3x20 - "The Man Behind the Curtain" Present

Locke and Ben

1. Today is Benjamin's birthday, and has just now found out about the missing tape recorder. On it are instructions for the Medical Hatch.

2. Okay, it's official, the mysterious Jacob is the leader of the Others.

3. Jacob only talks to Benjamin? Reminds me a lot of this:

4. Why doesn't anyone stop Locke from beating the crap out of Mikhail? Why is Alex giving Locke a gun for that matter? Looks like Ben's losing his authority.

5. The good people at Lostpedia have a screen grab of Jacob's silhouette so there is definately someone else in that cabin. Why couldn't Locke see him? Could it have something to do with the fact that he didn't kill his father?



6. Assuming that Jacob is real, why doesn't he like technology? That whole place shook when Locke turned on the flashlight. Why did he ask Locke for help? Does Ben have some sort of hold over Jacob?

7. Is John Locke dead? I'd be willing to believe that the Island would heal him, but Ana-Lucia died of a single gunshot wound to the chest as well.

On the Beach

1. What made Juliet tell Jack about here mission? Is this part of Ben's plan?

2. Ben told Juliet to mark the tents of anyone who's pregnant? That sounds like the story of Passover with the Hebrews marking their houses in blood so the Angel Of Death won't kill their firstborn sons.

3. Jack's answer is simply that he was deciding what to do? That's convient. If he wasn't aware of this impending raid by the Others until just now, he should have made a point to inform the camp immediately!
