I already knew there would be no episode this week, but yeah it sucks.

I assumed that since it started in January that there wouldn't be any reruns.

How in hell did Ben know there was a boat there?
Ben knows everything.
Awesome episode. I especially liked Sawyer telling Jack off towards the end. That was priceless.
Crackpot theory of the now (again from the asoiaf boards):
Also, I can't have been the only one that saw the smoke monster when (SPOILER)Sun and Frank returned to the main island. I'm pretty sure I also heard it right before the turbulence started as well. No idea what either of those signifies, though.(SPOILER)Sayid shoots kid Ben.
You heard it here first, people. He has no idea about the "rules." He may think he's saving everyone in the future...but that shot of him with the gun, and him saying "I know now what I have to do..." I think that may have something to do with why Ben goes all...sociopath leader in his future. Also thinking that Jack is going to have to save him (again), but perhaps covertly? Since he is a workman, and all. ()

Yeah, I was thinking that Ben was going to get killed andwas gonna get smurfed up ... because I think Sun and Frank are in "present" time on the Island, because the Dharma Initiative symbols were still up all over the barracks. The others took the barracks over after the Purge, so they would have (presumably) taken down the Dharma symbols. So, maybe the future was changed?
Either that, or Hurley tells Horace that Ben is going to kill everyone with the poison gas ... he mentioned it in this episode, didn't he?
Miles is totally Pierre Chang's son.
I really doubt the past is actually going to be changed. Sayid won't know that though, which could strongly screwup
Anyway yeah, Sun, Frank and the others are definitely in 'present' time. Also, I doubt Ben dies as a result of an encounter with the monster, though he does seem to be in a bad way at the end of The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham. The writers did say they were going to kill off one major character this season though, and I suppose Ben is a possibility. I'd kind of hate it if it were him though; Michael Emerson brings so much to the series.
About the death: (SPOILER)Its not Ben
They're in 2007 and apparently Smokey continued to destroy the Barracks after Ben released it in 2005.
Loving Christian appearances almost as much as I love Smokey. <3
I wouldn't mind if Ben died. I'm a bit tired of his manipulation and double-crossing these days. He's become too one-note for me, though that's not to insult Emerson, who is a very good actor and all. If I were a badass like Sayid, I would have shot his ass long ago.
Ben is the new Snape...
Oh and Jack was such an ass this episode, he got what was coming to him...
This show is too bizarre for words these days. Why didn't Sun go back in time with the rest of them?

My wife suspects that someone from the Oceanic Six went back in time if someone from that time wanted them back. Thus Juliet -> Jack and Sawyer -> Kate. But if this is true, who wanted Hurley and Sayid back? And is there a point in time when this "calculation" was made as now Sawyer and Juliet seem pretty content without Jack and Kate unless it's at some unconscious level.
