After last nights episode one does wonder what Ben's purpose is now.....follow Locke around like a puppy dog? He's been forbidden to attempt to usurp Locke anymore and since it appears that Locke really doesn't need Ben's help finding anything at this point just where does he fit in?

Is he simply just another "other"? A mere member of Locke's flock? If so, why did he even bother coming back to the Island? Seems to me he'd have more fun if he just left Locke, the Island et al....take his toys and go home so to speak:

Maaaybe Ben should just YAGE:

How might that go:

Well I'm gonna go then! And I don't need any of this! I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this and that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this picture of me and Alex. And this gun, the picture of me and Alex and the gun and that's all I need. And this donkey wheel. The picture of me and Alex, the gun and this donkey wheel, and that's all I need. And this Ajira water bottle. The picture of me and Alex, and this Ajira water bottle, and the donkey wheel and the gun. And this doll. The picture of me and Alex, this gun and the donkey wheel and the doll and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this! The gun, and the black baton thing, and the doll, and the Ajira water bottle, for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I am, some kind of a jerk or something? And this! And that's all I need. The picture of me and Alex, the gun, the donkey wheel, this black baton thing and the doll.

I've been wrong many times about this show.

I did not think of the comment in that light. Perhaps it was a threat.

And what are those whispers? Where do they come from? What are they saying?

Perhaps we have yet to learn what "bad things" Dharma has done. We know they lied to Ben's father about what they needed him on the island for. Maybe they killed puppies.
