Lost - What are your episode specific theories for "The Lighthouse"?

Question

Questions arising from this episode or recent multiple episodes:

1. Who is David's Mom?
2. Who is Jacob waiting on?
3. Where was Sawyer when MIB showed up at Claire's tent?
4. Why was Kate not one of the original "numbers"?
5. Who else will be recruited to MIB's team?
6. What's more powerful, a candidate's free will or predestination?

My answers, guesses, theories:
1. Eloise Hawking (don't give me your gross responses...it only makes sense because of the piano symbol).  Picks 2, 3 & 4 would be Theresa, Juliet,  or Sarah his exwife from original timeline.
2. The only one who has not made it back to the island but is supposed to be, Desmond.  By the way the name at the bearing of 108 in the lighthouse shows a crossed out name of Wallace, a name of Welsh/Scottish decent which could be further proof of Desmond.
3. My guess, MIB has already killed him so that he may transform him into what Claire and Christian are and what Sayid is to become.
4.  Kate does indeed have a number.  An eagle eye view shows an uncrossed name of Austen at number 51.  But it still remains that she is not one of the original numbers that are so famous in Lost.  I don't have any ideas on that one, but because she is not crossed out, she is indeed a candidate.
5.  My guess is Kate, Sawyer & Sayid to go along with Claire and Christian at this point.  I might even venture to say Jack if things go toward the way of my overall theory.  No way Hurley joins MIB.  Not sure about Jin and Sun.  You'd like to say Jin, but he won't say he wants off the island until he finds Sun.  He won't pick a side until then.
6.  Free will is stronger as is being led to believe by the choices the candidates are making now.  Predestination has gotten them so far, but each person ultimately makes his or her final decisions.

Some bonus info for you. Among notable crossed out names on lighthouse and cave numbers:

33-Martin “Karl”
55-Burke “Juliet”
90-Troupe “Gary” Cindy's husband
101&761-Faraday “Daniel”
108-Wallace ???  did it mean nothing?
109-Friendly “Tom”
111-Klein….tell Rachel she cannot be the next Jacob
117-Linus “Ben”
147-Lewis “Charlotte”
171-Straume “Miles”
195-Pace “Charlie”
301-Mars “Edward” the US Marshal

1. I doubt it, Jack had talents as a kid too, his dad just don't recognize them, and if David only sees jack once a month, wouldn't he have an accent if Eloise was his Mom? My guess is Libby. Sarah's too obvious, Theresa is all the way in England, and Juliet was already married before the island and I don't want it to be her because I support Suliet. 

2.Wallace could mean Walter, though you have a good point. 

3. I think he's just waiting around for him to come back. Remember the kid (that knew who MIB was and wasn't afraid of him,) said he couldn't kill Sawyer. My guess is Smokey will attack The Temple with Claire and Sawyer (who doesn't care about anyone still alive really), and and also to retrieve Sayid,while Richard, Ileana, Lennon and Dogen (maybe even Ben too) trying to stop them, while Sun is trying to get to Jin who has no control over where goes because of his foot.

4. Yeah, and on the Lighthouse their was also  Montland, Rousseau and I think Littleton and/or Strame, all crossed out (Jarrah was there and wasn't). He must have looked at dozens of people, but crossed them out because they either died or ended their candiacy somehow. 

5.I still think Christian was the Smoke Monster. Claire was odd but not wild like she is now when we saw her with her Dad in Season 4. I bet Smokey minipulated her and let her go off alone as Christian  after saying stuff like the Others have Aaron, everyone else left the island and such, then when the infection he gave her as her father spread, she got caught and tortured by the Others while trying to get Aaron, and then she escaped hating them. Then Smokey came to her as someone besides Christian (maybe even his MIB form) and became her friend, and taught her how to shoot and set traps, and move around avoiding the Others. Her branding by the Others has healed over, that was a while ago it looks like, so he would have had time. 

And remember when Ben tried to summon Smokey in Season 5, Flocke disappeared for a while, maybe this was to find Claire again and say "Hey, it's me I look like John now, I'll see you in a bit."

6. Nice though! I wonder who (if anyone) will be the next Jacob!

1. Who is David's Mom? 
2. Who is Jacob waiting on?
3. Where was Sawyer when MIB showed up at Claire's tent?
4. Why was Kate not one of the original "numbers"?
5. Who else will be recruited to MIB's team?
6. What's more powerful, a candidate's free will or predestination?

1- it could be Kate or Juliet. Think about when Jack saw her from afar at the airport. He looked like he might recognize her as she drove off in the cab. 
2- I think it could be Desmond, as 108 is the # of minutes he had to wait to push the button. It could just be symbolic though and he isnt waiting on anyone. The sum of the Lottery #'s is 108
3- hmm I forgot about Sawyer

Its me again · Answer

I love Lost but this is my guess. We dont know who 108 Wallace is. But here is what I think. Hurley's crazy lottery numbers and the number he liked to recite were, 4 8 15 16 23 42, which adds up to be 108. And Desmond last name is Hume so it cant be him. Also, In the previous season, they used to type on the computer in the Hatch every 108 minutes. I do have to mention that in buddhist numerology 108 is a dharmic significance as in dharma initiative. My guess is either the Charles Whitmore (penelope's father) or someone from the very first dharma initiative is coming back because Juliet said "it worked" when she died. I did read an the article that Shannon is coming back in this season.

Well the newbies have a boat which the helicopter took off from and I took it as he had a spy working on the boat. A bit like when he sent Juliet to stay with the lost people and she went back and left him information. Ben always has his nose into everything.

Love your theories.

To answer question 1, I think it's Juliet, because the kids eyes are bright blue (like Juliet) and she's a doctor too. They could of met in med school or something.
