The Story of the Oceanic Six
1 year, 4 months ago by WillRead more: season 5
With what essentially represents a one week hiatus, tonight we get a Season 5 (and general Lost) recap with The Story of the Oceanic Six. It will be all downhill from here given where the show left off last week – Sawyer’s plan unraveling and the injection of our third mysterious group (“What lies in the shadow of the statue?”), so embrace the hiatus and let’s hope that Season 5 finishes off as strong as it has been up to this point.

I saw a commercial today that said we will see their story in an all new way. Does that mean we are getting new scenes?

The ABC Press release is worded in such a way that it would seem we will see some new scenes. Perhaps footage that was shot, but edited for time?

Comment 8, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
I am almost certain when they say ‘a whole new way,’ they are referring to a way in which they play every old Oceanic 6 scene, in order, perhaps with Michael Emerson making some creepy comments.
Comment 9, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
what would be really cool is if they showed it from Richard and the other point of view…how they are viewing everything thats going on…but that would be an episode..not a recap…would be really cool though…but i guess the reason they are so intriguing is because they are so mysterious

Dont get it…. so is this going to be an episode or a hole bunch of clips and bonus footage mingled together to form a larger mess than this season I mean love lost to death but come on it the first time that im totaly crazii confusedddddd.

Well, whatever it is we are getting tonight, I’m still geeked for it. Bring it on!!! *g*
Comment 15, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
Maybe they will show what we have seen so far for each person, but in a recap that shows the actual timeline, so we can stop guessing what happened when since they left the island and came back…?
Comment 16, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
I am so excited about tonight. I think they are going to show us things that are so obvious and we missed all along. I don’t know. My son has to go to batting cages with his baseball team and I am trying to get out of it because I am more excited about this than the episodes. It’s gonna be GREAT. I can feel it!

Comment 22, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
Have you guys seen the “bonus footage” on the dvd set with the mockumentary on the O6? Do you think they are airing that tonight? The narrator is speculating that the crash was some kind of hoax and presents a bunch of evidence.
Comment 23, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
So far just a recap. I hope we get something new
Comment 24, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
What a bummer!!!! Why even show this???
Comment 25, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
So far I am thinking what a waste of what few hours that are left. I agree with several of the posters that I was thinking it would be looking at the O6 from the angle of Widmer or Mrs Hawkins. But so far I dont think I have anything new. Maybe this last half hour will be better, I can only hope
Comment 26, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
the only thing that i caught (which was new for me personally, let me know if this was mentioned before) was that when Ben woke up in Tunisia after he turned the wheel you can see the jacket he is wearing has the name “halliwax” on it….thought it was interesting.
Comment 27, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
The narrator did confirm that Ben actually went 10 months into the future from January 2005 on island time, and Lodke went 3 years to 2008.
Comment 28, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
This episode would have been more interesting if it had been narrated by one of the characters. Or, alternatively, this could have just been used as an “extra” bonus hour before the finale since it served as a recap of the whole season. As it aired, it seemed to disrupt the flow of the story arc.
Comment 29, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -

I had forgotten that Ben saw the footage of Sayid on the news talking about Nadia’s death the day he went to hotel and found out how far into the future he had moved. So he really couldn’t have been responsible for her death, could he? Am I missing something?

Comment 43, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
If Widmore knew exactly where Hawking was in L.A., why would he have such trouble finding the island? She had no trouble telling Ben and the others how and when to get there, I mean, that couldn’t have been the first time that the island was visible and reachable since Widmore left? It doesn’t make sense to me…
Comment 44, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
I still laughed when Hurley threw the hot pocket…funny every time!!
Did anyone else notice how Ilana NEVER answers a question? I’m starting to think she might work for Ben…
Comment 45, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
why couldn’t we have at least 5 min of new footage?
here is something i thought of tho-we know that rose and bernard were flashing around also, so maybe they were taking shelter in the cave, the “incident” happens possibly in 2007 thanks to Ilana and friends, somehow affecting the folks in 1977, Rose and Bernard die in 1977, they become Adam&Eve-i don’t recall now who exactly found the bones in 2004, but even if it was Rose, so what, b/c miles saw himself as a baby; therefore Rose could check out her own bones.

i was thinking about nadia’s death too, the only thing is ben gets transported to tunisia, makes his way to town, and happens to see sayid on tv, after nadia was already dead. maybe he wasn’t responsible for her death, but he still could have lied to sayid about widmore being responsible so to convince him to start taking revenge

Oh yes, I agree that he could (and probably did) lie about it being caused by Widmore, but there had been some talk in the past on this blog that Ben had been responsible for her death and I really don’t see how that could be possible…I don’t even think he could have coordinated it, the crash obviously happened before he showed up at the hotel and I don’t think he had a cell phone on him out in the Tunisian desert to call his cronies to murder Nadia who he wouldn’t even have known was Sayid’s wife!

Ok so the recap gave me some new thoughts about Jack. Is it cool to post theories here or is that considered spoilerish?
Comment 51, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
Am I the only one that just saw new scenes? Or did I totally miss a few episodes? (not likely but we do have lost parties here so I may have been a little tipsy the first time I watched them)
Comment 52, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
OK,so I know I’m totally beating a dead horse or whatever the saying is, BUT, I’m going to go back to the fact that John was told to bring the O6 back to stop the time flashes. The narator siad it tonight. He said that Richard Alpert told John to bring them all back to “stop the time flashes”. But just turning the wheel did that. So did Alpert lie to John? Did he want them all back on the island for some other reason? I know Wingman already tried to explain this to me before, but it still bugs me.

Um, I am turning the FDW and just forget I wrote any of this LOL.
I don’t know about it being totally bad. At least we got to watch it straight thru. We didn’t have all the jumping around like we did when we watched the episodes. It was always jumping. Here we got to see it without all the flashing around from here and there and this year and that year. I wouldn’t say it was horrible. Just expected alot more out of it.
I am more confused than ever.
What my question is, if someone could please try to explain, is even if Ben DID jump forward 10 months, what exactly does that mean? I KNOW what everyone is saying, so does that just mean for 10 months he didn’t exist or what? Was he flying thru a hole at that time? I get the “going back in time.” I just don’t understand where he existed those 10 months. I already can picture the responses I am going to get to this question, but I don’t know if anyone REALLY gets what I am asking…..I mean with Locke we don’t even know the time he was actually in when he flashed, or do we. Ben flashing just seems different to me. Something doesn’t add up….
Comment 55, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
this was actually cool as it gave a chronological timeline, kinda. eloise hawking was arch. had to peep carefully to see if there were any reveals on the lamppost station i missed. not really, a lot of stuff is open for later interpretation, that’s probably purposeful. she did say that’s how DI found the island and showed a 1954 military photo. all that means is dharma arrived after 1954, which we already knew. we dont know if the clever fellow who built is was dan, but he stepped into one of the dharma stations (when charlotte was still alive) and stepped out a little while later. we dont know if he went somewhen else, but he might have time travel dialed in by now…

oh and ten months passed between ben turning the wheel and landing in tunisia but not for him. remember widmore’s 53 years was only 4 days for locke.

The thing that bothers me about the flashing through time is the location Jack ends up in after he flashes. Twice now he has ended up on his back in the middle of a bamboo forest. He was not with the crash of 815. Hurley, Kate, and Sayid experience this as well after 316. maybe Jack has been on the island before and he comes back on 815. They O4 end up in entry points much like the Tunisia Dessert is an Exit point. Any thoughts?

I’m with you. It’s really strange that Jack is lying in the middle of the jungle, away from the crash during the pilot episode. I think there is definitely something significant about that.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I missed the entire episode because it was being broadcast in SPANISH!!! What’s up with that?!
Comment 61, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
Thought alot about Jack during the recap and developed some theories as a result.
1. I think Jack flashed to the Island during the Oceanic crash. This explains his distance from the wreck and his inability to remember the crash. He doesn’t remember b/c he wasn’t there.
2. After Kate said to Jack “I’ve always been with you,” on Penny’s boat I began to believe that they are Adam and Eve. Just seems like that line means more than meets the eye.
3. He walks among us but is not one of us. Is Jack somehow an other? Think about the conversation Claire had with the psychic. The exact quote is:
“It can’t be another. You mustn’t allow another to raise your baby.”
But what if it was broken up this way?
“It can’t be an other. You mustn’t allow an other to raise your baby.”
The island doesn’t seem to have a problem with anyone else raising Aaron as long as its not Jack. I know this is far-fetched and probably way off base, but that’s why its a theory.
Thats all I got for now. I know some of these thoughts have probably been brought up here b4. If I am repeating my apologies. (Consider it a recap.)

I guess technically the last time John turned the wheel, they flashed to the 70′s and now they’re stuck so maybe bringing them back will help get them out of the 70′s and back to “real time”. I don’t know…

I don’t remember John being told that he had to bring the O6 back to “Stop the flashes”. I remember that he was told that he had bring them back to save everyone they left behind. Richard tells john that he must die in order to get them to come back.
Did I miss the conversation on stopping the flashes?
I thought John was able to stop the island from skipping through time by putting the FDW back on it’s axis.

I like the way you break this down. Even Hurley tells jack that he is not supposed to raise Aaron. I also remember something about an attempt to bring the whole family back together again. Could that refer to the Christians (maybe in more then one meaning of the name).
This also could be a reference to “Family” or “Tribe” that they need to bring back together. I know this is stretching things a bit far, but it would fit into the whole biblical reference theories that are floating out there.

Oh one more thing I noticed. I thought I heard the scene wrong before in a flashback episode, but when Sayid turns to leave from the marina, and Ben asks where he is going, Sayid tells Ben that if he sees him again it will not be pleasant for either of them. In last night’s scene, and in a previously aired flash back scene, he says that if he sees Ben or him again it would not be pleasant for any of us.
Did anyone else notice this change, or an I just too obsessed and making things up now?

@ steve –
It’s a simple first-person EDIT…It’s done all the time on TV show flashbacks as to centralize the focus on one relationship as opposed to the varying relationships…It’s only purpose is to filter out what they don’t want the viewers to focus on…In this case the relationship of Ben and Sayid is the one they want you to focus on, so they filter out Jack’s aspect of Sayid’s rebuttal…Obviously if you’re in the alternate timelines zealot faction these words mean nothing to you…

That is why I think that when Ben “Broke the rules”, he didnt do so by “killing” Alex, he did so by coming back to the island.
Right before he went to turn the donkey wheel, he told Locke that Jacob “wanted him to suffer the concequences”, and that whomever moved the island could never come back.
Then he came back. He’s such a liar.
Good Guys: Whidmore, Locke, Richard, and Christian.
Any attempt to make Ben out to be the good guy @ the end would be ridiculous….IMO……Much like the arguments from some who frequent this blog and try to make that argument.

Whether siblings or bed partners (I am going with bed partners), it makes sense that she and Widmore still maintain ‘contact’.
Widmore isn’t ‘allowed’ back on the island whether he finds it or not. I believe it to be true because he seems to have located it at least once and didn’t bother to go himself.
Ellie has been ‘making sure’ things that are supposed to happen get course corrected to ‘save us all’. Widmore participated in that by helping Dez get his message to Ellie for Dan. It seems that Ellie, Ben and Charles are ALL making sure WHH so that the war can happen. It seems that the two sides think that if they get the ‘right’ people to the island, their side will win. It seems that the only thing they are not sure of is WHO will win this war.

Exactly…this guy is a systematic killer…Whether it be with his own hands or from his “corporate” suite where he delegates…None of those other characters have even close to the track record Ben has when it comes to dishing out murder…Additionally his mentality is that of a person who treats life as fleeting and marginal by most standards…
Locke:”You just killed everyone on that freighter…”
Ben: “So”
Ajira Jack: “What’s going to happen to all these people on the plane?”
Ben: “Who cares…”
His entire mentality feeds into the premise of his person….
Again I love Ben as a character…Often times I’ll find myself grinning hard, and pumping my fist in the air when he makes a statement or manipulation that I find awesome…He is GOOD CHARACTER, but to pretend like he is equally a GOOD PERSON would be like walking out of a chemical factory praising the smell as if it were roses….All you people who wanna hold on to the premise that dear old Ben is actually a good guy, go right ahead, but I won’t let the inevitability of his ultimate goodness cloud the actuality of his actions…Ben calling Sayid a killer, is the pot calling the kettle smoke monster black…While he does have a definite side of sympathy, the preponderance of the evidence is very much against his GOODGUY wool over peoples’ eyes…

I just look at it like this: We still don’t know what is going on here. We still don’t know if Ben is on the good side or the bad side…but, I feel like the Others have been protecting themselves throughout the history they have shown us. People keep coming to the island and try to do things that the island doesn’t want. So for now I think they are good guys and Ben is doing whatever he has to do keep them protect the good side…therefore IMO he is a good guy. Yes, his actions are distasteful at best…but don’t we call many people heroes that kill bad guys? Just sayin…

going to ask another question…has anyone else thought it was interesting that two of the people who came back to the island via the freighter (charlotte and Miles) were actually Dharma kids? Could it be that Faraday and Naomi were also Dharma kids? Was there a forshadowing of events that led Dharma folks to get mothers and children off the island?

To me, Mrs. Hawking doesn’t really seem the outsider. I really want the story that shows us how Charles and Ellie “became” Widmore and Mrs. Hawking. What happened to lead them to such different places?
I dont understand how could Dan be Charlottes cousin who are her parents did I miss something
also I missed the coming atractions for next week my dvr cut out can any one fill me in

Yes, I do think there was a foreshadowing!!
The comic con video is evidence that Chang knew ‘it’ was coming. Charlotte’s babbling seems to indicate that Dan was there in the 77 when Charlotte was young and was told to leave, he likely told Chang too.

Comment 99, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
I think Widmore and Ellie had a relationship on the Island. Ellie got pregnant on the island then left before she gave birth (would explain why Faraday didn’t get nosebleeds during the flashes). I think she was ordered to leave by Widmore to protect them from the the purge that happens.
I think Ellie finds out after they left the island that Widmore was having an affair with another “outsider” and had another child (Penny). This might explain why Widmore knows where Ellie is in LA, but don’t have a relationship anymore (yes I know we don’t know when the last time they spoke but that’s why it’s a theory!)
This would then lead to another theory of mine that Ellie (Ms. Hawking) may be the third party everyone is talking about (Ilana Bram & Co.). I know we see her working “with” Ben leading him to believe he has someone on his side “helping” him, but in fact maybe she’s “using” him to help truly protect the island.
Did that make any sense? Does anyone have any thoughts? I’m ready to be shot down…for some reason I can’t get away from this idea that Widmore and Ellie had “relations” LOL….help!

Just to add to the discussion…..just because I think Ben is on the good side doesn’t mean I think everything he does is ‘good’. I feel that in the story, he is on the good side.

I haven’t seen this ‘episode’ yet, but since I figured it was a recap, I thought I’d make a one-time-only visit to this blog on a Thursday (it’s on here on Sunday).
Anyhoo. Am I right in thinking that Mrs (Ms?) Hawking is the only person to be able to move outside of time without flashing other than Des?
In Flashes Before Your Eyes, with the ring scene, she is aware when Des does something he didn’t do before. She steps outside of what she presumably did in the original sequence of events. I know it was Des’s consciousness travelling, but they knew each other in 316 and they haven’t met at any other time as far as I remember, so she remembers it too.
I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I wonder if it has something to do with Jughead/the incident and so is not yet off the island as some have speculated in recent weeks, given her absence (off course, she could be off-island in the same way Dan was off-island).
And Hammer, I’m not sure what you mean by Ellie/Hawking “‘making sure’ things that are supposed to happen get course corrected to ’save us all’”.
I’m not saying I disagree, just that I don’t understand – are you saying she’s trying to change what happened via course correction? I thought she was the original proponent of WHH? Give me something to chew on :-)

First of all course correction IS WHH. Course correction makes sure WHH.
What I was trying to say was that when Des tried to go ahead and buy the ring that he originally did not buy…she course corrected by pulling him aside and telling him he was doing the ‘wrong’ thing. She was also telling him to let Charlie die because he was supposed to. Another example is she helping get the Losties back to the island where they belong. It was another course correction to make sure WHH…IMO.

I Absolutely agree.
definitely with Anna-Lucia, maybe with Rousseau, Desmond is not self defense, but perhaps manslaughter – he did not know. Arzt was arrogant, and Some have perceived a threat. All the others had a choice, or outright premeditated.
But Self defense is a man made loophole for legal guilt, but the commandment reads (Thou shalt not kill)
I figure that is fair considering the religious overtones of the show.

As long as we’re going through the list…

TRUE, but not pre-meditated, and certainly not purposeful.
Jack – Kills his father’s carrier causing dad to drink himself to death
Assuming you meant his father’s career, I think this is a VERY big stretch. Christian killed his own career by drinking.
Locke – Kills Naomi
TRUE. Locke would probably tell you it was self-defense *G*
Hurley – Kills Other on the beach with a VW Dharma Bus.
TRUE – I think he’d plead self-defense as well.
Desmond – kills over 100 passengers on 815 when he causes the magnetic anomally in the Swan station.
This is not murder. I sincerely doubt that ANYONE would even call it manslaughter. He DID, however, kill Inman, though that was arguably accidental.
Rousseau – Kills all of her team.
TRUE – but she’d get off with an insanity defense.

Well if you are going to ignore evidence (examples) that strives to prove a point, then that is what it is…Additionally I never said he is on the side of EVIL or that he is inherently EVIL (as in being the devil in human form or something), just that he’s not a GOODGUY, even if he’s on the GOOD SIDE….
Also Hammer, please, no need to pillow-cushion your posts for me (I’m not as Pollyanna as some of your haters)….I promote vigorous debate, defense of points, and spirited back and forth discussion…I give as good as I take, so no need for preemptives…I thrive on free and unfiltered speech and debate, even if it gets a little heated…That’s passion for the show…
@ steve –
The flaw your MURDER-LIST argument, in my humble opinion, is that Ben is a SYSTEMATIC killer, manipulator, and psychological torturer…The other characters who have killed have mostly no prior records of murder or malice (except Sayid who went through an expressed period of making up for his sins)…In the heat of the moment all of us have the capacity for murder, but Benjamin Linus (based on evidence—You know that stuff Hammer can’t be bothered with), has shown a systematic, premeditated, maliciousness that supersedes pretty much all of the transgressions of our other characters…When killing people (or getting them killed via proxy) is an item on a checklist, you have surpassed normal standards of pathos and understanding…
One item I think is being severely ignored here is that the Smoke Monster (The thing that can steal and manifest your thoughts and memories) basically tells us, the audience, that Ben is planning on killing Locke yet again!! If he attempts this the monster will hunt him down and DESTROY him…Now who in here thinks that Ben is higher up on the island ladder than the smoke monster??????????????? Ben may get redemption of some sort, but to call him a GOODGUY is beyond my standards of interpretation…

Nobody else’s list even comes close to Bens.
Plus, Bens were, for the most part, all intentional.
Some of those listed like Desmond killing the people on 815, and Jack “killing his father’s career are grasping at straws.
See how silly it looks when you try to write out the wrongs of the other 815ers? Bens list is that long all by itself.
Comment 132, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
Thanks Hammer. I get what you mean now.
I wonder if Ben hearing Locke’s mention of Mrs Hawking shortly after his suicide attempt was the point at which he realised he could go back himself, ie. that was the ‘critical information’ that he needed.
I still think the moment in 316 when Hawking said Ben was probably lying was more about his knowledge of the Lamp Post than whether she trusts him.
Comment 133, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
In My Opinion – and just my opinion
Jack was a stretch
Christian was a doctor, and he knew better – I stand by this one.
Hurley was not in danger he premeditated and killed that guy. In the end he had a choice.
Locke – No danger with Naomi- He killed her in cold blood. could have disable her, but he killed her.
I’ll give on Desmond he had no idea was happening, but he was the at the root of the crash.
I give Rousseau self defense because the only actual killing we witnessed was Robert, and he raised his gun.
My point is many of our favorite characters are less then innocent, and maybe far from “Good”. I really love this show, but I would not want hang around with any of these people.
But Rose is still a rose!

The Ben debate could go on forever, but just to play devil’s advocate (literally, in some people’s eyes), when he says ‘who cares?’ regarding the fate of the non-06 on 316, he may well know that the plane is going to land just fine (ie. Hammer’s runway, which he likely knew was in construction if Juliet did).
As for killing all the people on the freighter, Keemy and, arguably, Widmore, did that. Keemy had, after all, just killed his daughter.
I think the writers have been playing the ambiguity card ever since ‘we’re the good guys jack’ ever since the end of season 2 and we’re meant to be having these arguments.
PS. Jack tried to kill Locke at the beginning of Season 4. And I think he’s a ‘good’ guy. But I’m with PJ on the no black and white easy answers on this show. And what was with those stones?

I had been kicking this around for a while, and what I think happens here, is that while Des is flashing in to this time period, Eloise is also flashing into this time period from somewhere else(???) so she knows already what will happen.
Think also to Charles Widmore (who presumably has never time traveled BUT has started having nightmares of some sort…) there is a point in 1996 when Des and Widmore are talking in the bathroom at the auction, and Charles leaves the faucet running, like he knows that the noise of the faucet will lull Des “out” and cause him to flash back to present time. I wonder if 1996 Widmore was aware of this, or 1996 Widmore was actually “the present” Widmore inside 1996 concienceness.
The only part I haven’t quite grasped yet, is what exactly it is that causes these time conscience flips, and if they can occur to people after they are completely off the island. I think they can, and is a result of alot of the visions that everyone has. (Think Jack telling the doctor in the hospital to go get his father “from upstairs” during his Flash foward… was that really just Jack from the past talking through Present day Jack?)

Also, father issues. Every single character has father issues. Seems pretty significant. Is the island meant to be some sort of “father” in their lives? Christian theme? They’re all having/wanting to retun to their Father via personal test of faith? Let’s see…
Jack….broken/rocky relationship with Christian.
Kate…blew up abusive stepfather.
Hurley….abandoned by dad at age 10, dad came back when he won the lottery.
Locke….evil father, abaondoned him, came back and stole his kidney, tried to kill him.
Sawyer…father committed suicide.
Jin…father too ashamed to be around due to Jin’s mother.
Sun….well, we know Paik.
Sayid….father tried to make him kill his pet chicken.
Ben…well, we know Roger Linus.
Miles…Dr. Candle/Hallowax abandoned him. More to find out on this one I think.
Faraday…Hmmm….don’t know yet.
Claire…abandoned by Christian. Or now reunited?
CS Lewis…left island with mom never saw dad again.
Aaron…abandoned by father.
Penny…well, we know Widmore.
Des…Well, father-in-law is Widmore.
Jules…Well, don’t know. Hmmm…maternal issue? All the pregnant women on island lose their babies.
Just a thought.

Ana Lucia was pregnant, and when shot by a perp, her unborn child died.
Kate blew up what she THOUGHT was her abusive step-father, but then learned he was actually her biological father.
A man (we presume is Sayid’s father) tried to make a boy (we presume was Sayid’s brother) kill a chicken. SayidBoy did it voluntarily so that the other boy did not have to.

I am not sure that we have heard anything official lately, but I believe the plan is “early 2010″ for the beginning of season six. For season five, “early 2009″ meant January, but for a while, they were saying February.
Not much help there, sorry.

In the past, we usually all refered to Richard Alpert as Captain Eyeliner, or Guyliner, but pretty much since they showed the statue, everyone has been calling him RA – the connection to the ancient Egyptian god not missed. Someone on another blog mentioned that this seems to be the trend on several other blogs as well. I guess great minds really do think alike!

After re-watching LADOJB I see how the coming war is shaping up. Widmore’s army consists of the losties. Locke is Widmore’s general. Ben has always just been a thorn in Widmore’s side and now he will be Locke’s assassin, basically on Widmore’s side. Illana and Bram are on the other side — and not sure who their leader is yet.

Totally off any topic – where can one find online this season’s Lost episodes? I see that the last four are available at ABC.com, but can you find the previous ones somewhere else?

All seasons are still on abc site. Just click on the season you want. Use the up and down arrows.
BTW—Whatever happened with the Fantasy Dark UFO? Did that go by the wayside?

They’re still running it, but it is always difficult to find where they post the results each week. I know I started out strong in the first couple of weeks and then took a big ole nosedive and haven’t recovered!
They don’t make it easy to find the results, but the best way is to go to
http://darkufo.blogspot.com/
Hit search (top right of the screen) and put LOST, fantasy, league, week, and the episode number in the search box. That should pull up the results from that week. They haven’t posted SLiH results (as far as I can find) yet.
Good luck,

Enjoyed watching the events of the O6 play out in a more fluid manner. Glad they confirmed the Hawking/Faraday theory, now we just need to see who else is in that bloodline. I agree with everyone that feels the Shepherd blood line is crucial as well. Boone said it best to John, “You need to get the family back together”… or something like that.
The good/evil debate has not and will not ever be finite. The shades of grey between the main characters “Daddy Issues” and “ability to kill” (in cold blood or self defense) will be a constant theme and struggle throughout this series. I think whoever mentioned the stones as the only black / white is right on.
Backgammon – Black and White
Risk – Shades of grey
(Not sure why I put this in… I’m just thinking out loud)
Sun could have also killed her “English Teacher”… he was holding the pearls.
The smoke monster also killed Mr. Eco
Also, When Herley confronts his imaginary friend Dave about not being the the Polaroid…he blames it on “Photoshop” and ask if he really thinks they blew up the “Death Star”
Comment 182, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
I’d hate to think that this “special” CONFIRMED anything. Yes they said (very casually) that Hawking was Daniel Faradays mother, but is that even anything worth noting? Is this special legit, or can we put it in the same cannon category as all of those “enhanced” episodes.
BTW, I hate enhanced episodes. Is it next Wedensday yet?

Hammer, I definately gotta side with Wingman on this one. I think it would be more like the opposite of cool if Ray was Jacob. Still though, I feel you in there being more significance to him than just the shoes. It’s hard to tell, Grampa Ray seemed like he was on a different planet to me when Jack visited him. Sort of fell into the whole 316 episode having this weird vibe, like it wasn’t really happening, Maybe it was just me, but that whole episode felt that way… Ray was no exception, like his mind was elsewhere. I think he will play into the story in some way (can’t forget about the WATCH too!) but no way is he Jacob.
…”Hey, is that Grampa Ray?!”

Cool, difference of opinion. I think it would be cool because it would tie in the family theory that someone brought up. Ray(if he was ever on the island), Christian, Jack, Claire, Aaron…(is Kate preg. with Jack’s kid?)….

I don’t see it as a copout at all if they reveal him to be a new character. That has been a major part of the story-telling all along; introducing new characters with new motives, new faults and new talents. Kinda like this blog. I would be disappointed if it were a character we knew already. JMO.
I saw the S4 premier the other day again and thought that the other patient that saw Charlie outside the mental hospital, along with Hurley, could have possibly been Jacob. Maybe Jacob has been hiding in the background all along, like the man at the beach with Locke or the man at Kate’s trial or the Dharma man at the barracks, we just haven’t seen him.

Comment 190, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
Hi everyone. I love the show and really enjoy reading this blog. I am very interested in the running conversation about who is the good/bad guy, Ben or Widmore. I have always held the opinion that they are both bad guys who each completely believe that they are right and the end justifies the means. Also, regarding “who is Jacob”. I guess I won’t have too many people in my camp regarding this one, but I never believed that there was a Jacob. Richard Alpert (whomever he may be) has always been in charge; he periodically allows mere mortals to THINK they are in charge and JACOB is just his way of keeping everyone in line. You know like “don’t blame me, that was Jacob’s decision”. Can’t wait for tonight’s episode.
Comment 191, posted 1 year, 4 months ago -
In many ways I agree with Leslie Post #190 I think both Ben and Widmore are bad people one maybe not as bad as the other. I think Jacob or Richard are the good guys that lets the bad people make mistakes then corrects that mistake or lets the bad person fall. In the end I think Jacob is Jacob, just who is he, is what we do not know yet. I do not think he is any one what we have seen. I think tonight we will see a lot of the future laid out for us. Since this is a no spoiler site I will say nothing more on that. I like many of you do alot of reading but little posting.

I agree with you on this Leslie and have said so in the past (and you are right, not many people agree with us!). To me, Jacob is the island’s “god” – an imaginary being whose presence explains the heretofore unexplained. It is similar to how the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks, Ancient Romans, Native Americans and other cultures created gods to explain the sunrise, the change in seasons, and other questions to which science had not yet determined the answers.
I found that several times in the last few episodes, one character has done something because “Jacob said so” an the other character looked shocked but didn’t question. Ben said, “Because Jacob said so,” to Widmore, who can’t say, “No he didn’t,” because Widmore can no more communicate with Jacob than Ben can. Neither can call the other’s bluff without giving up his own hand.
This doesn’t explain the prop-guy in the rocking chair, or the “help me” heard in the cabin, but I suppose Alpert or Christian could have rigged that stuff. *G*

Well I’m just going from the perspective that the creators had “everything” (atleast a large percentage of things) figured out from the start…So, if they just pull the Jacob reveal from outta thin air (like it being Gramps Ray or some un-named character yet to be revealed at this point), I don’t think it’ll have the same grand impact we’ve all been waiting for…Honestly it kinda devalues it a bit for me because you can MORE EASILY make Jacob some new character than keep it intertwined with the current characters…
Now that’s not to say that I won’t be amazed by whomever “Jacob” is if is revealed and explained amazingly, but I think the impact is quite heavier if it’s someone that’s been right under our noses all along…

@PJ – I’m more “cool” with that than I’ll ever be with Grampaw Ray, who’s somehow slapping retirement home nurses’ bums and at the same time is trapped in a time anomaly…Aaron makes far more sense, but I’m still leaning Jack…Call it the main-character power…You don’t make someone the main character for 4 seasons and just marginalize him in S5…I think that might be a ruse to make sleep on him a bit now that we’re near the end (Not that this is the only reason i think it’s Jack, there’s tons of $hit that makes me believe that, him never being on Jacob’s list being one of them)…But I reiterate, Grampaw Ray just seems quite lame to be Jacob at this point…

That was the episode that made it all clear to me. However, some new scenes would have been better. The episode has only scenes we saw from the previous episodes of Lost with just an explaining narrative voice-over.

This episode was a waste to all Lost Fans! We know what the hell is going on already. Quit wasting our time and start answering more questions!!!!
