Lost (spoilers)

Woke up this morning, thinking I'd figured out some of last night's episode of Lost.

Big Spoilers.




Rather than being a 'free will' guy, ("It's your decision...") Jacob is the master manipulator. The weaver of fates. Oh, what a tangled web we weave, once we practice to deceive....

He personally visits most of the main players in the nuclear event: making sure they come back to the Island, even establishing some of their motivations. Jack's need to prove his father wrong, Juliet's fear of abandonment, Sawyer's need to let go of bitterness, Sayid's anger and willingness to die, and so on. Making sure they are there to set off the bomb.

So that the future where Jacob is killed never happens.

A loophole within a loophole.

Of course, it would've seemed to be easier just to kill Ben, or something.

So....what do you guys think?
