[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 3154821, member: 4090"] Going to the Pearl is part of the plan to rescue Jack. They are hoping to get info on the other hatches, or a means of communicating with them or the Others. Well, to be fair, the Others didn't know who was on the plane until they went there (or seemingly so), so Ben wouldn't have known that Jack was a neurosurgeon until after he'd sent Ethan over there. But once he found out, yeah- I heartily agree that it would have been a much better idea to just go over to the Lostaways with open arms, and he probably could have gotten Jack to operate then and there. Pretty dumb to make enemies of them if he'd really known this all along. I could see where it might have been a part of the plan to have Jack "see" the x-rays (since he did make the comment, "leave him there a little longer" after whatserface died- maybe hoping Jack would see the x-rays and "make the connection") but that theory was pretty well shot once Ben and Juliette had their little exchange about Jack seeing the x-rays.
