yeah, he needed Richard to think Isabella was killed, but she couldnt be because she was dead...spot on. as far as how did isabella appear inside and smoky outside...well correct me if i'm wrong, but during Eko's judgement, didn't he see the three men he killed int he church manifested all separately but at the same time in front of him. this shows me smoky can be in 2 places at once for the purpose of conning someone....albeit i dont know how far one of his apparitions can be from another.

sheesh, you ask for answers, then refuse to accept them when they are given. you people...

Who's refusing to accept anything? I'm just saying that it is still possible that it's not MiB who is taking the form of other people. I worded my post very carefully and said THE IDEA (as opposed to THE FACT) and WOULD (as opposed to DOES). I suggest you pay just a little more attention while reading, before you start making assumptions and offering criticism.

I am looking at that, and I am quite aware of what were the intentions of both Alex and Isabella, I was just saying that Isabella that Hurley spoke to was a different one than the one who spoke to Richard.
