What If They Gave A War...

For a while now, it's been clear a war is brewing on Lost. We'll finally get to see it in the final season.

I was wondering, just who will be fighting? We can guess the main dispute is between Jacob and his nemesis, Bocaj (aka Blackie, aka Esau, aka Titus Welliver). But the real question is, who's on the side of Bocaj?

You've got Richard and the Others, who have been working with Jacob for as long as we know. You've got Ilana and her gang, who also fight for Jacob. Then you've got the Oceanic 6, who haven't officially picked sides, but seem to have been touched by Jacob and are coming, presumably on Jacob's side.

Bocaj seems to have inhabited the body of Locke to help himself out, but that hardly counts. He's also manipulated a lot of people unwittingly, even Ben, to do his bidding. But is there any independent party fighting for him? The only one who may be on his side is Widmore and his gang (though his gang has had a pretty rough time, and is mostly dead). Still, we're not even sure if Widmore joined with Bocaj. Presumably, back when he ran things on the Island, he was working for Jacob. Perhaps he's been willing to work with Bocaj to get back to the Island, but we don't even know if that's true.

So what kind of war is this if one side doesn't even have anyone?
