Could it be a possibility that the boat is there under Ben's orders? I think it's undisputed that he has at least some control over the boat with Michael on board, but some things just don't add up. And I've come to realize that when things don't add up Ben is usually to blame. The captain implies that Ben is responsible for the faked crash, but he doesn't say it. Instead he says he wants him. That could mean a multitude of things, including wanting him in a fight against Widmore. It could be that he just wants to put Ben back in control of the island.

The ghostbuster said he'd keep quiet for 3.2 million, that seems like a random number, which leads me to believe it was code spoken to Ben.

Ben could have shot the archealogist knowing that she was wearing a bulletproof vest. This would have and has gotten him out of his debacle with Locke, the whole "we have the same enemy so we must be friends" kind of a thing.


How does Michael magically end up on the freighter with an alias that is believable for the crew? It's more plausible for me that Ben gave him the heading for the freighter knowing that he'd jump aboard the first ship he saw, and that the ship knew he was coming and took Walt again. And if he knew the course, then maybe the freighter is a kind of a gatekeeper to the island

How could Sayid magically fix the radio when no one else on board could? I think it's because it was just supposed to look broken. The people on board would have known just as much as Sayid about their own equipment. What evidence do we have that the engines really aren't functional?


This might be a stupid post, I'm lost with Lost at the moment.
