It is really getting down to the last few if Sayid and Juiet died. That leaves out of the original plane crash people Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Jin and Sun, and lets face it Jin's barely a fringe character anymore, the only reason he seems even remotely involved is he's Sun's husband and part of the storyline is them finding each other. LOL maybe they'll have some dramatic reunion and then get killed off.

Out of the freighter people its just Miles.

Out of the others its just Ben, Alpert and a bunch of people that don't count.

And now there's those new people.

I wonder if maybe Alpert wanted Jacob to die? Or he just had to follow Locke's orders. I'm still a bit confused about his position among the others. He was the leader apparently in 1954, then something happened and Whidmore/Ellie became leaders and then Ben while he was an advisor. Does he have to do what the leaders because it seems like that with Ben but not so much with the other ones because of the episode where little Ben was shot and he says something about how he doesn't answer to Whidmore.

Maybe he just follows Locke's orders because he thinks he's come back to life.

One thing that hasn't quite sunk in yet out of all the shit that happened is that Locke is actually dead. You could say he was the main character in a way.
Richard made some deal with Jacob, which i think has to do with him not aging.. so i doubt richard wanted Jacob to die. Richard thought that Locke was Locke and not someone who was going to kill Jacob, right? Unless Ben told Richard on the way to see Jacob.. Richard was shocked to see Locke fall out of the box at the end of the season, so he did not know, even if he did know that Locke was trying to kill Jacob, that Locke was not Locke.
