I thought there was a lot answered. By revealing Richard's purpose, it also shows why he set up groups like the others. There was always speculation about this, but now it was revealed.

Also the way Jacob said he could be replaced, suggests that he expects to die at some point. Perhaps he was not the first to take his position. He knows that eventually he will die so he brings a continual supply of new people to the island to replace him just in case. Smokey is given the power to kill but can only kill those he know could never replace Jacob, therefore, he judges everyone first.

All in all, I was hoping this was a direction the show wouldn't take. I liked the initial episodes where there was a rational explanation to what at first seemed totally supernatural.
