An incredible episode, that has people talking about the show once again. Were any of you reminded of the movie "Psycho" in that whole scene with Ben and an invisible Jacob? When "Jacob" said "help me" to Locke it reminded me of Tony Perkins pretending to be his long dead mother. Of course, Jacob might be real after all and the internet already has pictures of him (see for example: Wikipedia; key words: Lost, the others) . There's speculation that Jacob is sort of like a Biblical character, perhaps a messiah of some sort.
Also, if those people in the pit really are the Dharma group who were gassed to death by the Others, then it really does make Ben and the Others mass murderers, which I believe makes a direct reference to the Holocaust. Very disturbing stuff.

I say "no" and "no" to both. Yet I do like how your looking into the hidden meanings of the show. It is very interesting.

It reminded me of pictures of Jonestown from 1978, seeing all the Dharma personnel laid-out like that on the grounds of the barracks.

I think trying to link LOST to the holocaust is an action due to boredom. Come on!
