So here we are how many seasons in and we still don't understand why
the "Others" were so motivated and loyal to their cause, or what they
were doing. We don't understand who Richard is. We don't understand
who Jacob is. We don't understand why Charles Widmore claims it is his
island. We don't understand who Dharma was or what they were doing or
what happened to DeGroot or Hanso. We don't understand who Ben and
Sayid are working to kill after leaving the island.
