Why would Ben tape over the game?

— whynot

I think this was done to set a timemark. The beating happened between the day Ben showed the video to Jack, and the day Ben and the Others left the barracks in season 3.

I also find it interesting that Ben says “I taped…”. Was he actually filming the video o did he just copied onto another tape? The photo that Miles had seemed pretty recent, and it looked like an airport. Was Ben recently out of the island?

    I like your idea, not sure about ben taping it himself (although it does make sense that he said “I taped over…) but I do agree with your thought that he has left the island.

    The other thing I’m interested in is if he taped over the game wouldn’t the game still be on at the end of his short clip instead we saw static like it was brand new tape. Just curious.
