Both Kirk and Kate are from Iowa. Jacob the pedophile is creepy. Does Sayid's detailed knowledge of the bomb mean there really were WMDs in Iraq?
I'm guessing it is a bunch of guns When they said "candidate" I thought, hey, maybe these are Dharma people
Ok I got it: 1) Smoke monster tells Ben to follow Locke 2) Locke is going to kill Jacob 3) At the beginning of the episode the guy says he's gonna find a loophole and kill Jacob Hence... OLD GUY IS THE SMOKE MONSTER! The series is about SMOKEY VS JACOB!
So what makes our Oceanic/Others/FreighterFolk so special? More specifically the Oceanic gang. How did Jacob know to keep tabs on them?
Well in that opening sequence, Titus Welliver said something to the effect, they are always the same or something, I can't remember the exact dialogue, but something in the way he said it, or maybe something Jacob said made me wonder if the 815 survivors are reincarnated versions of past people on the island.
