Whoa.
Just thought of something... maybe related, maybe not... just stick wit me on this,Damon Lindelof (creator / head writer of Lost) was hired by Marvel Comics to write a 6 issue mini-series for its "Ultimate Marvel Universe" titled "Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk". This series has never made it past issue 2, even though issue 1 was published more than 3 years ago. Its become a running joke with fans over the last few years. Since then, its been classified as "canceled" by Marvel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ult…
"Although in the previous 2002 miniseries The Ultimates (vol. 1), the Hulk had been said to have killed 800 people while on a rampage in New York, Lindelof gave the more exact figure in Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk #2 (April 2006) as 815. 815 is the flight number of the doomed Oceanic flight from which the castaways were stranded on the television series Lost (for which Damon Lindelof is the producer and head writer), and constitute three digits of the cursed "numbers" used as a recurring plot point on that show. This contradicts the number given in The Ultimates 2 where, in Banner's court trial, the number of casualties is given repeatedly as 852."
OK - back to my theory. In the 2 issues we learn that Bruce Banner (da' Hulk) is seeking answers to confront / expel his inner demons - so he travels to Tibet. Here we learn of the relationship between the Panchen Lama and the Dali Lama.
The Panchen Lama is born the greatest scholar of Buddhism. The Dali Lama is born the physical embodiment of Buddhism. When the Dali Lama dies (or his physical form dies) the Panchen Lama's job is to find the next Dali Lama. When the Dali Lama is resurrected, its his job to find the next Panchen Lama. They find each other until the end of time. Over and over again.
This certainly sounds a lot like Widmore (Dali) finding Richard (Panchen) finding Ben (Dali) finding Locke (Panchen).
What if Richard was supposed to find Locke instead of Ben. Ben may have been a choice of desperation or just incorrect all together. Richard met with Locke as a boy, and Richard missed the signs (John picked 2 out of 3 items - maybe the knife was the right "item" after all).
This would mean that Richard and "the Others" are following a false prophet in Ben. The only one that really matters in the grand scheme of things is Locke.
Forget Jack.
Forget Kate.
Forget Sawyer.All that matters is Locke. Actually, all that matters is control of the island. Locke is the true protector of the island. Ben was a stewart of something he was not entitled (spiritually) too. He is cunning and a liar by nature - like Satan getting the keys to the kingdom. He can only get back to the island if he brings Locke - the true protector.
He tried to kill Locke physically (shot him) and break him mentally / spiritually. He gave Locke the island with out telling him all its secrets. He knows that Locke is ill-equipped to manage the island. Just biding his time until he can return...
