I figured the island would take care of the intruders itself. Why the need to move it?

As I've stated before, I think it's on a different "plane" of existence so theoretically, it can be moved.

the two would have nothing to do with eachother.

John's mother and Ben's mother are the same person, having children with two different men. He would never have to be reunited with anyone. plus, the "mother" that John knows is only a foster mother.

Hmmm. I'm not buying that at this point.

The producers went out of their way (IMO) to show the 15 year-old Emily being younger version of the mother (Swoosie Kurtz) who showed up in Season One as John's mother (the very red lipstick was a dead giveaway, as were the mannerisms). And John's foster mother in this episode had none of the same mannerisms of Swoosie Kurtz portrayal.

Additionally, how would John's foster parents come in contact with his "real" father anyway?

Furthermore, she's listed as Emily Annabeth Locke for Season One of Lost according to IMDB.

What didn't make sense to me is why moving the island would save them when the helicopter was already on it.

It might not save them, but it might save the island.

Technically, the chopper wasn't on it yet. But I don't know how fast the island can be moved, so you may have a point.

What episode was it when it was discovered Locke and Ben have the same father? I'm pretty sure I missed that....

Per darkufo: Richard Francis Burton.

Sir Richard Francis Burton KCMG FRGS (March 19, 1821 – October 20, 1890) was an English explorer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, ethnologist, linguist, poet, hypnotist, fencer and diplomat. He was known for his travels and explorations within Asia and Africa as well as his extraordinary knowledge of languages and cultures. According to one count, he spoke 29 European, Asian, and African languages.

He is also the first non-muslim European to have made the hajj.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Francis_Burton

Fascinating chap. I'm intrigued a high school kid would have his picture in his locker.

Also, the cover of the Secondary Protocol pretty much confirms the link between Widmore and DHARMA. However, the symbol on the cover matches the symbol for the as-yet unseen "Orchid". The center spiral also reminds me a great deal of the old TV show "The Time Tunnel".

There was also an interesting interview with Lindenhoff and Cuse linked at darkufo.

Among the findings in this interview:

* The question is not whether Claire is dead but “What happened to Claire?”
* Christian Shepard is dead.
* Time travel is definitely happening on this show.
* Sounds to me like Richard Alpert is doing it. (Remind me later of a theory I have relating to time travel and the knocking up of Losties' moms!)
* They were surprised by today's "announcement" of two extra episodes in season five and six.
* They know whom Kate will end up with in the very end.

Good stuff. Yes, that is an interesting choice for a high schooler. I caught the Dharma symbol, but I didn't realize it was the Orchid.

I have an intriguing question.

If Sayid left on the little boat hours before the doctor on the freighter was killed, then shouldn't Sayid have already been on the island at the time of the discovery of the dead doctor?

Also, something to think about.

At the time Daniel Faraday sent that Morse Code message on the island, the other freighter people (Keamy, etc.) were on the island as well, but they didn't get the message until they were back on the ship.
