I wish i had a valid answer but i too find this very confusing all i can imagine for now is that he gets rewarded by the island forbeing protectiv and staying by his word for along time – that or the jaja juice Eve gave him which may contain super powers. Does sound naff so i hope it isn't the case

THose of you who have read harry potter lol Dumbledore's Pheonix burns itself and from the ashes is reborn again – my only theory being, when Jacob fell into that fire he was reborn. Bizzare but hey thats what LOST is about eh lol

Is Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) ever coming back to lost? any chance? If there's a parallel universe, shouldn't Juliet be there somewhere too, maybe with sawyer or ethan? Ethan showed up when claire was at hospital, didn't he? hmm…

Ha ha, I didn't realize that until you pointed it out :]

This episode answered so many questions. Now I don't remember this, so please tell me if you do, but did they ever mention where the hell the polar bears came from? Jack mentioned it in the flash back saying, “You shot a polar bear today, where did that come from?” So I'm wondering, did they answer that? If they have please tell me. Loved this episode. It really was deep and so informative. :] Poor Jacob. Anyone realize how adorable “mib” (?) was when he was a little boy and how he became the ugly one and Jacob the handsome one, though it was opposite when they were kids. Lol.

Wait, how is Penny the light? Explain please. She has had nothing to do with the island at all.

eh… not really sure how this episode was deep or informative to be honest… especially if yer man who they decide not to name, for some amazingly intelligent and mysterious reason, dies at the end. poor episode i thought, coming so close to the finale. very disappointing, like the ending will be i have a feeling…unless walt comes back and kills the lot of them!

look back at episode 12.. the boy locke and desmond see is young jacob!!
mark
i don't think he did possess their body, i think he can just form like them, maybe from their memories or spirit or something like that. coz if he was possesing the actual bodies then there wouldn't have been a body or skeleton that jacob placed next to his dead mother.
mark
yep and i think that wine jacob drank is the same as the kind richard drank, so maybe its the wine itself that makes people not age
mark
that was a response to unknown below me btw, i keep clicking the wrong reply button

I don't think he possesses the bodies. I agree with mark he only forms like them. Proof: Fake Locke was already leading the tribe “Locke's people” while Locke's body was carried around in a box by Illana and her group… So there were TWO “bodies” of Locke around. One dead, and one MiB.

hey gut..according to wikipedia..acrross the sea..happen in 2000 years back..read this..
Approximately 2,000 years before the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, a woman named Claudia is in the ocean clinging to the remains of a ship. She looks around and sees an Island. Eventually she is washed ashore and as she struggles to her feet her billowing red dress reveals her advanced pregnancy. The beach is strewn with debris from the shipwreck. She makes her way inland and drinks from a stream. As she drinks she sees a woman reflected in the water. The woman takes Claudia to her primitive camp, feeds her and treats her injuries.
Jacob and his twin, moments after birth.The two have a conversation in Latin, and the woman answers Claudia's questions, telling her that she is alone and that she also arrived “by accident.” Eventually she says that every question Claudia asks leads to another question and she suggests that Claudia should rest, and be grateful she is alive. She won't allow Claudia to look for other survivors, saying that she will find them. Claudia soon goes into labor with the woman acting as midwife. A beautiful boy, who Claudia names Jacob, is delivered. Then another boy is born. Unlike Jacob, he is agitated and restless. Claudia says that she had only picked one name. Swaddled in light and dark material, the woman cares for the babies with concern. When Claudia asks to see the second boy, the woman says, “I'm sorry,” and kills her with a blow to the head using a rock

when the survivors found the two bodies shepherd claimed they had been dead for 50 years

Evidentally, it's not so obvious to everyone. There's a lot of people saying that Smokey has been impersonating Jacob's brother all along.
