11. The Ben growing up on the island thing is curious, to say the least. You give him too much credit – I think he’s easily in his lower 40’s (unless that beating Sayid administered shaved years off his life). The Dharma project started in the late 70’s/early 80’s. You may be on to something with the ‘tube’ plus something new popped up on Google in the last day. If you Google Ben Linus – you get brought to a strange website involving the Hanso foundation and adoptions. The symbol for it is the Yin/Yang symbol only with identical fetus’ making the symbol – which sort of hints at twins or cloning – meaning Ben may have been created on the island and maybe he’s not as old as we think.

14. That’s my though exactly. I think Jack would go along with The Others to overthrow from within – however I’m not sure why they need to be overthrown. They keep insisting they are the good guys. If anything, The Others seem to just be ‘recruiting’ people. They are happy to leave the Oceanic survivors alone (those they don’t want). Most of the trouble they’ve had from them has come from the survivors poking their noses where they don’t belong. Of course, The Others have strange ways of recuitment. Can you imagine if the Jehovahs worked like that – bang on your door, size you up as a good person, and then snatch ya’?

1:: I can’t make up my mind. He was clutching the pearls while laid out on the windshield, so maybe he jumped. Would another hitman that Daddy sent have instructions to put the pearls in his hand?

2:: I’m with you and the “Lost Boys,” but Sun certainly seems to think it is Jae’s based on how she has been acting. Then again, it could just be her disbelief.

3:: I think they have been there for 3 or 4 days. Ben does reference being in an opposite place “last week” from Jack and based on the meals he’s had delivered, I’m guessing this is the 4th day.

4:: I got that vibe about Colleen too, especially when asking if she was interrupting, Juliet responded “would it matter?”

7-9:: The kiss made me forget the nice memories of Kate swinging that pick axe in that dress. Quite possibly better than her climbing thru the air vents last year. Anyway, we’ll see how far Sawyer gets. He likely doesn’t know Ben heard all of that and they are now likely to be even more careful with him.

11:: If Ben did grow up on the island, then what was his involvement in the Dharma project while a child or teenager? I forget the timeframe for the start of the project, but I’m guessing it was early 80’s. Assuming Ben is our age or a little older, maybe he was created there in a tube because that math doesn’t quite work out.

I also thought about the children being missing. They took the two tailie kids at least, not to mention Alex Rousseau, who you presume grew up there in some capacity. Makes you wonder if they ship the kids off-island and then bring them back when they are older, like Alex.

12-13:: It was a beautiful thing to use the Sox as a measure of proof. Jack would likely know that the Cards and Sox were doing well in the season before the trip, so it is convincing enough, let alone the production of a tape. It’s easier than reading information off papers in a folder.

14:: Makes you wonder what makes the time right. You’d think it would be some kind of large scale betrayal of the Oceanic survivors. Would Jack go along so that he could infiltrate them and overthrow from within, maybe with help from the kids)?
