Why do you think that The MiB can read minds? He is intuitive and cunning (like Ben!)but I don't think he has a such power.
How else did the MiB/Black Smoke know to appear to Richard as his wife and to Mr Eko as his brother (Dimi?)? And how did the MiB know to appear to Jack as his father and lead him to the water at the cave? Simple. The MiB can read minds.
My main problem is about the ghosts appearing in the flash forwards. Hugo played chess with Eko and saw Charlie, Jack saw Christian. Were they projections of the MiB outside of the island?
I see nothing wrong with Hugo seeing Eko and Charlie, I think the Island was done with both of them and set their spirits free. I think we can put Jack's sighting of his father down to Jack being a druggie at the time. Or it might have actually been his father's ghost, it didn't have to be stuck on the Island.
I do wonder what happened to Christian's corpse though.... might have ended up in the sea. Or maybe it fell down the rabbit hole into the light!?!
