We Both Know Your Father

[JBRam]

Two things:

One: BEN IS ALEX'S DAD?!?!?!

I'm guessing that he just took her in and that she isn't really his biological child. What do you think?

Two: Juliet said that if Alex left that Ben would kill Carl. Any insight into this?

[HanginWithMrEko]

I just assumed that he played Dad so that there wouldnt be any questions. Make it easier to keep in line.

Carl seems to be dating the wrong girl... he was in a cage, then in a brain washing room, and now if his gf leaves with him, he dies... time to start dating outside the hatch...

[JBRam]

You know that won't work. Long distance relations never last

[this is some crazy stuff]

This really didnt make alot of since to me because he got on the boat with Kate and Sawyer so if she went to then how would Ben kill him???

[jillybean4u]

Here's a question i have about Ben & Alex. And well Danielle, too.  Do we know what Danielle's husband's name was.  He was on the boat with her right?  Danielle said something about the sickness or whatever took them.  Did she actually have proof they died?  Could Ben be her husband?

Probably a long shot, but that's the first thing I thought of.

[HanginWithMrEko]

well, she cut him out of the net w/ Sayid, so I doubt he's the husband...

I think she did the say the husand was w/ the science team and that she killed him... not positive on that, but for some reason that was what I remembered.

[JBRam]

I'm curious about that too, Jilly... I don't believe that's true, because I think that Ben's been on the island a very long time (if he's trustworthy, he's been on the island his whole life).

I bet that Ben could find Carl on the Island, no problem. Remember, Ben has the sailboat, so he can travel between the two islands easily. Plus they have the sub.

She didn't trust Ben at all. She said he was one of the OTHERs. Sounds like either a paranoid lady or an ex....

I wondered that exact thing jillybean4u, makes me want to go back and watch that episode where she was talking about it.  My guess is he could have been her husband and Alex's real dad.  Hense the desire to take Rousseau's baby because it was his own flesh and blood.  

Think about this though, remember Rousseau put an arrow in Ben after he got out of the net.  There didnt seem to be a surprised look on either of their faces when they saw each other.

IF Ben is Alex's biological father, and Rousseau is her biological mother, then Ben & Rousseau were hooked up in some way about 16 years ago... definitely interesting...
...and if he adopted her... Ben as a father?  even more interesting...

How can we be sure that Rousseau hasn't been an Other the whole time, and stationed on the island to interact sincerely with our islanders?

JB,

What kinda crazy girls have you dated?!

Ben had been hanging around in the net for a while before Sayid cut him down. Also, I'm pretty sure that Danielle and Ben would know who each other were. If not, then Ben would know who Danielle was, and Danielle would have not been too surprised to catch another person in her nets.

Just one my fiancee.

Do you call torturing Sayid and stealing Aaron "acting sincerely"?

[HanginWithMrEko]

i doubt Danielle is an other... she had her hands on Aaron and was later tracked down... Aaron seemed to be all the Others wanted for a while, and could have had it.

Plus she helped Claire escape when she was pregnant... if they turned her into an Other, they would have to explain why she didnt just keep claire/aaron
