MIB didn't need Richard to lead him to Jacob. Jacob told MIB in 'The Incident' that he would be waiting there for him. MIB obviously needs Richard for something else and that's why he needed him to come with him. He also took Locke's form so that he could get Ben to kill Jacob. -Benhamine The only reason MIB had to make himself the leader of the others was so that Richard would follow Mock Locke to Jacob.

I believe that young Locke was supposed to choose the Book of Law, as stated by ekolocation. The fact that Locke chooses the knife, accompanied with his ability to draw the 'smoke monster', is indicative of an affinity to the 'smoke monster' from a young age. This implies to me, that Nemesis' moves on John Locke had begun a long time ago and lends credence to the statement Nemesis makes to Jacob in the Temple. "You don't know what I've had to go through to be here". I also believe that Ben has been manipulated by both opposing forces from the very beginning. That makes me wonder, as to who is actually using who, and on what grander scale. Great thoughts!

But as sarajs16 notes, Rose was also cured. and Locke never picked the compass or sand (which may well be the ash which protects from the monster) he picked the knife. he picked a weapon, and its a knife that killed Jacob. He does indeed draw smokey, so he mite be special, but not necessarily a good special.

Which made Richard upset with Locke. I think Locke is special to the island, just as much as all of the other characters. Rose was cured of cancer, let's not forget that. Should Rose be leader then? ekolocation- If you remember, Locke didn’t pick the compass and the sand, he picked the knife. Which made Richard upset with Locke.
