I think that Ben's 'rescue' of John wasn't one at all and that he knew that John would have to die to return to the island. I'm just not sure whether Ben rescued and killed John in order to get to what John told him or whether he did it because it had to happen this way. Maybe a suicide, a self-sacrifice wasn't enough, for John to be a sacrifice he had to be killed by someone else.
Oh and Terry O'Quinn is indeed terrific, in German we'd probably say he is a "Charakterkopf", i.e. his head, his face are unique.
