There is some other passage off the Island besides the wheel that we aren't aware of.


If Jacob can bring people to the Island... would it be wrong to assume he can send them elsewhere as well?
quote:

Are we sure Richard knew who the candidates were? The only person I know for sure who knew was Ilana because he gave her a list and told her to protect them. Otherwise I can't remember Richard ever coming out and saying who or who was not a candidate. He might have, I just can't remember it.


Richard actually seemed to know nothing about 'candidates' when talking to MIB/Locke

mib & richard
quote:

Why can't he leave the island now?


I assume it is because he has to have a means to leave (airplane, ship, submarine, etc) and he knows there are people trying to stop him (Illana and the remaining candidates). He can't just run to the airplane and jump on. He is plotting something more than we are seeing at the moment.

quote:

2) Once a new candidate is appointed (however that happens), does MIB start the game again with this new person?


I think the 'game' is between MIB and Jacob. Jacob's replacement will be there to prevent MIB from leaving.

quote:

3) What happens if/when MIB finds a replacement for himself?


I don't think we even know IF he has a role to be replaced. I think he was just trying to bait Ben and have him walk in to the ambush of the submarine crew.
the conversation MIB has with Richard (in 6x04) and with Jacob in (6x09) he ends with "Sooner than you think". Nothing huge, just thought is was interesting.

MIB & Jacob

MIB & Richard
couple questions i am pondering that i either haven't been posted yet or i missed in the thread...

1) Once jacob died, Richard seemed to believe Jacob lied to him and the MIB was telling the truth that he was in hell. If richard believed he was already in hell... why would he try to kill himself with the dynamite?

2) What is the significance on the particular dagger that MIB gave richard (Dogen gave Sayid)?

quote:

Then it doesn't make sense for Jacob to bring people to the island.

If he is truly concerned with good and evil, then why ever risk MIB escaping? MIB cannot escape without human intervention. Jacob is the one bringing them to the island.


one way to possibly view this is... If Jacob is right, man is good. If Jacob is wrong, man is inherently bad. Why is the world/mankind worth saving if we are proven to be corruptible and destructive?

On a side note... I agree with those that think it is all a game between Jacob and MIB. Personally it seems that Jacob is there to prevent MIB from leaving and is just bored. MIB doesn't seem interested in playing the game. Jacob is some kind of superior being therefore he is probably pretty confident that he is right. In his mind, there is no risk of MIB getting out because he truly seems to think man is 'good' and MIB won't escape.
I am just getting in the thread... so if it hasn't been mentioned yet, this is a quality post!
