Theories about Jacob's followers

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

They Are Not The "Good Guys"Edit

• There is reason to believe that the producers might want us to re-evaluate who we think is "good" and "bad". Frank Lapidus says to Bram "In my experience, people who go out of their way to say they're the good guys usually aren't the good guys". Frank Lapidus also says to Sun "they say they're the good guys. I'm not buying it either." Ilana's group might not be as good as we think they are.
  • As a result, Jacob might not actually be the "good" guy. The answer to who is "good" or "bad" won't be as easy as the viewer being told who is "good" or "bad".

They Are The "Good Guys"Edit

• The producers have stated that this upcoming season will involve a struggle between good and evil. With the information we have been given so far, Jacob has been painted in a "good" light, while his nemesis has been painted in an "evil" light, as we can assume from the Others' reverence for Jacob, the general fear associated with the monster, and the white associated with Jacob contrasted with the black associated with his nemesis. Therefore in can be assumed that Jacob's bodyguards, as an extension of his ideals and interests, will fall on the side of "good" in the upcoming struggle.
