Ben is Wanted on Lost

Why Do the Rescuers Want Ben Linus?

Olin Froid
Tonight, episode two of the fourth season of Lost premiered on ABC. Lost has started season four with the episode "The Beginning of the End", and continued on with today's episode "Confirmed Dead".

The arrival of so-called survivors has the entire island worried and questioning their true motives. Are they there to help? Are they there to hurt? What exactly is their true motives? What really is their "primary objective?"

Daniel, Miles, Frank and Charlotte. What is the end game of these men and woman? We have a physicist, a ghost buster, a drunk pilot and an anthropologist-what is their purpose? What was Naomi's purpose? Why are they after Ben Linus? And why oh why do they keep giving us so many questions??

I am interested in the answer. I am interested in the want for Ben Linus in this case. I feel that the man he has on his boat is someone we already know and love, that man has got to be Michael. Yes, Michael who left a while back with Walt. He may be the one on the freighter, acting as Ben's liaison, giving all of the information that they need. Or is it a character we don't know?

I also believe that they are Dharma. They want Ben Linus dead because of what he did to the group years ago, but somehow he has kept them away, he has made sure no one gets back. If they can get Ben, they can figure out what happened to Dharma from the island back to the land, since Dharma had a presence when the recruited Juliette. Ben must be captured and taken back, because whoever really runs Dharma....probably Alvar Hanso and his group, want answers from Ben.

I can't wait for the next week! Also, who is the Oceanic Six? Read my reasoning, my ideas. I think I add in Claire and Aaron instead of Kate and Ben. That is my updated ideas. What are your thoughts on this idea?

    Great ideas! I think that we have to throw Walt in the picture somehow....what's up with Walt giving Locke orders to keep Naomi from bringing her people to the island? Where is Walt?

    Very interesting Olin! :)

    Hmmm...good thoughts! Especially the Kate not being part of the Oceanic 6. I didn't think about her being a convict...murderer at that!

    but is she? or did she make it off another way perhaps? just a thought on how a convict isnt in prison in the flash fwd

    obviously kate is part of the oceanic 6. she was in the season finale, which was a flash forward, proving she got off the island. duh.
