You know, I agree about Ben's plan for Locke's incomptency. If he were to be competent to run the island, Ben should have shown him how to operate the Cereberus vents, how the food drops work, how the frozen wheel works, and how to figure out the bearings for getting on and off the island. Ben did none of those things. Now that the island's moved, I'll bet the food drops will stop...they'll just land in an empty place in the ocean where the island used to be. Cereberus will be running rampant uncontrolled. The Losties and the Others may go to war, and be competing for food. Jacob might not be appearing to Locke; all the info given at the cabin may be totally bogus.

Any and all of these things could be happening on the island while the O6 are away...can't wait to find out.
