    Default Scorecard - come back/don't come back

    I am trying to get straight who wants the 06 to come back and who does not.
    Ben - wants them to come back
    Richard Alpert - wants them to come back
    Charlotte - warns that no one should come back
    Dream version of Claire - does not want Kate to bring Aaron back

    And as far as I know, that's it. Everyone else expressing an opinion is colored by one of the above people's desire.

    Christian - has never expressed anything about it
    Jacob - he may or may not actually be speaking through Christian. Either way, no opinion
    Widmore - I generally assume that Widmore wants the opposite of whatever Ben wants, but I have no idea on this one.

    All the others, except Ellie Hawking, are just pawns--Jack, Kate, Hurley, etc--trusting in Ben or common sense or dreams of Claire.

    Anyone got any other info? I am curious as to where Widmore stands. He must be against it since it seems to serve Ben somehow. I think Ben, however, has some plan that differs to Alpert and his reason for wanting the 06 back.
    And if we see Claire and being with Christian, then they are on the side of "Do not come back!"
    And after Christian's thing last week about "I told you, not Ben, to turn the wheel" I think it is clear that he sometimes is not as clear as he should be. In other words, though he seemed to help Locke to finally turn the wheel, I do not think he is in favor of the plan to bring the 06 back.
    Any thoughts or opinions?

    I think that Ben must definitely have an ulterior motive for getting them back to the island, as it doesn't look like he should care too much about what happens to those people one way or another.

    hawking is ben's pawn? i would definitely lean towards the opposite being true. or them using each other equally.

    edit: i think it's safe to count charlie and ana lucia if you're counting claire.

    You missed one.

    Hawking is STRONGLY pro-return.

    She's the one giving Ben deadlines and ultimatums. ("God Help Us All!")

    Well Christian now has control of the Island as he was able to rid it of its two leaders - Ben indirectly and now sending John off. So he doesnt want any of them back.
    I cant wait until Ben finds out that Christian NOT Jacob was telling John what to do.
    Ben to John :"Who the F##k is Christian!!"

    Jacob/Christian definitely said the O6 have to come back. Unless I'm remembering way wrong.
    So punish me for weakness, blame me for everything.
    I don't like the suffering, I like the sympathy it brings.

    You're right, he even gives Locke a pep talk on the matteer. Christian is definitely on the 'come back' bandwagon.

    I have to say, I'm not sold on Charlotte's line. If I was dying on the Island I might say the same thing. "THIS PLACE SUCKS!" But really, I don't know if she was against it in the same way Hawking is for it-- those on Hawking's side of "go" are more concerned with great cosmic happenings ("god help us all") but there's no reason Charlotte would be all, "Don't save the world!"

    (and "don't save the cheerleader", haha )

    I think Daniel's thoughts are important. He seems to think bringing Desmond back will help more than the O6. In the last episode, he said that as far as bringing the O6 back, "that's where we leave science behind."

    I thought Charlotte just warned Jin to "not bring HER" back?
