"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Someone is going to have to explain Jacob's logic to me.
So he brings people to the island so the Man in Black can know that all human beings aren't evil. But the MIB kills about a good number of the people who arrive on the island anyway, so how is it the human beings have choice?
What does Jacob have to prove to the MIB anyway?
Isn't it more honest to say that Jacob is bringing people to the island so that there will always be a replacement for Jacob and that Jacob is the MIB's jailer?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Jacob makes me think of God fucking with and ruining Job's life all because of a bet he had with the devil.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
It was interesting that the MiB told Richard the exact same thing about killing "the devil" (Jacob) -- use this dagger, don't let him say anything, if he speaks to you it's already too late -- that Dogan told Sayid about killing MiB-in-Locke.
I still don't think that the MiB is necessarily "bad," and I definitely don't think that Jacob is "good."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yep, I noticed that.
And I'm with you on the "Er, this is kinda boring, and we sure are spending a lot of time on it..." feeling. But for the story they intended to tell in this episode, it worked. I just thought we would get more of an expanded timeline in a Richard episode.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm disappointed that Richard isn't older, like back to the 1670s. The Black Rock looks like it should be an older ship.
Also, WHY was Richard bought into slavery by Hanso? Why was it important for him to know English?

Our wings are not tired.
Why was it important for him to know English?
So we wouldn't have to read subtitles.
I enjoyed it, but was disappointed. I fear several more episodes of adding more characters leading toward a finale that doesn't satisfy. They couldn't even come up with a promo for next week that tempted.
That said, I'm watching and will continue till the end.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I hope we get some explanation regarding how someone can get from Africa (Eko's brother) or the coast of Africa (Richard) and end up on the Island which is in the Pacific.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
People in TV and film can always take their necklaces off so much more easily than I can.
That is exactly what I thought right then!
the Island which is in the Pacific
The Island is always moving, though, right? Whatshername in LA has to consult the magic pendulum to know where it's going to be at any given time, sometimes it's bound to be in the Atlantic. That's been my reasoning, anyway.
That was not the Richard story I was wanting. It was fine for what it was, I guess, but why he chose to become Jacob's immortal servant is not really the question I wanted answered.
