Lots of great questions. I believe it was a musician who programmed the code in The Looking Glass, though, not a doctor. I think it was Charlie.
The only reason I thought it might be Christian is because Jack can play the piano, and because they mentioned their doctor being at the looking glass when ben is hurt.
Granted, I think they were just setting it up for Juliet to lie about Ben's condition..but I always thought that Christian might have an Island history, and being there in 77 sounds interesting(though no proof).
We'll probably never find out who "The Economist" is, but presumably he's dead as Ben told Sayid that he had killed all of Widmore's people in "He's Our You", and The Economist was one of those targets.
Thought Bea wanted Mikhail to kill her so that she wouldn't be forced to reveal the location of the Barracks.
Karl is probably a DHARMA kid that survived the purge when he was about 5 or 6, since the Purge was in 1992 and Karl was in his late teens. Maybe Ben et al. kept him around at the time so little Alex would have a play mate.
And while how the statue was destroyed is an interesting question, what I want to know is where did the rest of the statue go? Ruins that large would presumably be piled near the statue on the beach or in the shallow water.
I beleive that the statue could have been destroyed by a Tsunami, which perhaps was brought on by a volcanic eruption. The writers had said this was an element they were going to use in the stroy, but the real-life Tsunami in Indonesia, postponed their idea. It is still possible that we may see this occur.
The 'Circle of Ash' was IMO to keep someone inside of the cabin. Ben & Locke had no problem getting inside, therefore, it wasn't to keep somebody from entering. We know that Locke didn't disturb the ash, as he stepped over it. Ilana & Bram found the ash had been broken, so I believe whenever this occurred, it was when Nemesis made his escape! It wouldn't surprise me if Ben was responsible, because he was being careless.
I believe that the FDW was always where it was! Underground, and may be accessible from The Temple, and underground tunnels that connect.

Excellent site, man! I read your 'inverted christian triad' theory on darkufo and have a high amount of respect for you and your knowledge/theory-mongering of the show, so i hope you'll respond to this comment as well.
Lots of great questions, and of particular interest to me is the one about faraday's off-island activities from '74-77.
I was re-watching 'Lefleur' last night and came up with a theory that both scares me and makes me tingle, as so many lost concepts do. It scares me because it goes against WHH, which i am a big proponent of, but still wraps things up nicely with what we know of faraday's actions.
Basically, I began to wonder why Faraday pulled a 180, and after saying they could/couldnt change things, still told charlotte what he'd always told her, as well as a few other puzzling things. And then of course how "The Variable" really ties into to what he was doing in the 70's. This lead me to wonder why course correction happens in general, and the answer I came up with was b/c the S-T continuum (/Fate) must avoid paradox, particularly resulting from cause-effect truncation.
But why would this be so? Because if you try and change (too many things?) you get the 'butterfly effect' which would exponentially regress through the timestream and cause all sorts of havoc. fair enough.
I began to wonder though, particularly with all Faraday's talk on Variables during the episode of the same name, that even though he seemed resigned to WHH, he may have been up to something.
What if Faraday wanted everything else to happen as it always did, keep everything else constant so he could have one Variable that he did try to change, so that course correction wouldn't intervene? The reason why course correction happens is because if you change one thing, you change many things. But what if he was attempting to make sure that the other things that would be changed, did not, so that only one specific thing was changed?
The phrase goes, "A butterfly flapping it's wings in texas can cause a hurricane in Japan". There are many variations, but the gist is the same. This is applied to course correction easily enough, that if you step on that butterfly you change an infinite number of events. But what if you arranged for the hurricane, and any other subsequent events that were supposed to happen as a result of the butterfly's wings? What if you made sure they happened, so that you could kill the butterfly and not cause paradox? (with time travel involved, obviously) This is the crux of what i suspect faraday may have been trying.
I believe the hatch-Jughead event is Faraday's one, specific, Variable event to change, while keeping everything else the same (charlotte, chang's evacuations, perhaps even his own death? etc)
This is still very much a fledgling theory and since it's inception last night i have not had nearly the time to refactor and analyze it as i would like, so please shoot through any holes in it that you may see.
In exchange i will ask you a question about your inverted trinity theory that i see may have a hole.
You say that richard alpert is simply one manifestation of nemesis/smokey. However, when we have seen other manifestations (walt, alex) any flames around them were always blown out while they were present, and re-lit upon their exit. However, in watching lafleur last night, Richard Alpert strolled right into the dharma camp carrying a lighted torch.
Just a thought. Sorry for the long post and hope you get back to me! Keep on thizzing man, it's great stuff. Really look forward to seeing at least 70% of your predictions come to life in seas6.

Hey Brad thanks for stopping by and commenting.
First the Nemesis-Fire connection: Nemesis kicked Jacob into flames, they didn't go out...not sure fire is the hint. Also, I'm not of the opinion that Walt is an instance of Nemesis being deceptive..I think those instances were actually Walt projecting himself(possibly being forced by his captors at the time).
As for Faraday, I think his mind was changed by spending time with the Dharma tribe, a people whose philosophy stands in stark contrast to that of his mother's, Ms. Hawking. He started to believe that change was possible, and he's right to think that human's are the key variable....for as they change, so will the world. I'm also a firm believer that there will be little to no paradoxes on Lost, I think they've made a point of avoiding it.
Also, I don't think Faraday talked to Charlotte to keep things the same....he talked to Charlotte because he believed that she might actually be able to change the future. It was a hopeful act...but it ALWAYS happened that way. Nothing has changed.
Burned body...
They don't want the smoke monster screwing around with them by hanging around as their dead friends and relatives!
