Subject: One thing wrong with that theory.
In reply to: veggie 's message, "Speculation: Ben said "I have a man on the boat"..." on Sunday, February 10, 03:09:30am

It mostly makes sense, but didn't Ben lose contact with the outside world the same day he sent Michael off on that boat, when Desmond turned the failsafe key?

I like the way they tied in The Christiane freighter from "Find 815" into the show. I wonder if Sam will have a part to play?

The more I think about it, the more I believe Michael is Ben's man on the boat. My issue with it was that he must have had the info about Naomi's team before Desmond triggered the failsafe and knocked out the island's communication. But really, it's entirely likely that Ben left a more low-tech line of communication on the small boat for Michael to use to remain in contact, like a simple walkie.

This would then explain why Naomi's team is suddenly able to find the island; Ben directed Michael to her freighter to scout out what's going on onboard it, and Michael led them to the island.

The thing I'm sort of fuzzy on right now is how Dharma knows Desmond is on the island (as evidenced by Naomi's copy of Desmond and Penny's picture, and her orders to say that Penny sent her). Has that been explained already? I don't exactly remember all the details about when Desmond first arrived on the island, and what sort of contact he had with Dharma people. It's been awhile since that stuff aired, and my interest in the show hadn't quite developed into the full-on obsession it is now, haha.
