I can't stand the condescension in some posters' replies...
Anyway, I appreciate this thread because it just made me consider something I hadn't before! You know how Widmore Industries sponsored the boat race Des was on? Maybe they sponsored an around the world balloon race too?!
Just read this thread for the first time, and as soon as I read the OP, this was my exact thought.
Was Henry Gale a previous failed(?) attempt by Widmore to get back to the island? Or at least to get Ben off of it? Is that the only way you can get back to the island if a previous leader, you have to get the current leader off of it?

It very well could have been! Maybe Henry Gale was another attempt by Jacob at "progress" or even by Blackshirt man as an attempt at a loophole? Maybe Widmore is an off-island facilitator for one of them?

unfortunately it seems that Gales story is over. Maybe TPTB will give us a flashback on how he came to be on the Island and his purpose and how he died. Curious to know who gave him a "proper" burial. maybe his wife is an Other now and she buried him before she got captured and recruited by them. Just shouting out random thoughts no real proof or reason i suggested it

As Ben says all through out since his first appearance, the Others have associates on and off the Island. Take in concideration that Emerson was only a "Temp".
I would like to think that once an other, always an other. The beef between you and another Other is between you two. The rest just hang in the temple and let it resolve.
