One other thing occurs to me...*why* would *some* of the crew of the 
freighter (Daniel and Charlotte) go to the trouble (and risk) of disarming

the poison gas, if their goal was to wipe out everyone on the island and
not 
to capture Ben Linus as they have said?  Why not set if off?

One more thing I have mentioned before.  When Ben sent off the three to
the 
Temple, it was said that it was a place only for the Others.  Since when
is 
Danielle considered one of *them*?
