Who is Libby? Is is a character that has not been introduced yet?
...

Apparently so. I would have rather that been labeled as a spoiler by the original poster. :\

Don't think I would call her a spoiler, Libby is better than blonde woman in background - We know Jack makes a connection but but when or how, he could have seen the picture and wondered how a guy who was in a ship wreak had time to grab a personal item.

How about this (just trying it on for size):

What if Locke's dad hired Helen (whose day job is phone sex worker) to get him to stop going and hanging out in front of his house? The relationship falls apart when he finds out about the connection (or when she breaks it off). But she feels sorry for him and he still feels something for her, and maintaining a phone sex "relationship" with her is just about the highest level of intamacy he can manage anyway.

Seems like an awfully convoluted solution for little real benefit. I don't think Locke's dad cares that much to invest into a 6+ month master plan to stop his son from parking outside his door daily. Especially when you consider that he met her before his father confronted him, and that there was no guarantee that he could be made to leave, regardless. After all, if taking his kidney caused this to happen, what would he do if his father had his heart ripped out?

I'm siding with the idea that he loses Helen in the car crash that cripples him, and the Helen on the phone he speaks with is actually just someone he fixates on later, as his life is collapsing in upon itself. Locke, like Jack, has a pretty interesting and somewhat complicated story.

Bet the big black guy is Rose's husband and when he learn she is alive will help the three back to the others...
.

maybe, but I think he's actually the Nigerian character being added to the cast this year (TV Guide had an article about it a couple of weeks ago). He probably has something to do with the crashed plane full of drugs...

I'll spoiler the following info just incase. I do appologize for not doing it in the earlier post.

Spoiler

Libby was the woman in the photograph that Desmond had with him.

My various Lost theorizings.

I would agree that the folks around the pit are from the tailsection of the plane. That's where Anna Maria was (in seat 42F iirc). So it seems like a logical conclusion.

Jun speaking english I would imagine is from a dream or vision.

The Dharma Initiative was all about genetic engineering, skinnerian psychology, social dynamics studies and apparently paraphenomenon studies. This would explain a lot of things: The Other's intrest in Walt (and his 'psychic twinkle'), the sharks and bears, and the bringing of various groups to the island (Danielle's group, the flight *15 crowd and probably more).

The hatch seems like TOTAL Skinner conditioning to me. You have an imagined threat (the big magnet behind the spooky sealed door) the countdown that produces an alarm that requires a reaction. It really seems to me the sole design of the test is to see how long someone would be willing to put up with it before they gave up. I side with Jack on this one, I imagine that if they failed to enter the numbers, there would be some scary beeping then absolutely nothing would happen, or perhaps some sort of automated announcement like, "This phase of testing complete".

I think we will see Desmond again fairly soon.

I don't think the Helen on Locke's phone in the S1 flasback is the Katy Segal Helen. I was under the impression that the Helen Locke was talking to on the phone was someone he dealt with via his job in some capacity.

I'm going to rewatch the episode on high def to see if I can get a better look at the picture Desmond had.

You know, Locke talks about Jack not having faith and all, but I think that it's a really big leap of faith to assume it means nothing. I would have liked to see Jack not push it.

Some of you may know this already, and while it has nothing to do with the connection of people in Lost, it has a connection to 2 actors in Lost... Both Michael (played by Harold Perrineau Jr.) and the "Nigerian" dude that people keep referring to (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) were both in the HBO series "Oz". They were both main characters.

Also, now that I take a good look at it, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje looks a LOT like the big black dude that threw them in the pit.

I remember him being a lot less buff on "Oz"

That's probably because that's who it was.
