Clearest Picture of Jacob Yet!
A picture is worth a thousand words….. Thank’s to Peter! You can see in the comparison shot that the profile is only SLIGHTLY different and those differences could be due to more contour being revealed in the processing. I was able to bring a little bit of the check bone structure out myself but it wasn’t enough to brag about so I didn’t bother to post it. It was consistent with the image.
I don’t think there is any question that that is Terry O’Quinn!

There’s something on his shoulder or back, like a monkey (Joop).
Comment by Jimm 17 — May 10, 2007 @ 12:03 pm
Actually (someone mentioned this in a previous thread)…it looks like Kris Kristoferson
Comment by Todd Anthony — May 10, 2007 @ 12:03 pm
Holy mother of all that is divine it IS locke! That is definitely terry o quinn! Is this really the real picture because i dont want to get my hopes too high incase it isnt:(
Comment by smellon — May 10, 2007 @ 12:03 pm
I think it looks a lot like Sean Connery? Thoughts…
Comment by Brett — May 10, 2007 @ 12:04 pm
Sure this is real, Doc? The front looks mighty weird….
Comment by cerberus — May 10, 2007 @ 12:06 pm
I don’t think that is Locke. The mouth looks too different.
Comment by Scott — May 10, 2007 @ 12:08 pm
If that’s a monkey, the original (Locke?) had to be connected to the Black Rock somehow. The whole pirate with a monkey on his shoulder has been done to all hell though really…hasn’t it?
PS. Please gods of LOST, do not let Jacob be John Locke with a monkey on his shoulder.
Comment by Harbringer — May 10, 2007 @ 12:09 pm
It can’t possibly be Joop because Joop is an orangutan. Orangutans are huge and if there was one on your face you’d know it. They’re way too huge to perch on your shoulder.
Comment by icyone — May 10, 2007 @ 12:09 pm
Not Joop, but it does look like a monkey… or a cat… or a wombat. It could also just be a weird light effect.
This blown-up image doesn’t look legit.
Comment by Vex Machine — May 10, 2007 @ 12:11 pm
I’m sorry but that’s not even the same picture. Someone tried to photoshop a picture of Terry O’Quinn (as Locke) onto the original screencap. The face has a different angle in this one. I call shannanigans!
Comment by sandleford — May 10, 2007 @ 12:11 pm
I doesn’t look like Terry O’Quinn at all imho ! First i tought he looked like Whistler (Blade) or Sean Connery ^^ I hope they clear up the mystery before the end of the season, but i don’t think so
Comment by lvz — May 10, 2007 @ 12:15 pm
I agree, I think that’s been photoshopped, the face didn’t protrude out as much before.
Comment by Jenn — May 10, 2007 @ 12:15 pm
I immediately said Dennis Hopper…which I would LOVE if he was in this (but a big name might ruin the idea that this could be happening even though it probably isn’t). But it does look like terry o quinn a little now that y’all say that. and the producers did say something to the extent that they did not cast a person to play jacob in this episode, so either that wasn’t jacob, or they used an existing actor to play him (locke).
Comment by Mike — May 10, 2007 @ 12:16 pm
I’m not sure if this is legit or not - but he does look extremely like Locke!
I don’t think there is anything on his back; it’s just a blurry image!
Comment by Jennifer — May 10, 2007 @ 12:19 pm
not sure if this is correct.. but wasn’t it said that Jacob hadn’t been cast yet… if this is the case then we are just grasping at straws… it doesn’t matter who it is…
Comment by justaslostasyou — May 10, 2007 @ 12:21 pm
Take it from me, that image is fake.
I’m a professional Photoshop artist, and I can tell you that the the image is made up of two halves, with the left part being from someplace else. It looks like an image of Locke has been merged into a screen cap from the episode.
I did everything I could think of with the original screencap, and it was impossible to get it to be THAT clear. That’s fake for number of reasons - the lighting, how the clarity goes from great to rubbish, the variation in contrast and colour tones - and the fact that the levels are made up of two sets of values - i.e. two images.

Comment by andy — May 10, 2007 @ 12:25 pm
im not buying no moneys, no lizards, no pygmy lions, no homunculi, and no goddamn magic beans.
…and yeah, i reckon thats just a clever photoshop job…although, i have to be fair and say that in my experience, if you up the brightness and contrast enough then an image will (if youll excuse the phrase) “spazz up”…but…mainly i dont belive that the subtleties in terms of shadows/lighting shown on what IS terry o’quinn’s face could possibly come from even a HD screencap of that shot….
now…i work with images a lot but im not a photographer, so anyone elses opinion would be gratefully recieved…but as it stands, i dont buy that as really being jacobs face…i think that if oine lumped the brightness contrast etc up and faffed with the image as much as possible, then there would still only be a white-grey haze with the barest suggestion of facial features where we can see tery o’quin
Comment by mw — May 10, 2007 @ 12:28 pm
Whether or not it is Terry O’Quinn, there’s one thing we CAN say for certain: the voice was definitely NOT Terry O’Quinn’s.
What does that tell us?

Watch as Ben gets thrown across the room, as the camera pans back you can see the man sitting in the chair, that’s the only time you see him - I had to watch a few times. I definitely didn’t see him the first time I watched the episode, only knew he was there after reading the comments here.
And I agree, looks like Dennis Hopper.

Comment by jimyy — May 10, 2007 @ 12:48 pm
I overlayed this image with the original in photoshop, and I don’t believe they line up properly. I think someone just photoshoped a face into the black shadow area of the face. There was no detail there to begin with, so there is no way to bring out any detail.
Comment by dustin — May 10, 2007 @ 12:49 pm
Ditto that. I use Photoshop professionally as well, played around with the image myself, and there’s no way that the image above is real. There’s just not any detail in those shadows to bring out.
There does appear to be something weird on his head, though, but I can’t the image clear enough to have any clue as to what it is.
Comment by Bleu Caldwell — May 10, 2007 @ 12:51 pm
Even if it’s Terry O’Quinn, remember that if Jacob IS the island/monster (or a manifestation/relation thereof) as this episode hinted, he can probably appear as a great many things (Jack’s Dad, Yemi…) so it doesn’t necessarily mean it IS Locke.
Comment by Will — May 10, 2007 @ 12:55 pm
You had me for a minute but yes, it does appear to be a Photoshopped picture. Still, I think it’s very possible that the actor playing the Jacob “apparition” or whatever you want to call it, was probably Terry O’ Quinn. That doesn’t mean he will play him in future episodes. It may just be a temporary thing until the role of Jacob is cast. Star Wars fans may recall that Clive Revill was the original Emperor (with monkey eyes composited in) in “The Empire Strikes Back”, but Ian McDiarmid played him in every other SW film.
Comment by DrQuest — May 10, 2007 @ 12:56 pm
Fake!
The left side of his face is so underexposed that no information can be extracted from that. Seems like the guy pasted a pic of Locke on top of Jacob’s.
Comment by Lost_in_Brazil — May 10, 2007 @ 1:02 pm
I just finished searching images of everyone’s guess as to who this profile belongs to. The two closest matches I found were John Terry (Christian) and Jamey Sheridan who fans of Stephen King and “The Stand” (where are you Merlboroman?) will remember as Randall Flagg in the movie…
Comment by cap10tripps — May 10, 2007 @ 1:04 pm
It looks way too much like Locke, not to be Locke. Put your hand over the hair when looking at it
Comment by Cheex223 — May 10, 2007 @ 1:08 pm
Has anyone compared the profile to a shot of Alvar Hanso? Didn’t we have a profile shot of him at some point?
Comment by TrillianM — May 10, 2007 @ 1:09 pm
I think the person who created the photo was superimposing a profile shot of Terry O’Quinn onto the Jacob image to compare. It’s not a fakejob.
I thought before I ever saw this that Jacob is Locke.
Jacob is probably Locke from the future, and has been orchestaring events from the advantage of hindsight.
Comment by Hesiod — May 10, 2007 @ 1:09 pm
Eh, nevermind I just found the Alvar shot and it’s nowhere near the same angle.
Comment by TrillianM — May 10, 2007 @ 1:11 pm
And yet, I agree with Will. It could just be another manifestation.
Comment by Cheex223 — May 10, 2007 @ 1:11 pm
I am willing to bet that there is a shot of John Locke from a pervious episode that looks exactly like this one.
I think they re-used a shot of Locke (or maybe one they cut out) to create thise scene. Othgerwise, they would have telegraphed it to Terry O’Quinn! Obviiusly, he’d know he was Jacob.
And from what I have read, they generally don’t tell the cast anything about plot lines in advance of the one they are shooting or about to shoot.
I do agree that it may be the smoke creature manifesting as Locke. It has onely, so far as we know, manifested as a live person once, though: Walt.
I stikc to my theory that Jacob is Locke from the future, and that this is “The Tempest.” Locke/Jacob being Prospero and Ben apparently being Caliban.
Comment by Hesiod — May 10, 2007 @ 1:17 pm
Seriously Doc,
This is about as questionable as a picture gets. I think you need to mention that in your description. There is no reason to put this picture up as the “clearest picture yet”.
Comment by Dr. Nope — May 10, 2007 @ 1:19 pm
locke is going to die and “jacob” will reanimate his body and be a “ghost in the shell”
Jocke [Jacob/Locke] would then take over the remainder of Ben’s crew [those who survive the encounter with the losties] once Jocke kills Ben
they together with the losties will do battle with the Dharma militia led by a turncoat Desmond

Comment by DMS — May 10, 2007 @ 1:23 pm
He has the same nose as Owen Wilson
It’s either Owen Wilson or Locke
However maybe Jacob takes on the form of whoever you think he might look like, he may not even have a face at all.

i believe this image comes from something someone did on lostpedia:

i have no idea why someone would post this here and claim it is simply a cleaned up version. “cleaning up” doesn’t let one see detail where this only black (especially the magically appearing left ear in this image)
that being said, the original image comparison from lostpedia is somewhat compelling, though far from convincing.

Don’t say, “No it isn’t.” Because it IS!
If you say, “Whose Terence Stamp?” (Well… shame on you!) Terence Stamp is General Zod in Superman 2, also in Star Wars as Chancellor Valorum, also in Haunted Mansion (with Marsha Thomason who plays Naomi,) he was also in Alias (JJ Abrams’ friend?)
It is most definitely without a doubt Terence Stamp. Spread the word and credit me!

It’s not Locke, stop saying that.
Comment by Chris — May 10, 2007 @ 1:43 pm
As a follow up: if they DID use Locke’s head as a basis for making “Jacob,” if anything, Jacob is foreshadowing Locke’s “help me” when he gets shot. As in, Locke looks at Jacob and sees himself saying “Help me.”
So Jacob presents himself differently like the monster. But it’s not Locke.

Comment by supa — May 10, 2007 @ 1:56 pm
With closer observation it appears that there may be other faces on Jacob’s profile (three total to be exact). This would give creedence to the theory that Jacob is the island and can manifest into a physical form…

Comment by jacob — May 10, 2007 @ 2:28 pm
I think that Jacob came on the black rock because his shirt looks like something a sailor from that day (the age of the ship) would wear. Also Ben says something to Locke about Jacob being uneasy about technology (meaning Jacob has been on the island for a long time not knowing new technology). You might ask how could someone live that long well the hostiles all still look the same age and if no one can be born cocieved and bor on the island how could there be original inhabitants.

Comment by OxfordAngel — May 10, 2007 @ 2:57 pm
If you look at the close up processed stills from “The man behind the curtain”, of Jacob, in the rocking chair. The profile of this persons face Thanks to Peter, (clearest picture of Jacob yet) closely resembles Locke more than anyone else we have seen yet on the island. That’s it, there is nothing else to go on. What if this and what if that, waist of time! In my opinion, it’s Locke (With facial hair and a unshaven head) or it’s someone new (Dennis Hopper)! And wile I’m at it, why can only Ben talk and know of Jacob and not Richard? And now Locke can hear him, and glimpses him. The only conclusion I have is, if Ben was born on the island then maybe Locke was too? Remember we haven’t seen the early life’s of many of the lost beach combers.

The only character I’m convinced that Smokey has manifested as is Yemmi. I am less certain, but disposed at this time to believe, that it also manifest itself as Christian. Until proven otherwise, I will hold to my belief that the appearance of Walt to Shannon and Sayid was actually Walt.
Comment by gusteaux — May 10, 2007 @ 3:16 pm
Another Photoshop professional chiming in. This picture is absolutey fake. For one, the angle is wrong. The image of Locke that was pasted on top is taken from a slightly higher angle than Jacob was shot at. Two, heavy JPEG artifacts cover the “enhanced” version everywhere except the facial features. This is a red flag that suggests the image is a composite. The artifacts would be uniform throughout the image if it were real.
I’m really disappointed that a couple legitimate Lost sites are reporting on this fake image.

Comment by cap10tripps — May 10, 2007 @ 4:21 pm
I think it might be Christian Shephard. He may be an other that traveled between the island and the outside world to get everyone who had to be on the plane on it. He told Sawyer to go through with the killing, he brought Ana Lucia there, he’s the reason Jack went to Australia, and I’m not sure; but he may have visited the fortune teller’s house at some point in Australia (the one that tells Claire to get on the plane, while frightened).
Plus, there’s the fact that this episode revolved a lot around Jacob, and Ben had a white rabbit with him, the name of the episode where Jack found the empty casket.
By the way,where does Kelvin fit in on the time line? Did he arrive before or after the Dharma purge?

The image is not a fake people. If you’re all such photoshop experts, why don’t you import the image and line it up! It lines up perfectly. You can’t tell what angle the face is at in the original because it is behind the shadows.
Comment by stev — May 10, 2007 @ 4:58 pm
Sorry, this is going to be long.
A. I doubt very seriously we’re going to learn who Jacob is anytime soon. As such, I doubt that the Lost crew would make that split second of an image give his identity away. I think they’re high fiving each other right now on how perfectly the ambiguity of the image worked.
B. Part of me thinks Doc Jensen and others’ theory on Jacob being Locke is the most reasonable theory. It could work.
C. However, for some reason, I’m really thinking Christian Shephard. If Christian isn’t Jacob, then he still plays a more important role than say Ben’s mother’s appearance on the island. (not that Christian has shown up on the island YET… but, the fact that 2 of his children have is pretty huge… particularly looking at the biblical symbolism.)
D. Speaking of biblical symbolism: In the bible Jacob is Benjamin’s father:
Benjamin

To anyone thinking this is real, take a look at this. You can clearly see that the plane of the “enhanced” Jacob’s face does not align with the original. Like I said before, the fake version uses a photo of Locke shot from a slightly higher angle. Also, notice the patch of skin that leads from his cheek to ear is now suddenly fully visible? This would be impossible using Photoshop. Period. I am really disappointed that my favorite Lost site has posted such a misleading article.

i do not understand why the vast majority of you cannot believe that it’s NOT someone we already know. seriously — why would locke need to help himself? the voice is not terry o’quinn’s, and it is definitely not bens, so what could possibly lead you to believe that it’s John Locke other than maybe a slight facial similarity?
On another note, Ben definitely cannot hear or see Jacob or else he wouldn’t bother asking John what Jacob said, or shooting him because of it for that matter.

Does anyone else see the close-up eyeball shot???? Its right after that for a few frames. Neither Locke, nor Ben have dark colored eyes. Its pretty obvious its not them.
Watch it again!!
Comment by picture a box — May 10, 2007 @ 6:51 pm
I dont know what you guys are talking about. Im an expert with photoshop and transposed the new face with the shadowed face of Jacob.
Heres the result:
The back part of the head matches up, but the front face doesnt.
If I match up the front part of the new face, with the front part of the shadowed face, it matches up perfectly. Its the same face, although I cant get seem to get quality features out of a black face like someone did.
What it appears to me is that the faces are the same, but could have been taken form two different frame shots. Same face, different frames from the same scene.
Comment by shirteesdotnet — May 10, 2007 @ 6:52 pm
I’m not backing the man behind the curtain of this photoshop proof of Jacob’s identity, but I’m not backing you self proclaimed photoshop experts either. I honestly thought that it was locke before even seeing the altered image. And just think, your all trying to pin the identity of jacob based on a couple of facts but ecspecially the fact that ben tells john that jacob hates technology just like locke himself. Maybe we all missed the most obvious clue. Who else could feel the same way about technology as Lock?…locke himself. Just a thought.

If Locke got shot where his kidney used to be would he be more likely to survive than if his kidney was there?
The photo seems too unreliable. If it is Locke, there will have to be a hell of an explaination. This episode made me madder than Nikki and Paulo did. When someone dies on the show there is always a spoiler about it ahead of time, I never read anything about Locke dying so i think he will still survive. If Locke is gone, WHO is the new hero? I don’t want to like Jack anymore, if he was staying quiet “to decide what to do next”, why was he such a douche about it? I still don’t believe he “kept his head down and did what he was told”

KJ, I don’t know it that was your intention, but it could well be that Jacob is Alvar Hanso. The picture from thehansofoundantion.org could be of the same person as in the Jacob scene. Does anyone have more pictures of Alvar from the Lost Experience times? Something we can compare to Jacob’s screencap? I don’t think it’s Locke either. I spent a lot of time in photoshop and, as the ps experts already said above, it doesn’t seem that there is any way to enchance this picture enough.
Comment by Rog — May 10, 2007 @ 7:59 pm
We don’t know that Richard was the leader of the Natives. He maybe just “recruited Ben” Maybe the Hostiles came from the Black Rock origionally, maybe they were the slaves. By the way does anyone know what the whispers said?
Comment by thenumbersarebad — May 10, 2007 @ 8:06 pm
I think that Desmond is a mole. Well, some would say otherwise because he is supposedly saving Charlie’s life right now, but… even Ben helped John when he could have escaped instead.
Desmond knows a lot more than he is telling the Losties. I think he is somehow connected to Jacob even though I don’t believe that he “is” Jacob.
Comment by Shawn — May 10, 2007 @ 8:15 pm
If Jacob is Alvar Hanso it would make more sense. There was an episode where Tom quoted Hanso. he said, “You know, somebody a whole lot smarter than anybody here once said: Since the dawn of our species man’s been blessed with curiosity.” Since everybody refers to Jacob as great and smart, maybe he is Hanso, although that raises more questions too.
Comment by thenumbersarebad — May 10, 2007 @ 8:16 pm
Yes, I’d like to know about the whispers myself–especially in the scene where young Ben was in the jungle before he met Richard.
Comment by Shawn — May 10, 2007 @ 8:18 pm
point of fact, kris kristofferson lives on maui, so he would totally be perfect to be jacob, as to not draw attention to dennis hopper wandering around oahu, which would spur too much attention/speculation.
it’s kris . . . .
and next thing, they’ll find willie nelson on the other side of the island growing some ganja…
giddy up…
Comment by foobar — May 10, 2007 @ 8:24 pm
Been looking at the “Locke is Jacob” arguement. Noticed nobody mentioned an obvious flaw in that theory. In the sequence with Ben and Locke in the creepy cabin, as the scenes were flashing back and forth, they showed the profile of a figure (now widely posted here), but they also showed something right after this… a brown eye.
What color eyes does Michael Emmerson have in the show? Terry O’Quinn? Blue.
There was a third person in the room… unless they decided to pull the old “contact lense on the Terry O’Quinn of the future” bit. That one is so old.
Comment by doc pedro — May 10, 2007 @ 9:04 pm
Here are my thoughts….
First, this big reveal is a composite. I make a very good living, living in Photoshop, After Effects and other video imaging effects software (I have even done forensics work for some court cases). I am NOT convinced.
(I preface I did not initially see the “jacob frame” in question. I do not have HD in my house nor TIVO. All of this is at work and in hurry to get to baseball game for my son earlier in the day, I failed to set it. And my wife & I have completely different TV tastes in this 10pm EST hour of television. She pushed the remote control button in this scene just to piss me off)
That being said - My gut initial gut reaction was Oh crap they have gone off the sci-fi deep end and brought on the invisable horror movie villain. But now having seen this I offer a confirmation to my Vacuum/tornado theory:
IF, and I do a BIG IF, this is Locke in the chair, it would make sense Locke can not see nor hear himself. Regardless of what state of being they are in (dead/alive/purgatory/limbo) like nearly all time travel theories, living beings can not exist at the same time, same place.
I have gone into great detail on a seperate thread about 2 weeks ago on this theory of mine but we are witnessing (in slo-mo) the process of multiple time lines(planes if you will) being sucked into a sort of vacuum of time/space.
Locke’s current timeline is coming to end and he is PLEADING “Help me”.
The Reducers (Producers) have informed us thru a podcast that the AMAZING thing that changes Lockes course on this show is not the two words but the fact that he actually HEARS them!!!!!!
On the devils addvocate side - it certiqnly LOOKs like it might be Hanso….and by reading the new website, certainly aludes to it as well.
Comment by thirdflr — May 10, 2007 @ 9:51 pm
I THINK JACOB IS ETHAN!
I happened across an image of Ethan today and all of a sudden it occurred to me that Ethan might very well be Jacob. I put together a diagram dissecting and explaining my theory, which you can see here:
http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y91/parttimegenius/?action=view¤t=jacob.jpg
Ethan was definitely creepy enough, and while I was researching my theory, I came across several posts from the fall that spoke of a possible link between the two.

Good slow-mo of the interesting parts of the sequence
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XxvON0jUos
Whose eye is that? Is it really Jacob’s eye? Because it doesn’t look like Ben or Locke’s…
Also, I recorded the “Help Me” and normalized it, and have the audio clip stored on my computer. I’ll mess with applying tempo, pitch and other changes later (to see if it’s a slowed-down/altered version of someone else saying “Help Me”), since it’s 3am where I am right now, LoL. DocArzt, if you want that audio clip (even though you probably already have it), let me know - anything I can do to help!

Comment by WithTheDawn — May 11, 2007 @ 2:32 am
Jacob is wearing a hood, it isn’t hair or a monkey. It is an effect of lighting. Could it be that Desmond is on the island to save Jacob, since the brotherhood felt it was very important for Desmond to be on the island. Could this actually be brother jacob campbell?
Comment by 1miletogo — May 11, 2007 @ 3:13 am
All good points here, but I don’t think it’s Locke. The importance of Locke hearing him probably makes him even more special to the others, which is why Ben shoots him. Now this could turn out to be sort of grooming for Locke to take over for Ben (Ben might be making sure he’s the one), but more likely Ben feels his power being usurped. I have been considering Hanso. What if Alvar was actually born on the island. What if Magnus is his father or grandfather, and Alvar was a successful birth after conception on the island? Perhaps this made him very special. Maybe Ben’s obsession with the fertility project is to find Jacob’s replacement. Who knows, but I like your vacuum/tornado theory. It’s very similar to my own…
Comment by cap10tripps — May 11, 2007 @ 6:01 am
This is also an interesting theory on Jacob. It would mean that Brother Campbell may have been some sort of successor when we first met him. It does seem that the original inhabitants are some sort of masters of fate. Maybe being god is a job just like (well maybe not just like) ours…
Comment by cap10tripps — May 11, 2007 @ 6:06 am
Another point that could hint to Jacob being Alvar Hanso. In the Bible, Jacob was married to Rachel. Rachel was the mother of Benjamin and Joseph (who was thrown a pit by Benjamin and his other brothers…). In the Lost Experience, we learn that Rachel Blake was Alvar’s daughter. Names in Lost are always chosen for a reason…

Comment by Ned Stole — May 11, 2007 @ 7:58 am
I agree with Skywalker that the image is a fake. I played around with the original yesterday and there was NO detail in the face. And where are the compression artifacts that exist in every other dark area of the pic? And there’s the angle — we’re seeing the face from a downward angle, but the original shot is pretty much level. Sorry, but it’s fake.

Comment by kdjblade — May 11, 2007 @ 10:31 am
First, the author of the article should explain that the photo above is not an “enhanced” version of a still shot from the show, but is in fact an attempt by someone to superimpose Locke’s visage onto that of Jacob’s for comparison purposes.
That should quiet all the whining about “faeks,” and “hoaxes.”
Second, the image of Jacob we have is that of Terry O’Quinn.
Looking cloely at photographinc comparison, it is pretty obvious.
One possibility raised above is that “Jacob” is in fact the Smoke Mponster, and takes the forms of humean beings under certain circumstances. So, it is not necessarily dispositive that Jacob appeared to look like John Locke.
That being said, a futuristic Locke, or a Locke from a different timestream, would be able to orchestare all of the events that brought the Losties to the Island, and would explain many of the coincidences.
Perhgaps Ben found a way to trap the futuristic Locke, and he was crying for help from his past self?
Comment by Hesiod — May 11, 2007 @ 10:35 am
That slow mo sinks it for me. The eye-closeup is Ben’s. And its indicating shock when he looks from Jacob toward Locke.
He realizes they look alike!
Comment by Hesiod — May 11, 2007 @ 10:42 am
OK folks, Jacob is really Alvar Hanso who is the owner of the Hanso Corp http://www.thehansofoundation.org/
This is just my opinion but, look at the two pictures.
Also, read the missions statement. He speaks of “dark forces”.
This could explain the “help me” that we heard….
Comment by Southdiver — May 11, 2007 @ 11:24 am
It could be a monkey-remember there are alot of Wizard of Oz references going on, I don’t think we will find out who it is and what he represents until the producers are good and ready to let us in on it.
Comment by Shazoo — May 11, 2007 @ 11:25 am
I immediately thought of Dennis Hopper, but the Terry O’Quinn idea is interesting. What if Locke dies and becomes Jacob, going along with the alternate timeline idea. Locke is living in multiple times, and is asking himself to help, since he is in a sense captive (as Jacob). Maybe he dies as Locke and then becomes Jacob, which would make his Jacob self now visible and there is where the showdown with Jack might come into play. Sorry if this has been covered and a little sloppy, I’m at work and couldn’t read through all comments.
Comment by john voigt — May 11, 2007 @ 11:29 am
I think the Alvar Hanso thing is a red herring. It’s definitely Locke.
Comment by Hesiod — May 11, 2007 @ 11:39 am
Did anyone else notice that when Locke goes to say,
“Oh yes you did, I heard you, you said..”
Thats immediatly when Jacob starts his fury?
Like he didnt want Locke to tell Ben what he said?
You never see Jacob attempt to assault Locke either, he only ‘attacks’ Ben.
I found that interesting.
Comment by bandbaby — May 11, 2007 @ 11:45 am

Comment by jay — May 11, 2007 @ 12:33 pm
While reading that mission statement, you hear the music changes to that creepy toned version of Hanso music. If you turn up the computer volume you can hear someone speaking underneath it. There is something there about “I have the virus” and “humanity needs me”. I acyually just listened to it again. If you go to the third paragraph of the mission statement and right click on “at this moment” and then click on play from the menu, and you will hear it all. It sounds like that Mittlewerk dude. Probably nothing important now that I have heard it.
Peace homies.
Comment by silentme — May 11, 2007 @ 12:33 pm
I agree with you jay, I believe that Jacob is wearing a hood, similar to what desmond was wearing in the brotherhood at the monastary. You can actually see a tear in the hood, with a triangle piece missing. When watching the show, without the enhanced pics, I thought he was wearing a hood.
Comment by 1miletogo — May 11, 2007 @ 1:27 pm
Right after Ben grasps the chair and is then thrown back, the camera pans right. The eye is tricked because you think that it is Locke but freeze the frame… it is not Locke. This man has more hair than Locke (therefore it is not Locke from the future).
Theory (number ten million): there is a confluence of time / probability (hence the Numbers of Hurly’s) here in this place. People and ideas are stuck in “veils.” The figure asked for help because he is in what amounts to Hell… stuck forever in a quantum displacement. Remember, J. J. Abrams is doing the new Star Trek. He’s big on sci fi.

I do photo manipulation for a living, and I can say in my professional opinion that is a hoax. It is impossible to get anymore information out of the original image.
Also, Michael Emerson has already said what Jacob is in a recent interview. “somewhere between a corporeal being and an… imaginary person.”
A non-corporeal lifeform is a species composed of various forms of coherent gas or energy. Most non-corporeal races absorb and utilize energy directly from their environment. Generally, non-corporeal species do not utilize technology, compensating with intrinsic physiological capabilities. Some non-corporeal races have evolved beyond the need for sustenance, and wield substantial control over space and time.

you all need to get over the fact that there’s a very high probability that we DO NOT KNOW who jacob is because the writers of the show aren’t lame enough to have it be something as stupid as Locke, Jack’s dad, or anyone else for that matter.

While I wouldn’t consider myself a Photoshop “expert,” I am certainly knowledgeable in the limitations of image manipulation as it pertains to light. Fact of the matter is; you can not get detail from black. The dark parts of this picture start at #030301 [pure black is #000000]. Even after performing an auto color correction, auto contrast, and auto level, the best you can get is #050306

Comment by Goon — May 17, 2007 @ 3:04 pm
I don’t know why I am saying this, but I have watched every episode closely; and believe that Jacob is either Desmond, because of the fact that he can “travel” back and forth through time; or Jack Sheppard. Because they keep referring to him as a “Great Leader”, and I believe too many things on the island have involved Jack. There is something about him, and Desmond…..

That is what I think.If the pic is photoshoped who knows but the true Jacob seems to take several different forms.I don’t think it really matters who it is right now all that really seems to matter is the writers want everyone to be talking about this to keep the story going.I think it would be quite humorous for Jacob to be a family member of John Locke though.

I just went to lostpedia.com. On the Jacob page they confirmed the voice as Carlton Cuse, so, maybe they’re giving Carlton a role!!! JK, but not about the voi9ce, that was serious.

Nah this is a FAKE. Can you see, the actual face itself of “Locke” is a lot clearer than the rest of the image. You can clearly see his eyes, his eyebrows. Whereas his hair, his profile is blurry - this doesn’t make sense; if he was just highlighting image, or whatever he did to it, the least clear part would be the dark section. If this was a true picture, then the face would not be nearly as clear.
What I’m trying to say is, this photo is clearly Photoshopped. It’s well done, but really obvious. He’s taken the original image of Jacob, lightened it a bit like everyone else has done, and then CUT OUT A PICTURE OF TERRY O’QUINN AND PUT IT ON TOP. Yes it is well done, but it’s a fake.
If you don’t believe me, then again, check out the clarity of the “Locke” face - the mouth, nose, eye and eyebrow lines are MUCH clearer than the rest of the photo. You can even see where he’s cut out the picture. Besides, the birghtened area would be a lot greyer if this were a real picture, not as bright as it is.

if anything - it looks more like jacks father - but his nose was a bit pointer
perhaps its owen wilson

It’s not locke…that is not his nose!
Don’t think it’s anyone we know yet….just another question mark for us. I have to say, I’m really not too excited about having fifty million questions going on in my head for the next full season! Love it, but ready for answers!

it is 100% John Locke but I am stumpbed by the message on one of the dharma initiative videos reading god love us as he LOVED Jacob. May this have somthing to do with the balck smoke.

Actually the person in the picture is prop master Rob Kyker. Guess he was a fill in for the part untill they cast a jacob. I do think though that this jacob is john locks twin brother. We know that they are refering to Jacob as biblical Jacob which has a twin brother. The Jacob looks like John Locke from the past so could be his brother…but on the special features is showed the dharma guy making the orientation veido with rabbit 15 and then another rabbit 15 is found on a shelf and they all freak out and start saying don’t let them get near each other and they turn the camera off….which tells me they may be trying to clone people since attempts to reproduce by other means have failed….and and by the way…I do think the island is the Garden of Eden and people have managed to find it and have tried to exploit its fountain of youth features.
