Someone is watching Ben.

— WhatTheFoucault

I’ll make this quick.

Anyone notice the man in the blue suit in the window behind Ben while he was at the front desk renting a room in Tunisia? Over Ben’s right shoulder…he stands there the entire time, and even though the picture is blurry, looks an aweful lot like….Christian Shephard (and his blue suit).

If you watch it, it just seems really out of place in that context.

Maybe it’s Widmore; maybe it’s someone keeping an eye on Ben; maybe it’s Smokie; maybe Lost is just trying to F with me, but it’s definitely “something.”

    I just noticed that after looking back at that scene. Interesting.

    sounds cool, could you post a link to a still frame of the scene

    Great observation. Probably making way for a flashback in a future episode.

    It reminds me of Christian Shephard, and it is definitely out of place in the scene, as everybody else is wearing native clothes…it is out of focus, but definitely there.

    If you look at the next scene in the flashforward where Ben photographs Syed at the funeral, he arrives in a car labelled ‘PRESS’. Maybe the person driving was with him, keeping an eye on him. Christian Shephard working with Ben??? Verrrry interesting!

    Could anybody tell me how to get the image to show up here, instead of just the link?

    The person doesn’t seem to be wearing a suit… you can see the forearms. I would say it’s Hurley: looks a little overweigth and with long hair to me.

    Sorry, that was me… I was trying to get a good view of the shoot…
