Kate gave him to Claire's mother before going back to the island if I remember correctly.
I mistyped that. What I meant to say was that the fact that Kate wasn't "uncrossed" (I there drew the conclusion that not shown as uncrossed = crossed) could point to the crossing of people not having to do with their dead/alive status, because Kate is still alive.. But then again, maybe Kate's name wasn't on the wall at all.
Does that make sense? I've tried typing that three times now and can't make it more comprehensible than this.
My initial post was supposed to say "It would seem to suggest that the candidates aren't crossed out as they die, because Kate is crossed out."

Is it??
Which part are you referring to?
Nope, it isn't. My initial assumption was that the names on the wall all belonged to the Oceanic survivors, so as Kate wasn't shown as uncrossed I assumed she was crossed and therefore the crossing of people didn't have to do with dead/alive status at all.
This has since been proven to be wrong though, she probably isn't on the wall at all and the crossing of a name is depending only on dead/alive status. But that doesn't explain how Littleton is crossed out, because Claire is alive as well as Aaron (as long as it's not Jacob who's taken over the Claire we saw, the one who seems like she's the new Rousseau.

But wouldn't we have been shown that then as they showed all the ones that weren't crossed out?maybe her name's # is the sum of the six numbers ie 108
Same guy or another Doors fanatic?
I just had a thought
Why has Ben been course-corrected into the alternate reality? He would have been on the island at the time of the explosion
It would suggest that it wasn't the explosion that caused the island to sink, and basically anybody we thought was dead (eg. Widmore, Eloise, even Richard) may still be alive and well. Loved Ben as the teacher though, perfect for him.
What a quality episode. Cannot wait to find out what happens.
The opening scene with the first person view as Smokey was brilliant, had me giggleing to myself with excitement and "Oh my god this is so awesome" going round and round in my head 
If that is the case then it was pretty contrived of the creators to show Jacob's flashbacks at the same time and have Flocke go on about Jacob touching each of them at some point in their life.me too
although now i think that jacob never wrote those names and that cave isn't jacob's so called office either.
I think the way Smokey seemed positive Jacob and Sawyer had met, despite not knowing it as fact, and last week's reference to Jin as "maybe one of them" (possibly meaning the Others know the name Kwon, as Smokey does, but nothing more) would suggest to me that what we've been told about Jacob writing the names to be completely true.
The purpose of him writing the names however, we only have Smokey's word on that one.

Good episode
The bird from Jacobs bodyguards looks very similar to Ana Lucia

Just watched it.
And what a quality episode it was, classic Lost, had a bit of everything.
I was disappointed with Lost for the first time ever before tonight, I was underwhelmed by LA X and thought What Kate Does was the worst episode since stranger in a strange land. I still don't love the off island timeline, at the minute it seems a bit irrelevant to the previous five seasons, but tonight it held my attention much more and there was someone brilliant moments it in - finally Locke got told what he couldn't do.
The on island stuff was simply immense, really has set it up for a cracking final season, Darlton I will never doubt you again.
BTW where are the non temple others, I thought at the end of LA X they were following MIB.

I'm not sure how much time passed between the last time we saw young Ben in season 5 (in Widmore's tent?) and the evacuation of the island but it might be possible that he was returned to Dharma in that period, so was just evacuated off with Ethan and the rest of them.
What are the odds that Ben and Annie are married in this timeline.

Aha! That would be brilliant.
Yeah, strange that.
He wasn't but he did meet him in the 70's. Also I don't get how he 'saw them die' when he was probably in the middle of taking Eloise back to their camp at the time of the explosion.
I think he must have just seen the explosion and assumed they died.
That crab/spider on Lockes neck must be a hint towards something. If it was a medusa spider then it must mean he's going to come back to life but most people seem to think it was a beach crab
Hmm. I just assumed it was their way of showing the body's rotting up and needs dealing with.
It was a beach crab and he's dead and buried.
I love how lost fans over analyze everything
If theres one thing we know how to do, it's over analyzing...a bit like us brits and queing.
Thinly veiled attempt at saying "I read future spoilers".
This episode gave the show is finally starting to pack up feeling.
So do we assume that?
Thats what I'm assuming now anyway...or something like that
Lock needs one of the Candidates to take the job and be anointed Jacob's successor, so that he can leave the island with them - Because both have to leave together or not at all, hence why he was so desperate to kill him - and thats why he's trying to take Sawyer under his wing?...
Thats what I'm assuming now anyway...or something like that
Aye, I also think that thats what the whole loophole thing was about, not so much it being about killing Jacob but the loophole that enables him to get home
I don't think Locke is looking for a candidate to take the job because he clearly stated that the job is pretty useless, because there is no need to save the island. He clearly wants to get home. Why he can't leave is the question. Also what was the loophole to kill Jacob?
You dont need the tags guys, it's aired in the UK.
Good point...
Yes, but since Jacob didn't want to, he had to kill him.
Because the island won't let it's dark and light sides leave, unless they both do...or something like that. Hence why he needs Sawyer, cos sawyer was one of the candidates...He couldn't let Locke become the candidate because Locke didn't want to ever leave either, so smokey had to manipulate his killing too

Agree I think MIB wanted to take Richard to the cave and had to settle for Sawyer, and Richard as far we know isn't a candidate.
The loophole was that by using Locke's body MIB could manipulated Ben into killing Jacob, because he seems MIB wasn't able to. But did MIB actually kill Jacob, Ben stabbed him but it was MIB who kicked him into the fire, and he wasn't dead at that point was he? So maybe he has broken the rules already.
Didn't someone mention once that Jack wasn't on Jacob's list?
Yeah Pickett said it in Season 3
I also had one but all I remember is that the next episode was really boring.
FFS just use spoiler tags. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what your saying based on your dream.
Use spoiler tags, they are there for a reason. Just blanking out one word is pretty fecking stupid.
You have a tendency to spoil things.
