"Lost" clues: "The Glass Ballerina" Ep. 2 Season 3

Synopsis:

The Others put Sawyer and Kate to back-breaking work busting up rocks at a building site and Ben continues trying to break Jack's will power. Meanwhile, a band of Others manage to steal the sailboat from Sayid, Jin and Sun.

Clues, observations, speculation:

* "Henry Gale" tells Jack that his real name is Benjamin Linus and that's he's been living on the island all his life.

* "Linus" is the name given to all three sons of Apollo, according to this poster. Last season, Apollo candy bars are discovered in the Hatch. And the giant statue seen by Sayid, Sun and Jin last season looks sorta Greek...

* On the other hand, Ben Linus sounds a bit like "been lying to us," notes this poster.

* Is Ben the son of Dharma Initiative funder/founder Alvar Hanso?

* Ben promises to return Jack to the outside world if Jack agrees to do "one thing" for him.

* Ben tells Jack the Others are in contact with the outside world. To demonstrate, he brings out a TV set and shows a video of the 2004 World's Series.

* Ben is shown spying on Kate and Sawyer via a closed-circuit TV. Many TV screens are shown so he likely can spy on lots of other people this way as well.



* When Ben and Juliet learn Sayid and the rest have a sailboat, Juliet says "What's the worry, so they'll sail around in circles." This reinforces the idea that it's tough to navigate away from the island. Is this due to electromagnetic anomalies or something else? Ben, on the other hand, really wants the boat. Bad. We're not sure why.



* While at the work site, Alex (daughter of the French woman Danielle and one of the Others') secretly makes contact with Kate. She asks Kate about Karl, who was being kept in the same cages as Sawyer and Kate. Presumably, Karl is the Other we saw trying to escape the cages in episode one.



* What are the Others' building at the construction site?

* Are the other, um, Others working at the site prisoners too?

* It seems clear the Others are doing their best to break down Sawyer, Kate and Jack any way they can. Do they hope to brainwash them?

* In flashbacks, Sun's father orders Jin kill Jae,the man Sun slept with. However, Jin isn't told that Sun was unfaithful. Jin beats Jae but stops shorts of killing him. Jae later jumps (or was he pushed?) from a hotel window and dies. Is Jae the father of Jin's baby?



* Jae was in room 1516 of the hotel.

* Did Colleen, the Other who Sun shot, die?



* Colleen and Juliet seems quite unfriendly to one another. Why?
