I was pondering Lost this morning and started wondering about the Cabin. Something was definitely fishy with the way Locke found the Cabin at the end of Season 4 and I just put my finger on it.
It was the wrong cabin!
Horace gave Locke a way to find the real physical cabin, but is that really where Jacob is or has Locke been mislead? The clue to this is where the plans for the cabin are found - on Horace's physical body. Let's think about this:
- On the Island there are often distinctions made between physical and spiritual/ non-corporeal/ mystical.
- There is a distinction between the visage of Horace and the physical skeleton in the pit.
- There is a distinction between the Cabin that Horace built and the mystical moving cabin that Jacob resides in.
So, this all started when I asked myself where Jacob was and why he didn't speak to Locke himself. Then it hit me, Locke wasn't at Jacob's cabin (you know the one that moves all over the place and seemed desperate to get Hurley to enter a short time earlier). My conclusion is that the order to move the island may not have come from Jacob at all, but from Christian (?), Horace (Dharma) and possibly Widmore.
Now, if you haven't read my faction theory, please find it a few posts down or the rest of this won't make as much sense:
What I'm trying to get at is that Locke may have been manipulated by the Dharma faction to move the island and possibly upset Jacob's plans. I am now thinking that Christian isn't in league with Jacob at all (just because they're both ghosties doesn't mean they have to like each other), but is the spiritual (i.e. Jacob-like) leader of another faction not yet in control of the island. Heck, Widmore may have ordered the freighter to the island (and given the other protocals to set things up for Christian to convince Locke to move the island.
Note that Locke never tells Ben that the orders didn't come straight from Jacob.
On another note, I saw a post that got me thinking about the coffins. Is it me or does Christian's Season 1 coffin look a lot like Locke's coffin in Season 4? I need pictures of the two to compare, but I am wondering if there is something to this. I have often speculated that the show will again find itself where it began - Jack's eyes opening in the field.

Note: I have started revising my faction theory a bit based on philosophy rather than ownership of the island. Keep an eye out for more ramblings.
