Anyone else besides me wonder what kind of relationship if any Desmond and Ben may have. I think this will be explored even further as Ben goes after Penny if that ever happens. I find it hard to believe that Ben didn't have any contact with Des during Des' 3 years in the hatch. I am sure Ben knows who Desmond is and his background, but just makes me wonder if they had any encounters during those 3 years.

I am thinking Desmond may be the pawn or the savior in this whole story line. Can't wait for tonights episode

To me, it seems strange they havent had an contact with one another...especially considering Des's strange abilities. Even if they have no kind of relationship right now, im guessing that'll change to animosity once Ben decides to go after Penny.
