And another pair of predictions ...

... mainly because I'm trying to average at least one post a day and have about two more hours to get the 31st post in for March to stay on track that way.

So:

- I predict that Ben Linus ends up with the Scepter of the Guardian (if not him, then Hurley).

- I predict that The Island turns out to be a sort of template from which the "real world" is continuously generated; anything that endangers it endangers reality as such, and the reasonably continuous presence of both Jacob and the Man in Black is necessary to its continued stability. Jacob's down with that, which is why he has undertaken the duty of finding and appointing guardians to ensure that it's so; the Man in Black, obviously not so much.
