re: LOST "Dr. Linus" S6.E7

Widmore told Locke that a war was coming to the island and that if Locke wasn't there, the wrong side would win. Do you guys think Widmore knew MIB needed Locke and that MIB is the "right" side; or do you think that Widmore was referencing that Locke will eventually be important to Jacob's side winning?

Maybe MIB needs a dead body going from the island to the outside world that he can jump into once he crosses the island threshold. In other words he may be setting Widmore up for the kill so he can use his body. As Widmore, he would be in command of the submarine and have access to all for Widmore's resources in general.
Yeah, but as Locke he gets Peg Bundy.

The MIB has never been able to get into Jacob's abode without some type of help, so why would the cave be any different unless it was the MIB's?
he had help to get into the cave. so wouldn't that mean it was jacobs?

The lighthouse is Jacob's so he can watch his candidates.
jacob can leave the island. so he doesn't need the lighthouse to see the candidates. MIB can't leave the island, so he needs the lighthouse.
i don't know which is for which, just letting you know why people are thinking this.

Nice recall. There seem to be hints of transference between the two timelines. Likewise some of the real Locke seems to be fighting to break out of Flocke; in particular I'm thinking about that scene when Flocke confronted the boy (Jacob?) in the jungle and the boy reminded Flocke of the rules that he could not "kill him" whoever "him" was. Flocke's response "You can't tell me what I can't do" was extremely Locke-like. My guess is that at some point Locke's conscious/spirit coming through in Flocke might make a difference in the end.

I like this idea. It would definitely cut down on the wading through 40+ pages of discussion every Tuesday/Wednesday.

Dunno about this. If MIB needed a dead body, there should be Christian Shepard's body stashed somewhere on the island (I assume).

I think a pre-episode thread and an a separate episode thread is a good idea. I don't see the need for a post-episode thread as I think it is natural for fans to want to discuss the episode in the same thread immediately after the episode ends.

There are usually only a few pages during the episode, so that would definitely be the shortest of the 3.

Yep, it was just a wild spontaneous thought that came to me after viewing the episode. Plus there are all kinds of unburied bodies in the Temple. I just think that Widmore would be useful form for MIB to exploit and obviously the submarine is a way off the island.

I think that would complicate things and further clog the top of the movie board since people would likely still respond to the two prior threads even after the episode is over.
Just read the damn 40 page thread or you're not a real LOST fan

I don't really have any theories after this episode. The story is really starting to move forward, as you see the sides take more shape and we start preparing for the big war. This episode was pretty rewarding as someone who has watched from the beginning, with the "return to camp" scene as someone else mentioned, and the Nikki and Paulo thing.
Michael Emerson is truly a mastermind. Bravo as usual.

First, I wasn't aware that these LOST threads were confined to only the opinions of the posters here. In fact there have been a ton of useful references and links that added to the discussion. Second, I never used the word "aliens", jerk. However, given the fact that Jacob and MIB obviously have supernatural powers I don't think it was ever as stretch that they are not of this world. Just face it: you are a bitter a-hole control freak who seeks status through an internet message board.

Three things:
Fantastic episode
I know there was some discussion about who are the remaining two candidates. I think Lapidus is one. Bram and Illana made a reference to him being in a candidate in the Season Five finale. Then, tonight, he said that we supposed to be piloting 815 but overslept and Ben responded, "but the island still got you." Thinking back to Season One, the first person killed by smokey is the 815 pilot. Maybe the writers actually did have this planned from the beginning? Also, episode 14 is entitled "The Candidate" which I think will give us an answer.
Second, Roger Linus confirmed the existence of the Dharma Initiative in the alternate reality. But he also said that he and Ben left the island together, which means that the hydrogen bomb didn't cause the split (Ben was already with Richard at that point).

It's looking this way.

Nice connection.

Caught this too.

Only because he had been shot by Sayid. Sayid would not have been there in the alt timeline.

Did anyone else catch parallels between Roger's discussion of what life would be like if they stayed on the island and Uncle Rico's dream that he would have took state if only the coach had played him (from Napoleon Dynamite)?
