LOST: Jacob = the Shaggy Protector?

I couldn't find a screencap from "What They Died For" to show you, but in SO many scenes with Jacob this week, the word "hangdog" jumped to mind, and I realized that thru some kind of reincarnation process short-circuited by a zany time travel mishap Vincent travels back in time to be born as Jacob and become the faithful furry wet-nosed Protector of the Island! The painting in the cabin that (supposedly) belongs to him is a self portrait, see? =)


Keep on keepin on~
