I'm confused as to why you think he is a new character.

I'll try one more time.

Up until last night, the presence in Jacob's cabin was Jacob. Locke was Locke. Ghostly apparitions were either interpreted as Jacob, or rather, the Island's intentions manifest as Jacob being Christian etc.

As they've done many times before, they have a new head pop up to be the be-all-end-all answer to everything. Who is the ultimate adversary? It's Ben and the Others. No, it's Dharma, see they were here before. No, meet this guy named Widmore, he's totally it. No, there's this supernatural island presence called Jacob, he's running the show. No, check out this guy Richard, he never ages. No, here, meet ANOTHER SUPERNATURAL GUY, he was at the bottom of this THE WHOLE TIME, totally seriously you gotta believe us. How dare you say that there was no evidence of him before and that we just made him up last minute?!

Maybe it's me, maybe I'm just sick of being bait and switched. Maybe I am over getting Animal Farmed, with the words on the barn door getting changed every time I watch an episode.

How many other things need to be "revealed"? How many times do I have to be told that I wasn't told anything to begin with? By this standard they could do an ultimate final episode where everything we know was utter bullsh1t. Maybe there's yet another man behind the curtain behind the yet another man behind the curtain behind yet another....
