what are you basing this on? how do you know that he will just inherit MIB's power.

I'm just assuming like every other fricker in this thread......I think Whitmore is seeking the Holy grail type of scenerio.......thats all.

I do know that the island isn't hell or on top of hell........or underneath it etc........

richard isn't a candidate

he didn't kill richard because he wanted to use him to kill jacob..it had nothing to do with his faith.

I know. I was pointing out who he could or couldn't kill. The only rule that seems to apply to mib is the candidate rule or if they given eternal life by Jacob.

"More Four-Play: Just what you wanted (no?) a new four letter word that will be revealed in two weeks which is very important. If you want to play along, here goes: This word has no A's, one E, and as of episode 11 it will be clear that this four-letter word is what this series is ultimately all about. It's also the word that just might end up connecting the two worlds (the island and the Flash-Sideways Los Angeles) we've been seeing all season long."

The first 4 letter word was revealed last night to be CORK. What's next?

Forgive me for how simplistic this is going to sound...

What if they are playing to decide whether or not man will have a soul? Angels didn't have souls so God treated them different and some couldn't hack it.... Wasn't Satan cast down to Hell for going against God? Couldn't he lead an uprising if he managed to get out of hell (pop the cork)?

The people on the island could actually be souls BEFORE they are born... They are tested on the island and in their "actual life" which is the alternate timeline.

Adam and Eve are souls on the island before they become "real"... The question is whether or not they will have a soul or not.


Just spitballing.


Thoughts?


ETA:

Something along these lines would make sense in a "leading up to creation/trying to get it right" type scenario...

* Day and Night are up and running
* The sea has been created (Hydra station in charge of this)
* Land has been created
* Plants... check (Orchid was in charge of this)
* Animals... check (would explain the menagerie at one of the stations)
* Dharma initiative could be angels.
* Babies don't live because they are born without souls on the island

I was going to sarcastically say the word is going to be Hell, but it's the best guess I have based on the clues...(hE11) Episode 11 and no angels(A's) in hell.

I thought of hell at first but thought it would be too easy. Could be though. Most fans posting on boards, come up with these wild, overcomplicated theories and it's usually much simpler than that

Also, that was a shitty explanation of how the statue got destroyed. Really? A wooden ship knocks over a huge arse stone statue. And if the shite hit the statue wouldn't that stop the ship right there?

---

I think it was a huge-arse tidal wave/storm surge type thing where only the top of the statue was exposed above the water. A 30-foot wave would plausibly knock over a statue and leave a ship far inland.

No one has been able to explain how Ben was able to control the smoke monster in the cabin.
