That question popped into my head while I was looking at a large public wall clock.
I saw the line between 12 and the 6 and started doing simple math: 12 minus 6 equals 6.
Then I mentally drew lines around the clock face:
11 -5 = 6
10-4 = 6
9-3 = 6
8 -2 = 6
7-1 = 6.
I concluded that 6 was a key number in time.
A minute is 60 seconds; an hour 60 minutes and a tenth (our current counting system) of an minute is .6.
Time was a major theme in LOST. In one aspect, Time had trapped Jacob and his brother on the island. Time was frozen for thousands of years based upon the people brought to the island. Jacob and his brother were then also brought to the island as candidates by Crazy Mother.
Who was the Number 6 candidate in the Lighthouse?
Jensen.
But his name was stricken.
What does Jensen mean?
The name Jensen is a Scandinavian baby name. Its meaning is from:
Hebrew John 'Jehovah has been gracious; has shown favor.
In Numerology, the name Jensen is tied to these attributes:
SOUL:
People with this name have a deep inner desire to use
their abilities in leadership, and to have personal independence. They
would rather focus on large, important issues, and delegate the details. EXPRESSION: People with this name tend to be a powerful force to all whose lives they touch. They are capable, charismatic leaders who often undertake large endeavors with great success. They value truth, justice, and discipline, and may be quick-tempered with those who do not. If they fail to develop their potential, they may become impractical and rigid.
There was a character who showed leadership ability with a strong sense of personal independence to leave his brother and his mother. He had a single focus on a large concept that there was something bigger and better away from the island; home. He helped the survivors try to harness the energy of the island to find a way home. He was quick tempered when his plans were thwarted, because he was rigid in his mission and ideals.
That man was Jacob's brother.
We were never told his name. But it could have been Jensen based upon the attributes of the Number 6, the number tied to Time itself, something that MIB was desperately trying to release so he could become mortal and go home.
