Jacob touched:
Kate, Sawyer as kids in the 1970s
Locke after he got pushed out of the building
Jack after his first surgery
Jin & Sun at their wedding
Those are all pre-Oceanic 815; but these are afterwards:
Sayid just before Nadia is runover
Hurley after he gets out of jail
I thought the touch was maybe predestining them to be on Oceanic 815, but that doesn't match. He presumably resurrected John from the dead and saved Sayid from being run over himself.
Don't get what the touch means. Plus, there was no scene of his touching Juliet. Does that mean she really is a goner after The Incident?
I forget who was "Jacob's List" when Michael was sent to get people. Didn't it not include Hurley but he insisted on coming along anyway? And Ben was presumably sent to get John specifically, right?
