LOST Revisited: 6-7 “Dr. Linus”

Hurley pumps Richard for information as to why he looks the same as he did in 1977. In true Hurley fashion, his main theories are that Richard is either a time traveler, a cyborg, or a vampire. Richard simply says that “Jacob gave me a gift”. He leads Jack and Hurley to the Black Rock and tells them that everybody at the Temple is dead. And Richard, for his part, is disillusioned with Jacob and just wants to die.
