Linus had temptation dangled before him. The cost? And whilst not at the level of daughter, Ben is certainly fond of Alex beyond care he'd oblige other students. We know what choice he made on the Island. In the Alternate Timeline Dr. Linus relinquished the chance of power for self-contentment and the good of others. He even gave Arzt his parking spot! Why was Dr. Linus able to be so selfless? Put it down to daddy issues. Like Jack, Ben it seems is a character whose daddy issues drove him down some tormented roads.
In the Island Timeline Roger Linus was a mean, lousy father for the most part and so, cast out from his love, Ben found a new father: the Island and, by extension, Jacob. He was the dutiful son for many years and yet, towards the end, he felt betrayed. He killed Roger with poison gas.
He killed Jacob with a dagger in the chest. Miles stated something intriguing; up to the last moment Jacob held hope for Ben, hope that he was wrong. Jacob may have hoped for the best but, it seems certain, he expected the worst and made provision for it Hurley and his guitar case with a note for Dogen pretty much exemplifies that point.
Just ill-timed. He didn't want to rule the Island. What he wanted was something to work for to earn affection that he never got, and to ultimately fill the hole left by the thing he held most dear. It was Alex. It was always Alex. Ben, the poor boy with the bad father, he just wanted to be a better father to someone else. Alpert dismissed it because it was not in the interests of the Island, or Jacob. It was something Ben, under his own leadership, was directing — for once serving his own needs rather than the will of the Island.
I believe it was significant that Ilana herself remarked that Jacob was like a father to her. But one thing is certain is that her faith is absolutely devout - in the name of the father. When Ben states that he will go to Nameless and his people, Ilana realises that it would be better to have Ben with her rather than against her. Ilana sacrificed her own vengeance for the greater good.
There was a little more dust blown off the pages of the very old book called The Richard Alpert Life Story. He had been to The Temple and met with scenes of a massacre — many of his people dead, the rest forsaking what he had followed his whole life. Alpert had been touched by Jacob and given everlasting life for a purpose he fully believed would one day be revealed — and then Jacob died and hope was extinguished. So Alpert went to the Black Rock, clearly to where his Island life began.
Again, there was an echo of this same idea with the surviving heroes going back to the beach camp — the place where their Island life began. As has been subtly hinted at on occasion, Alpert almost surely arrived on the Island on the Black Rock. Was he a slave or a member of the crew? Yet that he claimed to have never been back there would suggest that the place held bad memories for him.
Either he did something bad there, or something bad happened to him. More information please! Alpert was also certain of one thing: due to being touched by Jacob he was unable to kill himself.
We have seen that before, of course. Most notably there was Jack standing on a bridge. Michael maybe even had a bigger purpose he never managed to fulfil due to Nameless, in the form of Christian Shephard and Libby, steering him away. There's a big theory to be mined out of that idea. One for another time. Last time we saw Jack he was staring out to sea. Ever since Season One Jack and Locke have been at odds — forever on opposite sides of belief to each other.
Jacob and the Man In Black were rivals. Now the battle continues in its new form of Jack vs Locke. Ilana said there were just six left. Only I count five still alive. Ilana knows that Locke is dead, that Nameless has claimed his body.
Nameless, when he met up with Ben. With one subtle force-like gesture of his hand he released the ankle chains that had Ben bound. Hold up. Nameless can do that? Since when!? Aside over. Ilana says there are six candidates left. A slip of the tongue? The one key person missing from the cave ceiling of names that Jacob did touch. Kate Austen. Nothing else in this episode of major note, I believe. Our heroes are now together to plan their next move. Nameless has his band of people, being lead to surely be used and betrayed by him to achieve his own ends.
The stage is set. Oh, but wait. Straight out of leftfield, here comes Widmore in a submarine! Was it symbolic that he ignored the people on the beach to continue with his mission? Does that mean he is set on working alongside Nameless? Only Locke going back to the Island is the very thing that facilitated Nameless to be in his current position of ascendancy.
When Widmore was leader of The Others maybe he was duped by Nameless, in some form or other, and it resulted in some bad decisions kill Alex? Since then he has learned the error of his ways and now he returns to the Island knowing the situation is dire since his plan to have Ben removed failed, Did he somehow know Ben would be the implement Nameless would select to effect the loophole murder of Jacob?
Was that what the Freighter mission was about?. We are led to believe that Kate is a candidate after Jacob visited her as a child.
Her name also featured in the cave, meaning that she was considered to be the protector of the Island. However, many other characters have insisted that she isn't.
For instance, Mikhail insists that she isn't a candidate because she is flawed "Par Avion" but this contradicted by Jacob when he insists that he crossed her name off because she was a mother.
He then offers the job to Kate, telling her she could have it if she wanted. If finding the protector was as easy as this, why did he wait six years to ask? In season 1, the writers left us all in suspense as fans waited to see Kate's origin story. Inside was a little toy airplane, which belonged to Tom - her childhood best friend who died trying to help her escape. Considering how persistent Kate was to have it, the object mysteriously disappeared after this.
It also raised questions as to whether Kate tried to make amends with Tom's widow after she returned from the Island. Since she felt deep remorse for Tom's death, it seemed likely that she would. It's just another chapter of Kate's life unclosed. In the final episode of LOST, Christian revealed to Jack that the flash-sideways was a sort of purgatory for the survivors. They all created it with the purpose of moving on to the afterlife together, whilst also trying to get closure on some personal issues.
Some examples of this include Jack's with his father issues, Sawyer's over his shady past and Hurley over the numbers. Yet, Kate's story proved to be no different than her real one. The implication remains that she has killed someone and regrets doing it, which fans saw she did while on the Island. Kate doesn't even get her closure as Desmond forces her to remember. So what was the lesson Kate was meant to learn? In the season 4 finale, Sawyer jumped from the helicopter to ensure the Oceanic Six would be able to make it to the freighter.
Before he departed, Sawyer whispered a favor in Kate's ear, asking her to make sure Cassidy and his daughter were taken care of. This secret was the main reason Jack and Kate broke up in season 4 - but questions have to be raised here too?
Why did Kate become evasive about her whereabouts when Cassidy was a friend? How come it's taken three years to do this 'favor'? Did she intentionally bring up Sawyer as an excuse to sabotage the relationship because she was scared or because she was hiding a bigger secret? After Kate had killed Wayne and before the plane crash, the fugitive tried to stop running and settled down in Miami.
Here, she met Kevin, a police officer who she would go on to marry under the alias 'Monica'. Courtney86 said: Kate isn't a candidate but she is important because she has an influence over both Jack and Sawyer, who ARE candidates. I'm sure more will be revealed as to why she is important too.
