Theories about Wallace

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Possible Identifications

• Wallace is Jacob's surname
• Wallace is Walt
  • Wallace is Walt's grandmother's surname
    • What's the evidence for wallace being his grandmother's surname?
      • I think it was the episode in season 4 kevin johnson where we see Walt's grandmother,

well actually its Micheal talking to her.

• Wallace is the Man in Black. He was an actual man who died and was then inhabited by the smoke monster, much like John Locke was. Jacob was able to release the monster from him and allowed him to leave the island, but now he must come back. He will not have aged, just like Richard does not age because he was dead and inhabited by the smoke monster at one point too.

Jacob's Intent

• Because Wallace is crossed-out, s/he is not a candidate. It is possible that Jacob's intent was to reveal himself to Jack. Turning the wheel to 108 would cause Jack to catch a glimpse of what the Lighthouse could do. Jack is not a "man of faith," so Jacob must convince him of the Island's purpose. Furthermore, Jack's admits to Hurley that his only reason for coming back was that he "was broken," and Jack hoped the Island would put him back together. Jacob's revelation will accomplish that.
