As we are all acutely aware, our writers love to tinker with numbers and lists. Oceanic flight? 815. Ben and Alpert are all given lists. Now, with the last 2 episodes, we can tell that the writers have decided to imbue their characters with this fascination with lists and numbers. In fact, our most central castaways are given values that coincide with- of course- The Numbers.
Smokey shows Sawyer a cave lair complete with chalk scrawls of names and numbers. Shown? Our favorite numbers correlated with of our core castaways, except lovely Kate. Smokey alludes to it being Jacob's place. he professes that "Jacob has a thing for numbers" That may be true, but I dont know for certain. Based on the location and the style I say the cave is Smokey's.
Jacob leads Hurley and Jack to a heretofore unseen Lighthouse (seriously, how much more sketchy "well isnt this convenient?" stuff is going to just "pop up" on the island...or is the island "different" in the post- nuke explosion future?) which contains a wheel (not a frozen donkey wheel like the Orchid) with lists and names. 360 names to be exact. So, exactly who is listed there and why? Seems pretty likely that it's Jacob's lighthouse, at least in this version of the Island.
Here is the list of names and numbers on the lighthouse wheel.
Here is the list of names and numbers on the cave walls.
Now, to stretch and tease those brains:
1. What do we make of Kate being a non "Numbers" number? Or being absent on the cave versus the Lighthouse?
2. We have seen people walking around the island marked off of both lists- Littleton and Straume to be precise. Why?
3. When Smokey marked off Locke, sure looked like death = marked off. Or maybe death and/or Smokey's team means marked off?
Any theories, amigos?
