LOST Revisited: Pre-Game for “Sundown”

And speaking of the Old Testament, it seems like Silas and Jacob are stand-ins for the Old Testament and New Testament versions of God. Silas is angry, killing people for the slightest offense. Jacob is more of a “gentle nudge” type, who seems to believe in forgiveness. It’s important to not that Jacob is not flawless – he caused the death of Nadia, for example. But Smokey, he’s savage in his anger. Look at the way he attacked Eko, ore even the way he took out Bram and company – picking them up and breaking their backs, then tossing them aside. That’s some Old Testament anger right there.
