No, but why waste time? Keep the viewer interested.

Interlopers who have also tele****ted to the same spot that Ben and the
polar bear have previously? They didn't look to happy to see Ben,
regardless of where he came from.

How do we know how far away the were when ben awoke? Maybe they were
riding by and saw ben arrive.
I still feel this is moot, because, really, it's just a ****ing story
device, but how about this: Weird **** happens, and people sometimes
coincidentally show up just in time to see it. IT HAPPENS. Car
accidents, frozen toilet waste falling from the sky, meteors...need I go
on. Not everything coincidental indicates conspirsacy

Okay, forget for a moment that you're a nimrod that believes this stupid
conspiracy bull****. Please to be indicating a better way to indicate 1)
the date to the viewer and 2) the fact that Ben needs to know it because
he is unsure.
I mean, what are you gonna do? Have him look at a calendar/paper and
have him mutter "Man, I'm glad I looked at that, seein as how I was
unsure of the date!" That's ****y writing.

Because he's been there before? The woman at the counter asked if he had
been to the hotel before, and he indicated he had, but not for a while.

Yeah, no one emerging from the Sahara desert is dirty and disheveled!
They're usually dressed in top hat and tails! Regardless of your dumb
argument, I'd still hardly called what happeend "making a scene". Jack
at the air****t desk yelling at a poor woman? Making a scene. Quietly
asking a slightly strange question to one person with no one around? Not
making a scene.
