If Ben were to kill or attempt to kill Penny then surely Desmond would seek revenge on Ben; hence dragging desmond back to the Island.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-53964110020550361712009-02-25T07:25:00.000-05:002009-02-25T07:25:00.000-05:00THIS WAS MY LEAST FAVOURATE EPISODE EVERTHIS WAS MY LEAST FAVOURATE EPISODE EVERAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-39195464774261496912009-02-24T22:00:00.000-05:002009-02-24T22:00:00.000-05:00thanks for the review ilostmykeys... great job! i ...thanks for the review ilostmykeys... great job! i am wondering if anybody else noticed that the woman featured in the trailer for this weeks episode, speaking to john locke, is the same woman who escorted sayid onto flight #316? i am wondering if that means she is connected to ben. i guess that is what i am expecting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-61601614455064101282009-02-24T13:16:00.000-05:002009-02-24T13:16:00.000-05:00Anyone notice where Ben was when he calls Jack?

The premise is (in the book) is that the ones left behind are not worthy. Could the island need only good people, like the ones he chose before to help him with his final plan for mankind or simply the island. Widmore could be sort of the devil or the devil's advocate, that messes with God's plan and God has to start all over again. Are the O6 experiencing a "second coming" to the island?

Instead the losties got flashed away in the energy back to the island. Bringing me to my point... what about everyone else on the plane? they are supposed to just not notice that a bunch of passengers suddenly disappeared in the turbulence? this is bothering me as we already know the plane didnt crash - Jack Hurley and Kate say they dont remember it crashingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-84006866876032258882009-02-21T15:52:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:52:00.000-05:00It´s all a circle.

I think hte Flashies (Jin, Daniel, Sawyer, Juliette etc) are stuck in the early days of Dharma after John fixed the FDW.<BR/><BR/>I would bet that John will "resurrect" as soon he was brought back to the island (like Christian did) and will indeed become the leader of the Others/Hostiles - as acting Jacob or person that can "speak on his behalf", until he is unsoldered by Christian. Remember: no Other ever saw Jacob in the Cabin - just maybe Ben - and we all know how he bends the thruth.<BR/><BR/>That said, I demand at least 5 more tense to make it easier fpr us to explain the anachronistic events on the Island.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-51349391755502290202009-02-20T17:59:00.000-05:002009-02-20T17:59:00.000-05:00I really hope Ben didn't kill Penny, I love Desmon...I really hope Ben didn't kill Penny, I love Desmond and Penny's storyline. But it would make sense that something happens that makes Desmond go to the island. Mrs. Hawking did say the island wasn't done with him...<BR/><BR/>On another note, I think Locke was taking Christian's place in the coffin so that somehow he (Locke) can be "resurrected".<BR/>After all this show does have A LOT of biblical references. Note the biblical verse JOHN 3:16....and pay attention to Locke's death and flight # 316.<BR/><BR/><BR/>BTW, I loved Frank's reaction when he realized they weren't going to Guam...Poor guy!

Then he looked over at the officer and turned his head away as if to tell Jack he'd rather not speak now.<BR/><BR/>Another unasked question is what were the circumstances of Ben's injuries. Jack did ask him on the phone, but was put off. Clearly Ben didn't want to say. Why believe what this guy says anyway? He didn't know John killed himself? Seems like that might have been him in the room with him when he did it. Another surprise in the preview was John being told how important he was by Widmore!<BR/><BR/>Someone asked how Hurley found out about the flight. Since he is carrying a guitar case, I'm going to guess that he was visited again by Charlie who asked him once again to return, telling him he was needed. What a great guy Hurley is, buying up all existing seats to minimize the amount of people who might die in a crash!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501321131264267285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-56351058069038862662009-02-20T17:17:00.000-05:002009-02-20T17:17:00.000-05:00Think of the replacement flight like that scene in...Think of the replacement flight like that scene in Indiana Jones where Indie replaces the golden statue with a weighted bag that he hopes is equal to the statue. He's off by a bit of course, but let's consider the concept. The bag bears no real similarity to the statue. It doesn't look the same, it isn't made of the same material, etc. All the trap does is look at a single trait, weight.<BR/><BR/>Now consider the island. We've already established that the crash survivors and even probably those that didn't survive, are all connected by a complicated web of coincidence.<BR/><BR/>Indeed coincidence is one of the most striking traits of the series. We have yet to learn the root of all this coincidence (if one even exists), but I think it's safe to say that this web of coincidence is key to how these people ended up on the island in the first place.<BR/><BR/>So I posit this, that the key to getting back on the island...the trait that matters like weight does in our Indiana Jones example...is coincidence. All of the connections to the first flight...from the passengers who were on it to the dead person being transported with the shoes of the dead person from the first flight to Frank who was supposed to be the pilot of the first flight and is now the pilot of THIS flight. All of these things come together to create something with enough ties of fate and coincidence to the first flight to provoke the same reaction.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it isn't an exact replication, but it doesn't need to be. Perhaps fate in Lost is just as elastic as time, the changes don't matter because the result is still going to be the same.<BR/><BR/>Is this science? Well, I really don't know. It really depends on what, if anything, more we learn about how people end up on the island and why there are so many connections between the people who do.<BR/><BR/>And, really, very little that we see on Lost fits into any actual scientific theory so worrying too much about the exact technobabble seems silly to me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12319495452671961597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-59968762526498561632009-02-20T16:37:00.000-05:002009-02-20T16:37:00.000-05:00Maybe Kate is spooked that someone will still try ...Maybe Kate is spooked that someone will still try to take Aaron away and gave him to his grandmother (Claire's mom whom we know to be in LA) to take care of (and hide).
