My theory is that the island at one point was paradise and the inhabitants enjoyed this communion with the powerful island. The Darma initiative - which has gone by several names throughout history - tries to exploit the powers of the island for their own gain.
The island tries to defend itself with the black smoke and by communicating to "others" asking them to stop the greedy people from exploiting the island.
Richard and Jacob crashed on the black rock ship.
Some how they gained some kind of long life but Jacob sort of became one with the island and Richard took over as an interim leader until 1956.
He left the island to find Locke and left Widmore in charge.
Richard tried to recruit Locke for several years
Richard returns in the 70s and meet Ben
Ben can see things so Richard thinks Ben may be special
Ben lies and says that he can talk to Jacob
Ben lies again and says that Jacob wants charles exhiled. Why? Cuz Ben wants to purge the island of dharma. By doing this he becomes the only one who has knowledge of dharma and the losties.
Charles has been peacefully leading the losties and working with dharma so he thinks this is crazy.
that's why ben needs to get rid of him.
charles has been working with dharma trying to get back.
ben wants to keep them away cuz he(Ben) stole the island
enter locke in 04
he's not the leader but there has been buzz around him for 50 years
the island works with him cuz the island needs help breaking free of these two power hungry guys
so who is jacob? according to the producers, he has to be someone that we've already seen.
he looks like a young charles widmore
jack is playing the leader in 1977 and jack sounds like jacob
i think Ben, Locke and Ellie are ruled out so i think he's planning to "kill" jack or widmore
i thought jacob was faraday but now he's dead and jack seems to have all the info that faraday had (the journal)
