Skid: Ok, weird. Read #23 of my newest post. I swear I just posted it then went to see any new comments and saw yours. Ironic or what!!!??? So … no, I don’t think it’s wackadoo at all!

I am not one for wackadoo theories, but I will throw this out in short form for you to ponder, flesh out, or discard. Maybe with a week break you will have time to read:

IF there were TWO Rabbit 15’s . . . COULD there be two Ben’s????

MIGHT he even have been communicating with himself with the mirror at the Orchid??? and needed to WARN the “other” him that he was coming since like the rabbits (and Marty McFly) he cannot risk running into or coming into contact with “himself”???

I KNOW this sounds WAY twisted but maybe one Ben knew to be waiting to hear from himself at a certain time and place and was there to wait for him. I had to wonder how someone just happened to be waiting by the cliff to look for a mirror message.

Maybe one Ben is in the coffin and Jack knows that was his chance to get back to the island, but he knows there is another one on the island????

I really have NO idea where this leads but it would be the biggest twist I could imagine.

Again, the TWO rabbits who are identical from the Orchid video are what open this door in my mind.

There is more to flesh out, but might there be something to this???

( . . . oh and I still want to have a day of celebration when Farraday takes off that tie.)

Keep up the great posts. Any comment on the “Twin Ben Theory”???

GG: One reason I don’t believe it’ll be Michael Sun blames is because his whole reason for coming to back to the island was to make amends for the things he did to save his son. He’s being haunted by Libby. Ben recruited him by using his guilt and to try and stop Mr. Widmore from killing the rest of the Losties. But we really don’t have enough information. As of yet, I don’t even think Sun knows that the boat belongs to Mr. Widmore, but the crew of the boat knows who hired them and I believe one of them will inform her. Desmond also knows. I have a feeling she’s talking about overall responsibility, not the actual person who does the killing.

davesbeachbar: I think that Ben has a plan and it involves a *special* death for Keamy. They knew the boat people were coming when they left Othervile so I’m sure that there was a plan there. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Remember that Ben was exactly where he wanted to be (just like Miles) when he was with the Losties.

GaryG; I think that Sun holds her father and Michael responsible for Jin’s death. Something is going to happen on that boat and it’s not going to be pretty.

Mark: I forgot about the mystery device on Keamy. Good call!

My son & I were just reading your thoughts on this episode & I think he hit the nail on the head with one observation: The device strapped to Keamy’s arm is the trigger for the C4 on the boat. If Keamy dies, the boat goes BOOM!

Addition to my last comment. I think that’s another reason Sun is taking over her father’s business, to have a power base to take on Mr. Widmore.

I think the 2nd one responsible for Jin’s death would be Mr. Widmore. What do you think?

Something that is bugging me. If the “others” can surround Kate and Sayid, quiet as mice and armed to the teeth, then why couldn’t they do that to the bad freighties and wipe them out or at least capture them instead? You know there are at least a couple of them at or near the Orchid due to the mirror response.

Did you notice the co-pilot on the plane bringing them back playing with a rabbit’s foot and then later when Hurley’s Dad gives him the keys to the Camero, it’s chained to a rabbit’s foot? I wonder if there’s a hint there. Remember the pilot’s comment to the co-pilot “Put that away, you’re creeping me out.” I loved the numbers being in the car..LOL. Poor Hurley, he can’t escape them.

The boat is rigged with C4, I wonder if most of the people who made it to the boat are going to die. Sun’s on the boat with Aaron and we know they’re 2 of the 6. All of the 6 are scattered so somehow they have to get back together.

According to what Horace told Locke, if the island was moved 15 years ago, it would have been done while the Dharma guys still had control of the island.

I wonder what the real Orchid site that’s under the green house will be like and what needs to be done there. Ben didn’t tell Locke what he needed to do. Orchid, flowers, they bloom, sometimes people use that term bloom when they talk about large explosions like a nuke. Keemy did say he was going to the Orchid to “flame” the island.

I absolutely loved when Sun stood up to her Father, “So you show me some respect!” You could see it in his face when she told him to expect some changes.

2 weeks… I can’t wait!!!

I really thought for a moment that maybe, just maybe . . . Farraday was going to look at Charlotte wistfully before getting into the raft . . . take off his tie . . . and say “Here. I want you to have this.” and toss it to her (a la Mean Joe Green)

. . . and was anyone expecting someone on the freighter to say (once the raft arrived back): “Oh good! You brought some of the mute castaways with you!”

As for the mirror and who was on the receiving end:

a. Ageless Richard and the Supremes but I am not sure the timing is right (no pun intended)

b.Wouldn’t it be COOL if it were Dr. Marvin Candle! with an outside chance of Mikhail?

. . . and I think Ben is in the coffin.
