Big question for me is, who is ben's boss.

"Hey Elsa, I have lots of money, but I thought I'd get you this steel bracelet I got uh... at a pawhshop. Mind the inscription."

Ben is Sayids Boss
Charles Widmore is Elsa's
Jacob is Bens..... or at least he used to be. Since he asked Locke for help, I think old Ben might have turned on him.

Personally I think all Jacob cares about is his pet smokey and his special little island.

Default technology clue that Jacob is Elsa's employer?

One thing I noticed in "The Economist" was that when Sayid asks Elsa why her boss makes her use an old-fashioned beeper, she says something like "He doesn't much like new technology." When Ben takes Locke to the cabin he lights a lantern instead of a flashlight or whatever and says something like "Just like you, Locke, he's not a big fan of technology." I think it's significant. What do you guys think?

Eh...If it is that means her boss is Jacob. And that would be a bit cheesy for a mystery Jacob to go off island and his worker to tell him "I told you to page me at 10!". Lol Jacob takes not crap like that. And he doesn't leave the island.

Yup, that's my guess.

Elsa doesn't page her employer. Remember, it only worked the other way around. She said (and we know she was a liar but that doesn't mean she lied about everything) that her employer her once or twice a year when he is in Berlin.

We don't know whether or not Jacob can leave the island. But we do feel pretty certain he can change his shape to fit whatever works for the psychology of the person he is trying to manipulate, is getting off the island every now and again really so unbelievable?

In any event, I think the technology comment that Elsa throws out there is not meaningless. We are meant to make a connection.

He paged her late. She snapped at him for it. Jacob sends smokey to take care of her and sayid. Jacob doesn't need people.
Spoiler for I Am Legend Spoilers!:
He could sneak into I Am Legend and then walk into the movie and stop Will Smith from getting killed.

Is there anything else you want to give spoilers to? 'Cause I haven't seen Titanic yet and I don't want to know how it ends!
