This raises a few things.

1 - it's possible to change the past, whatever happens happens, you can change the future, BUT there are no alternate realities . . . it only ends once.

2 - I almost thing there's a Battlestar Galactica theme in that conversation. It's all happened before, it will all happen again. How long, and how many lifetimes has Jacob and the antagonist been fighting?

3 - Did Jacob intise the Black Rock to come? If so, I think he left the option up to them, ergo he didn't bring them here, they chose to go (think how Hurley got back to the island, Jacob convinced him by leaving the choice to him)

4 - Relistening to the conversation, is the ending always the same, just the events leading up to it are different? Perhaps Jacob always winning the war, and the antagonist wants to kill him thinking it'll be his turn to win? If so, I think Jacob's side will still be victorious.

5 - Is Jacob or the Antagonist evil? I'm calling him the antagonist because Jacob is the focal point and he is Jacob's enemy, perhaps he's actually the progatonist?



On a side note. How the hell did the shop keeper know that the kids were stealing? The gaul to just walk up and accuse them and go through their bags. He was clearly tied up with the customers. Stupid continuity! LOL

Obviously you weren't raised in the 70's when those damned hippy kids were distrusted by the conservative minded shop keepers.

There sure seem to be a lot of rules on this island. It sure is starting to look like one big game.
