Deconstructing Lost's season finale: Does Jesus Christ run the island?

Besides being a little freaked to find the guy who played an abusive ex-husband on Dexter now playing the mysterious figure who runs Lost's island, Jacob, I had a few thoughts about Wednesday's appropriately mind-bending, two-hour Season Five finale, "The Incident."

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

--Somehow, dark-shirted Titus Welliver -- who popped up in the episode's opening moments as a politely murderous foil to Jacob -- morphed into John Locke to manipulate Ben into killing Jacob.

--Vowing to find a "loophole" allowing him to kill Jacob, Welliver's character must somehow be prevented from killing Jacob himself. Thus the manipulation of Ben, until now the show's best manipulator. Ironies abound.
