    I think the key word is "symptomatic". Perhaps her sickness was an after-effect of the implant's activation, i.e. she would start showing symptoms of whatever the implant was doing. Maybe it still was designed to make her sick but I don't think Ben knew all along he was going to use it to help Juliet.

    Didn't Ethan install the implant at the Staff? Perhaps Juliet was telling the truth about him working on his own, which might explain why the implant was never used before now. Alex seemed to think he was going to kill Claire.

    Nah Ben had to have known about the implant from the word go. He was most likely the one that ordered it to be implanted in the first place. After all we have seen of Ben we still don't know how he thinks and he surprises us over and over.

    I still find it hard to believe that they planned this so far back...it doesn't really make sense.
    It was probably only a month or two in Island time, not that hard to imagine.

    the implant was doing nothing for two months until it was activated.


    im sure that they did other tests on her when they took her, but the implant was to make sure sick, they may not have know who was going to be the hero. as juilette only found out the night before, it worked out that way due to jack, if a different other got close to a lostie, im sure they would of been sent

    What was the topic again ? oh yeah.......... Ben born on the island?

    Yes, 4th generation pirate if you ask me !! The Black Rock has to have some other part to play in this. Then again, i would like to see him with his shoes and socks off, count his toes...... :D

    Claire escaped from the Others though...

    If they put an implant in her this must mean that they planned to let her go? Or they knew that she would escape at some stage?...

    I have been saying for awhile now that we have forgotten too early about the Black Rock. This will have another part to play and may reveal some answers as to the origin of the Others.

    The rock with the hole in it or the dynamite-holding ship?

    I was just thinking last week, what happened to the cabin of the plane, I know the pilot was abducted by the monster but surely the black box and the cabin are still out there in the jungle and we haven't seen them in 2 and a bit seasons...

    Esau was the firstborn. His brother Jacob was born immediately afterwards, and was grasping Esau's heel. His name, Ya'akov (יעקב), derives from the Hebrew root "עקב," "heel." Commentators explain that Jacob was trying to hold Esau back from being the firstborn, and in that way claim the Abrahamic legacy for his own self. According to the text, Jacob was favoured by his mother, while Esau was favoured by his father.

    I mean the ship that had the skeletons and the dynamite. As for the cockpit of the plane, i presume it is still where the losties left it.

    Yeah mate, as my mate the Professor has said :). The women that become pregnant while on the Island died, but Claire/Rousseu were pregnant before they got to the Island.

    Hold on a second, is Sun not pregnant with Jin's child? I'm assuming they concieved it on the island..?

    Yes Sun is pregnant with Jin's baby, they did concieve it on the island also, but it most likely means Sun will die now.

    or abort it

    They have wanted a baby for so so long now, and were under the illusion that they would never have one. I can't see them aborting it now, not after longing for it for so long.

    Is'nt Ben & Rousseu the parents of Alex, So If Ben was Born on the Island, That means Rousseu and Ben made boom boom on the Island? Unless they went on Holiday and Alex was concieved there. Oh, its a mess! :D

    Ben is not Alex's biological father. The Others stole Alex from her mother and Ben passed Alex off as his own daughter.

    I mean think about it. If Alex found out that her real mother was out there in the jungle for 16 years you not think she would go and look for her mother. Ben didn't want that to happen so lied and said he was her father. He prob made up some crappy story about her mother and Alex believed it all. And why wouldn't she.
