[QUOTE="bmaninc"]My full theory: The 3 concerts (Miles, Jack, Desmond) are all the same. This would presumably place Sawyer, Kate, Sayid, Miles, Widmore, Charlie, Eloise, Charlotte, Jack, Juliet (ex wife), Desmond, Daniel, and Hurley in the same place. Perhaps Claire as well. I think that the alternate timelime is actually the epilogue of the entire story. The happy ending, so to speak. Locke would be able to walk, Linus would have Alex and perhaps Rousseau, Jack has a happy relationship with his son, Hurley is lucky, etc. I also think the point of the Alex scene in What They Died For was to sort of remind us about Miles' powers regarding the dead. This would set up a return for Miles to the barracks where he would receive information from Widmore. In the episode, Ben went with the MIB because he was promised the island to himself after the MIB leaves the island. Yet, at the end of the episode, the MIB says, in front of Ben, that hes going to destroy the island. This would leave Ben with the task of stopping him, so a potential double cross is in the works.MrGeezer
I think that Ben was double-crossing MiB all along. Yes, even when he killed Widmore. Despite the fact that Ben has a VERY good reason for wanting to kill Widmore, I don't think that's why he actually did it. I think he did it in order to keep Widmore from gving Locke any information. And Locke wouldn't suspect anything, because prior to season 6 that's exactly how Ben acted (see: when he killed Keamy).
He stayed behind to ally himself with Locke, in order to betray Locke. Listen to when he says, "I just didn't realize that the monster was summoning me". Remember how hard Ben took it when he felt that Jacob had cast him aside?
Ben doesn't want the island all to himself. Why would he? Do you remember how pointless he felt his existance was after finding out that he was deceived by Jacob and then tricked into killing him? Do you remember when he gave up the promise of power in order to side with the woman who was trying to kill him? Do you remember when he said that the only reason he was going to join Locke was because "no one else will have me"? So why would he suddenly turn evil now, when the monster who led him astray offers him ownership of a lonely ass island in which just about everyone is now dead?
I guarantee you...Ben is doing his same old treachery. The only difference is that we're led to believe that he's betrayed "the good guys". While in actuality, he's still on the side of "the good guys". He's just getting closer to Locke so that he can be in a better position to stab Locke in the back.
It's been 6 seasons. Ben is on Ben's side. Good and evil are just words thrown around by those in control. It's really not much of a shocker what Ben does anymore, even killing Widmore.
Also, why is everyone convinced that Jack's wife is going to be Juliet? It's obviously Kate, since they're going to be together!
... more to the point, was David introduced prior to season 6 or is he strictly part of the alternate timeline? Oh and remember Jack was married to some other woman before so...
