Both Locke and Ben were born premature. Both Locke and Ben grew up without their mother. Ben's died at child birth and Lock's mother rejected him. When Locke (age 5) was tested by Richard, and failed, that's the year Ben was born. When Locke rejected the science camp, his second opportunity, Ben and his father were going to the island. Either Locke was supposed to be the chosen, or Ben was and Locke is going to usurp it and make a mess of things.

Everyone expected that Christian was going to be apart of something, but what a curveball Claire was! Has she been apart of the mystry of the island from the begining? Although I doubt that because unless she is an oscar actress, I don't think anyone could've been able to pull off her naivity. So when did her status of innocent mother change into mysterious, creepy ghost-friend? I think this is a great twist and I can;t wait to see where it will go I thought the end of that episode was one of the best this season.

Especially now that you can draw even more parallels between Ben and Locke's lives. good stuff Phil, there has been a lot of very similar theories to what you mentioned floating around the web lately.

"Confirmed Dead" (about the freighter science team) was all flashbacks, as was "The Constant," "The Other Woman," and "Meet Kevin Johnson."

He is going to be the first 'other' or Jacob himself (remember the 'help me' line?). I also think Ben is to Widmore as Locke is to Ben. That is to say that a destiny is up for grabs. In a way Ben was living Lockes' destiny and Widmore might just be trying to buy his way into that destiny. I think that Locke is somehow going to move the island to the point of the Black Rock.

Would be interesting if that turned out to be a hueg game changer. I’m with Maija on the moving, I think it’ll be moved in time rather than geographical location.

Either way, same idea. I think Walt's comic showed a city in a bubble being taken into space. I like how that came together after all this time. Moving the island might explain why only six made it off -- the island might have moved before they could go back for the rest, which both saved those who remained and prevented them from being rescued. Looks like we'll see next week. Was the comic book the same one Walt found in season one? Either way, same idea. I think Walt’s comic showed a city in a bubble being taken into space.

What I want to know is how they're going to move the Island. I think they're going to move it to another time rather than geographical location. Or maybe both, if they can manipulate time in order to accelerate the movement of tectonic plates or something crazy.

It keeps you constantly guessing and theorizing as you watch it and just when you have stopped thinking about it, it's time for next week's episode. there are hundreds if not thousands of theories for every little thing floating about and each and every one sounds plausible as you read it. The game/rules are constantly changing and evolving. I love it. Interesting theory too mark, that ALSO plays into Miles' line that I posted on above.

Of course, where her body went to is also a question that would need answering.
