ok, did anyone else cement the feeling that ben is not on his first trip through this time/reality loop they seem to be on??? like, say, the first time through that runway wasn\'t there and things got rough, so the next time through he had the runway built so he would have an easier time in the crash???
i just get the feeling that not only does he know exactly what\'s happening and why, but that he\'s trying to alter the potential future with that knowledge. like telling sun exactly where to go on the outrigger, where the dock would be and where to go once she\'s on the main island. whatever he needs accomplished, perhaps he was unable to the first time, and had to find the correct person to complete the upcoming task. he\'s not the butterfly who flaps its wings and create a hurricane somewhere else, but he can find that butterfly and set it up to flap at exactly the right time and place. and it certainly wouldn\'t be the first time he\'s taken a beating to move his pawns around.
also, did anyone else keep thinking that dialogue was being repeated, but by different characters?? ie, there was one point when i could swear that Lapidus made the same joke/comment that hurley had when he first crashed on the island. then, a little while later, i think it was the neo-sayid and the neo-anna lucia who had dialogue that seemed really familiar.... maybe i was just intoxicated, but i could have sworn there were some direct repeats in there last night....
i dunno, i don\'t remember them all, but i had a couple a-ha moments last night, where i felt like things were being hinted at if all the correct dots were connected correctly....
