Jacob: The Energizer Bunny (Part 2)

II. Future – Locke
Now let’s talk about bunnies. Everyone loves Bunnies! But how do they apply to this theory? Everyone by this point has seen the Orchid Orientation Video and the rabbits there which appear to either be clones or (I think) the same rabbit from different times, like one from the future and one from the present. There is the classic movie plot point where a person from the future goes back in time and tries to do something in the past, but can’t come across themselves from the past (like Harry Potter 3). If they do see themselves, something awful will happen and time will collapse on it self, or whatever. Jacob is future – Locke, and Locke can’t see or interact with him or something awful will happen. “Jacob” had come back to do something on the island somehow, someway, and Ben managed to trap him somehow, and essentially asked himself for help.

Personally, I like the first part of the theory better, but I’d be willing to accept the second one too.
