Richard: Are you the devil?
Jacob: Only on Supernatural

[@desireosunadelarosa7567]

Best coment ever? I say yes!

[@NobleBoss]

Only on Thursdays

[@DarthRushy]

2:30
"If you don't, he will."
Jacob: (Didn't realise it in 500 years.) ... you want a job?

[@edffedededed3142]

I think that MIB getting richard to try to kill jacob might have been the first time and then jacob seeing the example first hand of MIB interfering made him change his mind

[@kbanghart]

@@edffedededed3142 but, Jacob still wanted people to make up their own minds.

[@gwh3013]

He's thick as shit that jacob

[@Rudy_Play]

Hahaha

[@user-kb2no8yg1o]

Also 3:04
"I want my wife back."
Jacob: (Weighing the possibility to turn to his wife and spend some time as his wife) ... can't do that...

[@herakleitus]

Great line reading when he says “I can’t do that.” Pellegrino’s expression shows that Jacob can do it, but knows that it would prevent Ricardo from fully doing the job.

[@alpkorsan]

He can't do it because it doesn't benefit him...

[@catac83]

He can't do it because there are limits to his power

[@keeneraf]

@@catac83idk his facial expressions read more, I can’t do that because it would interfere. not I can’t do that because it’s beyond my abilities…

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

This makes sense when you relate this to what Dogen says in an earlier episode, the island has light and dark inside it, just as humans, the light is what keeps the darkness from taking over. Imagine a world where humans had no empathy or conscience, it would be hell on Earth, so the light is the cork that keeps evil at bay.

[@marekmarecki6248]

you mean smoke monster. He is the evil incarnate.

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

Marek Marecki Yeah that's what I mean, he is a living embodiment of the darkness, or evil, inside everyone, if the light went out everyone would become like him, and eventually mankind would destroy itself.
Something like that...

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

robbiek77 It's also partly based on Buddhism, because they say "Namaste" meaning "The light within you honours the light within me" and this is related to what I mentioned earlier. Also the "Dharma" initiative and all the references to wheels, like the wheel of Karma. Also the mother saying that down in the cave of light was "Life, Death and Rebirth"

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

RobbieK77 Here today gone tomorrow

[@victorpradha9946]

It is about balance. The light and the dark exist as a unity. Through that, people have free will...they are NOT simply cast in the MOLD of good or evil, their choices and actions make them so. Jacob tossing MiB into cave (remember "mother" made it so they can't kill each other) caused the problem. An undying consciousness entered the cave...that consciousness was seething in anger and hatred for Jacob, for "mother", carrying a pathological "need" to get off the Island, and contempt for all humanity. This consciousness was transferred to the "evil" that existed in unity with light. Darkness has no meaning without Light and Light cannot exist without Darkness. That darkness now sentient imbued with MiB's desire to leave sought separation from the Source and ultimately from the Island. But to do so meant it must extinguish the Light to which it is bound. And if the light goes out here, it goes out everywhere. The balance is lost and darkness pervades. Mankind no longer has free will.
Jack had to stay back, he had to restore the light and in killing MiB, allowed the darkness to return to the Source where it once again existed in unity. T

[@RadagonTheRed]

Oh man, I miss this show SO SO SO much. Everything about it was just stunningly good.
• *Incredible acting*
• *Excellent and inspired deep storylines*
• *Gorgeous cinematography* _(Please click Read More guys, Lost deserves me to say more!_
• *Beautiful (and very much underrated/under-appreciated) music*
• *Intelligent and insightful cliffhangers*
• *Lovable and fascinating character construction*
To be honest I could go on all night, but I cannot express how much I adore and miss this show. From the age of 13, on the very first day the pilot aired - my life changed forever.
*SEE YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE, BROTHER!* (I am from the UK, like Desmond!)

[@acme-1889]

Except the end.

[@michaelyoon9355]

Everything except the end

[@jbreezy101]

Acme and Michael beat me to it.

[@jbreezy101]

But the action scenes in The End were amazing!

[@TheJr1302]

The actor who played Alpert was so good in this show.

[@leadspot]

Pelligrini's acting is brilliant

[@skylar4shurr1]

The Pastor of my church used this scene for a sermon illistration. How often can you say you saw a scene of LOST in church!

[@heitorabdias2212]

Skylar Shurr hahahahah

[@zaharaddeenkabeer2581]

Seriously🤔?

I can see the vision
Jacob is God
MIB is The Devil
The island is earth
The people are humans God puts down on earth for a test
Devil wants them to be corruptable
God wants them to reach their potential
God doesnt want to intervene with the process but the devil does.
God appoints Richard, a Prophet to represent him and guide the people in the straight path.
Lost has many religious elements in it

[@magnusnilsson6217]

It's...an athmosphere. One of the best creations out there!

[@mrwalnuthero]

"are you the devil?" wrong show richard lol

[@Winee007]

Richard is probably the most interesting character. BTW this scene >It feels like I was waiting for this for like the whole 5 seasons. Great acting, chemistry, dialogue.
PERFECT

[@seanharvey7092]

I always thought it would be a better analogy if MIB was the wine, the island was the bottle, and Jacob or the protecter of the island was the cork that trapped the darkness.

[@EdensSecret1]

I love Ricardo's acting

[@HowManyTimes234]

Richard has just begun to learn English, gets stranded on the island, and suddenly knows how to understand and speak English almost perfectly
the Island is certainly a magical place! :P

[@harrisaziz1028]

Thanks for these uploads

[@MrWilliamson9411]

Richard was kind of an advisor for Jacob as well during this scene

[@Redzsix]

the best series, very good story!!!

[@beko1200567]

masterpiece

[@lendial]

wow this is a good summary for the entire series.

[@brunobliss]

richard's beard is no joke

[@naylik2562]

His beard is complete

[@pieroog]

03:04 - I thought that it was impossible.... but now? Jacob's face tells me that he already KNEW that Richard would be instrumental to finalizing the plan once his wife would tell him "what to do" to get rid of MiB. With her around - Ricardo wouldn't care to play ball. Sneaky Effing Jacob

[@NoticerOfficial]

To those wondering this is episode eight not nine.
And yes this means I just started going through the damn show again… 12 years later

[@DarthRushy]

Jacob's theme=ROCKS.

[@2timesNOLA]

Season 6 waz jus Perfect 10/10

[@Lokgorel]

Eureka! moment:
Richard: If you don't, he will!
Jacob thinking: of course!

[@Ed-zp2xo]

Jacob "I can't help people, they have to help themselves...but you can do it for me"...bit of a hypocrite

[@Businessmanthess]

A very documented answer...

[@magnusnilsson6217]

''That I can do'. Strong.

[@donweatherwax9318]

Possibly my favorite line in the show.

[@Sora90Kairi]

Richard: Are you the devil?
Well, on Supernatural....

[@kibwel.parker6042]

In this scene we hear jacobs theme, Locke-less monster's theme and richards theme. Michael giaccino is the John Williams of this generation

[@NZpower018]

0:38 Jacob's face when he's asked if he is the devil xD

[@zaharaddeenkabeer2581]

My favorite part of the series❤

[@granofuru]

IF YOU DON'T, HE WILL! 🔥😭🙌RICHARD

[@geektoys370]

Richard: If you don’t, he will
*Jacob that didn’t realise it for 1800 years*: want a. Job..?

[@Giorno.]

That's the best scene in Lost, after the End of the Constant, of course.
I don't know why people keep arguing about the mysteries of lost after this single episode... Now it is obvious that the Island is the Gate of Hell itself. Explains everything.

[@JFX7594]

This is a really good metaphor for Christianity, in my opinion!

[@Electricsheep86]

And every other Religion.

[@stillgotyourmom]

​@@Electricsheep86BS its jwish

[@Electricsheep86]

@@stillgotyourmom There are multiple allusions to many Religions in Lost.

[@stillgotyourmom]

@@Electricsheep86 You can see much in anything but the producers are jwish and the logic of the worlds is jwish too if you know what is what. Jws especially cabal believe in this world as real low and a Devil that needs to be feeded by negative emotions and after death you will come to a sanatorium like place where you can also get lost or you can be reborn or go further to got when you are ready. Its all based on this

[@Electricsheep86]

@@stillgotyourmom also you need to work on your spelling.

[@stevealigheri]

Imagine being Jacob. His mother was probably the last survivor of a civilisation of protectors on that island, she was definitely very lonely and so had Jacob and kidnapped the man in black so at least she had company. Jacob though, stuck on an island for thousands of years with someone who only wants to murder you, living in ruins, wondering about the civilisation that made the structures around you. By all acounts he should have went insane millennia ago.

[@Francescojg]

It seems that the stone structures (Egyptian and Aztec) were made by people that jacob himself brought to the island. Their real mother was ancient Roman and their false mother only living in that cave, seems to indicate that she did not intentionally invite anyone to the island and killed anyone who stumbled across it

[@blaze4111]

​@@Francescojg i suspect their adoptive mother was indeed lonely and wanted kids so she got the ship claudia was in to get to the island and killed claudia after she gave birth so she can have her kids.

[@TheRoook]

''No one come's in unless i invaite them in. :)''

[@greken145]

@Lokgorel Dont u think Jacob knew it already? He just let the conversation come to that point so Richard would believe that he it was his idea..truth is that the reason he brought Richard to the island it was because of that "job"..

[@verdigrisverdigris766]

like how jacob refers to the the devil and the darkness

[@MichaeIBurrows]

Can never unsee this guy other then Lucifer’s Vessel or Rita’s ex lol

[@tpommer]

This is the same story of pushing the button every 108 Minutes on a different level. What Jacob says about the bottle is not necessarily fact. It's only what he thinks thats all about.

[@Abodd93]

I pretty sure the island is just one big electromagnetic site that has to be protected. The story about hell is just jacobs explanation and understanding of that. That's why Mother saw the men as enemies.

[@kbanghart]

@@Abodd93 yeah but you have the smoke monster. There is a living presence there, it's not just energy.

[@magnusnilsson6217]

Sum of the square of 2 and the cube of 3.

[@mst3KGf]

@DrDareable The Black Rock crashed into it and obliterated it save for the foot and base. I'm surprised Jacob didn't hand Richard a bill for property damage.

[@Garp397]

How did jacob make richard timeless, just his touch or did he bring him to that pool in the temple?

[@AirPowered]

I think his touch has the same energy :)

[@MKeehl23]

it seems like the stephen king dark tower

[@NCISfanatic21]

That's so cool

[@lucasbachmann]

The show should have just made the smoke monster the biggest baddest Genie that needed a whole island as it's bottle. Instead we got that nonsense with the crazy mom and two brothers.

[@samanthab1923]

I always thought Ricardo was older. Like Roman times

[@zaharaddeenkabeer2581]

You don't know what really is a TV show if you haven't watch lost.

[@KlaymenDel]

1:39
"the darkness" is obviously ADRed. It sticks out too much. I wonder what was the original word.
"And it's the only thing keeping the ... where it belongs" . Maybe it's something like "evil" or something. I wonder why did they change it

[@stillgotyourmom]

I think yall getting it a bit wrong.

[@MrJar96]

so if the wine is the mib and the cork is the island, what is the bottle?

[@kibwel.parker6042]

Jacob is really wrong here. We're weak and we sin again & again. But it is when we acknowledge, regret and feell bad then ask forgiveness and seek repentance that we overcome those sins

[@EternityinOurHearts316]

@csibatmanfan What I find hard to believe is how fans actually side with MIB in this show...

[@greken145]

@FaithID isnt it sand?

[@MoscaMike]

@landenundertakerfan im pretty sure its jacobs theme

[@_zproxy]

2021

[@BarbieChaite]

I can't do that either

I want to be total free

[@SamiZaatari]

@MrJar96 the ocean, ;)

[@wjrasmussen666]

And they are drinking evil. Jacob is evil.

[@KingLouisDude]

If he wants his wife back but knows that she's dead, why does he want to live forever then? That's what I don't understand...actually that doesn't make any sense except if his fear of death is stronger than his longing for his wife...

[@RedOneWTF]

He thinks he’s going to hell once he dies so he won’t see his wife, that’s why he asks if he can be absolved of his sins, since Jacob can’t do that he’d rather stay alive over dying

[@Thewarrior26]

@MrJar96 earth

[@wolfxlover67]

[@greken145]

Yea, he "summoned" Richard there as he summoned all the others..

[@claratelles3559]

guy, you really don't understand LOST.

[@riiad]

@prezi93
LOL

[@gwh3013]

Great last half of this scene, lead to nothing meh

[@gratefulgoddess4323]

Should have been more persistent in asking for his wife back.

[@kbanghart]

Wouldn't have mattered

[@redcowcat8705]

Can Jacob do it tho? He has no powers. He's just a slave for the island and he doesn't want to do it anymore so he asked this man to help him.

[@verdigrisverdigris766]

um, so that wine is like 2000 years old? yuck

[@brianlaudrupchannel]

Brilliant scene but Lost got too religious for me

[@kbanghart]

Religious? Or you mean supernatural

[@brianlaudrupchannel]

@@kbanghart religious

[@kbanghart]

@@brianlaudrupchannel I disagree, many fans of the show saw just a more general kind of spirituality. But if you call it religion, of course you are free to do so.

[@brianlaudrupchannel]

@@kbanghart or religious symbolism. The island was basically a weird religious cult and jacob a god, and MIB the devil

[@kbanghart]

@@brianlaudrupchannel maybe, but the show left that pretty wide open so you can interpret it however you want. There was biblical symbolism, Hindu, and others. And that ancient writing from the Egyptians or whoever that was. But Jacob and MIB weren't themselves exactly good or bad, they both were good at times, and not so nice other times.
