14. Are people (passengers on the Black Rock, the 815ers, Dharma, the 316ers) merely test subjects for Jacob and Jacob's enemy?
The initial conversation between the two of them was the most interesting part of the finale. One seems to believe people are bad. One wants to give us a chance to be good. I read one review that likened them to Loki and Bartley from Dogma. I can really see that, actually. Two supernatural, maybe god-like beings debating humanity. Experimenting with humanity.
And per Jacob it only ends once, and all the rest is progress. It sounds like we're talking about redeeming ourselves, humanity, before some end of the world event? Maybe one time we'll get it right?
Totally reminded me of Battlestar Gallactica. Humans and Cylons keep going through the same cycle of creation and destruction. Cycle upon cycle, time after time, the same events occurred. Can humanity change, if given the chance? Is Jacob trying to give us that chance?
