Remember that?
"Nice talking to you, Jacob."
"Nice talking to you, too."
Ah, what a nice piece of deception. They're hiding Jacob's Friend's name from us. At least that's what we assume, something not very smart when watching LOST.
What if Jacob didn't say his name not because we're not supposed to know it yet, but because he simply said it before Jacob needed to? What if both of them are "Jacob"? It's not that hard to imagine. The very idea of "Jacob" that has been pulled for us since "The Man Behind the Curtain" is very supernatural, at least enough to something like that.
Holding this thought carefully, think abou that brilliant ending to a brilliant piece of dialogue:
"Nice talking to you, Jacob."
"Nice talking to you, too."
If Jacob's Friend really has this astouning ability to inhabit dead bodies and retain all memories within them, why not consider that Richard Alpert is, in fact, him? "But he was Locke in that moment", you say. To answer this question, another theory that I read (probably the one under this one) makes a hell of a good job. I recomend that your read it, in fact.
So, what does that imply? Really hard to say at this point, indeed. Maybe they are the same person, but duplicated via time travel (like Miles), maybe they represent the duality of human being existing physically, struggling physically with each other.
Could be.
