Ben has always been on his own side so I am sure he has some plan.

Is Richard dead? I don't remember him but flying thru the air after smokey jumped him. Did he lose his power not to die?

I am not so sure Richard is dead either. I think Locke/Smoke Monster just didn't want him to interfere with his discussion with Ben, who he admitted he was looking for. For all we know, he was just swept to the other side of the island, and who knows where he will turn up on Sunday.

Yep and then an hour show of Jimmy Kimmel with members of the cast and alternate endings at 12:30 I believe.

Clear the DVR.

1. First its clear new time line Hurley, has a great deal of definitive memories from his other life. As he recognizes the cop that freed desmond/kate/sayid.

2. I think Ben is trying to manipulate the man in black. Here is my reasoning. First, he sent Charles and Rousseau to his closet. But he sent miles into the forest. Before that however, he insisted to have Charles and Rousseus walky talkies. After which he gave one to miles. And he kept one. I think he intended to buy the MiBs trust, by giving him Charles, and his lackie. But he saved miles, so why would he save miles, only to go on a candidate killing spree? More over, the fact he sent Charles and Rousseau to the closet, and miles to the forest, suggests he had a preconcieved plan.

He planned to bring the MiB back to his closet, thus giving him Charles and Rousseau. He planned it before the MiB made a deal with him. Why would Ben repent passionately about killing Jacob for a half decent reason. Then plan to meet the MiB the man who convinced him to do it, and promise to go on a killing spree, all before he is told about the reward? Ben is a lot of things, but a cold blooded psychopath, is not one of them.

I think ultimately, he will sacrafice himself in some way to kill the MiB. Which will bring his redemption arc, that has existed this season (reinforced by his alterate time line counter part), to a great end.

Pretty interesting that the writer of that does not know the different between Zoe and Rousseau.
