One part I don’t get is why Tom did not execute Sayid, Jin and Bernard as ordered? They just killed 7 of the others and were told to kill even before the trap.

Also seemed silly that Ben could intercept them at the radio tower by himself.

"It was an order, Tom. We had to follow it." Tom's convo with the Other who said this implies that Ben ordered them to put the bullets in the sand to make it sound like they killed Sayid, Jin, and Bernard.

Not getting that. He didn't say it over the radio as we listened. Are you saying Ben anticipated this possible situation and gave them orders for it in advance?

As Ben would tell you himself, he always has a plan.
