Fall Finale

Remember when I said I didn't think Ben was really in charge, or if he was in charge, it was only of this little group. I think that possibly the statement:

"Shephard wasn't even on Jacob's list"

might be confirming my layer theory. And, I still say that Ben looks more scared now than evil. I may be wrong, but clearly he looks distressed when things don't go his way.

I also now have a fear that even though Kate has confessed her love to Sawyer, she might just cut and run when she gets a chance (not on this island!). Considering her flashbacks...that would be her M.O.

Ben/Alex connection. Okay, so this is weird. Ben asks if Alex asked about him and wants to know where she is. They say they took her "home" but now they don't know where she is. I think they must have banished her back to the monster island and now she is running free? If home was a house...I think they would know where she was. It is pretty clear that home more likely represents a location...kinda like the United States is my home. Is Ben a father figure? Did he raise her after the stole her from Rousseau? Much like they tried to steal Claire's baby? So many baby themes here.

I thought the slingshot attack was pretty funny. She was whooping some @$$ with her rocks!

Eko's stick: Lift Up Your Eyes and Look North...then John 3:05: Passage John 3:05:

5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

There are so many biblical references...now we have "Jacob" as well and "Benjamin" - both biblical names ..... and Jack "Shephard. In Genesis you can read all about Jacob's sons, one being named Benjamin, son of Rachel. Seems Jacob had no fertility issues at all and wouldn't need a doctor such as Juliet. But, Rachel...yes Rachel wasn't conceiving fast enough so she recruited some handmaidens to do the job? Claire? Sun? Hmmmmmm..

You could go nuts on the Jacob/Benjamin bible connections...read and see what you think. I'm no bible scholar, but you can find connections in Jacob's stories in Genesis.

I have to concede that I must have been wrong on my suggestion that the whole operation would be a setup....Ben wouldn't let Jack cut into him for ANYTHING if it was all trickery. Ben truly wants to be saved at this point. Again, he is scared.

Feb 7th - it's going to be hard!!!
