Great episode! I have to admit, the redemption of Ben Linus at the end was something I never expected.

So, Ben and Roger left the Dharma Initiative, but from the conversation they had it seems they are unaware that the island sank. Danielle and Alex probably never were on the island, if they were they managed to escape. I'm still left wondering when and how the island was destroyed.

Agree with the Gift of Jacob being different for each person he touched. Or it may be that off the island the gift was simply becoming a candidate and being destined to go to the island at some point. Richard's gift had a more specific purpose on the island.

Richard, typically, doesn't divulge anything worthwhile even though he is trying to get himself killed. Frustrating.

Ilana said there were only six candidates remaining. Presumably she meant Jack, Hurley, Sawyer, Sayid, Jin and Sun even though Austin and three other names were not crossed out.

GRRRRR!!!

Widmore's coming! With a small crew on the sub. More red shirts?
