The issue was against having a child with a non Other or off the island woman or whatever. <BR/><BR/>That said I agree Ben broke the rules as well and I too think he left the island frequently. I wonder what his excuse was, though. "Okay, going off into the woods by myself for a week..." and then he sneaks onto the sub or a boat? Seems like it'd be tough to leave in secret.Kyle Litkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444986881762426741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202462995257505408.post-92180573156587967062009-04-09T10:42:00.000-04:002009-04-09T10:42:00.000-04:00Ben has definitely left the island, because either...Ben has definitely left the island, because either Faraday or Miles showed Kate and Jack the photos of Ben in their little "mission portfolio" at the beginning of Season 4. That explains his connections at the butcher shops, etc. I don't think the reasons he gave for expelling Widmore were particularly valid, considering he went on to break both of them by stealing a child and by leaving the island frequently.Matt Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205441300628635156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202462995257505408.post-3099067911562388132009-04-09T00:48:00.000-04:002009-04-09T00:48:00.000-04:00Well, I suspect Ben did leave the island. I can't ...Well, I suspect Ben did leave the island. I can't remember if it was confirmed, but he had all those passports and stuff hidden away, and for someone who was essentially on the island since he was a small child, once he did leave via the wheel, he seemed fairly knowledgeable of what he was doing, finding Sayid very quickly, having people under his command, etc. I actually always just assumed he had...now I wonder if he was doing it in secret the whole time.<BR/><BR/>I'll go into more detail later on, just wanted to mention that now.Kyle Litkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444986881762426741noreply@blogger.com
