The last few episodes with the french survivors have got me thinking, does anyone else think that the Temple is underneath the Barracks? Last season when the mercenaries were attacking the complex Ben squeezes through a crack in the wall in his house with hieroglyphics on the sides and says he will be back soon, moments later the smoke monster comes and kills the mercs. I was thinking that maybe Ben tells smokey that those guys are threatening the temple and they should be killed. I may be wrong since I haven't rewatched that episode but the electric fence is also switched off and it attacks nobody other than the armed intruders. I think smokey is so angry because it has been shut out of the temple since dharma/others arrived. My theory is that that is where Richard and the others disappeared to when they said they were retreating to the temple, they are actually underground the Barracks and how easy is it to hide that many people above ground for about 15 episodes/ days? The barracks are built on quite a steep hill right at the centre of the island and no flashbacks of the last 20 years or so actually show the temple + the fact that no losties have stumbled upon it in the jungle either seems to suggest that it is no longer actually above ground and obvious. In the flashbacks when Ben was a child Richard certainly seems determined to break through the fence and retake that part of the island from dharma...
