Saving you "LOST" time: 10/18/06

Lots of speculation that Sun's baby's father is Jae, not Jin, though I can't get the timeline to work in mind on this.
We learn that there is a dark side to Sun. She sacrificed her maid when she broke the ballerina. She sacrificed Jae when she cheated (and got caught) having an affair with him.
Did Jae jump from the window or was he killed by someone other than Jin?
When Jin says something like, I know you have betrayed me, to Sun on the beach when she finally tells him they are building a trap for the Others, does he simply mean the betrayal at the moment, or when she didn't tell him she spoke English, or does he really knwo about her affair?
Ben Linus says "you never made me any pie" to Juliet. Did they have a past relationship, or perhaps he was held in their cages at some point (could be what she meant when she said, in last episode, "It's not who we were, it's who we are now"

Though when Colleen came in and said "am I interrupting anything", there was some clear tension going on, which implies that Ben and Juliet had some relationship at some point.

Jack laughs at the Red Sox winning the World Series and takes the news about Bush with a straight face? What kind of a crazy world is that?

Jack's dad used to say, "And that's why the Sox won't win series." Jack said it once or twice, and Sawyer said it once too - he also got it from Jack's dad, when they were in the Australian bar.

It was interesting that Benry was shocked by the sailboat, which would indicate he doesn't know about Desmond, which may mean the Others are not Dharma or it could mean that the Others do not know about the Pearl hatch, or have the ability to see inside the Swan hatch.
Is Ben the leader, or the middleman? perhaps the leader on the island, but reports to someone off the island?
Juliet, perhaps she has psychic abilities, since she was able to break Jack down.
Remember, Sawyer was not privy to the info that the Pearl station had monitors to watch the Swan station, so he does not know they have cameras. Or he may be playing them, knowing the cameras are there.
When Colleen is getting a group together to go get Desmond's boat, Colleen says (whispers but people closed captioned it) to Danny, "We gotta go get the boat. It's 10 minutes from where the Galaga can retrieve it and bring it back for..."

Galaga is how Others got onto the sailboat undetected.
Is it a boat, or a submarine?
Is it a water or air-based vehicle?
Secret route to Pallea Ferry dock (some speculate there is a secret underground tunnel system under the island).

Kate has not been same since put in the cage. Perhaps she struck a deal with Ben (like Ben offered Jack), between breakfast and being put in the cage. She is not usually as submissive as she has been acting. Maybe she is still drugged.
If Others have TV, maybe satellite, then could get info on Losties if a show ever did an expose on the missing people from Oceanic 815.
Ben Linus (NotHenry Gale's real name):

Ben Linus and get www.hansoadoptions.org
Go to bottom of page and there is a phone number that reads ( )-2006. Click the ( ). It takes you to this website: http://artemis.hansoadoptions.org/
This may just be a fan site, but since it appears as a paid link on google, it is hard to believe it is.
Perhaps connected to Ben saying he was born on the island. Perhaps he was adopted, or a test tube baby...

Son of Apollo and Psamathe, whose father was the King of Argos. She feared her father and gave the infant Linus to shepherds to raise. He was torn apart by dogs after reaching adulthood and Psamathe was killed by her father, for which Apollo sent a child-killing plague to Argos.
Fits in with the crappy father issues all over LOST.

Maybe Ben did grow up on the island and when Dharma came in the 70s (he would have been a teen), perhaps DHARMA captured him and tested on him or something like that.

His medical skills?
To bring Jack, Sawyer and Kate into the Others society? Turn these leaders and the rest may follow?

Theories:

Island is own sovereign state.
There is a secret on the island (maybe the island itself) and one group of Others is there to protect the secret while the other faction is trying to make it public.
Sun, Jin and Sayid will stumble upon something important or new on their trek back to camp (perhaps that 4 toed statue)
Others grew up on the island, perhaps children of DHARMA scientists or test tube babies, and then were abandoned, except for the DHARMA food drops. Perhaps they have special abilities (Ethan seemed to have great strength, Juliet may be psychic).
Dark Territory on the island where Rousseau lives may be the only section of the island not monitored by cameras. May be why she has chosen to live there.
Perhaps Benry worked in the Pearl Station at some point. That could be why he had told Locke to stop worrying about pushing the button; he knew the Swan station was just something to be observed.

Spoilers:

Back to Losties camp, where we know that Desmond (albeit naked) and Locke did survive the hatch explosion.
Locke is going to rescue someone (either Jack, Sawyer and Kate, or Eko, wherever he may be)

Karl, the kid in the cage near Sawyer who tried to help him escape, really is an Other. His attempt to escape, and his apology to Sawyer, was real. We will find out more about him by the end of the 6th episode.
There will be a flashback by an Other, but not for a while (perhaps even next season).
The Others are in other locations around the island, but are all part of the same group (maybe Ben's group is the good group, while the other faction(s) are what Ben considers evil. Ben's group may not have been the ones that killed the Tailes and took those kids in that Taily flashback episode.)
