[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3545753, member: 7883"] Interesting theory for an alternate sequence of events. If I had to guess, they don't say anything because: A) They all know the Others have kidnapped survivors before. B) They all know the Others are planning on kidnapping the women. C) The Losties have been quite clear about the fact that the Others can't be trusted. Specifically, Ben can't be trusted, because he's a consumate liar, and it's impossible to separate truth from fiction with him. D) Locke wants to stay on the island....so can he be trusted? I thought for a while about why Ben won't just open his yap and start spilling the goods. If he's soooooo desperate to "save the island", maybe he should stop manipulating that tribe of homesick survivors, and start actually dishing out some truth. I suspect that at this point, the Others have just pushed the survivors too far. You can't abuse people over and over, lie to them again and again, and expect them to trust you. Of course they're going to fight back. And of course they'll be reluctant to believe anything you say. Ben may be manipulative, but either there is some super-secret/important reason why he can't tell the survivors what's going on, or him and his gang of goons are complete morons, who've seriously miscalculated human nature, and how these survivors are likely to react. It's kind of interesting though. I was relfecting at the end of the episode about events on the island, and realizing a few things... 1-The Others actually haven't really killed many survivors. How many? Maybe one? 2-The survivors have killed *several* Others. As of last night, at least 10. 3-In the first season, the Frenchwoman talked about her crewmates going mad. 4-What if the survivors are actually the jungle savages, and the Others are the civilized ones? 5-All of this suposition could be invalidated by the fact that the Others murdered like 40 Dharma Initiative members in cold blood.
