Pilgrim's Progress
From Lostpedia
-It always ends the same. The rest is just progress. Who's progress? Do you think it's JACK's progress or everyone's progress OR the 06's progress? I'm leading towards Jack. And the statement: It always ends the same. What is IT? The game Jacob/Anti-Locke are playing? The situation of everyone being LOST? The outcome of each loop? I am pro JACK and can't wait for his progress of his journey of enlightenment next season.

did anyone notice that nemisis seems annoyed by the fighting, corupting while jacob is content to let it all play out ? nemeisis seems to beleive in fate but of an evil kind where jacob is free will and waiting to show that they can choose right over wrong- he did try to make an impression of selfish little runaway when it gets hard kate. the benifit of the doubt has nt done jacob any good. i think it is everyones progress, humanity as a whole (and i could never put all my eggs into a basket belonging to jack.flip flop jack. :)

Nemesis is implying that nothing changes, and Jack and company are therefore no different. Jacob is saying that it not over until it is over and we don't know yet about Jack and his genre, they may be "the ones". I think this light/dark game has been played by these two for eons. Jack et al. are just another progression and the point is, that there is no point.

I think he's just speaking that generally whoever comes to the island screws stuff up. Though, if u read my theory, 815 people HELPED him and were...different from other people who cmae to the island.
My theory: The big master plan is for the nemesis to kill jacob, and he found the loophole in locke. thats wat amde the 815 poeple mroe special. one of them was a loophole. and they screwd it all up by going back intime and blowing up a bomb :p

I think that every major real-life reference in Lost (religious, philosophical, literary) has to do with the notion that Man is essentially good. When Jacob refers to progress, I think he is referring to the infinite chance to prove that theory. I think that nemesis believes that Mankind will always give into the temptation to do wrong (whether we're talking about the apple in the Garden of Eden, or the real-life Said Jarrah getting on Flight 93 on 9/11). Furthermore, I think that John Locke represents the truest form of pure good in a person, who despite getting abused and conned over the course of his life, still believed that his life could work out. If Nemesis succeeds in corrupting the REALLY pure/good ones, then he finds his loophole...game over.
