Do the names on the ceiling have anything to do with what we’ve been previously told about Jacob’s “list”?Over the past several seasons, we’ve occasionally heard of a list Jacob had compiled of select castaway names. In season 3, we heard two Others tell us who wasn’t on the list. In “I Do,” Danny angrily said that Jack wasn’t on Jacob’s list. And in “Par Avion,” Patchy, aka Mikhail Bakunin, told Locke, Sayid and Kate that they were “not on the list” because they were “flawed,” because they were “angry, and weak, and frightened.” So we have a discrepancy: the names on the ceiling don’t square with what the Others have said about Jacob’s list. My theory to explain this: the Others were misled by Smokey about Jacob’s true list of candidates in order to manipulate them into doing what “the rules” prevent him from doing — killing the candidates.
