I am starting to wonder if Aaron, Jacob, Blonde Boy, MiB, Smokie and the Candidate are all one in the same.....which would explain why MiB can't kill Sawyer.

They can't kill Sawyer because Sawyer brings the sexy.

I still don't understand what they mean. Yeah, Jacob scrawled them on the cave next to people's names, but what does that actually mean?

In the flash-sideways, Locke is still with Helen. During the marriage conversation, Helen suggests they have a Vegas wedding with just her parents and Locke's father. In Locke's original backstory, his father "stole" Locke's kidney and caused Locke to become handicapped. In the FS, Locke is still handicapped and apparently on good terms with his father. So how did he lose the use of his legs in the FS?

I caught that too, SM. Found it odd and way too blatant for the writes to miss, right?

Also, Ben working as a European History teacher in the FS. But Young Ben was on the island in 1977 when the atom bomb went off. How? What? Huh?

I thought all of the women and children were sent away on the sub.

Ah. I forgot about that. Now it's not so much a question of "what is he doing there" as it is "what's he going to do now"...being a former inhabitant of the island and all.

Nothing is unintentional.

I'm curious what the significance of Helen's black nailpolish is. Possibly just foreshadowing (sideshadowing?) Locke becoming the Man in Black?

---So far we've seen both Kate and Jack have looks on their faces which indicated some sort of deja vu.....was it just me or did Locke kinda have a lost memory come back to him when he was getting wet from the sprinklers?

---If MiB is stuck with Locke's face(as Illana indicated) does that mean Christian, who appeared to Sun and Lepidus after MiB was seen walking around as Locke IS NOT the Smoke Monster/MiB?

---Are the names we didn't see on the cave wall more significant then the ones we did? Kate? Lepidus? Hume?
