The Man Behind The Curtain
1 year, 6 months ago by WillRead more: Ben, Jack, Juliet, Locke, Lost Episodes
Another Lost wednesday is here and we’re all ready for tonight’s Lost episode “The Man Behind The Curtain.” A ton happening in tonight’s episode:
Spoiler Warning
- Will we really find out anything tangible about Jacob?
- What exactly will Ben expose to Locke about the Island?
- How will Jack explain Juliet’s recording to the Losties? Can he restore their faith in him?
Given this is a Ben-centric episode; we should obviously get some answers about his true origins, what his role was in the DHARMA Initiative, and more importantly where the relationship stands between the Others and DHARMA. I believe there is a legitimate rift between Alpert and Ben and that Locke is the mechanism they will both attempt to use to gain the upper-hand in whatever internal struggle that is happening.
Official Description:
The Man Behind the Curtain, Wednesday, May 9 at 10/9c on ABC. Ben begrudgingly begins to introduce Locke to the secrets of the island, beginning with the mysterious Jacob.
Preview
You can also see a sneak peak of The Man Behind The Curtain.
As always, read through all of the comments before posting. Be mindful of others and do not post any pre-show spoilers, they will be removed. Have fun.

It certainly seems like the writers have put a lot of effort in to making the last 4 or 5 episodes climactic, rather than just the season finale.
Based on the end of The Brig, and on the trailer for The Man Behind The Curtain, it’s clear that Jack knows more than we’re aware of, and certainly knows more than he’s let on so far. With Sawyer playing the tape, it seems to me that Jack has got some ’splainin’ to do!

I worry most about the Jack/Juliet issue tonight. With all of this “Star Wars” banter going around… Jack=Luke and Jack strays toward the “Dark Side” of the Force (Others)… meaning he ventures out from the core values/objectives he shares with the beach camp Losties. Jack goes! Who follows? Who stays? Who follows the antiJack path?

I really don’t think Jack is “with” the others, I think he’s playing along and Jules is actually the one that is betraying her group, she knows that Ben will never let her go, so she needs a power shift. Goes along with my theory (and the hints being dropped) that Alpert and the others close to Ben are tired of his crap and are hoping to use Locke to overthrow Ben.

Im hoping for a little more insight on Ben. I hope they dont keep us hanging too much. Jack knows plenty and hes going to use it for his benefit.

Hello guys,
do you think that all members of flight 815 are already dead and are in hell now, I don’t think so, I think this is another way to manipulate the group at the beach and this is just another plan of Ben, who is always manipulating.
And how did Penelope know the coordinates of the island ? She was searching with scientists for magnetic spots or magnetic events. What does Penelope know about all ?
Comment 7, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
i believe that the island is a testing ground hidden from sattelites. the dharma iniative has developed methods of using electromagnetism to change events, to alter the minds of those on the island and block signals disabling contact with the outside world. they have discovered how the mind works and know how to manipulate it. they may also know how to ressurect the dead (not certain).the monster is an advanced technological developement which can alter thoughts and clearly kill people. the dharma iniative plan to save the human race and the island has its own magnetic field. many fathers of the losties were previous members of the dharman initiative. one sure thing the island is no hell, it is the future of civilisation.

C&C have all but completely ruled out “hell”. They’ve definitely ruled out purgatory, so it follows that they’d likely rule out hell as well. Especially seeing as Cooper’s references to it last week were just too obvious for it to be true.
Hammer, I’m beginning to think along your train of thought, that Alpert et al are tired of Ben’s shenanigans. I also think that there is enough evidence to suggest that Juliet, while not trustworthy at this point, is also not necessarily completely on board with whatever The Others are up to. If anyone is to defect anywhere, I think it’ll be Juliet renouncing any and all allegiances to The Others and joining the quest of the Losties to get back home.

Hello Everybody!
well jack is with the others & u can’t change my mind since i’m more stubborn about my opinions than a mule. jack is only there for himself now. he realizes tht there ain’t no gettin off the island & if u can’t beat em, join em. there ain’t no beatin ben or jacob so jack is joinin there group. (oh and if we’re doin star wars, jack is anakin not luke)
very happy we finally get a Ben flashback after the bastard has been on the show for 2 long seasons. i luv how evil & twisted the man is & michael emerson is an amazing actor. he’s very convincing.
Penny may not be who we think she is. Not quite sure yet, but she would make a great other/dharma. I think (am begginning to anyways) that she’s with dharma/others & was only with desmond because he has flashes.
Comment 10, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
I agree with Hammer and JSEG. Juliet has filled Jack in and together they are planning to make a move against Ben (keeping the camp in the dark in a effort to avoid a potential leak back to the Others). But Ben, being the grand manipulater, is one step ahead sending the tape back to the beach. Perhaps Ben has some help with his manipulting tactics via a computer of some sort. Maybe that computer goes by the name of Jacob! Maybe the only person who has ever SEEN Jacob is Ben (think HAL in 2001).

Does anyone think that someone else in the lostie group is a spy for the others or maybe is an other? Maybe there is someone like an Ethan, that ran out of the jungle and we just dont know it yet . . .
Comment 15, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
scuba - Hugo accounted for everyone on the list except Ethan, so it would have to be someone from the tail section. Who’s left from the tail that could be an other? Spies are a def. possibilty though…people do things to get what they want/need.

Comment 23, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
Guys, even though I love the Star Wars theories (big fan), I think because the producers are also big fans they are incorporating references just to pay homage. I don’t think the story is based on SW. It would actually be cool if Alpert is Jacob and disquised as a servant like the princess, but IMO this story will stand on it’s own.

Oooh ooooh plus i meant to say that I really hope Jack & Claire find out that they are Brother & Sister tonight but sadly I just don’t think it will happen ever on the show - I think it’s just one of those priviledged information things that only us “watchers” get to know :( I’d love to see some nice bonding moments between them on finding out the news - remember Jack was 1st to help Claire after the crash. Totally because he’s a doc & she was pregs at the time though. Ahh sigh. Plus a full shirtless hour of Sawyer wouldn’t go astray ;0)
Or KateLucyMonica for that matter! haha. Enjoy guys, meet you back here to discuss…syncronise your watches!

That episode was incredible. Just wanted to be the first to post on this. The scene with Jacob, can someone tell me that I’m not crazy? I swear, when Ben was at the rocking chair and told “Jacob” that he’s had his fun, and Ben was thrown against the wall, the camera panned back to the chair and I am sure I saw someone sitting in it! It was for only a second. Can someone confirm!?!

Comment 52, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
I’m gonna com straight out & post my theory on Jacob & Ben.
- Ben can see dead people (his mom. is that y richard wanted to talk to him?)
- Jacob is dead.
- Richard really cared when Ben said that he could see his mom who’s dead.
- Dead People aka Ghosts can move things around & not be seen.
- Ben is the only one who can see jacob since ben is the only one who can see dead people.
tell me what u think. have i watched Ghost Whisper 1 to many times?
Comment 53, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
we dont know for sure if locke is dead or not and judging by the connection with him and the island there is a real possibility that he will be saved and there def was someone in the chair but i dont know who it was…this episode was crazy

Locke isn’t really dead.. He’s only badly injured. I’m POSITIIVE the island will heal him in a day or two!! You can count on that!

Why did Alpert let John do his thing? Looks like Ben’s agenda is overriding Jacob’s. Why does Jacob need help? Jacob is not Smokey.
More Daddy issues too.

What an awesome episode. I also thought that I saw a man in the chair for a split second.
I will say, although some of you are freaking out, we didn’t actually see Locke die.

wow… what a show, locke is not dead please, someone will come for him, who is jacob, what’s up with the dead mom, why did jacob need help, who are the hostiles, that russian dude was running for a hell of a long time, desmond is he dharma, hostile, lostie, what the hell is he, ben is ruthless we know that, we also know he lies, man i hate this show……just kidding
Comment 63, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
1) Richard hasn’t aged a day since 30 years ago.
2) Locke is…*gulp* DEAD? OMG! OMFG!!!!!
3) Ben has some serious birthday issues. Apparently his idea of a birhtday party is murdering a new person. (mama, daddy, locke).
Comment 64, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
I don’t think that Ben should be considered special for seeing his mom…Haven’t lots of the Losties seen dead people from their past, people they had unresolved issues with?
Comment 65, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
Locke is dead, just face it. The writers had to prove how tough they were by killing the patriarch. So predictable in this day and age. What a disappointment.

Comment 74, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
Great episode!
Some points:
- Yes, Richard is 30+ years old and hasn’t aged a day. Is he one of the islands original inhabitance? How many toes does he have?!
- This adds more fuel to my theory I’ve said many times before: There is another set of “others”, more primative and unkempt, than what we see with the Ben group. Perhaps the Richard group that helpd Ben kill the Dharma people is a splint group from the main Others?
- This proves one thing: The Russian wasn’t lying when he told Syaid that he was the last of the Dharma survivors.
- I always thought the whsipers in the jungle were ghosts. Pretty boring however if it turns out to be an island of ghosts and angry spirits. Very lame. This could be the “jump the shark” episode if that’s what it turns out to be.
Comment 75, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
Serious question about the “natives” or “hostiles”.
It appears quite apparent that their biological aging is inhuman, they made a point in this episode to show that Alpert hadn’t aged a day in 30 years, implying some sort of immortaility property here.
But if thats the case…where are the rest of the natives now? Ben said theres little to none of them left, that they had to recruit new people from teh outside, so what happened to all the other natives we witnessed at the end of the purge?
Comment 76, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
Help me out here:
If Ben was the outsider, the only non-native, why the hell would they let him be the leader? That doesn’t make any sense unless:
1. Ben has some special powers because of the island.
OR
2. Ben is merely a ‘pinocchio’ where Jacob is the puppetmaster.
OR
3. Ben has discovered a way to kill/affect natives at will in such a way that they are genuinely afraid of him and take direction from him. (This would make some sense of the ‘help me’ comment by Jacob).
What do you all think?
Comment 77, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
1) as much as i luv locke, he has to stay dead. mikhail was a big enough shocker. i can’t handle 2.
2) ben killed his father & betrayed dharma to get in with the hostiles. i think that is more proof that u hav 2 kill in order 2 b accepted.
3) i think we should all sing the happy birthday song to ben so mayb he’ll calm down & quit killin people every year on his birthday.
Comment 78, posted 1 year, 6 months ago - Quote and reply
Oh, and uhh, if these natives had no contact with the outside world prior to DHARMA, how the hell are they so civilized and technologically sophisticated? Where’d they get the gas and masks employed in executing the purge?
Methinks Season 4 will be about natives…

1) Richard’s timeless. Yes.
2) Locke’s hurt…dramatically. Yes.
3) The Others (Hostiles) didn’t murder the Dharma people. This ep was clearly setup to make us sympathize with them, but how could people w/o access to technology develop a bioweapon like that? It probably CAME from Dharma. And if they couldn’t live peacefully on the island, then perhaps there was a state of war there and they needed to be repelled.
4) Ben’s not the only one on the island who sees dead people. I know no one likes him anymore, but remember Jack?

Did anyone else find it odd that Richard looked the same in the flash back of young (12yr or so) Ben as he does now; 25 to 30 years later??? And on top of that, when Locke heard Jacob say “Help me,” am I just crazy, or did the voice sound like Christian Shephard’s ( Jack’s dad) ??? Great episode!

I agree Laura - lots of the other lostie have seen things that shouldn’t be there eg jack ’saw’ his dad, Kate ’saw’ the black horse, blonde girl whose name has just gone out of my head…boones sister, ’saw’ Walt and probably lots more.
I think the most intersting part of this episode was that Richard was a hostile while the Dharma initiative was running and that he didnt’ seem to age - was about 20yrs older than young-Ben and in present time hes about 10 or so yrs younger than Ben.
The Jacob part…..no comment yet!
(I’m going to go seriously off topic for a second….I’m not liking the masses of posts that just dont’ have any relavence, eg ones talking about past episodes and most annoying are the posts that just say ‘crap episode’ / ‘loved it’ - its boring and childish and pointless…..much like the last part of my post but I just HAd to say something as its been annoying me and keeping me away for a few weeks now)

Spin - It’s very possible Ben gave the same nerve gas to the Others as he used on his father. They had gas masks too which he probably gave them.
Ben is the leader probably because it was his idea to kill the Dharma people.
I’ve often thought that Dharm first used a bio-weapon on the island’s natives that killed most but not all. Could be that Alper and pals is all that is left of the original natives.

I seriously doubt that Locke is dead. Firstly, why would the writers kill off a very popular character just one episode before the finale if they truely want him dead? Wouldn’t it make much more sense to build up the suspense with teasers saying that a fan favorite would die in the finale? Secondly, far too many issues with Locke and the Island are still up in the air; for being a fairly essential plot line, this is too quick of a way of tying off this story line. Thirdly, and as with most of what I have to say this is just my opinion, I think the writers were in an odd position with Locke in these last couple of episodes. Obviously they want a major confrontation between the Others and the Losties, but whose side would Locke be on? If Locke is still around after visiting Jacob with Ben, then
