[The_other_other]

Now from what i can gather the common view is that the others contacted michael to set him up and manipulate him. However, looking back, it seemed to me that the only reason they wanted him was to get ben back, yet when Michael was contacted Ben had not yet made his appearence, so the others couldnt have planned it. This makes me think that maybe it was walt who contacted Michael, and the others used him as a spur of the moment thing.

Now im not sure what it could mean, but it does open the possibility that there is a means of communication in the others village which can be used without detection. Of course im probably wrong
