[spoiler]I truly believe that Ben thought he actually had everything under control. Though I was neither shocked nor surprised, that she died. My quoting of that line, was not so much about what had just transpired, so much as the implications of it all being some game. I mean, I knew Ben was treating it like a game, however I didn't know it was "multiplayer"

and I certainly didn't know there were rules.[/spoiler]
On the recent episode 10.
[spoiler]I'm going to have a rant...
This whole going back and forth thing is getting really old for me now. I know they are trying to be witty with not putting time stamps on things, but I'm not even confused any more, just sick of being thrown into the future or back to the past.
Why the hell can't they have just gotten off the island and let nice lives after that? Why does Hurley have to have these "visions" that in turn stuff things up for everyone. Poor Jack can't just be "happy" because the crazy dead people keep interfering with stuff in his life. Hasn't the man gone through enough?
And what is the deal with Clare? We know she either dies or gets left on the island, but why does she do stupid things like follow her dad, who she knows isn't REALLY there, into the jungle with her baby? I don't think that would be a smart move under any circumstances... It's just a bit too crazy really.
I'd love to see the timeline that the producers have for this show, just so that WE could all be let in on a few things. I don't think it would spoil the affect for them to tell us what we are watching and if it was past, present or future.
I loved the opening scenes of Season 2 with Desmond down in the shaft thing, brushing his teeth, "Make Your Own Kind of Music" playing, him getting on the exercise bike... I really thought I'd downloaded the wrong thing. But now its happening so much that you just expect to be completely thrown, and that's no longer original.
Person number 6 = Sawyer. Couldn't see that coming... NOT!
Now we see the demise of their relationship...again, and all because of Sawyer...again, oh and because of what the dead alcoholic said to Hurley.
Who the hell is anyone to say "you shouldn't raise him". That's just rude... even if they are dead, they should keep their opinions to themselves.
Perhaps that is the segway the writers wanted "you shouldn't raise the baby because. . . Clare should, so go get her off the island."
Personally I think that she is going to be mighty annoyed that Kate is playing mummy, to the point of him even calling her mummy. That would be heartbreaking.. unless Clare is dead, and the last words she said was "Make sure you take care of him like I would have". I'm sure we will see that episode in 4 years or so if we're lucky.
*breathes* Ok, I think I'm done for now... I just needed to vent my Lost frustrations.
