the man that appeared in the chair while ben and locke were at the cabin and it got all crazy and said help me was just a place holder persona.
damon and carlton said so on the podcast. it was before they had that particular story's endgame done.

When I saw this, I thought he meant help me get rid of Benjamin.

It's obvious this was the case. Anyone looking for answers to the mystery of the cabin is wasting their time. It is a plothole. There is no other answer.

For some reason, people think that LOST's plot was all perfectly thought out and try to anaylise missing peices, but it was clearly not. They just made up mysteries as they went along and none of the answers even needed to make sense as it turned out.

Yes, well. We never really got an answer of how the Others brainwashed people like Cindy, Zach and Emma to join them.

[Infinite-Possibilities]

We never even got an explanation for why the Others even did any of the things they did. If they were working for Jacob, why did their agenda completely fail to match up to his? Why did their supposed leader not understand who his nemesis was? Their actual relationship to him was also retconed as the show went on anyway. In Season 5/6 it was revealed that Ben never had any contact with Jacob yet earlier on he seems to be able to speak on his behalf when he promised to fix Juliet's sister.

It's possible that Richard told Ben that Jacob had agreed to fix Juliet's sister. But I'm also very confused about their weird rituals, especially "Stranger In A Strange Land".

I don't see it as a plot hole, the island can disappear, move through space and time. So why can't the cabin do the same thing?

Ben lied constantly, he simply lied to Juliet.

[Infinite-Possibilities]

But Juliet's sister was fixed. He wasn't lying.

Richard told Ben that Jacob told him that Juliet's sister will be fixed, it's as simple as that. I still don't understand the significance of Horace's cabin though.
