Ahhhh, yeah, that's right. Good catch. Boy, I wonder if they expect us to figure all this out on our own or what
Looking back more and more things are making sense. And if anything, it is seeming less afterlifeish since I'm not sure any dead people were really up and walking. I wonder then if Jacob was even real when he talked to Hurley as a "ghost" or if that was really MIB? They did show MIB way back at the foot/statute but he moves fast...
naw that was probably jacob as Hurley has talked to dead people off island (meaning, apparently Hurley really can see dead people) and MIB has said he can't leave the island. So I guess some people have come back as genuine ghosts.
So I wonder if MIB had claimed the french woman (name escaping me, she died, Roseau?.) They are kind of implying its the same "sickness." And if he did, then that puts a whole new suspicion on her earlier motives in the earlier seasons when she was helping some of them. Now if only I could remember what her agenda was like...it might shed even more light on MIBs machinations.
In fact, nearly everyone that went crazy with the "sickness" or whatever (remember that guy from the previous hatch before desmond?) may have been steered by MIB.
