So, Michael doesn't count?

I don't think the "Oceanic 6" includes everyone who, at some point in the future, is off the island.

I assumed it was 6 people who were rescued together and came back to civilization together in a huge, massively publicized fanfare. Which is why people recognized Jack, Kate, Hurley, et al., wherever they went.

Michael -- and Walt -- wouldn't be a part of that since they had previously left the island, in a boat, not as part of a rescue mission.

I meant Sun's baby when I posted that, Cindy. Also, CINDY!

Amy! I want a cigarette.

I have a strong suspicion that Sun's apt is bugged. I think that also might be why Hurley & Sun kept up appearances.

Ooh, that makes sense Le N!

I keep thinking about Sayid killing people for Ben, and the fiction about the number of survivors that Jack & Kate are keeping up. The only time they acknowledged the truth was in a parking lot away from buildings and people.

I also was intrigued by the ship's captain talking about the amount of resources that it would take to fake flight 815's crash.

If Ben is behind that - he would likely bug the Oceanic 6 to make sure they kept this secret that Ben wants to protect so badly.

I am also wondering if Kate's nanny is a Ben employee.

I thought that the lurker in the doorway during Sun's delivery was an Oceanic employee.

And I totally agree about the bugging.

Maybe the other people that Hurley was glad weren't going to be there are Oceanic officials.

Are the Anti-Ben forces necessarily better than Ben? Or could they be more evil (and be the ones behind any bugging)?

I spotted a random amusing thing the other day - the new big bad guy they introduced pre-strike... Well, he's cast in Spamalot now. So he's out the picture for the rest of the season - d'oh!

Colin,

no one else on the show thus far has gassed an entire community of people. So until someone emerges who ups Ben on this score, I'm going with Ben as the AntiChrist for $200, Alex.
