    I can't help but think that there is some significance to the fact that Flocke is always extending his hand and offering to help to pick others up off the ground! Some people accept this and take his hand - like Desmond in the last episode - and others dont accept - I think Kate and Sawyer both refused his help.

    has anybody else noticed that this seems to be significant in some way?

    It's a classic depiction of temptation. The evil-one offers the hero the world, if he will just abandon his mission and go with him.

    MIB with Kate (among others):

    I expect we will see a similar scene between Jack and MIB in this week's episode.

    I think just symbolically.
    But it reminds me of when John Locke asked for Christian's help in getting up but Christian said it was something Locke must do himself. This would tie in with Jacob's outlook of free will.

    Just noticed the face on the ref/linesman there, lol :D.

    I was thinking that Lockes offer of his hand might have been similar to the way that Jacob 'touched' people to pass on his gift. But there is certainly some significance to it whatever way it turns out.
