Why does Hurley know the way to Jacob??? What does he have to do with it? It was very cool that Sawyer...the guy who cares only about himself and rides Hurley more than anyone...threatened Locke if he hurt one curly hair on his head. The interactions and characterizations on this show is what make is so great!

Did anyone notice the entrance to the catacombs (or whatever) before Ben released Smokey? Keystone bricks and a rock wall. The architecture was very medieval to my eyes and suggests Smokey has been there a looooong time.

Finally, the dialogue between Ben and Widmore seemed almost biblical. I couldn't help but think it was more a conversation between good and evil instead of two men. If anyone saw Constantine, it was very much the same vibe. "The Rules" seem to imply some kind of realm or consciousness beyond ours. Interesting...
We're not really sure yet what Hurley has to do with Jacob. But he did see Jacob's cabin and Jack's dad in the cabin in Jacob's rocking chair. In a previous episode (maybe the same on he saw the cabin in) he commented to Locke that it was "that way". Ben overheard him and you definately saw a look of shock on Ben's face. Maybe Jacob has something to do with the numbers.

I did notice the entrance that Ben went into. And how dirty he was when he came out. Almost like he'd been rolling in ashes?!
