Is Richard Alpert also the MIB? (or vice-versa)?
Has MIB been marginalized by Jacob somehow for a very long time and the only form he can take (or partially take) is Alpert? Does it make sense to think that MIB is governed by a set of rules that restricts what he can and cannot do, and also that he is a being different from the rest of the people and entities on the Island? Sounds like Alpert to me!

You could be on to something here. He was able to march right into dharmaville without a care in the world.
I guess we can exclude the possibility that both Richard and Locke are MIB?
i think Richard is a powerless chess piece, and a middleman between M.I.B and Jacob who has to just follow orders and play ‘the game’.
