Still no idea who that kid is.
I'm still getting the God/Satan vibe from Jacob and Esau. Each episode makes it clearer.
As ben was pouring his guts out to ilana you can see in her face that she doesnt want to forgive but does so anyway most likely in the name of jacob.
Esau did nothing to Illana. He could have torn her to pieces himself but didn't. She's most likely protected under jacob as well, don't see why not.
Esau is "recruiting" and promising to give people their deepest wishes without mentioning a "catch" and kills those who wont follow. Where jacob would tell you, as he told Dogen, that there is a catch. Equivilant exchange. Another example is when he gave the real locke his life back after being pushed out of a window, but he was left in a wheel chair in that life.
Locke and Esau have been encountering eachother quite a lot on the island. Locke seems to be used by people a lot on this show. Smokey also used mr eko to regain johns faith back into the island (or so he thinks)
He stated that he saw the heart or eye of the island (forgot which) and said how beautiful it was. (again another illusion by mib?) and How the "island" is telling him what to do. How did he possess so many skills on the island? (like claire) Was Locke claimed? Is it possible that locke died on the plane crash and was claimed by MiB? From the beginning of season 1, locke seems like the strangest character in the entire show.
MiB and jacob seem to be equal or the same, yet work in different ways.
Evil incarnate.
