Horace is a VIP in the Island story line, since he is the reason why Ben's father came to the Island with Ben. Horace and a woman who is apparently his second wife (the blond teacher showing the volcano experiment that I mentioned in an earlier post) are the couple who found Ben's mother and father in the woods and helped get them to a hospital just after Ben was born and his mother died giving birth to him.
Which now begs the question...How and why did Horace leave the Island? Probably via the submarine, but what was he doing with that second wife? How'd she come into the picture? What we saw last night took place during the 70's and Ben arrives on the Island...when? How old is Ben? He arrived when he was about 10-11-12, like that. When would that be?
Horace is also the "ghost" that John Locke ran into on the search for Jacob's cabin last year. Horace was chopping down trees, repeatedly, as his nose began to bleed while he was telling John (1) that he was making a getaway weekend home for him and his wife so they could enjoy time away from the Dharma Initiative, and (2) that he (Horace) was dead and had been for 12 years.
It's very interesting to note that Horace apparently had a child with a redheaded woman. Could that woman be Charlotte's mother? Daniel sees a little redheaded girl who is about 3 years old when they are first brought to the Dharma compound and he heartbreakingly realizes that it's Charlotte, but that was three years earlier than the birth scene, when the redheaded woman has a breech birth that Juliette successfully delivers. Soo..... mother/daughter?
So, remember Charlotte said that her mother left the Island....I bet she left Horace behind and then Horace went off and found a second wife, the blond woman.
Quote:And why is Paul so important for Richard and his guys that they want his body back?
I don't know if they want his body BACK. They simply want his body, which they may or may not have known or "had" earlier.
Quote:And who exactly are Richard and his people? They cut themselves off from the Dharma Initiative?
They are the original OTHERS, they were never part of the Dharma Initiative. They were on the Island long before Dharma. Remember, Richard was there during the "jughead" episode where the hydrogen bomb hangs leaking and has to be buried. That took place in the early '50s. Dharma didn't get to the Island till the mid-to-late '60's.
Richard dates back to who knows when. I think he comes from ancient times, perhaps ancient Egypt, which we may see in the next few episodes.
