Makes sense to use cold weather capable animals if it is cold during the journey, right? I think the landing in Tunisia is expected, which is why Ben already had a preferred customer account with that hotel. I think it is more plausible that Widemore did kill Nadia rather than Ben. Widemore could be trying to get at the Six survivors to reveal what they know about locating the island. Do agree that Ben's sly smile meant he worked the situation in his favor though. Stunned when Alex was killed. I was in as much disbelief as Ben. What was with that door? I mean, it was like the house was built on top of it... doesn't seem to built into the side of a mountain/hill... felt like he was doing an Indiana Jones moment or something. Very interested to see where that door goes, but obviously it is linked to smokey's layer, which we know is underground from a past episode. Think Ben has also lost some mojo with the island too... after all, how did he end up with the big C if the island heals all, or at the very least, the good people? Although, he did seem to be still healing quickly from his beat down by Jack... As for the Ben/Widemore "meeting", thought it was very well done. Loved the filming so that we only saw one side of each of their faces. Think maybe to show they are each on a side or something. Widemore says the island was once his or that we was there or it was Ben talking about him never finding it again. Anyway, I came away with the thought that he had been there at some point and wanted back. Perhaps he is like Jack and crew and want to get back to that island... Anyway, this was easily the best episode of the season, and maybe of the series!

In fact, what if Jack is the one that kills the doctor and due to the weird time things on the island, he has found the body of someone he won't kill until later? (Although throat slashing might be a bit extreme for Jack - although, maybe not Sayid.) (On that point - I saw an interview with Damon Lindelof at ew.com where he said something along the same - or more to the point, he said that a body adrift at sea would not follow the exact coordinates needed to avoid the "time" issues). Keep up the comments. You've got some great ideas!!! BTW I'll have to post that Catwoman cover sometime soon.

My wife and I think Jack & co make it to the boat and "eliminate" the crew, so that in effect, they were not really liberated and Widemore did not yet find the island, at least not precisely. Also, that site from the previous post mentions Widemore has had an Austrailian accent and an English accent. I had not noticed that, Has anyone else noticed that? And I don't buy Widemore assasinating Sayid's wife. Ben's doing makes more sense. However, my wife thinks that man could have been someone sent to watch Sayid, security like, and nothing more. ?? Nice catch on seeing Ben exhale frosty breath. Happy Birthday Abby! Hi Ed.
