But I still think the Others have some control over the thing, at least to some degree beyond the fence - I believe they can sic it on people or targets like a trained attack dog.Jack never really wanted to be a leader, but ended up in the position by default. However he and Sawyer may dislike it, I expect he will return to that position. But it is funny to see Hurley become proactive and manipulative. He might make a suitable candidate for the Others.I think the operative question is why did the Others flee the village is why? It seems an overreaction if they are fleeing - or even just temporarily retreating - so as to avoid the castaways. However, it is probably a ploy on Benry's part and is designed to manipulate them as much as it is to manipulate the castaways. However, the show does need to present a solid reason for not returning to the village.</blockquote>
