Ben's actions have completely thrown me, as I don't seem to be able to follow the thread. What I think I have settled on is that he was going to use Locke to get back, and then he snapped and killed him and had to adjust his plans and use Jack instead. Maybe he got angry because he knows that the only way Locke could know about Hawking is if Christian/Jacob told him, similar to when he shot him after finding out that he could hear Jacob?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155737107718849274noreply@blogger.com
