Lost: Which Team Are You On?

Its so hard to choose sides in Lost.

On one hand we have Team Jacob which you know includes Jacob who is awesome and his new BFF Hurley who is also awesome but sadly also includes Jack. Team Jacob can offer a chance to fulfill destinies

On the other side is Team Flocke which has Smokey who is totally evil (that’s my take on Smokey anyway) but amazing, Sawyer and Crazy Eyed Claire but you know also seems to be intent on hurting our beloved Losties. Team Flocke can offer a chance to return home….if you believe him that is.

Where will the remaining Losties stand?

Jin will basically do anything to find Sun (and really they are so close to finding each other but this being Lost I’m sure some horrible obstacles will get in their way) and could be lured into either side if it meant being reunited with his wife.

Miles seems to be sticking at the Temple for now, I see him staying with Hurley and thus Team Jacob. I just want him to have a plot-line please.

Kate claims she just wants to find Claire but how will that go down? Will she flee from Team Flocke or join them? If she wants to reunite Claire with Aaron she may have to join forces with Flocke as he claims to want to leave.

Sun and Frank aren’t really on any team at the moment though seeing as they are following Ilana who is clearly Jacob’s side their allegiance could end up there.

Sayid has been ‘claimed’ but can the man who turned into an Assassin to save his friends really go darkside? I see Sayid fighting against his ‘destiny’ and not giving in to whatever infected Claire and presumably helped send her mad.

Richard is firmly in the Jacob is the greatest camp and we love him for it. Loyalty is endearing after all.

And what about the miscellaneous others? The ones that were with Richard, followed Flocke and now have fled to the temple, plus the group of others currently residing there and the remaining survivors of flight 316. Of course they may just end up being unimportant, killed off like the the Forgurt and co were by Keamy. Yet ultimately they may prove to be something more, after all if a war is brewing you always need foot soldiers. Will the Others become fed up with the word according to Jacob and hedge their bets elsewhere?

Finally there are the unknowns, people like Desmond who we can assume will play a role in this season, the Island isn’t done with him or so Eloise informed him. Ben followed Jacob, then killed him after years of being ignored but if as some people have speculated Jacob planned his death, he could easily forgive Ben of his misdemeanor. Mr Linus has always been a complicated character he may have been fairly quiet since sticking that knife in his former boss but I suspect he has plans. And I’m not ruling out Aaron and Walt playing a part in the ultimate fate of the Losties and the Island. Also Charles Widemore, a former leader, exiled a bit like Smokey being trapped only in reverse, surely he hasn’t given up on getting home?

As of 06×05 The Lighthouse here are the current teams.

Team Jacob: The ghost of Jacob, Hurley, Richard, Illana & Jack (he may not have accepted it yet but he will)

Team Flocke: Smokey/MIB/Locke, Claire & Sawyer.
Still to decide: Kate, Jin, Sun, Frank, Miles, Sayid (will fight against going to the Flockside), the Others, the 316 survivors.
Unknowns: Desmond, Ben, Aaron, Walt and Widemore.

Where I stand, currently Team Jacob, yes he has manipulated their lives but Smokey killed people like Eko! Eko damnit!
