle has never seen Jack's dad so how do you explain that thats who he saw? You could say that Jacob can take the form of those who have perished on the island, but since he didn't die on the island, one could argue that he can take the form of anyone on the island and it doesn't matter if they died there or not. Kind of like their spirits are there and Jacob uses them.

You gotta wonder what Locke was there for though.

[GriffinCloverfield]

That looks like Michial's good EYE......hehe

[hunter8768]

You know, you may be on to something there.

Who else do you know can take a harpoon to the heart and swim away from it?

[chefjdogg]

Great job lighting the image, I never woukld have thought of that. I just keep going wondering why Hurley would see Jacks father. I think it should have been some one close to him like charley.

[skatertsol]

Ok here's a thought: What if Jack's dad is one of the Oceanic 6? Season three "go get my dad down here" we all assumed it was a drunken Jack confused as to what had happened. But now, perhaps Jack's dad did survive, faked his own death or whatever, and is one of the survivors, which would be why Jack seemed overly excited to be off the island and determined not to talk about what happened while there in the flash forward with Hurley. Of course, there's debate if we can trust Hurley's vision, but I think that looks like Locke's eye and he sure showed up pretty quick after huh? Oh well the whole show could be Hurley's imagination. Or Dave's haha.

[justme]

I was right that suite is unmistakeable it's jack's dad. Great job of lighting the picture to show it was truthfully him. But what Im wondering is why does he show back up now and why is it hurley seeing him? So many questions leaving us all LOST!!

[stream]

ya know he don't really look like Jack's dad, resembles yes, but the hairline seems wrong. I thought the Eye looked like Desmond at first glance also, but it don't make sense at all, I thought it would be Locke, but it does not seem like it at all, can't use logic I guess on this show

[missjulie]

I'm not convinced that Jacob is Jack's dad... the hairline is too far forward and Jack's dad has a fatter face.

Whilst sifting through Lost websites and not working at work, I stumbled upon this website... http://www.oceanicflight815.com/index.html?b=1

Click on the blue light and you find this... http://www.thehansofoundation.org/

Hmm... *could* be Jacob... maybe. The hairline is right if his hair was cut differently.

(Hairlines and bone structure... yes. I AM bored.)

[missjulie]

http://lost.wikia.com/wiki/Eyes

You can compare everyone's eyes... Desmond is the closest match of characters we've *seen*. Could be him, or someone new. And Locke has blue eyes.

no i dont think that jacks dad is jacob. when hurley looks into the window, we see an empty rocking chair underneath the portrait of the dog. so i think that jacob was sitting in that first chair. then we see the second chair with jacks dad in in...then we see whosever eye that was. so there were three people in the house when hurley looks in. it would make sense if was lockes eye we saw...but it doesnt look like his.

[ahhhhhh33]

Didn't Jack in Season 1 open up the casket and not find his Dad in it?

You hear, presumably the voice of Alvar Hanso:

"You've taken a battle. Buty that's all it was...a battle. Humanity needs me, now more than ever. I have the virus. I have the will, and I will not fail".

[Dzbabykel]

Notice Christian is still in the suit he was wearing I believe when he was in the casket and also when Jack saw him on the island. Crazy...

[parapadme]

ugh... I think we shoudl all just give up. This **** is too complicated! lol

My boyfriend just say the shot of the "eye guy" and thinks it looks like Jack.

And as for it being Christian Sheppard, could be, probably is, but is he dead, an apparition, or alive? Who knows? We probably wont until the season 4 finale, and they'll leave us hanging like always.

[Smiley]

whats jack's dads first name?

[1hourisntlongenough]

Christian Shepherd

[shflm800]

That is for sure Christian Shephard. This link proves it...
http://imdb.com/character/ch0008708/
Whether or not he is also Jacob is another question.

I almost agree with this.. when i saw it first thing i thought was jack. however unless Hurley was seeing a "delusion" or something that hasn't happened yet then jack couldn't be in the house. Who knows though it is Lost..

[kk1011]

My theory on Jacob is that he is the smoke monster. I think that he can take many forms, and does so to strike an emotional chord with those he shows himself to. For example, Christian Shepherd, Eko's brother, Dave (that could have also just been in Hurley's mind), Mikhail(?), the horse that Kate saw, and Walt. (Can't think of any more). Anyway, that's what sounds logical to me. Just my two cents.

[1hourisntlongenough]

Dont forget about the polar bear!!!!!

[chris12345]

I thought the Polar Bear escaped from Darma. They lived in the cages that kate and Sawyer were kept in.

[Archangel-Player]

While it's not clear to the viewers why Jacob chose to be seen as Christian to Hurley a man who has of yet been shown to have any contact to Christian in the show. I belive the producers might be giving us a key clue here. It was Jacob who Jack was seen as Jack's father back in season one. He is wearing the exact same suite as Jack's father was in "White rabit". So Jacob showed Jaco to the caves a shelter and water source. Another strange thing was that when Hurley opened his eyes after being scared half to death Jacob's house was gone and only Locke was shown standing over Hurly. So not only can Jacob hide him self. But his house as well. Intresting indeed.

[Dzbabykel]

Yah that is interesting, maybe Jacob can take on many forms and since he feels he needs "help" like he asked Locke for, maybe he shows himself only to those people he trusts. I don't think the smoke monster is Jacob though...I believe the others already explained its a sort of protection device that they can control to keep people out. Please correct me if I'm wrong though because its been awhile, haha I want to go back and re-watch all the episodes again! :)

[msmith92]

It does look like Jack's dad.

I have a question about the flash forward in the season 3 finale. When Jack was confronted by the other surgeon (after he stole the pills from the secured case) he told the guy to go up and see if his dad was more drunk than he was. I felt that they both acted as though Mr. Shephard was still alive and working?

Did I misunderstand that?

[Dzbabykel]

Well the doctor never confirmed or denied whether Jack's father was upstairs. I think the doctor thinks Jack is sick and could clearly see Jack had just taken Oxycotone. Also when Jack tries to get his prescription filled he claims that his dad was the one who wrote the prescription which would make us believe his dad might still be alive. The only reason why I doubt that theory is because the writer's have already told us that anyone who dies on the show REALLY does die. So that would rule out Christian coming back...but you never know, maybe there is a lot more to that story but we do know that Jack has lost it, poor Jack :(

True, but maybe the only person who died was their doppleganger. Jack is completely opposite in the flash forwards.

Maybe the island is like the black lodge from Twin Peaks. When the doppleganger exits (the island/lodge) the other remains. It allows a balance between the two worlds. But if one were really dead it'd be a mistake to leave the island.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
No not at all. You didn't misunderstand anything. that is a part in the show that is up in the air right now. The direct anwser isn't brought out yet.

Me personaly. My take on that situation is that Jack was so delussional and on narco that he didn't even realize what he was saying. He was speaking out of his messed up mind. That is why the Dr asked him how much he had to drink today. I mean he was trying everything not to fall over and pass out from the Narco he was on.

[MidniteRunner]

Crazy... That is Christian Shep. For sure. Hmm... That is kind of weird though when they showed Jacob in season 3 I paused the screen and it didn't look like Dr. Sheppard. It kind of looked like Ben. I don't know what it going on, but this season of Lost is picking up steam all ready.

I know, I'm wondering if the actor in the last episode of season 3 that is depicted as Jacob is the new actor Jeff Fahey that will be introduced this season but they had Christian Shepard in the chair when Hurley sees him. Maybe Christian was in the chair and it was Jacob's eye we saw? We're all just assuming he's Jacob since he's in the same chair as before, but the firsts guy had long scraggily hair.

[phoebe beeberbee]

Who else do you know can take a harpoon to the heart and swim away from it?

Yep - it's old patchy, I reckon. The same guy who can seemingly take an electromagnetic forcefield between the ears (at the fence) until blood spurts from his nose and ears - he survived that...

And he's clearly survived a nasty attack on his eye at some point too...

a mere harpoon? Pah. Like a knat bite.

[jacksnurse]

i think that it was Christian (jack's dad) in the chair ...definitely ....and Jacob's eye....if u enhance the face like on this site u will notice his strange "pug" face....i agree with u Dzbabykel
