While I thought that the World Series scene was a good way to prove that the Others do get information about the outside world, I thought they could have chosen something different. I believe that the Others would be concerned about who gets elected (Ben told Jack that Bush was re-elected) but I don't think they would show as much enthusiasm in baseball (or sports in general) as Ben showed.
"No really, they were down 3 games to none and won 8 straight." You really have to be a fan of baseball to understand the signifigance of coming back from 0-3 to win a series. Maybe it's just nitpicking, but it kind of bugged me. I'm sure the audience appreciated the use of the Red Sox example, but I just don't think the Others would have a very large interest in sports. Ben especially, since he was born on the island. He wouldn't have been surrounded or exposed to the craziness that surrounds Red Sox fans, so why would he be so enthused?
