LOST’s Writing on the Wall: Who’s a Candidate? « TVOvermind

Last night’s LOST was so packed full of information that it almost made my head explode. One of those wonderful bits (well, great big boulders) of information was the fact that Jacob had been seeking out “candidates” to replace him as the Island’s guardian, and that he’d been keeping a great big list of these candidates on a cave wall. In addition to the apparently five remaining ones (Shephard, Ford, Kwon, Reyes, and Jarrah), there were a lot of names that had been written on the wall but crossed out. Conspicuously missing is Kate Austen, who had an encounter with Jacob off the Island (like all the others did), and was on Jacob’s “list” in season three. Where is she on this massive wall of names? I don’t know, but we’ve been able to find quite a few more names on this massive ledger.
Number 10 was the name “Mattingley,” whose uniform we saw on an Other in “The Lie.” The Other was killed by John Locke, but it seems that the real Mattingley was killed even before that.
The best one on the list is 50, Gary Troup, the writer of the admittedly awful Bad Twin and more commonly known as the guy who got sucked into the turbine in the “Pilot.” Anyone still believe that the black flash over the turbine was just bad CGI?
Next on the list for “Worst Candidate Ever” is Sullivan, who you might remember as the rash guy from “Solitary” back in season one. Below is a table, (courtesy Lostpedia) which details every name seen on the table by the number listed next to their name.
