Was Ben pushing the FDW tonight in the opposite direction from the original broadcast? There was much discussion about how Locke pulled the FDW in a clockwise direction while Ben had pushed it. Is this and attempt by TPTB to correct this inconsistency? Or am I not remembering things correctly?

I believe you are right.

Ben pushed the wheel clockwise.

Locke pushed the wheel counter-clockwise.

I wonder if it makes any difference?

I thought they both turned it clockwise, but Ben pushed and Locke pulled?

They both turned it in the same direction.

In order to verify what happened, I would have to watch it again. Please don't make me do that. Huh... let me know what happens. I'll take your word for it.

P. S. LilMissRabbit, still like your avatar a whole lot. It's so rabbity. Or is it bunnyish? You know what I mean.

Locke pulled because he was hurt and needed leverage to get it back on it's track. It was skipping when Locked turned the FDW.

Ok. I THOUGHT originally that Ben had pushed the FDW counter-clockwise and John had pulled the wheel clockwise. Then in last nights revist of the events it showed Ben pushing the FDW clockwise. But, from the comments here, it looks like everyone believes that Ben pushed the FDW clockwise in both cases. Correct?
