(If they weren't included, they don't count!)<BR/><BR/>However, the scene you link to has two facets about it:<BR/><BR/>1. That there is a stash of money hidden not far from the 'exit point' in the desert for when Ben arrives there.<BR/><BR/>2. That there is a guy lying in the background on his back that, perhaps, once dropped in from the Island.<BR/><BR/>With the first point I think it makes sense that there would be provision made avaiable to anyone from the Island that ended up in the desert. Ben plans ahead and appears to have a whole network of people in the real world to aid him. That there was a stash of money is a point that's identical to the fact he had made pre-booked reservations at the nearby hotel.<BR/><BR/>The second point about the body is probably the intriguing part, but given that we've seen Locke and Ben 'exit' at the same point I think we have to quash the idea that it's someone else that exited the Island. When we saw Ben land there was no one else around, and later on Widmore had a camera pointed at that precise area. It would seem people land THERE and nowhere else - so the guy lying on his back is probably just one of the two men he encountered and battered. That's what I think.AngeloComethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303083576143373383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-36439174241716917282009-03-02T20:12:00.000+00:002009-03-02T20:12:00.000+00:00Hi!Very good analysis. http://www.youtube.com/watc...Hi!<BR/><BR/>Very good analysis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYTpN6Kb2cw<BR/><BR/>Ben has a bank account in the WTBC (Well Tunisian Bank Corporation)<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to read your thoughts about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-42847533921426473292009-02-27T22:14:00.000+00:002009-02-27T22:14:00.000+00:00if they made locke a boring ghost like christian t...if they made locke a boring ghost like christian they would probably lose quite a few viewers inculding myself. and why are the producers hinting that it was a bad thing to bring locke back to the island.<BR/><BR/> i'm sick of all these boring, time consuming mess-ups the past two seasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-14031311042409992562009-02-27T21:01:00.000+00:002009-02-27T21:01:00.000+00:00Well, I am going to disagree with you. But only o...Well, I am going to disagree with you. But only on FAITH not on SCIENCE. Ben is the bad guy (you've heard my rants before)...and I thought this episode made that concrete...well actually when we find out that he killed penny will make that concrete, but for now...I'm going to stick with my own FAITH and say Ben is the bad guy. <BR/><BR/>However, you make good arguements against Charles. So I have to continue to use SCIENCE to figure out what side of the IMPENDING WAR I will be rooting for. I am on John Locke's side for now....but that would again lead me to be against Ben....<BR/><BR/>I have yet to see the GOOD in BEN. He is brilliant, and a favorite character of mine....but I think he represents evil.<BR/><BR/>I am with ya 100% on your timeline explanations....except, I think Sun may in fact be in the 70s...again, this is a faith thing, not a science thing :)Acharaisthekeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030529545899739445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-60393618888563357602009-02-27T18:55:00.000+00:002009-02-27T18:55:00.000+00:00Those canoes, by the way, are very similar, if not...Those canoes, by the way, are very similar, if not the same, from the one in which sawyer and kate escaped from the smaller island...<BR/><BR/>About Locke rebirth, maybe the same thing happened to Christian? Or at least, something similar, since Cristian cannot be exactly alive, as he always appears and disappears at places where he just couldnt be. <BR/><BR/>In fact, who knows...maybe even John is not exactly "alive"?Corellianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879839636851698906noreply@blogger.com
