Couple things occured to me on this:
If Sawyer & Company are actually on the same timeline as the original Dharma Initiative, then I agree. Ms. Hawking was a firm believer in not being able to alter an event timeline once it was established (e.g., Desmond & the dude with the red shoes.) However, we have seen how the Losties--Locke in particular--
have been able to alter future events by interacting with people in the past (Richard, Jughead, etc.), so I'm not so sure now...
What if the island reset to the 70s and is now on a NEW timeline (i.e., it's along a different path/node?) Can't the Losties impact
that timeline, so that Sayid
could be successful? And what would that do to the Ben who is stuck in the present along a different timeline with Lapidus & Sun?
On a related topic: Ben continues to get his ass kicked week after week. This time by dear old dad.
