Frank, Mike and the Captain

Its been a while since my last theory posting session, so I thought I would ease back into it with a short, easy theory on Michael, Frank and Captain Gault.

When Michael first boards the freighter, Miles says that he isn't who he says he is. This seemed at first like an off-hand comment by Miles, but it soon got me to thinking, especially after the conversation between Mike and Frank.

Micael is of no importance on the boat, so it seemed VERY strange to me that Frank would start telling him details of how someone has planted a fake 815. But it was his last comment on the possibility of finding survivors that struck me as most strange.

Frank knew the manifest inside out, he said so himself when he informed everyone that Juliet wasn't on the flight. I think he knows that Mike WAS on flight 815. When the freighties get to the island and find survivors, NONE of them seem genuinely surprised to find that so many people have survived a plane crash, not only ANY plane crash, but a plane that was found under the sea. This is a point that is made by Sayid to Miles, who repiled with his usual sarcasm and wit.

To further this thought, when Sayid tells Captain Gault that Mike is in fact a spy for Ben, he doesn't seem the SLIGHTEST bit surprised. This also leads me to think that Frank knows Mike was on flight 815 and has told the captain.
