Dynamite got its patent in 1867

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_black_rock Clearly, there were "slaves" on board The Black Rock. No doubt. But slave trade had been outlawed in 1807, and slaverly itself abolished by the British Empire in 1833. So TBR wasn't officially a "slave" ship. It was trade ship that opporated in human trafficing. It was all very black market and underground. Which may have some relevance as to Richard's background. We may not be dealing with exclusively African slave trade. That's all. But there were definately slaves onboard. Absolutely. Sort of splitting hairs. Sorry. |

That probably throws out the idea that Richard is black. Maybe he was a slave of Tovard Hanso? |

The guyliner and his name would appear to give some insight into where R.A. comes from. JMO

Or maybe he IS Hanso. MIB mentioned Richard in chains, but they could have been figurative chains, or a reference to something that happened to him after he got to the island.
Do we know if Hanso was on the ship when it disappeared? Or did he just own it? |

I don't think Ben had ever seen Jacob, either. But that doesn't mean that he wasn't "touched" by him.
Has it been confirmed that his name was on the Wheel of Candidates? I haven't had a chance to go back and look today. |

Im a huge LOST fan, and it's just now starting to bug me. I am actually ready for this show to end.
Usually great shows I want to go on forever, but this is just DRAGGGGGING. |

Their are two sets of "names and numbers" The lighthouse and the cave One is for Jacob the other the cave is for MIB MIB told Sawyer yhat is was Jacobs but I think its MIBs You agree? The reason why I dont think Ben is a canidate nor touched is he overthrew Widmore He wasnt chosen He got cancer which surprised people I think that Jacks last name I think Widmore knows alot more then Ben about the island I also believe Widmore is working for MIB and Hawking is for Jacob. Remember when Bram told Miles that Widmore was on the wrong team Also I think that Locke was used as a pawn by Widmore to find the island The smoke monster was Christians form I believe I also believe that when Locke went into the cabin and met Christian as well as seeing Claire It was MIBs plan to move the island so Widmore could find it I think that Jacks last name is very important as well Shepard I think that Locke is either related to Widmore or Jack These are just theories There is so much more to this as well

I liked the last episode a lot. I definitely liked the point that the island is what turned Ben bad.
Of all the things to nitpick with this show, I know this is really minor (considering people are traveling in time and all), but a student just showing up at a teacher's house unannounced to ask why the teacher wasn't at an after-school event is pretty absurd, even for an overachiever like Alex. I was happy to see that the douchey professor from Real Genius is still able to nail these douche roles in school settings -- this time as the principal.
