    I agree that it's Ben who pulls the strings on the island and I think he has more of an influence back off of the island than he lets on.
    What I don't get is why does Ben still have all the resources (recruiting new people etc outside the island) that the original crew had while he killed all of them off? Maybe the freighter / rescue team wants to kill Ben and take the power back?
    your light's reflected now

    maybe the outside world doesnt realize they are dead.. if they are still performing the functions of dharma.. they still think they are all alive.. nobody just pops onto the island for a visit ya know?

    I'm telling you we don't know nearly as much about the Others as we think we do.

    I mean the ageless one Richard left the island to help recruit Juliet. The others must have some financial connections with deep pockets off the island and I'm betting that Ben is somehow involved.

    I think Ben uses the Jacob thing as a cover to keep his people in line, but still has contact with people off the island and only his top people know this. I mean look at his journal from last year:

    http://bp2.blogger.com/_RrObyQ3XzcY/RmRvIGMoPSI/AAAAAAAAF9w/F8SJwoxO6e0/s1600-h/bensdiary.jpg

    Someone has to be resupplying the camp and bringing all of the amenities that were in the Other's village.

    Also, I think the reason Ben does not want Naomi's boat people contacted is because they are not his allies and pose a threat to his happy world he has created on the island.

    Yeah, I live in Roseville and work in Sac. I actually grew up in New Orleans, but have been here since 2000.

    I saw the Lost article advertised in the Bee walking into work today.

    Where do you live?

    Oh, cool! I'm embarrassed to say that I live in Woodland, lol. But I work in Davis and spend the majority of my time in Davis or Sac. Yeah, I saw that in the Bee this morning before I left for work.

    It's kind of weird. It's like watching a foreign movie with subtitles except they don't match the dialogue.

    p.S. The Sawyer video in on the abc website as is the Kate vid with Criminal by Fiona Apple and Locke with Crazy by Patsy Cline.

    i cannot do it! i was looking forward to watching the season finale over again tonight, but the text is, as you said, weird. i keep expecting it to come up with text messages from junior high kids saying hi to each other on national tv...

    i'm putting some duct tape along the bottom of my tv screen! :D

    Yeah, it just takes a little while getting used to it.

    I did like that it said that Juliet was part of our gang now - told you all she was good. ;)
