one question that came up in a conversation this weekend... during... something much cooler than talking about a weird scifi show, of course... where was ben during the plane crash?
in the episode from a few weeks ago that first showed the time flash/crash, ben was talking to jack in the back of the plane when he said he'd give jack some privacy, then left. it was when he left that the plane went all wonky. in the episode from this week, we saw the crash more so from the pilot's perspective, but also saw glimpses of the island folk and the rest of the first class, with no sign of ben.
ben only later appeared after the crash, completely unharmed and unnerved, when talking to sun and frank.
did he maybe have something to do with the crash, knowing that the flash would bring back the rest of the group? (and forcibly countering his previous statement that the island would not allow him to return?)
