Default Ben

When i was watching this episode, i got a feeling that ben is no longer leading the others. Obviously he is with the survivors now, but i mean in Sayid's flash forward. He was off island, and if he was part of the oceanic 6, then im pretty sure he would be in the hands of the frieghter people, as they are after him. So i reckon, that the others will disregard ben as there leader because Richard said that he was wasting alot of time on fertility problems etc. And as he is with the others, he can influence them to get a new leader, i.e locke as he can hear Jacob. I'm just not sure how he's gonna make it off the island. Im pretty certain that he isn't part of the oceanic 6, it just doesnt make sense!

I was wondering if the spy on the frieghter and Sayid manage to overpower the people on there, although I'm not sure why they'd take Ben then. Unless they had Ben as their bounty and then they were overpowered.


Or maybe he threatened to break one of Kate's nails and Jack forced everyone to let him to the real world with them

I think there's a lot to Ben that we dont know. For a long while we've just known him as the leader of the Others, but its never really been asked, just what does being leader of the Others mean?

He had that room full of passports and all sorts, I wouldnt be surprised if Ben still has the means to leave the Island whenever he wants to.

I am actually coming round to the idea that the frieghties arent the way they get off the island. I actually think that they make it off some other way, and that Ben is blackmailing Sayid to disrupt whatever it is the frieghties are doing on the island. Weather or not this is a good thing or not who knows

I agree, Because how would Hurley and Kate get off, seen as they have decided to stay with locke. There must be anotheer way off... perhaps locke didnt blow up the submarine as we all first thought Maybe he just submerged it or something like that, it could explain how Kate, Ben and Hurley got off. I mean, im pretty sure that the people who are after Ben wont just let him go when they get off the island.

I'd like to think that the Frighter guys turn bad, their evil mission is brought to light and with the group really wanting to get off the island they set about commendereing the frieghter and going home.

Or, i think ben escapes locke and is a stowaway on the frieighter....

or, escapes and has another means of transport back to civilisation, running away like the coward he is lol (don't kill me ben lovers.... or get sayid on me....)
