The thing about ben forgetting being shot doesn't solve the time travel problem. When Jin found rouseau washed up on the beach pregnant, why wouldnt she remember Jin when she sees him when they crash the first time? Hurley is only scratching the surface

But I feel that the writers were not being true to Sayid's character by not having him kill Lil' Ben. The guy is a killer. He's killed with his bare hands, he's killed with objects, and he's killed with guns, Guns GUNS! Jin was unconscious, and he was alone with Lil' Ben with no time pressure on him or anything of the sort... He had all the time in the world and every emotional reason to make sure the job was done right! ...but we're supposed to just take it as given that he ploinks one into his chest and runs away like a little sissy without even checking for a pulse. Um... "No!" This was a case of lazy writers needing a plot device more than needing the actions of their characters to be believable. Not one of their finest moments. On the other hand an interesting bit of information from this episode is the inference that something must be "done" to someone in order for them to become an "Other", and it happens at "The Temple". Veeeery interesting.

We are being given answers, and the occassional new question is being raised.
Someone earlier guessed that Locke became Jacob, because he ends up traveling into the 1970s, and later ends up becoming Jacob in 2007. However, we now know that to be false. Jacob was mentioned in a conversation between Richard Alpert and Charles Widmore, when Ben (as a child in 1977) was recovering from his gunshot wound. (And also, Locke mentioned Jacob to Alpert in a conversation back in the 1950s, when all of the time travel was happening.) Also, it now seems as though Ben didn't successfully kill Penny or Desmond at the marina, before heading back to the island. BTW, I think that Ilayna and the other people from the Arjia plane crash (who have the guns, and knocked Frank out), are more people sent by Widmore. They didn't kill Ben or take him hostage, so they must have another agenda. - Donald

I dunno Donald. That crazy talk just before they KO'd Frank leads me to believe they are something else entirely.
Remember when they were searching through a desk looking for information on DHARMA? Widmore wouldn't need to send people to do that.

Richard is a very mysterious character and one the writers have not explained too much about. He appears to be the same age in all time periods. That scene of Richard and Locke in the states, when Richard was disappointed with Locke. Was that significant? It is sure puzzling me.

"The others" seem to know all about everything DHARMA. Another theory could be that they are related to the island's original inhabitants, who worshiped at the idol (statue) and also created the carvings / temple / wheel. That is why they used that question. They were asking the question of Frank to test who he was, and where his loyalties lie. Then we would have a new group in the story. Right now, we have the Oceanic survivors, "the others", the DHARMA people, other people from the island (Desmond, Danielle, etc.), the freighter of people sent by Charles Widmore (both mercenaries and scientific), and the Ajira survivors. I'm not so sure I buy the idea that the original inhabitants are related to "the others" (current generation). The original inhabitants seemed much more "spiritual" from what we know of them (I liken them to people like the Mayans). The original inhabitants had the statue, the underground and above ground temples that they carved, the wheel, etc. - Donald P.S. Yes, Ken. Richard Alpert is someone they have not revealed a lot about, other than his agelessness and his ability to be involved in many situations over the years. At times, he seems to have more authority than Charles Widmore, Ben Linus, or John Locke. And yet, he seems to let them lead. You'd almost think he was more of an observer, but at times he does get involved.

I think miles was right with his theory. I loved the first scene on the beach, (anyone have any idea what the hell they were talking about?) the whole cave thing was very Heat of Darkness.
Anyone know where I can find what richard said in latin when asked about the statue? I cant get over the mistakes with the guns, but its the greatest show ever.

On this site, it says that Richard responded to the question of "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" with "Ille qui nos omnes servabit" - “He who will protect/save us all.” That Lostpedia site is handy. - Donald P.S. My theory about the people on the Ajira flight (Ilana and her crew), and also my theory about Jacob, were blown out of the water.

I was somehow thinking or hoping Jacob would be a more admirable character. I'm disappointed, I think. I always route for the good guys. Who are the good guys? That’s the whole question here.
Talk about a cliff hanger.....
