Baby Boy named “Desmond”
My husband and I are planning to make our son Desmond. My mom (actually most people) don’t respond too positively when we tell them the name.
For some reason my mom has been getting Lost content on Facebook and has been sending me Desmond clips. She’s really come around to the name. “He’s the best character!”

Jacob's Message to Dogen
I just finished my yearly rewatch of Lost last week (2nd favorite show ever l, God it's so good) so I'm at the point where I just rewatch certain things. I'm at the part where they bring Sayid to the temple to heal him and Hurley gives Dogen the briefcase that Jacob gave him.
So the Annkh in the briefcase contained a message for Dogen from Jacob. Dogen asks them for their names and they tell them to him. The last name they mentioned Sayid, I can only assume that the message contained all of their names because they were the last surviving candidates. When Hurley asked what the message said, Dogen's interpreter Lennon says that it says if your friend (Sayid) dies, then they're all in trouble.
It never crossed my mind, but could it be that Jacob picked Sayid to be his successor and defeat the Man in Black? He knew his skills and what he could do. Dogen gave him the dagger to kill the Man in Black. Could that have been Jacob's plan? That when he was brought back to life corrupted, he was no longer an option to lead. Which is why later in the season when Jacob talks to Jack, James, Kate, and Hurley , that at that point he would take any one of them to volunteer to protect the island.
What are your thoughts on this?

Hear Me Out: Jacob Was the Real Villain of Lost
I just finished Lost and honestly, I can’t see how Jacob is viewed as a good guy or even morally grey. When you really break down his actions, he’s not a benevolent protector, he’s a manipulative warden trapped in the same lie his “mother” created.
Think about it:
• His so-called “mother” murdered an innocent woman, stole her babies, and raised them in captivity. She destroyed the Man in Black’s settlement just to stop him from leaving. She didn’t protect the Island, she controlled it
• Jacob inherits that same mindset. His first major act? Brutally beating/killing his own brother and throwing him into the Source, literally creating the Smoke Monster. The evil he spends eternity fighting only exists because of him
• The Man in Black just wanted to leave. There’s never any real evidence that his escape (initially) would end the world. Jacob/his Mother simply says it would, and everyone just believes him.
• Jacob’s “followers” act like zealots: kidnapping, torturing, and killing people in his name and he lets it happen. That’s not moral restraint; that’s moral cowardice.
• Even the “candidates” are victims. They’re pulled into Jacob’s endless game and either die or become the next prisoner guarding his Island. His version of salvation is just passing on his own chains.
The tragedy of Lost is that everyone who comes to the Island keeps repeating Jacob’s lie: protecting something they don’t understand, suffering for someone else’s faith.
⸻
TL;DR:
Jacob isn’t a “good guy” or morally grey, he’s a self-righteous manipulator who causes most of the Island’s suffering. The Man in Black might be vengeful, but he’s the only one who ever wanted freedom.
