Ben 'always has a plan'. good job! i actually LOVE this theory. i completely agree with it. it seems unlikely that someone as manipulative as Ben can be that hugely manipulated. Ben ‘always has a plan’.
good job!

Especially recently, Ben seems to have been more reactive then proactive. It feels as though he is maniacally trying to 'patch things up' but doesn't know quite what he is patching up if you get me. I remember reading somewhere that Ben was only originally meant to small number of episodes, and, more recently, that the ending of Lost has never changed since the show started. With this in mind, I really have started to think that Ben have served his time as a plot device and can serve as a pretty impressive red herring to us as viewers (but I suppose that is a plot device of sorts :-s). I could be wrong, but I think he's simply a pawn in the whole Backgammon/Chess game that is expendable and near his end. In a parallel with the writers - who may have used to him to extend the Lost franchise at the request of the television networks :-D But I could be way off here so please feel free to correct me.....

But what I do hope, is that when we get the last Ben Linus story, that it is one largely of redemption. We'll learn more about Annie, and we will find out just what he has left up his sleeve. And I hope its all for the greater good. He will be a sacrifice to the greater good in this episode. And hopefully some of the Ben haters will realize that some of the bad things he did were necessary. There must be something up that sleeve though. If you will recall at the beginning of season 5, when he is in a motel with Jack, he removes a package from the air conditioning duct. We haven't found out what that package is yet.
