Perhaps there is no control over whatever his "leave the island" mechanism is? Meaning he has no idea where he will wind up and when? So he wears the parka on the chance he winds up in the arctic. In the desert he can ditch the coat. Better that than wearing khakis in Siberia. That would also explain all the different passports and currency he carries. Also, if this is a game of good v. bad, Widmore v. Ben, are we really sure whose side is the "good" side? Interesting that we believed Sayid to be working "for" Ben. In Sayid's mind, at least now, he's working with him.

Sayid will probably have his gun on the side of Penny's head at some point in the future. Will he shoot? I guess he won't and Ben will kill Sayid. The cut on Ben's arm will help us link the timeframe at some point. Maybe when all hell breaks loose on the island and the O6 gets out, something will happen to Ben and we'll know that moments after that, he'll be sun tanning with his winter coat in the Sahara.

Could there be some truth to that somehow related to the Losties' story and them crashing on the island? Hmmm. Did anyone else notice the smirk on Ben's face after Sayid practically begged to work for/with Ben? That was priceless. Michael Emerson is an awesome actor.

Sorry about that.

Sometimes he forgets to take his Sucks hat off before coming to the LOST forum. And I think it's ironic that some of you who have blatantly offended users in this forum are making your little remarks about Riliss not being so nice. I think that's very funny. Quit acting. Any way...back on topic.

I think they twice showed him holding it. Didn't look like a gun. That would a telescopic baton, primarily used by the military (and bug-eyed assassins) for self defense and attack. S. T'was also used by Tonya Harding's goon when he attacked Nancy Kerrigan.

Did you also notice the painting on the wall behind Ben in Widmore's bedroom? Very similar to the mural in the Swan. In fact it may be the one that was hanging in Widmore's office when Des went there for the "job" interview.

Is Ben's house a DHARMA station? Maybe Ben is a jumper. Maybe this is the temple where the other Others are hiding...? I love this show.

Must be the teleportation station

Obviously from the masonry of the archway and the door itself it not a Dharma structure but part of the artifacts strewn about on the island. Some of the hieroglyphs that were on the Swan Station countdown clock are visible in the upper center of the door. Wild specualtion on my part, but I think old smokey was the original security system for the ancients that lived there before (sort of like the creature from Forbidden Planet when Walter Pidgeon discovered how to use the Krell machinery).

But maybe this artifact was used by DHARMA somehow in a study pertaining to time travel.

I'm thinking the Orchid Station is the hot spot for time travel. Last night could also explain why Ben has so many passports and currency on hand for 'time excursions' off the island. Inevitably the only ones who know for sure are the producers, and I don't expect concise answers any time soon. S.

Posts: 540 (04/25/08 11:56 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	amazing episode. not sure if this one or the desmond/penny one is the best this season. i think that one was probably a little bit better written but this one was more exciting. all in all, i think this has arguably been the most consistently good season. the juliet episode was a bit of a clunker and i wasn't a huge fan of the michael episode either, but it's been action packed and has really moved the story forward. Also, if this is a game of good v. bad, Widmore v. Ben, are we really sure whose side is the "good" side? i think we will get turned on our heads on this a few more times. up until the end of the third season, ben was clearly the "baddie," but we are meant to see him as at least the lesser of two evils now. we were ready to believe widmore was a villain, partly because the first intro showed him as such an asshole (but there may have been a reason for that -- maybe he had some inkling that desmond was dangerous for penny and wanted to keep them apart. or knew that desmond needed to get isolated and sent to the island. who knows) it may ultimately be that they are neither or both and somebody on the island (jack/kate, locke) become opposed to both ben and widmore. god i love this show.

Those bastard writers and their godlike powers over life and death. This was an incredible episode. I'm stunned by Alex being sacrificed for the greater story. Ben has become a central character to this entire thing. Who would have thought when we first saw him being captured by Danielle and imprisoned by Locke. Space-time travel. It has to be. One Dharma station contains a portal that allows Ben to travel anywhere with a certain level of randomness. It would explain why Richard hasn't aged also. Poor Alex...
