First off let me say this was a great episode and the Lost writers and producers finally delivered. First I am willing to bet Anthony Cooper, Locke’s father is the con man “Sawyer” who ruined James Ford’s life and caused him to go by the allies name “Sawyer”. Wow that guy is the real deal con man, he is like the Michael Jordan of con mans! lol
Ben said the island give you what you want most in life and James "Sawyer" Ford wants only one thing (other than Freckles). Thats going to be interesting.

I love Locke in this episode he has gone freaking crazy, I think the writers tried to make it seem as if Ben manipulated John to blow up the sub but he had those intentions before he ran into Ben and no one was going to stop him. He is the governator of the island and Ben is jealous of his connection to it LOL.

It’s good to know Ben knows a lot about the island so now we know some one can explain what the heck is going on unless he dies then that would suck. It also looks as if Jack was informed on somethings possibly by Ben or Juliet so maybe he can inform some of the others and the audience during the process.

I really wish the writers had chosen something other than Locke’s father to be the present inside the magical box which was explained in Ben’s analogy in this episode. This is way to much of a coincidence and it is starting to look as if the writers are going towards the whole Matrix concept about relative reality and what you see isn’t really their. I hope I am wrong because it’s been done before and I was hoping for something new and different.
