Lost season three - right around the corner

[Ghoulish Delight]

So what is it about Ben that makes the hostiles/natives not only accept him but let him run things? Why did Richard seem so interested and certain about Ben seeing his mom? Is Ben fulfilling some sort of prophesied role for the hostiles/natives? Are they humoring him to get what they want? Hmmmm

I'm sort of guessing that Ben was considered some sort of prophet, etc. But with the arrival of Locke, the so-called Hostiles are beginning to wonder if they got the wrong man the first time around, and maybe it's Locke. I'm also wondering if it's sort of a toss up between Ben, Locke and Jack. Jack, who has seen visions of his dead father.

And, seriously, what DADDY issues the writers must have, and some of the writers came from the Joss Whedon Buffy/Angel camp, shows also rife with serious Daddy issues. It KILLS me.

I was thinking this last night.

Kate kills her step-dad (do we know what happened to her bio dad?)
Jack and his dad
Locke's dad steals his kidney and tries to kill him
Sawyers dad is killed [by Locke's dad]
Sun and her mob-dad
Jinn and being ashamed of his dad
Claire and Aaron's dad
Ben and his dad

Who else?

Turns out that Craphole Island really is the Land of Bad Dads. (Do I see a Disneyland ride in the future?)
