Who's supposed to be c. 27 among the white guys in the first seasons?

Jack? Sawyer? Let's see if they name it after him.

Ben was born off-island and is already a grownup in the '80s when he liquidates the Initiative. Actually he may have arrived, or been about to, in '77.

I'm assuming it's not Boone or Charlie.

Ben decided to kill John (apparently) to prevent him from telling Sun that Jin was still alive--something he himself tells her to stop her from shooting him.

The issue of sides is unclear again; it's in the writers' interest to keep it reversing, too. You'd think Widmore's probably on Jacob's side, at the moment, but Eloise was working with Ben--if she and Widmore worked together he'd have told her not to trust Ben, surely?

The statue from the back seemed a bit animal.

They stepped up the pace in the last couple episodes, which were awful, I hope simply because they realized they needed a certain number of episodes free to bring things home properly. Tonight things seem to have stopped sucking, knock on wood.

What building were Cesar, John and Ben in, on the 2007 island?

You're assuming Ben needed her to go back at the time--Ben's acting like he cares about getting people back on the island, but there's reason to think that's no longer his major motivation, whereas it does seem to be his worst enemy's at the moment. If he's just after Penny or Widmore, he may have wanted her for some other reason. There was that unexplained violent altercation that marked him up, maybe related to what Kate refused to tell Jack about.

The music in the Ben-John scene strongly implied Ben's attention was wholly absorbed in the ring/Jin issue, and that his string-twangy sinister turn came then.
