Others see it yet otherwise, and we still don't know who these Hostiles are in the first place. But there seem to be factions. Maybe they are from different times, brought on the Island and stayed because of the healthy climate. Now that we had our first glimpses at the temple dwelling Others with their Fountain of Youth and their turbans I wonder why Tom bothered with his fake beard in the first place… and if Bea Klugh was part of their tribe. Dogen makes a pretty good mysterious leader for them, and his translator Lennon reminded me of another temple in another jungle. 
In Coppolas Vietnam epic Apocalypse Now Ben Willard and his crew venture into the heart of darkness and meet a manic war photographer (Dennis Hopper), who is a translator of some sort for Marlons Brandos Colonel Kurtz.
Interesting is that both temple tribes have a knack for building stuff from bamboo…
And my first thought when UnLocke was in the statue with Ben, when he leaned forward into the light was "Colonel Kurtz"!
