How can "the Others" heal?
Nov. 21st, 2011 01:29 pmSo, back to the Others @ the Temple. In late 2004, they've retreated to the Temple, where they are safe from Widmore's thugs. Those at the Barracks are killed.
They live either at the Temple, or at the old Pala camp, or perhaps in the forest, until the return of the Ajira 316 people.
Note that in this time Richard is with them - *but Ben is not.* Ben is living in our world, playing games with Widmore, getting Sayid to kill people for him, etc.
It's when they return to their roots that their healing begins: their recovery from the twin cults of Jacob and Ben. They may seem "cultlike" under Dogen, but it's under Dogen's leadership that they can combat their principal adversaries: Samael and his amanuensis, Claire, who is picking them off whenever she gets a chance.
