Lost season three - right around the corner

[sleepyjeff]

Many many new questions and once again we are fooled into thinking we got a lot of new answers when we really didn't.

Still don't know who Jacob is. And now we have the new question as to why Ben can only see him and Locke can only hear him???

How did Ben become Richards boss.....and how did Richard not age a day over what has got to be at least 25 years?

Still don't know what the Dharma people were doing there.

What's up with Portland(and I don't mean their liberal city council either)? Ben was born just outside of Portland and this is also where Juliet was supposed to go when she was recruited........why?

One question was answered for me tonite but I figured it out of next weeks preview.

For those who don't watch the previews I put this in a spoiler...even though what I have to say is just conjecture anyway.

Spoiler:

I think I know what Rousuau was doing with the dynomite...........getting it for Jack

I wonder if Jacob only manifests in ways influenced by other people. For instance, he looks like Locke, but is that how he appears to Ben? I would think not, since Ben doesn't show any sign of that being the case. Maybe Jacob was the one who appeared to Ben as his mom, and perhaps he also was the energy that Jack saw as his dad. It looked like there was some sort of binding circle around the cabin, perhaps to contain Jacob's energy.

It looked like the Others were starting to mistrust Ben and gravitate more toward Locke. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Well I started to think that Ben took Locke to the Bates Motel when he was chatting with the rocking chair.. I was like "Oh writers please dont let Ben put on a dress and try to stab Locke!"

Or maybe Locke was right and Ben is a kook and he rigged Jacob's place to appear haunted or whatever? These are the "others" who did disguise themselves (remember all the fake beards & dirty clothes) and Ben did ask some of them to pretend to be the plane survivors.. Ben could just be bonkers?

I mean during the flashbacks it is pretty much what the person experienced and maybe Ben just thought he saw his mom.. I mean its not that uncommon that traumatized children see things... have wishful thinking...
