Haha, I noticed that in the beginning too. There were a lot of things that I probably didn’t note because I wait until the commercials to type anything.

And how did you not note that this episode was directed by New Jack City’s Mario Van Peebles?!

Of all the things I’ve had a burning desire to know in regards to this show, the origins of Ben’s network has never been one of them. Not saying it’s not interesting, I’ve just never really wondered. I always assumed he stole resources from Widmore for whatever reason.

I know we’ve seen Ben using his network, but I’m curious where it actually comes from. Is it leftover Dharma stuff somehow? Off-island others? Other servants of Jacob who somehow have tons of money? I don’t think it’s a necessary mystery to answer, but I’ve always wondered about it.

Though it certainly *seemed* like Ben and his dad didn’t know that the island sank, it was never explicity stated that they didn’t know. But yeah, “Things would be awesome if we had stayed on the island” does pretty heavily imply they don’t know.

And Ben’s off-island network and resources have definitely been established. Sayid was part of that network and Ben has cash stashed everywhere that he stole from Widmore and other places.
