i heard, vincent and walt are coming back..

The power of a Genie (Djinn) is truly awesome and a real threat to the future of mankind. If you recognized this fact and were a noble person, you might well sacrifice your life to keep one ‘bottled’ up on a deserted Island and away from mankind. If you were truly clever you might think of a way to trick the Genie into being your master for all eternity but, if you did plan on tricking a Genie you better make one of your wishes something to the effect of “you can never kill me.” LOST is about the relationship between a Master and his angry Genie. *The Genie mythos began in the Mesopotamian region...very close to Egypt. The Island is loaded with hieroglyphics, ancient looking temples, and the statue. *Genies come in the form of smoke...The Smoke monster fits the bill nicely. *Genies grant wishes. This week the fake Locke pretty much came right out and said it and, if you recall Locke’s own father told Locke the Island grants wishes. *Genies are ancient beings so when he is asked to grant a wish like “I want to live forever” the Genie might make a temple housing a fountain of youth...where Sayid was resurrected. This is also why the mechanism for moving the Island through time and space is just a gear. The gear was considered high tech 3,000 years ago so the Genie made an Island moving gear. The Lighthouse was created along those same lines. Not computers or satellites but gears, chains and mirrors. *The Dharma initiative drilled into the power of a WISH! *The Island hopping through time are echoes of all the other times Jacob wished (by turning the gear) the Island to someplace else. If you recall, that gear was damaged when Locke found it, this might be why the Island was found by the Dharma initiative. Jacob wasn’t able to move it anymore. *Many philosophers think that living forever would eventually become a curse. Jacob is obviously much older than he looks but, he’s tired and wants out but, he can’t just unleash the Genie back on mankind. He has to find a replacement candidate. But, the candidate must be worthy so Jacob (who is probably a candidate that took over the job from someone else) manipulates candidates to see how they behave under stressful situations.

it will end with Sawyer and Jack left on the island alone playing the same roles as Jacob and MIB. it might be as simple of an ending as this. The patient guy, alway trying to do right and the other one that is very impatient and unhappy about the whole arrangement.
Knarik, where did you copy this text from?
I find a few things majorly wrong with it to start, like Locke finding the gear to move the island stuck. It was stuck because of what Ben did earlier...in his attempt to move the island the first time.
Jacob "wishing" the island to move is a little cheesy, and the idea that when the island was skipping through time it was following Jacobs old moves doesnt jibe to me....
However, it is as plausible as any other theory I have ever heard... and if I have learned ONE THING when it comes to Lost... it's that anything is possible, and nothing should be ruled out until it is proven to be otherwise.

Actually, at the lighthouse, "Austen" was listed on the Lighthouse wheel as #51 and was not crossed out.
We didn't see her name in the cave, though.
