    I still think it's the eternal struggle between the forces of 'Good' and 'Evil' - the two dudes sitting on the beach (one dressed in white, who was Jacob at the time, and the other one was dressed in black - who I think is in Locke's form now).

    Everyone else on the island are pawns, or instruments, in that eternal struggle. Since they (Good and Evil) can take on any form, (smoke monster, polar bear, ... or any dead 'vessel' - i.e. Locke, Christian, etc.) and they can't directly kill or eliminate the other one, they have to find "loopholes" and formulate scenarios where they meet their demise through other means.

    My 2 cents.
    I've thought this for a while now, and so far it seems to still hold water.

    • I felt like the "rules" and loopholes also came up in conversations between Ben and Whitmore.Brand0
    • Agreed. But I think it's more Good vs. Bad and that Evil is just how Bad is manifested through humanity. Nietzsche and all that.duckofrubber
    • Well this would explain a lot of the show. But last night's 'parallel lives' for SOME characters has confused me.'ghandolf
