When Richard visited Locke at his birth in cabin fever, before we knew that they travelled through time
I thought Richard was looking for a boy, born 2 months too early who had a mother named Emily and
that he went to see Locke at birth and when he was 6. But Locke chose the wrong items, so Richard went for Ben
to discover 40 years later that he made a mistake and John was the one he needed.
I dropped that thought when later they began timetravelling and we discovered that Richard was at John's birth,
because John visited him in 1954 and made Richard think that he was special, but he was not special, he was
"just" travelling through time.
But now we know that Locke was send to 1954 by MIB to con Richard into believing that Locke was special and
knew Jacob so that Richard would bring him (or who he thought was him) to Jacob 50 years later.
Maybe it is a prophecy.
Which is why Richard was suspect of Locke the whole time.
I still think that Richard knows the most and will reveal the most as to what is going on.
Ab Aeterno!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9egLvSEL_EMshe seems to recognize him and he knows it.

Locke's smokey drawing too!
The comic of hidden land! (the island)
Richard seemed pretty upset about Locke choosing the knife...
Such a great scene!
Also, Locke is playing backgammon and Richard notes it, that has been a theme all along since season 1 ,dark and light, 2 sides, Jacob and MIB! There is a scene (in season 1) with Locke explaining the game to Walt:

I miss Walt, I hope he comes back to play a role, but I don't think so. He and Locke have such a good relationship. It could make sense.
