Cabin Fever - 05-08-08

	•	Posted by Alaine on May 8, 2008 01:51 PM While watching the "Cabin Fever" preview last week, I noticed that Horace Goodspeed (the man who said he had been dead for 12 years) had a nose bleed. It looked just like Desmond and Minkowski's in "The Constant" How does a dead man bleed?
	•	Posted by shoe on May 8, 2008 09:26 PM holy crap... awesome episode... lots of new questions... 1) Was Keamy (sp?) wearing a forcefield or something? How come the bullet from the captain's gun didn't touch him? 2) What does Claire know now that the rest of us don't? And how is she getting better looking by the minute? 3) By what miracle are these idiots on the freighter going to engulf the island in flame? What did they pack on the helicopter, a friggin can of gasoline or something? Unless they've got nuclear-tipped tomahawks somewhere in the belly of the freighter or some crap like that, it ain't gonna happen. The island's not enormous, but it's big enough that you need to have real air support to execute on a threat like that. 4) Those contingency plans or whatever that Keamy ripped out have Dharma logos on them. If he and Widmore are tied to Dharma and they want to kill everyone on the island, wouldn't the mechanism of the food drops have been an easier way to go about it? 5) If Ben's "reign" over the island is in fact brief in time and was not intended to be a permanent thing, then why was Widmore's argument with Ben in the previous episode? Why not with whatever body corporate actually controls the island? That seemed like it was a very personal thing between two men, but the events of today show that Ben's power is a power of position, not an inherent power of himself. That is to say, he's nothing and would be nothing were it not for the fact that some powers that be decided that he should be king of that island... Any ideas?
	•	Posted by narda on May 8, 2008 10:45 PM Okay, so how come Richard has not aged since that late 1950's? that is what i wanna know... 2nd - Locke drawing smokie at a young age = time travel? Or enlightened? AND the dude that saw Locke in the hospital...same dude that visited hurley in the hospital after the Oceanic 6.
	•	Posted by Bridget on May 8, 2008 11:20 PM So, is Claire dead, then? And Locke's basically been scouted for the island his whole life? Loving the show, but I hate to have to wait a week in between episodes!
	•	Posted by Mike on May 8, 2008 11:26 PM Very interesting questions, questions I'm sure none will be answered til next season! Argh!!! Anywho.....I always like Locke stories and this was okay, I mean did we really need to learn again he had a bad childhood? But the scenes with Richard and Abbadon were pretty cool. Richard has to be immortal, it only make sense how he can still look the way he is 50 years later! I was really hoping Christian was Jacob...but it looks like I'm wrong again! Gah!!!! Why cant we see Jacob now!? and what do you mean by 'representing'!? Is he dead or not!? None of it makes sense....Guess we'll have to wait next year for answers, and yes I know we still have a finale but let's be honest....none of this is being answered now.
	•	Posted by Tugboat on May 9, 2008 04:08 AM Starting to think that Richard is really Jacob, if not maybe the man who worked at the hospital with Locke. Just a thought.
	•	Posted by Andy on May 9, 2008 05:45 AM Did anyone cacht the Darmah insignia on the first page of the 2nd protocal booklet.seeing claire and christian together in jacobs house gave me the heebie geebies. The ending was better than the begining of the show, i was getting a little bored.
	•	Posted by Morgan on May 9, 2008 05:58 AM Christian told Lock to move the island. I'm guessing that's connected to Ben's comment to Widmore. Widmore said something along the lines of, "that's my island." Ben retorted by saying either, "If you can find it." or "You'll never find it." Maybe that means Lock was successful in "moving the island". I agree, Claire was very comfortable and cool being there without her son and being there with Christian. WTF!!!! Freakin awesome episode! Even my husband watched it with me and he has never seen the show before! PnS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	•	Posted by Cuz on May 9, 2008 06:28 AM What about the commercials out of control. Never going to watch on Thurs night again. Shame on you ABC, the episode would have been great if I could have been given the chance to get into without the constant commercial breaks,
	•	Posted by Cheech on May 9, 2008 06:55 AM I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, i didn't get to listen to the show because i was in a meeting... but the camp that was trying to recruit Locke was an anagram for "Lost Time"
	•	Posted by Kathy on May 9, 2008 07:21 AM WTF???? Give this show a10+++++!! Could Richard be Locke's father?? Seems like he's been checking up/ grooming him all of his life to come to the island. Yes- Michael must still have immunity from the island, as Keamy's gun jammed abt 3x when he tried to shoot Michael. Super creepy seeing Clare lounging with Christian... they kept exchanging odd-secretive-creepy glances with one another... what does clare know?? And it does seem to fit in Christian and Clare's plan that the baby leaves the island " he's where he's supposed to be"... what?! Hold onto your hats for next week!
	•	Posted by * KELS 37 <3 * on May 9, 2008 07:36 AM Ya know, I’m still trying to wrap my brain around this shit. I’m thinking maybe it’s a manifestation of Lockes mind? I wish Hurley or Ben would have gone in there, so we can see if they saw Claire and Christian too. So apparently Locke is special in some way and the island found this out somehow, there when he was born and everything. And that goddamn Richard hasn’t aged a day in like 50 years and they still aren’t telling us why! Now im actually wondering if Lockes dad that pushed him out of the window is really his dad. Cuz supposedly he is twice his moms age, and when they showed mom and dad before (in the hospital with the kidney situation) they didn’t really seem to have that much of age difference. And when Emilys mom saw Richard when Locke was born, she looked kinda like she knew him. weird. Now does Locke remember Richard from when he was a kid? And whats with the creepy black guy? He was the guy that started the freighter team with Naomi, and the same guy that visited Hurley in the flashforward asking about the people still on the island… And the time difference thing between the island and the freighter is messing me up. How the f did the doctor wash up on shore a couple days ago on the island, when he was still alive on the boat. Ya would think it would take at least a week for a body to travel from the boat to the island, maybe even more. So that would mean the island is in the future versus real time, but how far into the future is the question. And the guy on the freighter that told the doctor about it didn’t seem phased by it at all.. I am thinking that the island ages people too somehow- I noticed last night when Sayid was talking to Desmond, he had some gray hairs goin on..same thing with Jack in his flash forwards.. And what was with the pilot dropping the satellite phone? Why would he want Jack and them to follow him knowing that Keemi is going to kill everyone??
	•	Posted by Locutus of Borg on May 9, 2008 07:36 AM This is in response to Cuz's comments about too many commercials: I love this show but can't stay awake for the 10 PM airings. I watch on ABC.com the following morning. It's posted at 5 AM and is shown with approximately 4-30 second interruptions. I wish all TV could be that way. Check it out...
	•	Posted by Bryan on May 9, 2008 08:04 AM So Dharma has been trying to get Locke for the longest time. Did you notice the Gerinimo Poster in Locke Locker

Oh Snap! - 05-01-08

	•	Posted by Southpaw on May 1, 2008 08:44 PM yeah, I had the same reaction when I saw the Millennium Falcon ^_^ flash forward was weird (no surprise there)... "he's not even related to you!" well, he [i]is[/i] related to you though, Jack... even though you're not supposed to raise him..... and on that note, where the heck did Claire go? I guess that explains how Kate got custody of Aaron
	•	Posted by Bearcreek750 on May 2, 2008 06:14 AM When Kate told Jack that she had to do something for Sawyer, I think it had something to do with his daughter he had with the women he conned. Great episode.
	•	Posted by Emily on May 2, 2008 06:18 AM Jack does have his scar in the flash forwards. Go to http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/ and you can see the screenshots with him clearing showing multiple shots with the scar. However there's plenty more where you can't see the scar. It's probably just the angle.
	•	Posted by WorldOnFire on May 2, 2008 06:19 AM I think that Sawyer asked Kate to find his daughter. There was an episode where Kate crossed paths with a women that Sawyer conned and left pregnant
	•	Posted by jgra on May 2, 2008 06:27 AM Amazing episode!! So Hurley tells Jack that he's not supposed to raise Aaron, and this episode makes us believe that Claire might be dead... I think we're going to find out that Claire really isn't dead, but stayed behind on the island while Aaron left with Kate and Jack. I also think from clues this episode provided that Charlie isn't dead either. Hurley keeps seeing Charlie and from past episodes, you would think he's just making it up. With this show though, anything is possible. I think Charlie somehow survived the accident and is living in the States. So with Hurley giving Jack the message of "You're not supposed to raise him"..I think that it's Charlie and Claire that will ultimately be raising Aaron.
	•	Posted by T.J. on May 2, 2008 06:48 AM a few things from last night's episode: - Jack DOES have a scar in the flash forward: http://lost.cubit.net/ - Jack's new tatto on his back: K & 8 = KATE - in the beginnig of the episode, Sawyer called Miles (Asian Guy who can see dead people) "Donger" a la the chinese guy from "16 candles". My wife & I rewinded it & were cracking up over it - the X-Ray that the other doc, Erika, from St. Sebastian, asks jack to look at has a tumor on the L4 vertabrae...exactly the same tumor (thought not the same x-ray) that Jack removed from Ben -the guy in the promos for net week, horace godspeed, ("I have been dead for 12 years") was the same guy from Ben's Flashback in season 3 who helped deliver ben & brought him & his dad to the island. What the F??? - Jin threatening to break every finger of Daniel if Sun doesn't get off of the island (he spoke this to Charlotte, in Korean). Charlotte is becoming the new Ben, the character everyone loves to hate
	•	Posted by Alaine on May 2, 2008 06:58 AM Remember when Jack visited Hurley in the asylum the first time, Hurley said he was sorry for going with Locke. I think the upcoming visit to Jacob's cabin is why Hurley is so sorry. He will see or do something he will regret. I can't wait to find out what it is.
	•	Posted by Kathy on May 2, 2008 07:27 AM Another great episode! Not as action packed as last week's show, but still great! More insight into the downward spiral of Jack's booze and drug binge when back in the future. Did anyone else notice the brief moment when Jack saw his father in the waiting area of the dctrs office, Jack then got distracted by the woman doctor in his office and then looked again for his dad, but nothing there... the very next scene was Claire waking up to her father holding baby Aaron?? Creepy! When do Jack and Claire realize that they're brother and sister??And where exactly did Claire go?? Could the island be a in between place for the dead, before going to heaven or hell??- in the scenes for next week ( not sure of his name) there's a guy who said he's been dead for 12 yrs.... maybe thats why all of the dead pepole have been appearing?? This show drives me crazy!
	•	Posted by improbablywrong on May 2, 2008 07:44 AM I think Walt's is the body in the coffin, still can't tell why no one showed for the funeral though. Miles shows up to his (Walt's) Grandmother's house to perform his 'work' in another flash forward. why would Walt have Drugs/money?? Still trying to understand the timelines, but I'm sur it fits in somewhere like that. The coffin is a smaller one and Michael is suicidal even when we are sure Walt is alive under his Grandmother's roof. i love to hate this show and am transfixed as all you people are! GADZOOKS
	•	Posted by DannyBriere on May 2, 2008 07:53 AM IT IS NOT PURGATORY!
	•	Posted by Scoobs on May 2, 2008 08:22 AM To set the record straight, Claire is not dead. She is clearly seen sitting on the beach in the previews for next week. Just wanted to clarify this before this discussion continued much longer.
	•	Posted by Chrissy on May 2, 2008 09:30 AM So you guys aren't going to recap anymore! WTF!?
	•	Posted by Jim on May 2, 2008 09:36 AM Wow, last night kind of sucked.
	•	Posted by murff on May 2, 2008 10:59 AM hey i just found this picture on a lost site. anyone know if its legit? http://img72.ima....bencoffinlr1.jpg
	•	Posted by tryingveryhard on May 2, 2008 11:22 AM trying very hard to stay a LOST fan, but what was the point of last nights episode? a whole 60 minutes to find out Claire leaves the baby behind....wait, we already knew that! no clues were given, nothing happened. if you guys didn't guess that Jack and Kate end up together, then your dumb. it was obvious. and what was the point of Jack's illness? waste of time! and these stupid rambo guys that will shoot anything that movesare just plain scary
	•	Posted by rAnDom1 on May 2, 2008 11:34 AM As to who is in the coffin...we haven't gotten anymore info about this storyline since S3 Finale...STOP THE RANDOM GUESSING!!! We've been introduced to a lot of new characters this season and I'm sure that we will meet a lot more before the Series Finale in 2010...so it could very well be a person we haven't met yet. Or Vincent (the dog) could be in the coffin because that is about as random as all the other coffin theories.
	•	Posted by tuckerman on May 2, 2008 11:42 AM Myles did NOT visit Walt's grandmother...it was another older black woman, not her.
	•	Posted by Brianne on May 2, 2008 11:53 AM I just had a thought however, I hope its not true because that would mean the mystery is over for me! I think that Jack's Dad/Jacob, Witmore and Ben all knew each other. Witmore thinks Jack's Dad/Jacob is dead and therefore not a threat. However, he does not know that Jack's Dad/Jacob still has presence on the island. I think Aaron and Claire were brought to the island for the island to raise Aaron who is Jack's Dad/Jacob heir and for Aaron to eventually take over the islands power. Claire is safe because no one knows she is Jack's Dad/Jacob's daughter. I think that is why it is so important that "no one else raises him" and I think Charlie and Jack's Dad are coming back to tell Jack that he cannot raise him because Witmore knows Jack is Jacob's son and he will be suspicious of Jack raising Aaron. I know it may be a little far fetched but it came to me and I thought I would share. Thought?
	•	Posted by Scott Clark on May 2, 2008 12:09 PM One thing I'm annoyed about in the episode is that all the freighter goons are still alive. They are the only ones to survive against Smokey. I thought maybe the leader would have survived, but not all of them. Perhaps they knew about Smokey, and have something that fends it off?
	•	Posted by Jason on May 2, 2008 12:18 PM I noticed last night that Jack and Kate are a perfect match and here is why..... look close at their teeth.... Jacks go back and Kates stick out. I know stupid but, (insert "and good evening friends) also what is with Nick using ya'll? come on Nick your a white guy from the north. thanks guys you Fing rock
	•	Posted by Gmac on May 2, 2008 03:10 PM I have a question...the first flash back of the series, last years season finale, i believe is in the future of last nights flash backs when Jack realized he needs to get back to the island. But my question is..in that finale flashback, kate tells jack that "he doesn't know that I'm here, i can' be long", or something like that....who do you think she is referring too, Aaron or someone else?
	•	Posted by jimbuck on May 2, 2008 05:44 PM When Jack is in the lobby talking to the female doctor after seeing his father there are names on the wall (presumably doctors) What you can see is Garzon and Evenson. In French Garzon is keep. Keep eve and son . HMMMMM Interesting.
	•	Posted by carina1 on May 3, 2008 04:57 AM it was interesting to find jack swearing when he bumped into some sort of a toy at the beginning of the episode after he woke up an d was on his way to make coffee...what was that??
	•	Posted by Beth on May 4, 2008 11:25 PM I haven't seen this mentioned yet in the blog: Did anyone notice that Miles tells Sawyer that he saw Claire wander off with a man and Miles can see dead people / death? I think he saw Jack's dad but isn't telling Sawyer that the guy was dead.
	•	Posted by kkc820 on May 5, 2008 04:01 PM Did anyone notice that Jack did not seem to shave during the entire episode? Do you think that's because this is the start of that crazy beard he will have in the future?
	•	Posted by Donny Mutt on May 6, 2008 09:25 AM things i took away from this episode... 1. Miles can actually see dead people or spirits or what ever it is. that is why he is on the island to better understand that aspect of the island and i am sure he is also sent there to talk to Jacob. 2. You find out definitively that people stayed behind on the island when Jack said that Sawyer chose to stay and he chose to come home and save her, Kate. The interesting question is how the hell did Sawyer call Kate? i know there is more but i cant think right now. Next week should be good, i cant wait till thursday!
	•	Posted by Tuckerman on May 6, 2008 11:41 AM Kate wasn't on the phone with Sawyer -she was on the phone with Ben.
	•	Posted by Dan K on May 6, 2008 08:13 PM Isn't ironic that the islands two leaders, Ben and Jack, are the only two who became ill on the island? Also - I agree with the possibility that Claire actually died in last weeks attack? Maybe that is why Miles was telling Claire he was good with kids? He knew she was a ghost..
	•	Posted by jeni77 on May 6, 2008 11:46 PM Okay. Question..I thought those Rambo guys got killed by the black smoke? Am I confusing characters? Also, back a few episodes...when Miles went to Walt's Grandmothers house, he said it would cost more because she didn't tell him the ghost was murdered. If it is Walt he is "de-ghosting" how, when and why was he murdered?
	•	Posted by mikedhuber on May 7, 2008 07:40 AM first, MILES NEVER VISITED WALT'S GRANDMOTHER!!! THE TWO LADIES DIDN'T EVEN LOOK THE SAME!!! secondly, dan k...if what you said about miles/claire was true, then how was sawyer able to talk to claire? that would mean that he is also able to communicate with the dead, unless i'm not understanding your comment. but isn't it interesting that miles discovered the remains of rousseau and that kid (forget his name) only after he heard those whispers? we've heard those whispers many times since the beginning of the series, but only now (with the addition of miles) has anybody been able to understand the sound. does this mean there are many dead people buried throughout the island?
	•	Posted by fran on May 7, 2008 03:25 PM Everyone will be blown away by the person in the coffin. I think its Jacks dad. He was supposed to be brought back in a coffin anyway and he plays such a pivotal role as Jacob.... I think everyone will be shocked.
	•	Posted by Scanner420 on May 7, 2008 04:40 PM First off...... Tryinveryhard I know we're not as smart as you, so bear with the rest of us dummies puleezzeee!! If you wanna post negative stuff about the show fine.... but there's no reason to insult the fans of the show in the process with your comments. And if it's such a chore to watch the show, then turn the show off and play Wii. And to answer your question, if you haven't guessed, the point of Jack getting sick, was answered by Rose in the early part of the show. She said "People don't get sick here!" There is a point to it and like the rest of the show, it'll be answered in good time. BTW- Something I noticed, someone commented about the smoke detector going off when Christian Sheppard was waiting in Jack's waiting room and asked if it could be a sign of the smoke monster. I also noticed that when Christian Sheppard made his appearances to Jack in the office, Erika was also close by and behind Jack both times.
	•	Posted by littlemisssunshinne on May 8, 2008 08:51 AM Here's a question, Why does jack say to Kate referring to Aaron, "you aren't even related to him" instead of you are not his mother. Does Jack find out that him and Claire are related?
	•	Posted by Maria2016 on May 8, 2008 10:53 AM OK, everyone keeps obsessing about Jack getting sick. Why do you all think it's weird that Ben and Jack got sick? Remember in one of the earlier seaons, that Sawyer got very sick and Kate had to take care of him? I don't think it's just the leaders who are getting sick. I may be wrong, but then why did Sawyer get an infection and almost die?

The Shape of Things to Come - 04-24-08

	•	Posted by Chris from Marlton on April 25, 2008 06:12 AM GREAT EPISODE last night. We now know that Smokey can be "summoned" by Ben. We also know how Ben and Sayid become united in their flash forwards. Time travel is becoming very interesting. The 'Captain' of the boat 'Keamy' is on the island shooting at everyone...but wasn't he just on the boat when Sayid ratted Micheael out? Also, when Ben get to the hotel in his flash forward, he has to confirm it is 2005....which seemed odd to me. I like how Hurley has a sense if importance now. He calmed Sawyer and John knowing he needed to go and do something important...it was kind of cool.
	•	Posted by Jay on April 25, 2008 06:47 AM Ben's a BAD ASS!!!! Who else felt bad for him when he was kneeling over Alex???
	•	Posted by Kathy on April 25, 2008 07:15 AM Whoa!! Lost is finally back- what a insane, great show. I was sitting on the edge of the sofa all night! Ben ROCKS it... actually felt bad for him when they killed his daughter. The tough guy has a heart after all! What was up with the end of the show?? Ben seemed to know exactly where Whidmore was and had no problem getting up to the penthouse... Whidmore said to Ben "everything you have, you have since you stole it from me".. Is there a possibility that Ben once worked for Whidmore and things went bad?? My $ is on Ben definitely finding Penny!! Can not wait for next week!!
	•	Posted by Kristi on April 25, 2008 07:58 AM It was weird how Ben kept mentioning that Widmore had "broken the rules," like it was some sort of twisted game. They obviously have known each other for a while. And why would Ben "not be able" to kill him??
	•	Posted by Scott on April 25, 2008 08:07 AM I am starting to really like ben right now. He's just a great complex character. Michael Emmerson has been saying all along that he doesn't think Ben is as bad as he is made out to be, and I think he's right. Also, Keamy wasn't the captain, he was the guy shooting things off the deck of the boat, and the guy that brought Desmond to the sick bay to sit with Minkowski. He is also Tree from "Mystery Alaska," great movie, The NY rangers are the villains, go see it
	•	Posted by Brandi on April 25, 2008 08:43 AM Preston and Steve: Why is there nothing on your home page about your LOST discussion today? Did you not have time for one? I only caught a few minutes of your show this morning before work but I ususally go online to hear your thoughts on last night's episode. I was disapointed to see there is nothing there. Last nights episode was insane! I hope that you will both have the opportunity to voice your opinions of it, I always look forward to hearing it! You guys rock!!!
	•	Posted by heathgril on April 25, 2008 09:23 AM During the beginning of the show, when Hurley, Locke and Sawyer are playing Risk, Hurley says to Sawyer, "I can't believe you gave up Australia, Australia is the key to everything." That's a definite Easter egg.
	•	Posted by sarah b on April 25, 2008 09:46 AM so the island obviously has to do with time travel since the others that were born on the island have barely aged and that must be why women can not carry full term, but i still want to know wtf is up with the black smoke!?
	•	Posted by Sharon H on April 25, 2008 10:07 AM Not really feeling sorry for Ben right now, if he had made a different choice, his daughter might still be alive, but he was too selfish. I think he had something to do with Nadia’s death (Sayid’s wife…sorry if that’s not her name) because of that twisted smile he had after he turned and started to walk away from Sayid in that alley. I would bet Ben knew how Sayid would react if he insinuated that Charles Widmore was behind his wife’s death so he’s using it to his advantage. Sayid is just a pawn. Someone else mentioned this as well, the interaction between Ben and Widmore sounded like this was all a game to them. Almost like that movie from the 90s, “Surviving the Game”, Ice-T thought he was working for a man for the weekend during a hunting party being thrown for his friends until half-way through he realizes that HE is the one being hunted like an animal. It seems like the island is one big game board and everyone on it is a game piece. Just my random thoughts. LOST rocks and so does Preston & Steve!
	•	Posted by mikedhuber on April 25, 2008 11:22 AM "we both know you cannot kill me, ben"....or something to that affect said by charles widmore...i didn't understand it at first, but remember tom told michael a few episodes back that he cannot be killed because he was on the island? my money is on charles widmore having been on the island in some capacity at some point, and obviously so is ben, therefore they cannot kill eachother. since their children were born off the island, and therefore can be killed, seems to me they had an understanding that their children would not be harmed. guess that's changed, which means more desmond! (best character on the show)
	•	Posted by Jenn on April 25, 2008 12:00 PM When Hurley, Locke and Sawyer are playing Risk, Hurley mentions that Australia is the key to the whole game. Lostpedia.com mentions that when Ben goes to see Charles Widmore, he speaks in an Australian accent; when any other time we've seen him, he's spoken in a British accent. Could these two easter eggs be connected?
	•	Posted by Mike on April 25, 2008 12:56 PM What a great episode, almost as great as 'The Constant'. I'm really starting to like Ben too, although Locke will still have a place in my heart. We are definitely seeing what this show is going to be all about the rest of this season, and the next two seasons. I have a feeling time travel is going to be a big thing on the season finale and we will definitely see Jacob in his true form before this season is over. I mean come on, if this episode didnt prove the Black Smoke Monster is Jacob then I dont know what else will.
	•	Posted by shovelbuddy on April 25, 2008 01:09 PM "Australia is the key to the whole game." Was Hurley just commenting on the game, or does that comment have larger implications. Flight 815 originated out of Australia, and just about every survivor was drawn there by more than mere coincidence.
	•	Posted by Twin412 on April 25, 2008 01:10 PM First time posting. I think why Widmore said to Ben -- Everything you have you have from me-- is because Widmore did have the island and when Ben killed his dad and the other people he took the island away from Widmore. Also when Widmore says to Ben "you know you can't kill me" I think Ben can not kill people when he is off of the Island--that is why he enlists Sayid. I really liked the show and how it is progressing.
	•	Posted by RichG on April 26, 2008 07:09 AM I loved the episode last night. I think that Ben and Charles are God and the Devil playing for eveyone's souls, which is why they can not kill each other, but killing someone who is family is a broken rule. I also believe that the island is the garden of eden which was once in God's possesion, but the devil came and took over. Ben makes the show great again
	•	Posted by Malissa on April 26, 2008 12:49 PM My whole take on the end of the episode.....kind of 'super heroish' to me.....that Ben and Widmore had that chat.....kind of like they knew each other way back when....and might have been close (reminds me of how the villian was always friends or close to the superhero- like Smallville vs Superman) Anyway....lots of interesting things happening and can't wait for next week!
	•	Posted by gettybgluch on April 27, 2008 06:56 AM I think Ben and Widmore are filthy rich men playing some kind of game involving the island. When Keamy killed Ben's daughter Ben said "they changed the rules", perhaps family weren't to be touched?
	•	Posted by . on April 27, 2008 10:57 AM as for next week jack lives, no shocker there. so he's incompacitated, and can't make a decision or two. no real suspense for next week
	•	Posted by Matt on April 27, 2008 09:40 PM Don't know if anyone picked up on this but at the very beginning of the episode when jack is getting the antibiotics, Kate asks if he has a prescription. He says in response, "yeah, i wrote it myself." Oh Lost, so clever in connecting everything together. freakin sweet episode.
	•	Posted by Scafidi on April 28, 2008 06:57 AM The conversation between Ben and Charles Widemore was nuts. Is Widemore the head of the Dharma corporation?? Penelope better not die. It's weird that we have no idea how any of the losties got off the island yet. Did desmond ever get off? It would make sense that Desmond would give away the position of Penelope.
	•	Posted by brimae6 on April 28, 2008 06:58 AM When Hurley, Sawyer and John are playing risk. They talk about dividing and turning against each other. Hurley says that Australia is the key to the game
	•	Posted by Scott on April 28, 2008 06:59 AM I just missed the Lost talk on MMR and they mentioned the jacket, I hope people noticed that it was a Dharma jacket with Halliwax (Edgar)'s name emblazoned on the front. What is the significance?
	•	Posted by Nicole Ranieri on April 29, 2008 06:03 AM Ok, so i thought the show was awesome!!! But here is my theory...In the beginning of the episode, Sawyer, Locke & Hurley are all playing risk (which I believe is a huge clue)...At the end of the episode, Ben goes to Whitmore and they talk about him killing Ben's daughter and how now Ben is gonna get even and kill Penny b/c Whitmore broke "the rules". And then Whitmore talks about how he is gonna get the island from Ben and Ben says "If you ever find the island"...MY THEORY is that Ben & Whitmore are playing a LIVE version of the game RISK...and all the other people on the island are Ben's soldiers protecting the island at all costs...and the people on the boat are Widmore's soldiers and they are trying to capture the island from Ben to win the game. The only thing i dont know right now is how it all got started. Just a THEORY!!!
	•	Posted by kevin on April 29, 2008 07:12 AM Your Lost chats in the morning have sucked. Kathy is drunk, Nick falls asleep and twice Preston didn't even know it was on. And the chats have been like 4 minutes long. I'm questioning your fanhood.
	•	Posted by Donny Mutt on April 29, 2008 05:00 PM Someone mentioned that Jack had a new tattoo on his arm in the begining of this episode when he is reaching in the suitcase for pills. Next time they show his arm it is not there. Definitely picked up on that the 2nd time watching it. Things i thought were awesome about the episode.... 1. Ben is a bad ass MF'R thats for sure. After the last ep i came to realize that Ben is fully capable of protecting himself and evading capture so when ever he was a captive, it was only because he truely wanted to be there. 2. Ben woke up in the Desert not knowing where he was or when it was. That HAS to be some form of time travel so im very interested and excited to find out more in the coming weeks. 3. Ben obviously knows everything about whats going on, he can controll the smoke etc. Where did he go in that other OTHER secret room in his house. He came back all dirty and what not. That was very interesting. 4. Ben had that shit eating grin on his face once he manipulated Sayid to work for him. Did that guy really murder Sayid's wife or just a part of Bens manipulations? 5. Ben and Widmore obviously know each other. It seemed to me that they have some kind of "game" or what ever going on. The first thing that poped into my head was in Trading Places, the two old rich dudes that make a life changing bet over a dollar. What were the rules to the game that he changed and why cant Ben kill Widmore?
	•	Posted by MAD MAX on April 29, 2008 05:53 PM Kevin, I agree with some of your comments that the express version of the Lost chat sucks. THIS IS WHAT MADE ME A FAN ,GUYS DON'T SCREW IT UP! Lost is what won me over as a P&S fan. I know fridays are busy but damn I don't think 10-15 mins is much to ask. If you have to cut something lose a Bizarre file or 2 you can always run them later the next week.I don't question your fanhood , but make time for what your listeners really care about. There will only be 37 more chances to all participate in the best show to be on tv don't short change us please. Thanks guys See you on the road skags .Like we saw the Night Rider
	•	Posted by mikedhuber on April 30, 2008 03:47 AM Anybody know what Ben was holding in his hands everytime he appeared to be in a time-travel (or flash-forward) sequence? appeared to be some kind of black device and always kept it hidden behind his back. is this how he time-travels?
	•	Posted by gmanny on April 30, 2008 04:15 AM I see that nobody posted that when Ben got to/transported to the desert, his body was actually smoking from head to toe... There were also no tracks in the sand as they zoomed out of the shot... He wasn't even sure what year it was? Great twist on the smoke monster with Ben being able to control it... Ben freaking "ROCKS" and so do Preston and Steve, but come on guys, you have to spend a few more minutes talking about it on Friday's.
	•	Posted by BJ on April 30, 2008 08:20 PM Where is the lost audio...anyways... 4- stitches on Dr's face 8-Number on Hugo's dice on the table (note they role together and no significance) 15- Number rolled on Risk dice by Sawyer 16-First two numbers typed by Alex on keypad 23-second two number numbers typed by Alex on keypad 42?????

	•	Posted by Kevin Johnson on May 2, 2008 06:19 AM Do you guys even watch the show anymore? You barely remember the characters names and when someone gets kills! Come on man pay attention!
	•	Posted by Eddiebaby on May 3, 2008 08:35 PM The guy who plays Widmore is an Australian guy (used to be in Australian soap "Neighbours") but I think he is trying to be English in LOST. My thoughts are that Ben has access to the time travel stuff, which is how he came to be in the Sahara and how he woke up like Desmond did in his flashes back and forth. Lot of interesting comments in here. That picture of Ben in the coffin...load og bollocks 100% fake baby.

	•	Posted by Jill on April 14, 2008 01:34 PM Going back to the date on Jin's head stone. I don't think he is dead.... but the Oceanic 6 want everyone to believe he died in the crash..... Sun would be expected to put a memorial stone up for a husband who has supposedly been killed. It's a memorial stone not a tombstone. Sun and Hurley went there with the baby because they "feel close" to Jin there. Never once did she say he was actually dead or talk to the headstone like he was dead. She told the headstone (him) she missed him and cried because she misses him. Not because he's dead..
	•	Posted by Colleen on April 15, 2008 03:45 PM One week and two days left! I'm SO excited!!!!!!! Can't wait!
	•	Posted by james on April 20, 2008 01:41 PM 4 Days! looks like there will be two fights one on the beach and one in new otherton. where are all of the guns, beach or the barracks?
	•	Posted by Jill on April 21, 2008 11:00 AM Ben will probably have a guns hidden in the barracks somewhere

	•	Posted by Kate on April 25, 2008 08:05 PM I think this is going to end up as one big game that has been going on for years and years...between two seriously rich guys, Ben and Charles Whitmore. Someone above them ... a higher up person...organized it and the winner gets credit for the island. I wonder if the plane crash was just a wrinkle in their big plans? What happens to Sawyer, Claire, and Locke since they're not included in the "survivors"????

	•	Posted by Pamtaclaws on March 20, 2008 07:03 PM Okay two things. One - how ironic The Langoliers are on the scifi channel simultaneously when LOST is on...hmmmm, airplane, time travel.... think about it. Two and this is a real stretch of a connection, but on The Beatles Anthology - Oh-bla-di oh-bla-da at the end John says "OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA BROTHA!!!!! (who has a barrow in the market place???? Who takes a trolley to the jeweller's store????? No one other than DESMOND)
	•	Posted by jeni77 on March 20, 2008 07:09 PM ok. so Michael just drives up to some port? Holy Crap!!! What is THAT guy doing there? (the one who tried to kill Sawyer) Jake? Why isn't he affected by "the trip"? and he's gay? this is getting too trippy and possibly the best episode ever!!! again!!!!
	•	Posted by Jeannine on March 20, 2008 07:10 PM Mr. Nice guy is Gay??? WTF. I don't know why I'm so shocked- but I am. Well I really like him so I'm glad he's in the episode. It's a great episode so far
	•	Posted by bnBecky on March 20, 2008 07:20 PM why is the only picture michael is looking at is walt as a baby? where is the black smoke monster? why is mr. friendly following michael and why is he gay?? does mr. friendly really care if the people on the island live or not?why does Kate have Clair's baby? did claire die? where is sawyer and locke??
	•	Posted by Becky Murray on March 20, 2008 07:26 PM my husband hates when i talk at commericals, but i can type- so is michael going to be tortured until everyone on the island is dead? who is this whitmore guy and how does he know about the island and what does he want with it?
	•	Posted by Shawn on March 20, 2008 07:39 PM What an amazing ending to a stellar episode. April 24th can't come soon enough.
	•	Posted by irish sayid on March 20, 2008 07:49 PM did anyone else try to jump into their TV and crack sayid in the skull when he ratted out michael at the end. now i have a busted tv and a broken hand. thanks sayid. hate your guts.
	•	Posted by Robert on March 20, 2008 07:51 PM Why in hell are they moving it back to 10:00 again. They lost ratings last year when it was on at 10:00. What's up with Ben having his daughter's Boyfriend and Mother killed. This show just gets stranger each week.
	•	Posted by BigFanBarb on March 20, 2008 08:06 PM Not sure why everyone is so surprised that Mr. Nice Guy is gay - How many times did he say gives us clues: "Trust me Kate, you're not my type" in the shower, handing her nice clothes, a theatrical/drama person (when they staged the run-down look of the others in the beginning.....) Yah, I wanted to crack Sayid also, but I think it's in his master plan to actually see how the captain reacts. Remember, he ends up working for Ben too....
	•	Posted by Scotty on March 20, 2008 08:13 PM This one goes out to Nick...I picked up on a lot of Star Wars references tonight... The one that really stuck out to me was Karl saying "I have a bad feeling about this" to Alex in the woods... so Star Wars!!! Great episode. The last 5 min and the previews for the following shoes was amazing. Alex saying she's Ben's daughter... left way open to go either way... is it the other's or could the shots be coming from people that maybe Frank brought to the island... The chopper was gone the last time saw the deck of the ship. Could Sayid do something to become guilty himself? Is this now why he ends up working for Ben? Can't wait for the last shows of the season. GADZOOKS!!!!!
	•	Posted by Kara on March 20, 2008 08:17 PM Did anyone notice the split second before it came back from commercial your saw a split second of The Mole screen shot? I thought that was weird. It is probally nothing.... maybe they want dumbies like me to point it out so they can get hype because they want to bring it back.
	•	Posted by irish sayid on March 20, 2008 08:22 PM could someone tell me what mr. friendly said to michael in the alley way about not being able to kill himself/die "_____ wont let you" did he say island? i missed it at didn't know if it was important or not.
	•	Posted by Donny Mutt on March 20, 2008 08:31 PM I bet a "hunting party" of some sort made it to the Island. The post above reminded me about the Helicopter not being on the boat in last weeks episode. Maybe they were shooting at Ben's daughter. I can't believe Sayid snitch like a little bitch. Hopefully, ratting out Michael is part of a plan, but I cant imagine much good coming from it. Sayid wants off the Island pretty bad it seems so who knows. All we know is eventually something bad happens which pushes him to work for Ben. Also, the more I think about it I am betting Faraday when push comes to shove wont be able to hurt the people on the Island and eventually does help them get off the Island. He just doesnt seem like a cutthroat to me. Time will tell. GREAT episode tonight!
	•	Posted by ShouldBeSleeping on March 20, 2008 09:01 PM To Irish Sayid - yes, Friendly said "The Island won't let you". I started watching in Closed Captioning thanks to tips here - you see so much more. I knew what you were supposed to hear in the background, what was on the the TV show (triva questions about Kurt Vonnegut/Slaughterhouse etc). Thanks to whoever made that suggestion!
	•	Posted by Joe Wagner on March 20, 2008 09:11 PM Did anyone else catch Naomi's plumber crack shot when she gets done talking with Lapidus on the boat? No joke. And The Mole subliminal messages ABC was trying to hypnotize us with were just annoying. That show was terrible. Gad Zooks.
	•	Posted by shence on March 20, 2008 09:13 PM michael gives ben a list of people on freighter and is killed dont know how or when so sayid takes the list and kills those people while working for ben in future. im drunk but think i make some sense. gadzooks
	•	Posted by Wendy on March 21, 2008 03:53 AM Yes, there were at least three "subliminal" ads for The Mole during last night's episode of LOST. This site confirms that The Mole is returning to ABC this summer: http://www.ew.co....0169920,00.html. I'm predicting Stephen Baldwin will host, now that Donald Trump has fired him from Celebrity Apprentice. And, finally in the previews for the next LOST episode, they showed the Oceanic Six, so there is no question that Aaron is one of them: 1. Kate 2. Jack 3. Hurley 4. Sayid 5. Sun 6. Aaron
	•	Posted by JMCD on March 21, 2008 05:18 AM Did anyone notice as Michael left Fiji on the boat - there is only 1 helicopter on the freighter. So what did Naomi crash into the ocean??? And I did see her plumbers crack!
	•	Posted by lost fan on March 21, 2008 06:22 AM so you mean to tell me that Widmore can arrange a friggin plane crash with 300 dead bodies and can find a hidden magical island, but he can't figure out there is a spy on his boat and he can't tap into his passengers phone conversations! GIMMIE A BREAK!!! i think the Captain knows exactly who Michael is. danielle and karl dying was weird... so unimportant to the story.
	•	Posted by sam on March 21, 2008 06:51 AM 1. i saw the plumber's crack too! i almost didn't believe it 2. they are moving it back to 10pm because of (stupid) Grey's Anatomy.. and they don't want it against American Idol on weds. 3. the producers have always hinted at mr. friendly being gay. 4. mr friendly says "the island won't let you"
	•	Posted by DebPugs on March 21, 2008 07:19 AM about Naomi-was it plumbers crack or a tramp stamp? When I saw it, I thought it was a tiny tattoo.
	•	Posted by aquadan005 on March 21, 2008 07:20 AM Does anyone think there was a signifigance to Michael trying to off him self in a 1978 Dodge Aspen listening to the Mamas and Papas also from the 70's No blacvk man I know would be seen dead in a Dodge Aspen let alone listening to the Mama and Papas And I thought at first that was a thong on Naomi, hhhmmmmm nice crack ! And Mr. Gay Friendly almost made me choke on my beer. Damn this show!
	•	Posted by Buffi'smom on March 21, 2008 07:39 AM -Did anyone else notice the way Alex was holding her stomach. Then before Carl was killed he said, "I won't tell if you don't" or something. Does anyone think Alex could be pregnant.? I am not sure what that woul add to the show except more confusion. -Also remember what the asian dude said to Michael about "Kevin Johnson not being his name" Thats okay 80% of people on this boat aren't who they say they are.. There is definitely something more going on with the people on the boat?
	•	Posted by LiLMisShades on March 21, 2008 07:47 AM I can't believe nothing has been said about Libby yet!!! It's so weird that she, of all people, is popping up. What's that suppose to mean!!! I think Ben knew exactly what he was doing when he sent Danielle, Karl, and Alex out. He always knows exactly what's going to happen next. And I think that the people shooting are people from the boat considereing that the chopper was gone. It sucks that the show's on at 10 now. But I'll still watch. Lost is like that nasty car crash that you just can't help but watch!!
	•	Posted by KT on March 21, 2008 08:30 AM How did Mr. Friendly get off the Island if Lock "blew up" the sub? Could this have happened before Lock did that or is there another way on and off the island? The reason I say "blew up" is because i'm not convinced that Lock actually blew up the sub...why was he all wet when he returned from it? My guess is that he hid it somewhere, I hope I'm right!
	•	Posted by Pranks on March 21, 2008 08:54 AM OK...I think I read through this week's post pretty thoroughly, did no one pick up on the fact that Tom (Mr. Friendly) was killed by Sawyer…and here he comes just sauntering down the ally to Michael? Am I the only one who was surprised by that?
	•	Posted by Goldeboy on March 21, 2008 09:13 AM Anyone catch the identity of the old man in the hospital bed next to Michael?
	•	Posted by Dantman on March 21, 2008 09:17 AM It was definately Naiomis butt crack, not a tattoo. http://bp1.blogg....+woman-00125.jpg And I dont think the people who shot Karl and Danielle were from the freighter. They made a point of showing those guys with machine guns. The shooters at the end had rifles and silencers.
	•	Posted by Maria2016 on March 21, 2008 09:21 AM Remember when Michael went to the pawn shop to get the gun? He pawned a watch that had Korean on the back of it. Anyone think it could be Jin's? If so, how did Michael get it before Ben let him and Walt off the island. Does anyone remember from previous episodes if Jin did give Michael his watch?
	•	Posted by Paul R on March 21, 2008 10:23 AM Great show last night! First, I think Ben set up Danielle and Karl because he wasn't going to let anyone take his daugter away from him. second, I also think Sayid has a master plan, but I'm not sure what it is. Lie someone said before it is probably to see what the captain's reaction will be. Who knows??!! I knew Mr. Freindly was gay because he told Kate she wasn't his type when she was in the shower before they put he in the polar bear cage.
	•	Posted by phphp on March 21, 2008 10:52 AM Naomi's coin slot (scroll down a little more than halfway): http://getlostpo....encap-recap.aspx
	•	Posted by William on March 21, 2008 10:56 AM Question: Tom died on the island by Hurley running over him. By that time Michael had to have been off the island for a little while because he left at the end of Season 2, while Tom died towards the end of Season 3. How did Tom get back to Manhattan to make this proposition to Michael? For that matter, when during that time did Ben have access to a radio in which to communicate with Michael? In the fist fight between Michael and Tom, Tom's nose was bleeding and it reminded me of Desmond's episode when he jumped back and forth in time. Can Tom will himself through time in order to be there but takes some health risks to do so causing nosebleeds, or was it simply resulting from the fight? Curious stuff...
	•	Posted by eeyorebnl on March 21, 2008 11:17 AM Ok here's what I think.... Micheal can time travel/astral project like Desmond can and that's how he appears to Locke on the island. I also think that there is more to the Michael/Walt relationship than just Walt being mad at his dad for killing Libby and Ana Lucia. Even though Sayid turned Michael in, I think that Sayid is some how responcible for what happens to Michael or perhaps his death and that's what causes Sayid to "join up" and work for Ben. And how cool to see that Libby is the one haunting Michael and not Ana Lucia, could this mean the Libby was the "innocent" one and Ana Lucia was mant to get killed because of actions in her past?
	•	Posted by Jeff on March 21, 2008 11:25 AM To those of you who notcied more of the Mole commercial flashes than the episode of Lost: The reason you only saw a second of them is most likely because WPVI is allowed to show local ads instead of ABC's house ads, and the time simply didn't sych up perfectly. It's been that way for years.
	•	Posted by ElseWhere on March 21, 2008 11:36 AM lost fan - I was thinking the same thing the captians reaction to what he was been told gave me the impression that he know the truth about Michael, and he wasn't at all surprised that they turned on him.
	•	Posted by Chrissie on March 21, 2008 11:36 AM I wonder if Tom gave Michael a different gun or maybe jammed his gun and that's why it didn't go off. We all know the Others like to play mind games. Maybe Michael can kill himself and just survived the car crash b/c of luck.
	•	Posted by Colleen on March 21, 2008 01:05 PM I can't even believe I have to wait over 30 days for the answers I want, but such is life... Okay, I'm left with these thoughts after last nights AMAZING episode: 1. First and foremost: I believe Michael's identity is not a surprise. The captain knows alot, and neither he or Michael looked too worried. Michael didn't look too concerned that Sayid just sold him out. Then again, Michael does want to die....... oh whatever, guess I haven't thought about that all the way thru yet. 2. I discussed this with my fellow LOST viewers last night: Widmore being behind everything with the fake crash and the freighter seems fishy to me. Last week, the captain was telling Sayid and Des about the bodies and resources it took to stage a fake crash. He said "and THAT is just one reason we want Benjamin Linus". Now we're being told that Widmore staged the crash so he could get to the island first. Too many people are pinning this on Widmore, and I just dont think it's that simple. I really dont' trust Ben, even a little. He lies and manipulates and he's admitted to doing that to get what he wants. The whole Ben/Widmore thing has to have a twist. I dont think it's as simple as this. 3. Despite some people thinking Danielle and Karl being killed was unimportant, nothing that happens on LOST is done without reason. I was sad to see Danielle go. But without anyone protecting Alex, she's back in Bens' control now. And out of fear, she probably won't fight Ben so much, at first anyway. My guess is that Ben's Others killed Danielle and Karl on Ben's orders. They were supposedly at the Temple where Alex was heading, and we know Ben can get orders to whoever he wants. 4. The previews for April showing Claire and Locke and everyone fighting people leads me to beleive that either Claire is killed or for whatever weirdness that happens, decides to stay on the island and lets Aaron leave with Kate. We know Jin is out there somewhere in the future too. I can't wait to find out what in the world makes them decide to stay or if in some fast, emergency situation they all can't make it off the island and it comes down to sacrificing their own rescues for someone else who needs off the island more (Aaron and Sun). 5. When Ben (in the previews for next month) grabs a gun and everyone is fighting off invaders, could the invaders be Bens' Others? Coming back maybe to reclaim their camp from Sawyer, Locke, Claire, Hurley, etc.? Could Ben be planning another purge of the 815 survivors and he's faking concern to keep Locke cool for the moment? Ben obviously has a way of communicating with the Temple, the invaders may be the Others the whole time. Okay, Libby: Again, we're getting some supernatural aspects back on the show. This Libby thing goes back to Season 2 where we had a lot of dead people showing up and giving warnings. Lately, Charlie has shown up, but the meaning/source of the apparitions, who knows. Should they be trusted, who knows. It's supposedly the island that does it. just so many questions still to be answered. makes me dizzy. Michael being so suicidal is understandable after everything he's been thru, but it's sad. watching him repeatedly try to kill himself was sad too. yes, he did screw over his supposed friends on the island, but I think he was blinded by trying to get Walt off the island and wasn't thinking clearly. He was thinking quickly and on instinct. And where does he end up? Back in the waters by the island. That place never lets people escape. I just hope we get answers next month and in May for : how Walt is doing and more on his "special" qualities, Jacob and the mysterious supernatural-ness of the island, the smoke monster, why dead people show up all the time and from where do they come (Jack's dad, Libby, Charlie, Boone, Mr. Eko's brother, Ben's mom, etc.), and for crying out loud, what the hell is Ben really after? What is his true motive? Sometimes I think I know, but then I'm confused again. Damn this show, but I love it so much!
	•	Posted by coolcrap2000 on March 21, 2008 01:28 PM Just a thought..... Michael: dead guy in coffin?
	•	Posted by **KELS 37** on March 21, 2008 01:33 PM I thought this episode was VERY predictable and unexciting for the most part. As soon as i saw Roussou, Alex and Karl in the jungle, i knew one of them was the "Someone will die" person from the previews. I'm pretty much convinced at this point that its Michael in the coffin, under another assumed name. Correct me if i'm wrong- but i thought that Michael, Libby and Ana Lucia were the only ones that knew Michael shot them? I mean, i know everyone knew that Michael trapped them by leading them right to the others- but i'm not remembering when all of the Losties found out that he was the one to pull the trigger..?? Anyone remember that?
	•	Posted by lost friend on March 21, 2008 02:19 PM How did Naomi get on the island if there is only one helicopter on the boat and hers apparently crashed? I noticed this last night when she was arguing with the pilot about who was going to fly it first.
	•	Posted by big e on March 21, 2008 02:27 PM Mr. Friendly said that Widmore was responsible for the staged plane crash, but last week the ship’s captain said that they believed Ben was responsible. I believe the captain and think that Ben was somehow responsible for the staged plane crash. Think about it, he’s the one who wants to keep the island a secret, and finding the wreckage would stop any search parties from stumbling across the island. I think that Ben is also lying when he says that the people on the ship want to kill everyone on the island after they get him. This is just a clever way for Ben to get the flight 815 survivors to protect him. Ben is an evil genius and is very, very dangerous. We don’t yet know the extent of Ben’s power, but I think it’s safe to say that is fairly significant. Some of the things that Miles has said have hinted that he understands the power that Ben possesses.
	•	Posted by leslie on March 21, 2008 03:18 PM can anyone please remind me what happened to Walt and Michael? I've asked several people and no one can quite remember exactly. From what I remember we never saw Walt again after he was kidnapped (except in ghost form - or whatever), and Ben let Michael off the island (why again?) Sorry - but my brian can't retain this much . . .
	•	Posted by kd on March 21, 2008 03:35 PM I think Ben stadged the 815 remains in the ocean. He apparently has big $$$. I think he OWNS Oceanic Airlines and that is how he has access to a plain and he had the Others dig up those graves. I just don't see Widmore hatching that idea and making it happen. Ben has the brains and the money to do it.
	•	Posted by Sarah Maria on March 21, 2008 03:40 PM Hey everyone - I don't post often, but I just wanted to point out some things: 1) Just because Mr. Friendly (aka Tom) tells Micheal that Charles Widmore planted that plane, it doesn't mean that's the actuality...Don't forget that the captain told Sayid and Desmond that Ben pulled that off...The "proof" Tom showed Michael was pictures. Those pictures could be from Charles or from Ben staging that plane...I wouldn't be too quick to jump to either side! 2) to Becky Murray: Charles Widmore is Penny's father. We were first introduced to him in season 2 seeing as she was (and technically still is) Desmond's love. We learned that Charles Widmore obtained the Journal of a Hanso Ancestor in 1996 at an auction earlier this season and we know, through Desmond flashbacks that he is a man of great wealth. 3) The last time we saw Michael (before the freighter) was on the season finale of season 2. This means for all of season three (or most of) he was off the island. so KT, that scene between Michael and Tom in NYC could have been at any point during season 3. This means that Tom could have been off the island before the sub blew up. I'm thinking the sub was blown up by Locke...but that's just me. 4) Did anyone notice that the watch Michael brought to the pawn shop for the gun was the one he found on the beach way back in season 1. That watch turned out to be Jin's and as a result Jin though Sun gave it to him and it caused the two of them to fight and get Jin handcuffed! The watch had an inscription on the back , does anyone know what it said? 5) lastly, I'm thinking that the whole shtick with Ben telling Russo, Alex, and Carl to follow that map to the Temple and then Carl and Russo getting killed is just to remind us that Ben is in control and is still as manipulative as ever... Ben has severe abandonment issues. His mother died at his birth, because of that his father rejected him and as a result he doesn't handle people abandoning him very well. Annie was his only friend as a child (or so we think) and resulted (in my opinion) in Ben hiring Juliette as well as falling for her. Once Juliette formed a bond with Goodwin Ben offed him because "Juliette was his"...I think it's totally possible that he's feeling the same way about Alex and thus killed the two people taking her away from him. Ben's a deranged, lonely guy and that ending was to remind us not to trust him.

	•	Posted by obsessed on March 21, 2008 08:56 PM Someone asked about the transcrption in the watch, here's a screenshot with translations of the inscription: http://bp3.blogg....s-watch408-2.gif A few things...Alex had something in her ear, looked like a microphone or something, any thoughts on that? Michael is my #1 thought of the "man in the coffin". Mr. Friendly said that "the island isn't done with you YET"...or something to the effect, which tells me that once the island is done w/ him, he will be able to die. The obituary said the person in the coffin died of an apparent suicide (hanging), is survived by a teenage son, and we don't know what name he is going by, so it seems logical that it could be "jeremy lantham" or whatever the name was on the obit. Also there is a screenshot of the gun w/ the bullets in the revolver when Michael checked them, I might be crazy, but one of the bullets definitely looks different than the others. you can see the screenshot here: http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/ What else...I think it was Ben's people who shot rousseau and karl. So glad we are
