The episode started with Jack, Hurley, Lepidus, Miles, and Sun, sitting around a camp fire as Alanah explained to them that Richard was supposed to tell them what to do next. Richard just laughed and exclaimed to the group, “This place isn’t what you think it is?” He then went on to make the world’s collective jaws drop as he explained that the losties and himself were all dead and the island they are all on is really hell (Island not actually hell and losties not actually dead). Richard then went on to state that everything Jacob had told him was wrong and then went off into the jungle to find Locke.
Lost is so good at not only the amount of detail they put into each episode, but the amount of accuarate detail they use. I always say that Lost has to to have a history professor, physics professor, and theology professor on staff to keep all of these details that accurate and tonights episode was no different. After Jacob talks to Richard and Richard goes back to the man in black, he hands him a small white stone and tells him Jacon wanted him to have this. Now this is something that most people probably will not grasp, but its very cool if you do. In the bible, God says that when you get to heaven you are given a white stone on which your new name is written. So the significance is basically Jacob telling the man in black that Richard is my guy not yours, and it’s why Jacob calls him Ricardus instead of Richard, its becuase Ricardus is the new name he has been given. I thought that was a very cool detail, maybe you appreciate it maybe not, but I thought I elaborate on the significance.
