    So you think our new crash victim is working for the Others then?

    I don't think so, would be a bit too complex to do, especially as they already have Julie as a spy in the camp. And I'm beginning to believe that the Others are The Good Guys, or at least not the ultimate Bad Guys.

    If this Naomi, like her namesake, is working for the 'Bad Guys', then perhaps she is working for Penelope's father. (A rich industrialist like Stromberg in the Bond film).

    We've assumed that she is sent by Penelope to pass a message to Des, what if she was sent by the father and has come to kill Des.

    Because, well because Penny has used her 'enough time and money' to find Des and is close, and the father will do anything to stop this relationship.

    I'm making loads of guesses without evidence by the way, but its fun to theorize. :)

    The Others plan to use Juliet as a spy in the losties camp is going to backfire big time. Ben is going to get such a kick in the .... that he won't know what hit him. Juliet will turn her back on the Others. I can see her playing along with the Others only too, at the last moment reveal she has sided with the Losties. Ben seems to always force people to do things. Anytime we see him telling people to do something, it is because he makes them believe they are doing it for themselves. Juliet is starting to doubt Ben and it is this doubt that will lead to a large fallout amongst the Others.

    Linderoff has firmly denied that the box that Ben was talking about is real, said something along the lines of it would have been the stupidest idea in the history of stupid ideas. It was meant metaphorically and the use of the box metaphor was because Locke worked in the box factory and Ben thought Locke would understand it.
    I found it pretty funny that people were wondering where this box is, or if they could wish for a new sub.
    It was plain as day that it was a metaphor. Even more so when we seen lockes dad, Ben was taking about his dad in the cell all along, with the intention of showing him. People are really thinking way too much into alot of aspects of lost.

    Many of us knew that Ben was speaking metaphorically. I don't think people thought there was an actual physical box in the middle of the jungle that when you wish for something, it comes true....

    I saw it more as a metaphor for what the others can do, to say that they can get whatever they want.

    I thought it was a box. With wrapping paper. :(

    They only have to request it and "Jacob - The Island" will make it so.

    I never thought about it like that.

    The box that Ben speaks of could be Jacob. When Ben needs something (especially if it's something that will get someone 'special' like Locke on the Others side), than Ben just asks Jacob.

    Well in a way, I think that Jacob has just set a higher goal for the Others to achieve. Now we can assume that this goal may be to find out what it causing the problem for the Others and how this can be rectified. I don’t think that Jacob actually makes things happen. Jacob would most likely tell Ben he/she wants some thing done, he doesn’t really care how Ben achieves it, as long as it is achieved.
