Whatever Happened, Happened
1 year, 5 months ago by WillRead more: Kate, Lost Episodes
What a cliffhanger from last week – show of hands from everyone who thinks Ben is dead or is going to die (no hands, crickets chirping, etc.)? There are two lines of thought here – one that Sayid did manage to kill Ben as a child and therefore this spins off into an alternate timeline (far-fetched IMO) and then those that think somehow little Ben survives this mishap and goes on to become the evil genius we have grown to know and love. Ultimately, I fall into the camp that subscribes to the latter of those two scenarios, and further believe that these events have already taken place in Ben’s life, but are now just being realized in the life of the survivors of Flight 815 – hence last week’s episode where big Ben cryptically called Sayid a killer, and then ultimately Sayid delivered that line to little Ben when he shot him.
ABC’s Official Show Description
Spoiler Alert
“Kate goes to extreme measures to save Ben’s life when Jack refuses to help. Meanwhile, Kate begins to tell the truth about the lie in order to protect Aaron”
So, based on the show description this looks to be an episode focused around Kate and she is instrumental in saving Ben’s life. Hopefully we’ll find out what she did with Aaron prior to jumping on Flight 316 and quite possibly what Sawyer whispered to her at the end of Season 5 before he jumped out of the helicopter. This should prove to be quite an intense episode with little Ben’s life hanging in the balance!

So, I actually watched the sneak peeks. I am so excited about tonite! It’s crazy. I am still sticking with, this has all happened already:) Ben is going to live. He just has to. I think…..

I am hopeful that more pieces of the puzzle will start to fall into place.
I imagine it is a coincidence (if there is such a thing on LOST!) that the lightbulb hanging behind Kate in the promo photo looks like the head of the man on the cover of the book that BenBoy gave Sayid, but still…
Eleven hours!

Thought lots about the Carlos Castaneda book. I’ve read some of his stuff (its trippy) but not the book that was in last weeks show. He has a lot of stuff related to “finding ones purpose” Cant believe its already lost night-
and no offense Sayid, but I’m glad I can have Kates mug on my screen at work this week. Been looking at Sayid, Ben, Sawyer…too long.

Why is Kate standing like that in the promo pic? It looks very unnatural!

Comment 10, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Not really on topic with tonight’s episode, but I am trying to remember what Walt said to Locke when he met him outside his school. Did Walt mention that he had a dream about Locke on the island wearing a suit? And didn’t he mention something about the people around him on the island not liking him? I wonder if Walt still has a big part to play in all of this. The other were clearly afraid of him or at least very concerned when they were keeping him in room #23. I just think that somehow Walt fits back into the storyline somewhere.
Comment 11, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Judging by the title, I guess those who thought they were always apart of Dharma were correct, WHH. Good job.:)
It appears to be a Kate episode and hopefully another FB, the good story-telling, IMO. I too hope we will see what Sawyer “whispered” to her on the chopper and what she did with Aaron.

Yeah, if they follow the same FB line as they did Sayid, we hopefully will see what happened from the time Kate left the dock til she ended up at Jack’s. My theory is that Aaron is back on the island somehow. Maybe because I am sticking with, I think it was Claire in that scene with Sun and to me it looked like she was holding a baby, so not sure how the baby would fit in but I think it’s a clue! lol. It may just be me seeing that anyway. It’s like when you look at clouds and you see something different than the person standing next to you.
Comment 13, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I happen to like Kate (unlike many others, apparently) and am looking forward to some ANSWERS!
Why did she decide to leave Aaron?
With whom did she leave him?
What was Sawyer’s secret, and did she complete it?
Now that she’s in the DI, is she looking to start off with Sawyer where they left off (in the future!)
9 hours!
Comment 14, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I’m with you, Will. I think Ben has to survive.
If he were to die, then too much of what has happened in Seasons 1-5 would be negated (i.e., would never have happened because adult Ben would never have existed). The show would be even more psychedelic and complicated. For one thing, I think Sayid would no longer know why he even shot Ben.
You never know, though. I’m thinking that underground wheel needs to get turned again eventually, which could turn everything upside down again even if Ben dies.

Oh my goodness, I watched them too and I can’t wait for tonight!! I hope we do find out what happened with Aaron, she seemed upset about leaving him…and I hope we find out what she was doing for Sawyer.
It will be interesting to see what happens to little Ben, I mean, if the losties were really there all along as a part of Dharma, then it makes sense that Jack would step in and save him, as some have suggested, because that’s what he did all along…but I guess we’ll find out…

Comment 17, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
i am sticking with the idea that Ben had something to do with the disappearance of Aaron and the reason why kate got on the plane. I think Kate might have something to do with saving young Ben…needs him alive if she is ever going to see Aaron again…I agree with many others who said this is possibly a “rebirth” for Ben and why he says he was born on the island when we all know he was not.

Re: Sawyer’s whisper to Kate. Maybe it has to do with Sawyer’s daughter. I forget, did Sawyer even know that he had a daughter with the woman he conned? Didn’t she and Kate hang around together for a while?

Since the fb would actually be something that happened in the future, would we call them ffs instead? :)
Since I have been thinking that all the TT to the past episodes should be seen as fb (if WHH), it really gets complicated – thinking in terms of a linear time line, events are either in the past, present, or future, but if you look at any ONE person’s individual time line, an event from the future may be in THEIR past. Anyway, just saying that the terms “flash forward” and “flash back” may now be moot.
Comment 23, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
(Occasional reader, first time poster. I’ve actually been away from the blog since the blast door map was posted — Long time, eh?)
Ben MUST survive. The show has gone out of its way to show time and time again that you can’t **** with the timeline (unless your name is Daniel Faraday, but I have my own theories about that).
I agree with the speculators from last week’s episode who said that Ben will live and the gunshot wound would be the impetus for the tumor Jack will remove in 2004. In this universe, time does course-correct. We’ve seen it happen before.

Comment 30, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I’m guessing she gave Aaron to Claire’s mom. And wants to save Bens life because he knows or she thinks he knows what happened or where Claire is on the Island. And perhaps she promised to get Claire and Aaron reunited again. I don’t think Aaron is on the island because back in some episode where Kate had a dream and she saw Claire standing over Aaron and she said “Don’t you bring him back Kate, don’t you ever bring him back to the island.” And I don’t think Kate would ever do anything intentionally to put Aaron in harms way (like the island)
I wonder what Sawyer told her? Perhaps yes about his daughter. Some last errand he wanted her to do before he told her to stay with Jack because he knew ultimately she loves Jack. (One can hope right?)

Damn, I totally just got an April Fools joke pulled on me at work and I fell for it. Someone came into my office and took my car keys and then moved it to the opposite side of the building. I almost started crying about my car being stolen so they let me in on it while everyone laughed….not cool. ha ha :) Its got me thinking. Do you think they might try to pull one on us during the episode tonight? Not sure what they would be able to do though. I’m going to keep my eyes open for something.

Rita, you just made me think of something. So, I have always been a subscriber to the Social Construction of reality epistemology (as opposed to the Cartesian version of knowledge acquisition) and have always tried to put LOST into my thoughts.
Your comment above about ff/fb being relative to each character really got me thinking. I haven’t fully developed this yet, but perhaps what we the viewer sees is different each week based on each character’s socially constructed reality.
I know this sounds kind of off topic, but I think the final LOST explanation will depend on whether the producers/writers believe in an objective reality.
Thoughts??

So what do you think is supposed to happen tonight? Maybe it works both ways. I read this moning that a guy wrote this novel or poem or something called , A Vision. His view is that reincarnation does not occur within a framework of linear time. Rather, all of a person’s past and future lives are happening at once, in an eternal now moment; and the decisions made in any of these lifetimes influence all of the other lives (and are influenced by them).
I copied and paste that last little bit, hee hee. Point is, I wonder if it’s not just about time travel. The bigger question to me is WHY these people?

When Des attempted to save Charlie all those times he told him that he had a vision about seeing Claire and Arron get on a helicopter. Now whether he did that as a ruse to get Charlie to sacrificed himself to save everyone (looking glass) else I’m not sure.
Comment 52, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Heidi this is taken from Lostpedia (non cannon)
Desmond has yet another ‘flash.’ In it, he saw Charlie inside a facility of some kind containing a yellow blinking light and a switch, followed by Charlie flipping the switch, turning the light off, and then drowning. This action, according to the flash, resulted in Claire and Aaron boarding a rescue helicopter. At first, Desmond hesitated to tell Charlie this, but later laid it out for him, explaining that Charlie must die if the group hopes to be rescued. (Greatest Hits)
Comment 53, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Hmmm. Thanks. Was there more on this? Or did he tell Charlie this and that was it? Did Charlie as questions?
I really enjoyed Lost in the first 2 seasons because I felt it was believe-able. That is why I first starting watching it. But now, its so not. Although I am still addicted to it, I am rather disappointed. I know many friends and family that have stopped because it is getting so unrealistic and complicated. I wonder if I missed something about this, Des telling Charlie this when I was watching it as a hit and a miss when I had my daughter last year. Thanks again

You’re right, Walt told Locke that he had been having dreams about him. He had one of Locke where he was wearing a suit on the island and was surrounded by people who wanted to hurt him. For sure there is something special about Walt. How they are going to incorporate him back into the show though I’m not sure.

[Pause]
CHARLIE: Come on, Des. You can tell me. I can take it.
[Pause]
DESMOND: What I saw, Charlie, was Claire and her baby getting into a helicopter. A helicopter that lifts off–leaves this Island.
CHARLIE: Are you sure?
DESMOND: Aye.
CHARLIE: A rescue helicopter on this beach?
[Desmond nods]
CHARLIE: This Island–that’s what you saw?
[Desmond nods again]
CHARLIE: We’re getting bloody rescued! I thought you were gonna tell me I was gonna die again!
DESMOND: You are, Charlie.

Desmond did NOT specify Aaron – just “her baby.” When Claire didn’t get on the helicopter with the rest of the O6, Desmond’s “flash” being wrong didn’t bother me TOO much because he’d been wrong before.
After some more thinking, though, I wonder if Desmond’s flash was RIGHT but with the wrong baby? What if Kate or Juliet has a baby, or Claire has another. Maybe Desmond’s FLASH is of what will ultimately be the LAST episode? The helicopter rescue in the final scene?

IMO, the actor that plays Walt seemed to be lacking one major characteristic the last time we saw him, acting ability. I agree he has a part to play but I think his on-screen time will be very limited.

I think Desmond used this “vision” to convince Charlie to carry out the mission of the looking glass station. I do not believe that he actually had the vision that claire and aaron were leaving on a helicopter. The bigger question, to me anyway, pertains to Desmond’s visions. Has he, in fact, had more visions than the ones about Charlie’s death or was him obtaining that ability for the sole purpose of getting Charlie to complete his mission? I lean towards him not having any further visions but am wondering what others think.

Duke, I’m not so sure that Desmond was merely manipulating Charlie. He hasn’t shown that much guile to date. He was staight with him about everything else, so unless he had a vision specifically about him seeing Penny – which required Charlie’s sacrifice, then I don’t see it, AND if there was a vision about Penny, we didn’t see it.
If he has had further visions, they haven’t shown us that either, but I am inclined to believe he has not.

We saw some of Desmond’s visions or flashes, but not all. I believe that not long after the fail-safe key/purple sky event, Desmond tells Hurley about something that Locke said in his speech, when Locke had not yet made that speech. Not sure it that would be considered one of his visions.
In addition to that, there was also his vision of the parachutist – of which I think we saw a snippet. One vision we did NOT see was Claire with a baby in a helicopter. I wonder if that is significant.

Not sure about that. I think it’s kind of like Men in Black or the Hatian on HEROES. They take his memory, maybe just that incident or everything that preceded that incident. I think he will head back to Dharma with the LOSTies still and remember them but not Sayid. His list from Season 2 is coming together.

“Duty Assignments(?):”
High Priest(?): Richard Alpert
Leaders: Charles Widmore and Eloise “Ellie” Hawking
“I don’t answer to them.” – Richard
The Temple isn’t all that close to DHARMAville; how did Richard get there so quickly? Not in terms of the episode period, but in terms of having a bleeding kid in his arms.

Yes, I heard Richard say Elli and Charles as well.
I hope Horace dies B4 the purge. I cant stand his attitude, or face :)
I also wonder if Terry Oquinn (Locke) is getting paid the same per episode as when he had more than 2-3 lines per week. I wish he had more. he’s getting 2 B as mysterious as Christian.
Comment 108, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Okay, all the new posters are silent again. So I am going to do my Bed Time For Bonzo post now and lurk for a while:
I think that we just saw the entrance for the Temple and Temple is where one becomes enlightened and lose their innocence. The Temple is only for the enlightened ones (Ben said something about the Temple only being for ‘us’.)
I think Ben losing his innocence is enlightenment and ‘knowing the meaning of life’ in a way. He now know the ‘rules’ of fate and destiny. He now knows he has to do certain things and when they will happen and just have to take it.
And he always does just take it…until Keamy killed Alex…then he tried to break the rules. He turned the wheel when it wasn’t his turn, it was Locke’s turn. He changed Miles et al’s time line order. And I think he’s either killed Penny or has at least made an effort to which would be a rule breaker according to his conversation with Widmore.
Comment 109, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
About Richard’s comment re: Ben’s innocence -
This kind of reminds me of various stories where someone sells their soul to the devil for something. Or how if a vampire bites you, you are then always a vampire.
So the question is, what exactly is Ben giving up in exchange for his life? And why do Kate and Sawyer of all people get to make this decision for him? Or will Alpert somehow put Ben to a choice? hmmmm

Of course Ben thinks he was born on the island. Alpert explains that. We know more about young Ben then old Ben does.
The smoke monster is going to be a huge link here. Going to the temple will make Ben like Roussou’s friends.

Wow, a bit of a tear jerker tonight, at least the scenes with Kate and Aaron, I wonder if that is really why she came back, to find Claire?
I liked Miles’ explanation to Hurley about TT, it did sound a bit like a lurker reading all our posts, made me laugh! It made sense, however, especially the part about how their timeline is different from little Ben’s, it’s his past but their present.
I am hoping they explain what happens in regards to the Dharma-losties and the purge, and since Widmore and Hawking are still on the island, I hope we see why they left…maybe Alpert saving little Ben has something to do with that.
I’ll have to watch it again, but IMO, it was a great episode!

Leaders ( plural ), I like it. Although it is not confirmed, I thought so from what Ben told Hurley about the Purge.
So if Ellie is on the island still in 1977, IMO, there are 2 options. Either she is not Faraday’s mother or Faraday was born on the island. I am leaning toward the latter because I think they pretty much told us that she was his mother.
Comment 119, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
So, little Ben freed Sayid so that Sayid could take him to the Others so that he could be with them. Sayid essentially did just that unknowingly didn’t he? (Whether that was the result he wanted or not.)

Comment 124, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
In the past few weeks people have been wondering, why exactly did they have to go back to the island? Last week we got the answer for Sayid (however ambiguous it was), and this week we got the answer for Kate. But this week we also got a set up for a future explanation for Jack’s reason to go back (“I haven’t figured it out yet”)
I also thought it was interesting that they showed more evidence that Jack has become a man of faith. (even though Kate doesn’t like the new him, or the old him)
When Sawyer showed up to help Kate take Ben to the Others, I thought it was a pretty low blow for him to say “I’m doing it for her”, referring to Juliet.

Well, presumably, if the O6 didn’t leave the island, they would have experienced all the same flashes Sawyer, Juliet, etc experienced after Ben turned FDW, and the O6 would have wound up in 1974 along with Sawyer, Juliet, etc when Locke turned FDW. I think.

I thought this was a great ep for Kate. The goodbye scene with Aaron was heartbreaking. At first I thought she would leave him with Clementine’s mother, since they were friends and she knew everything anyway.
But we still don’t know why Kate changed her mind, decided to give up the ruse, and try to go back and find Claire? What caused that decision?

I have a question similar to Lost4ever’s last one. Other than the assertions from Ben and Locke, do we know why the O6 were not supposed to leave the island in the first place? One of the things I’m having the most trouble with is the premise that they have to go back to do (fill in the blank) because they were never supposed to leave. Well what was so wrong with them leaving? Why would that throw the timeline off if it was done in “present” time? Apologies if this is canon-esque at this point and I’ve just missed it — i’m new to the site. :)

Theory check please…
Danielle didn’t seem to remember Jin. Possible that she ended up in the Temple mind eraser? It still bugs me that she was able to live on the island so long without having trouble with the Others. She always seemed to know when to avoid trouble (enlightened?) until the rule breakers (Team Keamy) killed her and Alex.
Maybe we will see how it is that Ben gets Alex. Maybe she ends up in the Temple and she gets a deal that allows her to live, but in ‘exile’. Maybe for killing her group…give up the kid and we’ll let you live…and stay the hell away from us.

I thought she explained that to Cassidy. I am not sure if I believe she was going back to find Claire. She may now be on that path because Sawyer just set her straight ( sorry Skater’s ), but I think she was going back for Sawyer, originally. I think she just told Grandma Claire that she was going back for Claire to justify leaving Aaron with her.
“Hey I’m leaving this kid with you that I lied to the world about to go find your daughter” sounds better than “Hey I’m leaving this kid with you to chase the man I THINK I am in love with”.
Comment 141, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Kate off island…when was all that taking place? I mean I figure the Clementine scene was shortly after they got back because Aaron was still a baby, but it seemed like she visited Claire’s mom during the day? Gotta rewatch that…timing seems off.
Anyway, I think they were supposed to leave, in order to come back and have the effect that they’ve had and will have in Dharam. None of them knew that they would have this effect, but it is what has always happened.
To me, we are watching how this whole series plays out in a disjointed fashion, which is great for entertainment but we will ultimately not witness any “game changing” events, rather, “oh, that’s why he/she does this or that.”
So I’m now thinking Widmore wanted to exploit the island, and that’s why he got banned, which unfortunately is a blow to Team Widmore. Probably, neither Ben or Widmore is on the “right” side, bcuz Ben got corrupted with his power as well. I’m still holding out hope for Widmore though.

Not sure about the timing.
It seemed to me that Kate stopped at the grocery store on the way ‘home’ from the docks. This should have been the same time that Sun, Jack, Desmond and Ben arrived at the church and first went in to see Mrs. Hawking.
But she goes to see Cassidy during the DAYTIME, so it had to be the next day and then later she checks into the same motel as Carole and drops Aaron off.
Btw, it does NOT sit well with me that she left Aaron sleeping alone in the motel room, even if it was two doors down. After nearly losing him at the grocery store, she wouldn’t have wanted to let him out of her sight – especially if she knew she was “giving him away” shortly. I realize it was probably a kid-actor-time-limit thing, but that kind of thing really BUGS me!

First of all, I just want to say that Miles is hilarious and he needs more air time and the look on Ben’s face when he saw Locke sitting their alive was priceless.
On to business; I think what Miles explained is pretty much where the writers are going with time travel but he just doesnt know everything about it, only Faraday does. The WHH theory makes perfect sense to me but is still hard to explain; the only way i can is that they are expieriencing this for the first time but every choice they make they have always made because that is what always happened.
Also, I thought it was cool to see Richard take charge and basically say screw the leaders they do not control me…which is always true really because Ben never really had control of him which makes him more of a mystery.

Comment 171, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
TT is very simple. Miles was clear.
It is relative. Everyone is traveling within his/her own internal time frame of reference. Within that frame YOU only move in one direction – forward.
Despite this your forward-moving travel can go to different places with the time-space continuum, but you still travel forward. (Even as you move to places perhaps earlier in time.
The simple way to think of it is: You travel on a one dimensional path (a line) that is allowed to curve all over a two-dimensional time space (a plane — not that kind of plane).
So you can do what WE do all the time, which is just go straight, or your path can curve around on that flat plane, and take you to other times, but in your internal reference, your own time (your watch) will continue to move forward.
So, you CAN die, wherever you are because that is the NOW, CURRENT you — your future hasn’t happened yet, so no paradox for you dying. Your death in 1977 happens AFTER your getting on an airplane in 2008 (as far as you frame of reference is concerned). The 1977 people you meet CAN’T die (if they are still alive later) because the 1977 them is relativistically earlier.
This is all very clear to me, but I think I lack the vocabulary to say it simpler. A blackboard would help.
I can go on and on but I feel like I am going in circles, and nobody reads my posts anyway. (extrapolating from my n of 2)

I too am confused about why Jack and company had to come back to the island? I thought that the bad thing that happened upon the O6 leaving was all the time flashes. I thought that John was supposed to leave and bring them back in order to fix everything (I thought that to mean that it would stop the time flashes). Sawyer told his group that they would wait for the O6 to come back for as long as it took. Jin has been combing the island for the past three years looking for them to show up, and when they do return, it seems to be for nothing. Juliet tells Jack tonight that they didn’t need to be saved. Sawyer acts like they are all a nuisance and getting in the way of the good life he has built himself with Dharma. It just doesn’t make sense to me. What was all that stuff about “we were never supposed to leave”? “We have to go back”? Why was Sawyer willing to wait for as long as it took for them to come back, when he seems to not care now that they’re back? What has the return of the O6 fixed? Please, can someone help me?

Hammer, Re: Post 139, has an outstanding point. Rousseau should remember Jin and she probably doesn’t because her mind’s been wiped out in the same way that Alpert describes is about to happen to Ben. I like that theory.
Re: Detective Skywalker’s post (#162), remember when Sawyer first gets to Dharmaville and Alpert shows up because the Truce was violated (when Amy’s husband died)? Sawyer goes out and talks to him and calms the situation down–they pretty much reached an understanding.
Re: Poopy Pants in Post #170, I think Ellie is Widmore’s sister rather than lover, and I say that because when we saw them in “Jughead”, he treats her the way an older sibling would, as opposed to a love interest. Although I suppose it’s possible he could’ve just treated her like that to hide feelings for her, you know, like teenagers that can’t face their feelings and instead actually spew insults rather than words of affection. But I’m going for the siblings theory.

I think albert will heal ben by using the TT device in the temple. His warning about The omen kid never being the same I think is the evidence of that. But I have a feeling we won’t see exactly how ben is saved in the temple til the season finale(they might flash that with the incident), or next season. even though I feel the show’s theme is now cleary related to purgatory ( meaning free will, sins, judgement, right and wrong, and the cell one is forced to discover the parameters and reason for being in.
Last week I had a new theory on john having jacobs consciousness….that was sent to the future either by will or accident. I now think that theory does have real merit by alpert words tonight. OH! and after the dropped the book famous about experinments with consciousnes makes it even more probable. I ‘m pretty sure all of the other books where gathered around the same slaughterhouse theme, and this last book just doesn’t fit in. I mean lets not forget that Richard Alpert (the real Person) is the most import figure in american culture about LSD. More importanly He wrote the greatest book to ever pick up if you Were having a mind altering experience at that very time…the book was litterally made for you…and for that. No coicidence is the nod to him by the character who doesn’t age with he same name. Shit he was Timothy leary’s best friend…. and in no way as popular.
Apert takes him to the temple and uses the tt device to ‘unstick’ the omen kids conscouness form time and body, and stick it into another?
adult ben possibly? That would make my fellow lost fanatics clone theory true ( she’s been mumbling this forever) This explains why Ben is like jesus and has a blank life story until he’s an adult. maybe when unsticking the mind you see a glimspe of the future(sense your out of time) Ben sees the end game result of the numbers and is never the same afterwards. He becomes the asshole we’ve come to hate by trying to stop it. A collective effort by ben,alpert,eloise,widmore to change the future. eloise and widmore school faraday as a phycist to help…but have a disagreement on what should be done, or what can be done to change the timeline/endgame.
Anyone ever heard of Remote Viewing? It was basically an astral traveling program our shady governmant funded at Stanford in the 70′s. Teaching student to control their consciousnes enough to leave the body, retrieve information, and be able to retain that info on reintering the body. If the writers know about the philadephia experiment(surely they do), and the dahli lama reincarnation test, enough to use as well as they have; i don’t think using remote viewing for a method of TT is so crazy.

I couldn’t agree more!!!!
and I was lucky enough to have forgotten about that retarded waste of time/filler we watched explaining his tatto. I guess i count three 100% pure filler episodes now. i can only come up with the dual death by spider poison, and this ‘please pay attention to kate again crap’
It’s bad enough love googles are so blurred i choose to over look the fucking extra survivors they always use when they need a scene to waste our time but can’t can’t give that csi dialogue to a character we actually give a shit about. which is THE main point all the lost ex-fans share. Remember? that’s when Heroes first started and they all defected to that show. i feel I was attracted to this show in a fatal way. It’s like i see the filler…and i know the probable ending well. But i’ll still watch it…we all will. Tv always recycle the good stuff to use to hide all the crappy ones. and Lost Is the king of reclycling ALL of the best ideas. When the sex is that good ladies and gentlemen, I can’t help but think of Basic Instinct and how I’ll get stabbed in the end

I love you both for this. sounds like the truth to me. Could that be why the episode dragged on like that? Just take make sure ALL the viewers grasp the only point important in this episode. have the character developed the least explain the most important aspect on TT. kinda like showing a movie trailer a whole year before it comes out. something doesn’t suck as much if one is prepared for it.
So our lesson this evening is WHH LITTERALLY.
not a clue showing us all the books with similar themes. NO….the had MIles Completely break it down for us so there’s no room for error when they explain how Ben is ‘good’ and was being tested. They are going to do a lot of this so we won’t be pissed in the end.
IF WHH is a tt fact, then the only solution i see to stop end game is to create that 108 second loop to never reach it. The 815 crash is the course correcting AND the end of the loop. Maybe the phrase ‘they should’ve never left’ is refering to them leaving the island right AFTER the purge and in the 108 loop and then coming back again in 815.
Maybe if you die in the past your consciousness goes the day when you where born and reboots? Maybe you can only die if your future self is already dead too? your thoughts?
Because right now…. we have enough to guess the sentence…..but they need us to keep buy vowels

When Alpert appeared, Sawyer asked where did you come from. Alpert said “You asked my people to get me so here I am”. But how did he really know they needed him? I don’t think any of the crew that were with Kate and Sawyer actually went ahead withouth them, otherwise Sawyer would have put 2 + 2 together. Something fishy – time travel? Whisperers letting Alpert know?

I’ve been thinking about Jack, who is one of the charachers who has done a 180. For most of the series he’s been the man of reason. The hero — swooping in to save the day… find the water… get the survivors to the cave… get off the island… get back to the island to save his friends.
Now that he’s trying out the man of faith idea, he seems like a dead fish, waiting for something to happen instead of making it happen. Perhaps he will have a crisis of conscience when he re-thinks the idea not to operate on Little Ben? It’s something the (old) Sawyer would have done.

I think you’re on to something here… Perhaps Jack decided to accept all Locke’s destiny/island/faith talk since his science/mainland/reason wasn’t working for him. But like some people of faith, he’s waiting to be told what to do rather than just trying to be the best he can be until the island gives him a sign.
I also feel like Jack is a broken man in another way. Before the island, he wasn’t in a good place, drunk dad died, broken marriage, his career was all he had. On the island, as you say, he was the hero OVER and OVER, even when he didn’t want to be – that was his PURPOSE in life. He returns to the real world and has no purpose, starts the drugs and downward spiral. Returning to the island was his chance to return to a PURPOSE. Only now, Sawyer’s the defacto hero and he thinks he has to wait to learn his new purpose.

As we saw what happened to Aaron in the episode, makes me wonder why did Kate go running off to Jack later that night? And sleep with him? Was it because she needed some sort of comfort at the time, regardless if it was from Jack. Meaning did she really want it to be Sawyer? Does she still care for Jack? Do you think she wanted to deliberately get pregnant because she was so upset about Aaron?
I saw in a Jimmy Kimmell interview where he talked to Evangeline Lilly directly about the part where she goes to Jack and if she is pregnant.

So this comes from my son who is innocent and who hears things differently than I do. Instead of looking deep into what Miles said, maybe what he said is just strait forward and there is nothing to figure out. The past cannot be changed. But this isn’t the past. This is the NOW. The past has already happened for everyone including Ben. Time has now changed. This might not necessarily been the way it was the first time around in 1977. But it is now. It’s not that they are changing anything that happened in 1977, it’s that they are reliving 1977. Doesn’t necessarily mean this is the exact way it happened before but it is the way it is happeneing now. The episode should be named. “Whatever happens, happens.”
Ok, after reading that, maybe not. I know I amke no sense but don’t know how to put it:( I am going to hit submit anyway lol.

I am not quite sure how you can call this episode “filler content”. Did we not want to know what Sawyer said to Kate on the chopper? Did we not want to know what Kate did with Aaron? Did we not want to know why Kate went back? Sure, the answers to these questions weren’t the most exciting, but they were answers that we would have been upset had they not been addressed. Therefore, I am in disagreement that this is filler content. To me, filler content is that which we could easily get by without knowing, and last night’s episode was NOT that. Oh yeah, and did we not want to know how Ben was saved and ended up as an Other? No matter how well your ‘Grammer’ be, I don’t understand your hyperactive rants. I think you’re jealous.
Comment 198, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Before reading the comments I want to explain why I think this episode exemplified how great LOST has always been. This episode filled in so many blanks it was ridiculous. What happened to Aaron answered. What did Sawyer ask Kate to do answered. Althought these two items were fairly predictable it was still exciting to get the confirmation on these two highly debated questions. The greatest thing, to me, because I already thought the Aaron and Sawyer questions were predictable, was Hurley and Miles. Hurley was essentially playing the role of us. The LOST fans. He asked every question that we all had been pondering from the beginning of this season and Miles answered most of them. When it came down to the BIG question Hurley asked about the time travelling paradox we get the always mysterious Richard to sum it up very nicely. He stated that he would help poor little Ben but that Ben would not remember it. Great stuff.
While watching the Hurley/Miles back and forth I literally laughed out loud as visions went passing through my brain. I imagined Hurley being all the LOST fans and Hammer playing the role of Miles getting upset because no one could understand the what happened happened scenerio and then finally being stumped and sorta throwing his hands in the air and stomping away when he had no explanation. Funny stuff, very funny stuff.

Patience, young one. I think we are building up to something that will be revealed. Sawyer did buy into what John had been telling him. Sawyer followed John and believed him when he said he would bring them back. He even got confirmation, (in a way) from his first talk with ’74 Richard, that John either is or will be the leader of the Others. Sawyer feels responsible for the rest of the group that stayed, and is dealing with new situations as best as he can. Plus — he’s gotta think about all of this stuff for a while — read a book and figure out how to make everything right tomorrow.

Comment 201, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Let me also explain the greatest moment for me in this episode. The scene where Richard takes young Ben and the other mentions Ellie and Charles not being too happy about what he is doing. This was the most interesting because I have yet to buy into Ellie being Daniel’s mother. Let me explain. Daniel’s history in the show has dated back to 1996 when Desmond met him as a professor at Oxford. If Ellie is on the island in 1977 and based on the others mention of her I assume that she was actively involved at that time, then Daniel had to have been born before that time. There is NO WAY that he is only 19 years old at Oxford in 1996. If he was born on the island then he would have presumably started having nosebleeds before Charlotte and Miles which if my memory is correct he never got or got them way after both of these characters got theirs. Granted we do not know if the others had a way off the island at this point in time which, I have to believe, to support my theory. If anyone has knowledge of them being able to leave the island in the 1970′s or before then you can feel free to blow my theory out of the water. Maybe I am wrong and I am open to be proven that way but up to this point the only Knowledge we have that Eloise is Daniel’s mother was from the crawl at the bottom of the screen in the enhanced version of the episodes. Also on the podcast Darlton said something about Ellie being 16-17 years of age in the 1954 episode. which would make her about 40 years old in 1977. The math just doesn’t add up to me.

I’m not buying this one. I think if Danielle had been enlightened she would not continue to refer to her group as getting “sick”. This chick kept to herself in a big way, figuritively and literally — for 16 years. She may or may not have remembered Jin, but either way it would have been extremely out of character for her to go, “Oh my god! I know you! My team found you floating in the water, I saw you disappear, then I tried to shoot you!”. Just think of all the stange crap she had seen during her island tour. Seeing Jin in 2004 was just par for the course from her perspective.

Although I do agree that a little patience is warranted, I really did have an issue with Juliette acting like she did. “We didn’t need saving?” Yeah, you did as far as anyone outside that island would know…you were skipping through time and having nose bleeds, dropping like flies, and Locke said in order to save you he’d have to bring back the other folks…that was the last transmission you got as he lowered himself into the belly of the beast. Why would she assume that they would know they were ok?
Comment 207, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
First time commenter.
What I really liked was the idea that Jack wouldn’t help Ben, which makes it appear that Ben is goner. But in reality, Jack’s refusal to help is what necessitates Kate taking him to Richard and setting up his alliance with the Others. What if Jack had stepped in to save Ben? I suppose there would have to have been a course correction to ultimately get Ben to the Others anyway.
Comment 208, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Ok maybe Ben won’t remember after Richard gets done with him. Roger will though as should the other Dharma folk. Roger seemed geniunely concerned about Ben and regretful about his treatment of him. Sometimes it takes a life altering event for someone to change, say like your kid almost dying from a gunshot wound, perhaps. This at first viewing seemed to be a catalyst for Roger to change how he treated young Benjamin but we already know that he continues being an asshole to him. What gives? Also, nobody ever mentions to Ben that when he was say 14 he was shot in the chest by a hostile? Most of this doesn’t make sense. That is just like LOST. GIve me a better understanding of something (time travel) and also at the same time screw with my mind about something else.
One last thing for know and to my surprise nobody has commented about the gunshot wound. In all the screen caps from last weeks episode it appearred that the hole in his chest was on his left side either directly in his heart area or somewhere close but this week it appears that the wound is on the right side of poor little Benjamin’s chest. Someone please correct me because it would be a major disappointment if the would had been moved to help explain his survival.

Why would they be mentioned as not being happy about richard’s actions if they weren’t on the island. Widmore did say he was leader for thirty years and 1977 would have been 23 from the 1954 date. Presumably the leader needs to be on the island to lead. Yes we did see Richard visit Locke in 1956 but I take this as him being somewhat special given the fact that he hasn’t aged in fifty some odd years. We have no evidence of anyone leaving the island except for Richard then. There you happy now?

I have found this LA times blog to be very helpful in my LOST experience. Here’s a small excerpt and the link I hope y’all find it helpful/interesting…
“Luckily, we have a major deus ex machina — and I’m beginning to suspect he’s a real deus, if you know what I mean — in Richard Alpert. So we learned that Richard was able to use his mumbo jumbo to save Ben’s life but simultaneously cause him to forget Sayid and become the scheming weasel we all know and love today. Genius! Thanks, Richard!
Yes, it seems convenient, and a little too much of the dialogue in “What Happened, Happened” felt like it was being explained right at us instead of existing in the make-believe world we’ve grown obsessed with, but no matter. Nestor Carbonell, who plays Alpert, is a damn compelling actor and the lighting, sinister music and his intense stare sold the moment. Who would ever have guessed that Hurley and Kate were the two who helped make Ben who he is now.”

Using a curse word in an appropriate context is generally considered acceptable. However, gratuitous use of curse words only shows a lack of grammatical skill in expressing oneself. It’s sad to see someone who is so unintelligent they must use curse words to communicate in every post. Furthermore, when politely asked to keep it to an appropriate context and to not respond politely is inconsiderate, selfish, and rude. Grow up and learn to play nice.

I think it is interesting that Richard seemed to just appear! Whisperers could be a good theory…it would also seem that Widmore and Ellie are NOT on the island at this time or I think they would be there as well (or maybe no one else possesses the same “abilities” as Richard does…he seems to be the only person who does not age…why is this?)Sawyer is not affraid b/c Richard when they met earlier in 1977 and Sawyer mentioned Jacob Richard knows he has a purpose for being there (imo). Richard is willing to take young Ben BUT explains this will not be without consequences! Someone mentioned it in an earlier post that the scene felt like “selling your soul to the devil.” It felt that way to me too, (but still hope this is not about purgatory)to much of an optimist for that! So i think this is Ben’s rebirth and it also seemed to coincide with the “awakening” of old Ben…

Comment 244, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
The new episode was terrible.
I’ve really had it with things that happen where a character acts so out of synch with how we would really expect them to act.
Example; when Sayid shoots Ben he doesn’t even bother to put another bullet in him or even check to see if he’s dead. He also leaves behind the walkie talkie which he could have used to monitor the people who will be hunting for him. These are NOT the actions of someone with Sayid’s smarts and training.
And why would Sawyer and Kate even care what happens to little Ben? I’m with the Doc on this one…let him croak.
But it was a nice touch to try and make Ben’s father seem a little more human.
I’m really wanting to find out more about the Others and now Alpert has appeared again…and takes Ben to heal him.
It was quite weird for Alpert to say Ben would lose his innocence. What the hell? He’s gonna get well then they take him to a whore house? Odd choice of words.

I think the writers WANT them to be out of sync as time as they know it is out of sync! Everything they know is being tested to the core…tough to know what one is suppose to do.
I think Jack is trying to have faith for once and just believe in the unbelievable. Maybe even faith in himself…even if that is saying No to helping young Ben. Jack is that person that has to have proof and need to be able to solve the equation, and sometimes in life there are not tangible answers…it is just because. Kate still baffles me a little. She has genuine love for Aaron and was quite conflicted about leaving. Maybe it is finally that she loves someone more than herself and needs to try to make things right for Aaron’s sake (maybe that means finding his mom).
And the new internal motherly instincts in Kate could not allow a young boy to die…even if it was Ben!

Comment 253, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I think miss lost is really on to something with comment 239 when she refers to Ben waking up at the end of the episode.
Regarding the TT, if they all are traveling on their own linear path, then Sayid and the other survivors truly do change the world for the 1977ers. Regardless of “whatever happened, happened,” I think that the last scene of this episode might hint at this possibility of the survivors tweaking with previous realities.
For this reason, I think that the Ben who wakes up with Locke at the end of WHH is a newer version of our Ben… a Ben that has the experiences with the survivors in 1977. I don’t ascribe to a theory that they had been there (1977) before now. I think that they are all there for the first time. The reason I think that this could be true is because the writers wouldn’t juxtapose that ending scene with this episode for no reason. Even though the scene was short, I think it might hold the key to that episode and also to the true impact of the survivors on the “1977 now.”
Additionally, I think further evidence of this might be the ongoing discussion between Hurley and Miles. I don’t remember the exact words of Hurley when he finally trumped Miles (and don’t have DVR to replay them). I do think that Hurley sometimes plays the part of the “wise fool” and that his conversation with Miles was much more than comic relief (perhaps this connects to one of Duke’s earlier comments on this convo).
Anyway, those are my thoughts for now. I’ve been reading this blog for 3 seasons. This is my first post, and I am still processing these thoughts myself. I was as clear as I could be for now.

Ok DUKE! Not to bring this up again, but the reason I was wrong is because I was watching the enhanced episode over and over. I am good at remembering and dont usually go to LOSTPEDIA unless I really need to. I always go back and watch. So you are telling me when he said it, and I am sitting here watching it and he doesn’t at all in the enhanced version. I pulled up the other version and he does. Has the enhanced episodes always been like that? Crazy. No wonder why it seems like some of us are watching different shows LOL. So in a way we are both right because we are watching different shows? Like I said crazy. I still agree you are right and all but still, it upsets me. It probably seemed like I was lying to you when I say he didn’t say it even though i was watching it.

Isn’t that what her character is all about? I know there is a love triangle between Sawyer Jack and Kate, but now I wonder if Kate was just using Jack subconsciously to get over Sawyer?!????
Please some insight???? Much thanks!

I agree that you have to be escorted; invited might not be good enough because the initial exposure to the — for lack of a better term — the wonders (flashes?) may be too much. The French challenged the sanctity of the Temple by walking too close. The flashes take away your short term memory (Ben remembers the DHARMA people, including Roger, Annie and, vaguely, Juliet). He was (re-)born on the Island.

If Ellie is Ms. Hawking and is on the Island in ’77 then little Danny is there; Daniel didn’t get nosebleeds but neither does Theresa.

I’m with you and adapa1.
This episode not only sucked, but it wasted precious minutes if the few hours we have left in the series. Did we really have to watch 30 minutes of tape to see what Kate did with Aaron? Are we really to believe that Sayid and Jack are the only ones with enough sense to let Ben die?
It seems to me that once the powers that be went with the TT road, they screwed up big time. I’ve heard many times from Damon and Carlton that this place is not purgatory. But now it seems that the remaining 25 hours or so will not live up to how great the show could have been. At this point, purgatory may have been the way to go.
I respect everyones thoughts/opinions/theories but I must say that this is no way was a GREAT epsiode. OK at best, but then again, maybe getting answers like Sawyer telling Kate to take care of Clementine is the equivalent of what’s the deal with Guyliner or the Smokemonster or Jacob. Maybe it’s all relative and most of our questions will be answered, just not in the fashion we would prefer. I honestly thought about waiting to the remainder of this season and next season was available on Netflix. But then i thought about how I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from lurking on this blog, so I might as well grind it out.
Comment 280, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Isn’t it a bit of a leap to assume that Richard appears out of nowhere, or that he is somehow anticipating that he is needed? Sawyer and Kate were surrounded by perhaps a dozen Others, couldn’t one of them have run ahead and let Richard know what was up?
I state that because although Richard is mysterious, there are things that he doesn’t seem to understand or have yet to be revealed to him, I even have doubts that he is a TT. In fact I’m almost positive he isn’t otherwise it is an extremely sloppy depiction of his character, because if he is able to TT, surely he would have done so to get a handle on all the strangeness that surrounds the Losties. From Locke disappearing in front of his eyes, to Sawyer’s knowledge of the H-bomb and now the delivering of a child shot by Dharma folks (as far as he would be concerned).
Any take on that would be appreciated.

IMO many different time-lines are running parallel. “Old” Ben was hurt a few eps back when John went to see him and we had no idea why…he was relatively OK after the plan crashed. Could it have been because he was shot in 77′? In that same time-line, Kate and Jim LaFleur handed Ben over to Richard. After they enter the temple, the “Old” Ben (different timeline) woke up to John Locke at his side. The different time-lines are happening at the same time and they are jumping from one to the other. Plausible?

My take: Kate WANTED to love Jack because he was the *right* guy – nice job, kind, cares for people, a hero. She was DRAWN to Sawyer – chemisty, biology, whatever.
On the island, especially in the early days, Sawyer wasn’t just rough, he was kind of mean. Kate, who’d been roughed up a bit in her life, liked how nice Jack was. He was the cutest boy at summer camp, so good, they got together.
Sawyer changes a bit and she can’t resist the attraction.
Off island, Jack and Kate have a shared life-experience that few can understand. It is natural for them to be drawn to each other. Was Kate using Jack to get over Sawyer? Probably so, even if not consciously. She must feel a lot of guilt about what he did to save her, them all. Had Sawyer made it off-island, who knows.

I’m wondering, since Ben will apparently not remember anything from his past, aka, the Losties that are currently living in Dharmaville, when he returns to Dharmaville – because he has to return, we saw him there as a workman and he kills his father in the purge – perhaps the Losties leaving and Widmore/Ellie leaving happen for the same reason, at the same time? Perhaps when/if Widmore and Ellie turn the wheel and leave, the Losties are transported to current time, 2007/2008? Maybe that’s how they end up with Sun and Frank and Locke and all that?

Like, I found Cassie’s opinionating on Sawyer’s true motives very annoying. Kate was there with him, when it happened, but she’ll believe Cassie, who clearly has a strong anti-Sawyer bias, when she says, “Well, Sawyer was going to go back to mainland with you, but when he saw the helicopter was going to crash, he must have thought to himself, ‘Do I want to live with this women for the rest of my life? Here’s a perfect opportunity for me to escape that life! I will kill myself and look like a hero in the process!”
Come on.
Even if Sawyer was wanting to leave Kate, he’d go back to the mainland and then leave her, not jump off the helicopter just for the sake of it.
Sawyer had no idea the helicopter was going to leak fuel, he was on it planning to get off the island.
So I think Cassie was just being pissy.

Re: two groups of Others
Hypothesis:
Group I – Ben’s group took over dharmaville, and lives there looking and acting just like the DI did. (But w/o the jumpsuits, and he, why is all the dharma food still coming to them after their not-bloodless coup?)
Group II – Alpert’s group, hanging out in the forest.
Inconsistency – Alpert was the one going to the mainland, recruiting people (Juliette) to Ben’s group.
I think there was just one group, but Alpert does his own thing.

Didn’t he say that Ben wouldn’t remember any of ‘this’…not that he wouldn’t remember ‘anything’?
IMO, Since we know that he doesn’t do the purge until he is an adult, he is sent back to live in DHARMAVILLE. Dad is still a drunk and says horrible things and treats Ben poorly.
I still think that Ben doesn’t think he was literally born on the island. The new Ben was on the island ‘all his (new)life’.

I had a thought about that a few weeks ago, and forgot to mention it – thanks for reminding me.
There was talk about the original O815′ers possibly “flashing” in time when the plane crashed (or as it passed through the snow globe). Possibly EVERYONE who passes through that snow globe travels in time somehow.
Maybe the *island* was on 1980′s or early 90′s time, even though the *people* came from, and to *them* were living in 2001 (Juliet/Desmond) through 2004 (O815ers).
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to explain what I mean. Basically I am suggesting the food drops are happening in the 80′s even though the people on the island are from twenty years later.

Of course Ben remembers his childhood:
1) He knew what day was his birthday (the day of the purge when he killed his father)
2) He knew his father and everything he did to him
3) Juliet “reminds him of her” ie. he remembers her saving his life
4) He knew & told Sayid that Sayid was a killer and liked killing bc he was told it by Sayid himself when he was a kid before he was shot.
5) Ben just didnt tell people he knew them before, he lies people! also inside knowledge helps him, he doesnt ever disclose info to anyone until it is a last resort.
There might be a scene to come when someone tells him he must not mention anything to the future versions of themselves, or Ben is smart enough not to.
Good catch on the blogger who at the beginning of this blog wrote something like “lost of innocence=knowledge”
To those of you who are complaining about the fillers and writing,… dont watch LOST if it bothers you so much and stop wasting our time reading your bitching! LOST is not a show, it is a business, they need to make money and have a set time to end it all. IMO LOST is better than ever

My love is only conditional. And those conditions can change at any time. I mean if you woke up tomorrow and noticed there was no sun…surley you’d be disenchanted and in the dark. Wondering why the sun isn’t working up to par all of a sudden.
I love LOst so much that I just can’t accept to see it tarnish. Now it’s clear that you loved WHH…. but it’s more than evident that that episode was meant clear up the rules of TT for everyone that didn’t learn em from star trek the first time. ;-0
Detective skywalker qouted the la times in an earlier comment:
“Yes, it seems convenient, and a little too much of the dialogue in “What Happened, Happened” felt like it was being explained right at us instead of existing in the make-believe world we’ve grown obsessed with, but no matter. Nestor Carbonell, who plays Alpert, is a damn compelling actor and the lighting, sinister music and his intense stare sold the moment. Who would ever have guessed that Hurley and Kate were the two who helped make Ben who he is now.”

Lost is a business… I understand this.
Yet everyone has a duty that must be done. In the end….after all the checks are signed and every leaves the set…only one thing really matters. ” did we keep/satisy the fans who made this show so famous by obbsessing on it before there even was a hatch..and before DC even knew what to do with it. We are those fans!!! But abc+greed= Lost enhanced episodes!!! The primtime hour before the best show ever, is used SOLEY to get new fans! It’s a blatant and entertaining lure. Now I’m assuming most of us here have no reason to watch this because we’ve seen every episode atleast three times already. Yet it still airs every wed night before the show. that’s a lot of money to waste attempting to explain this show to the newbies, when the oldest fans still can’t seem explain it. It’s was old fashioned neglect to me. like Pop stars who get too famous and alienate the fans who put all that money in you pockets, and supported you when you sucked lol.
You claim LOST a bussines
I say that business is bigger than that.
So strong are we LOST, we’ve been blogging for Five seasons now. WOW! That a lot of unpaid dectective work, speculation, and physics homework.
So yes….random survivors on the island…..was acceptable then but not in the ninth inning.
so yes…..foolish actions by characters….was acceptable then, before they were developed enough for us to care. But here we are the bottom of the fifth season and we have Sawyer AND kate(both with a least one murder) deciding to do the ‘right thing’ which is saving a kid who then grows up to manipulate, and attempt to kill them all. Then, we had this newbie dialogue that told us all the golden TT rule ‘what ever happened happened’
what happened is that we all just happpened to notice a gun shot wound relocated because thats what happens in the twilight zone. You get your intelligence insulted and never notice because there’s soooo much pretty Filler hahaha

We haven’t been told just WHEN the problem with pregnancy started. And I am not sure we can even say that “they created the time loop after the incident” either. I believe this is speculation.
I think it is just as likely that the pregnancy issues coincide with the purge. Perhaps whatever gas Ben used still has an effect on woman. Because Ben orchestrated the purge, he feels compelled to figure out how to fix it.
I believe women having uteri that have aged far more than they have would prevent them from becoming pregnant, not make them die during childbirth.
One thing that Juliet once said is that the women’s immune systems were rejecting the fetuses. That might be more closely related to the island’s HEALING powers than anything else. There are instances IRL of a woman’s body rejecting the fetus because it is viewed as a foreign body (literally) and therefore as an infection. However, the IRL reaction is that the woman miscarries (usually), not that she dies. Still, this is LOST, so the rules are different.

Alpert helping to recruit Juliet clinches the deal for me. One group made up of old and new Others.

Comment 365, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I think someone brought this up in a previous thread, so here is my thought on it.
Maybe the purge wasn’t supposed to happen and we are in the midst of a course correction to stop it? Maybe some of the whisperers are the DHARMA folks that were killed in the purge looking for help:
From Outlaws:
“Maybe we should just talk to him”
“No if he see us it will ruin everything”
“What did he see”
“They could help us”
From Abandoned:
“It’s the brothers that help us”
From the Other 48 Days:
“Shannon”
“Your life and time is up”
“Help me”
“Fire Lucia”
“The brothers that help us”
From The Other Woman:
“If she won’t save us then who is?”
Comment 366, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Just a few thoughts
Is it possible that is only one set of Others? They simply occupy the bodies, or image of the bodies, of those that they come across. it seems that Charles Widnmore, in 1954, was wearing the uniform of a U.S. Army soldier named “Jones”. We have seen Others in rag tag clothing like clothing that would have been worn aboard a 19th century slave /mining ship. Could this also be a good reason why RA wanted Paul’s dead body to bring back to “His People”, and possible why Ben left Alex’s Body out in the open, and did not attempt to take it along for burial. Could Ben have thaught that smokey might take her body back to the temple? the whole possession theory might also providean explanation for Dannielle saying that her crew was infected and killed them all including Robert. If Dannielle could somehow detect the presence of “Otherness” in her crew, perhaps the reason that she never sees them is that they are avoiding her out of fear.
I also wondered why Juliet would allow Kate to take Ben without the oxygen tank. If he went into convulsions once from a lack of oxygen, is it reasonable to assume it could happen again?
And I still can’t figure out how Ben’s wound moved from a fatal location to potentially fatal one.
Comments… Help…

I agree that the problem is either the purge or maybe the incident. does it have something to do also with the destruction of the statue? It was destroyed and maybe that destroyed the woman’s protection. Although the interesting thing is that the women do not have trouble getting pregnant…they have old uteruses which you would think would make it impossible to carry a baby…maybe the old uteruses have something to do with TT? Could it effect the body in a bad way? But why is it that it is not the baby that dies…usually when the body rejects the fetus it happens at an earlier stage and miscarriage occurs (usually 1st trimester)but here the mom dies…and why bring Juliette who is a fertility doc? Wouldn’t she have more to do with getting pregnant? I liked earlier threads saying Juliette (fertility doc = statue (fertility god?) maybe somewhere along the line she does solve this problem…

It sure looks like that might be the case with the whispers you posted but that depends on the WHH theory. I tend to lean toward it NOT being every single incident.

Maybe being shot and taken to Alpert just sped his path up 15 years, or not?

Response to comment #285- Richard also gave Locke the compass when he fixed his gunshot wound> Richard told him that he needed the compass because the next they saw each other Richard would not recognize him. This obviously meant that Richard knew Locke would travel back in time to a year that Richard would not recognize who he was. He gave it to him so Locke could prove that he knew Richard.
Response to comment 311- You missed the whole point of my argument. Daniel used the early nosebleeders as sign that they had spent time on the island before the events that we were watching. My guess by the others comment about Ellie and Widmore not being pleased with Richard for helping Ben meant to me that they were currently on the island when Ben got shot. Therefore, the premise that Ellie is Faraday’s mother would lead me to believe that he too was on the island at that time. So for those that want to see Faraday as the all knowing time travelling wizard they would have to believe that Faraday would have also gotten nosebleeds because he had been on the island before. I AM NOT convinced that Ellie is Faraday’s mother. The only proof we have is the enhanced version of the episodes which Darlton have stated are not entirely accurate. I just wish we knew Faraday’s birthdate so the math could be little more accurate. Also wish we knew if the Hostiles, the original ones with Ellie and Widmore, had ways of getting off the island. At this point in time the only Hostile seen off island pre-Dharma was Richard visiting Locke at his birth and as a boy but he is obviously special in some way so his off island adventures can be explained.

If you believe that there is such a thing as “course correction” then you don’t believe in WHH. Correct?
Because in the “whatever happened happened” theory, Sayid ALWAYS shot Ben and Jack ALWAYS refused to operate. The purge ALWAYS happened. Can’t be corrected.

Duke, I agree with you…i might not have been clear in post #285, but I also thought Richard giving the compass was proof that he knows about TT. It doesn’t mean he himself can TT, but he KNEW they would meet again. It is also interesting that he KNEW he would not know who Locke was. How did he know he would TT to the past? Has he been meeting people throughout time? Does Richard know that when people travel to the past it is not their past (ie not Locke’s past) but the islands past?

That may be, that the end result of the Losties TT to 1970′s is that they prevent the purge. Perhaps that is why D&C have been so adamant about “you can’t change things”, somewhat to mislead us, but also because that is what Lost was always intended to be about, getting Dharma back in business on the island?
A couple aspects of it that I’m not sure about – one is that Widmore told Locke he had to go back to the island to make sure the right side wins the upcoming war. But Locke seems to be on the island in the 2000′s, which is after the purge. Will Locke somehow go back to the 1970′s? Or is Widmore talking about something else?
The other aspect is that there’s a lot of time between the most recent episode (1977) and the purge (1992), so how would they deal with that on the show. More time travelling? Or just skip ahead 15 years in the storytelling?

Maybe this is not directly related to what’s been discussed, but we know that Alpert in 2004 knows about time travel, because of the scene with Locke that you referred to. However, we don’t know exactly when he learned about this. From Jughead, it seemed he didn’t know about TT in 1954, unless he was faking it when Locke appeared. Even in 1974, when Sawyer had that conversation with Alpert about turning over Paul’s body, Alpert didn’t seem to know about TT. So maybe the ability to TT wasn’t developed until later in the 70′s or 80′s, perhaps as a result of what Dharma was doing.

As much as I have never wanted to believe in it, I’m giving thought to Richard as an alien.
I’ll get back to that though…
Now Ben cant remember what happens to him before the reincarnation. To me that obviously ties in to him beig able to have dreams, and flash memories of his past, and also to him seeing this past while he has been passed out. He is at his judgement day, parralel to the time of his reincarnation. Would explain him being obsessed with Juliet. Face he saw once in a dream. Like that he is tied briefly to Kate and Sawyer. Maybe thats why he wanted them together in the cages. (cuz he’s a Kate and Sawyer fan.)
Maybe this is when the losties flash to their proper place, once Alpert carries him into the temple… the flash starts coming. It’d be interesting if some flash into different places.
-I give it up to the Widmore/Hawking joint leadership theory. Would explain their sibling vibe… and ALSO the Locke/Ben sibling vibe. Maybe this is what it takes to finally bring these two together. Black and white stones.
I would dig seeing young ben get back together with dad. New relationship now. Dad has already realized what a dick he is. Plus now he may even be a little bit scared of the “new” Ben.
Now Richard. Still dont know where exactly to stand on him. He’s completely unique though. Maybe he cant time travel and so does not completely buy into the idea of it. He has a different perspective but could still be slightly mislead. The way he sees things is somewhat different but he is always truthful. He knows his purpose and he is a leader, but he needs human people to help him carry out his cause (in “whatever??” form, havent got that far yet)

Could it be that maybe Richard doesn’t know THAT much about time travel but knows that Locke does it all the time and knew he needed that compass because he is used to Locke flashing in and out of time whenever the sky lights up?

This is one of things where some people want an absolute declaration of fact; the wan Ms. Hawking to hold her hand up and say, “I am Daniel’s mother.” Don’t hold your breath.
Daniel was in his late-twenties/early-thirties at Oxford in 1996. So call his birth year late-sixties/early-seventies.
If Ellie is Ms. Hawking and is on the Island in ‘77 then little Danny is there; Daniel didn’t get nosebleeds but neither does Theresa.

I think Daniel does not get nosebleeds because he has a constant in Desmond. All the others who DO get nosebleeds due to extended exposure to the island do not appear to have constants.
This could then imply that little Faraday is there on the island in 1977 with Ellie, but then so is older physicist Faraday. So is he the one “lost” in a paradox?

Actually I think whatever happened happened is different than…whatever happened ALWAYS happened. In other words incidental things changed but the important things didn’t. I think this is the first time the losties are in the 70′s as their 2000′s selves. I don’t think its a time loop because I don’t think they keep coming back to the 70′s after going home, living their live till they get on 815, go thru hell, skip thru time, end up in the 70′s, go back home, get on 815,…….
IMO, course correcting is fixing an event that was supposed to happen but didn’t. Desmond wasn’t course correcting for Charlie, fate kept coming at Charlie until he died because he was supposed to and Desmond was stopping fate NOT course correcting.
Therefore, my theory is that IF they stop the purge…it is a course correction because the purge wasn’t supposed to happen.

The constant argument has played out on this blog forever. The only explination about someone needing a constant was form Faraday. It pertained to the concious mind travelling through time not the actual body/person. People have been confusing the time travelling that Desmond did when on the helicopter (also Faraday’s rat time travel maze adventure) and the time travelling that the island and the people on it were doing. To me they are two different types of time travelling. Which doesn’t explain Daniel’s lack of time travelling nosebleeds.

Hammer please read comment 408 and explain to me why you would relate the two different time travels? One was actual people travelling through time and the other, Desmond, the rat, Theresa, the many freighter folks who’s only form of time travel was there concious minds which is where the need for constants was brought up. Daniel clearly stated in an episode this year that he believed that the nosebleeds were a result of previous time spent on the island. He mentioned nothing during this time about the need for constants to help stop the dangers associated with temporal displacement. Why would he not mention it or say something about him not having nosebleeds because of his past experience with Desmond. The constantthing has been blow out of porpotion. It was only mentioned during Desmonds MIND travelling to 1996 to meet with Daniel and no other time. People just want to associate it with the other form of time travel to just simply explain things away but it seems way more important than that. Once again, Daniel would/should have explained the need for constants if he thought it would help stop what was happening.

Duke wrote:
Personally, I think that *if* the two kinds of nosebleeds were NOT related, the writers would have used some OTHER way to show temporal displacement in ONE of the instances. For example, Desmond and Minkowski could have lost hair or turned green through consciousness travel temporal displacement.
Because the writers show that TD in consciousness travel AND with time travel BOTH incur nosebleeds, I think it is important. The fact that Daniel didn’t get nosebleeds might be because he was never on the island before (he said himself that it might have to do with how long you’ve been on the island – which in LIKELIHOOD was meant to throw us off), or it might be because he was the only person who HAD been on the island to have contact with his (pre-determined) constant.

A little more on Charle’s statement and sorry if this was brought up during that episodes thread, but JMO reading about it here…..
Do you think that “they protected the island for 30 years,” would have ended when Dharma people decided to move in? So they only protected it for 30 years before Dharma.
Also let’s say he was a leader for 30 years, he could have been a born leader. Depending how they look at their so called leaders, I don’t think it has to be like the military. Princes are born to be kings and can become a king from a very young age. Probably born in 1942, he would leave the island in around 72.
Then again, for all we know, Charles was NEVER the leader, but was SUPPOSED to be and he just keeps saying that cause he sees himself as the leader and Ben took over and he is mad.
Point is it’s all specualation and we don’t really know for sure what Charles meant by his statement. Him saying they protected the island for 30 years could be that the “Others” protected it and he was part of that for a little bit of time. If what he is saying is true, then who protected it before them?
Who is Hanso and when are we gonna meet him?

My take on Richard’s knowledge about Locke TT and thus needing to give him the compass, is that a conversation takes place (which we have yet to see, or may never see the actual conversation and it will be left for us to assume and debate) between Locke and him sometime post 2007. Something like:
Locke: So the amazing thing was that right before Ethan was going to finish me off, I flashed and was laid in the clearing and in those few minutes laid there, YOU showed up, bandaged me up, and told me to give you that compass.
Richard: I showed up? How did I know you were there?
Locke: That’s not important, the important thing is you MUST give me this compass so that I can give it to you, when I flash back to 1954, to prove that I already know who you are, and that I’m sent from Jacob.
(And thus a chicken and egg paradox is again created).

I am posting this over from the “He’s Our You” thread written by Flyboy…
“Anyways, the losties that we currently see on the island can be killed and that does not change the timeline. The reason is that the losties we see on the island are their 30 to 40 year old versions of themselves. Somewhere on the mainland there are little version of them that have yet to grow up and fulfill their destiny of getting to the island (if these versions were killed then that changes the future). The losties on the island can die because from their perspective (their individual observer perspective) they have already lived through all the future, post 1977 to 2007, so that for them is their past and it has already happened. I know that is very confusing but I am 100% convinced that it is correct as to this show’s interpretation of time travel with no paradox. Great show and I am very excited to see how some other events turn out. I will also put my name in the hat for the Ben is not dead yet group. Ben has to survive this because from Ben’s perspective (individual observer’s perspective) he has not yet lived out the events between 1977 and 2007 so he must still fulfill his destiny. I also think it is extremely ironic that Sayid thinks he is saving the future by killing Ben, but he is actually most likely creating the impetus for Ben to become an other… awesome!”

Course correction happens in the future only. If something was supposed to happen and didn’t then it will course correct “in the future” which for the show is after 316 crashes in 2008.
The purge happened. There cannot be a course correction to stop the purge. If the Dharma people who died in the purge were supposed to solve or discover something then those who crashed on flt. 316 could have been sent to solve or discover that something. Actually those on 815 could have been sent to do it but as of 2008 they have not succeded.

Here is what is said, doesn’t say it HAS to be a person.
DESMOND: Wh…what do you mean, anchor?
DAN: Something familiar in both times. All this, see this is variables, it’s random, it’s chaotic. Every equation needs stability, something known. It’s called a constant. Desmond, you have no constant. When you go to the future, nothing there is familiar. So if you want to stop this, then you need to find something there…something that you really, really care about….that also exists back here, in 1996.
DESMOND: This constant…can it be a person?
DAN: Yeah, maybe. But you have to make some kind of contact. Didn’t you say you were off on a boat, in the middle of nowhere?

I don’t have a definitive opinion about TT v CT and either’s need for a constant.

Juliet and Sawyer might have been able to connect with the hatch or the camp, but none of the others could do that on the island.

I see what you’re saying, and I think we are basically in agreement.

Anyway, perhaps this is a bit far fetched but what if there is a finite number of Others. A group of consiencenesses. They assimilate into new bodies, such as Christian, Locke and Ben, to re-annimate them.
This would explain why Mikhale keep on not dying untill he blew his body to bits rendering it usless. Christian and Locke came to the island as good, fresh, usefull bodies so they each got a Other inplant, so to speak.
This could also explain how Juliette can speak Latin, shoot a gun and is so good at hand to hand combat. All unusual for a fertility Doctor. Each other keeps it’s current skills and gains the skills and personality of the current body they are living in.
This would also explain why Richard says “He will always be one of us.”
Again, it’s farfetched but could be fun to discuss and debate. More fun than bickering for sure.

Comment 475, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Steve I Love comment 366 (and circus moms 463)and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since the start of this season. I think that issue has everything to do with the conscious TT PJ and Duke have been on.
I think the nosebleeds on both methods of TT are do the proximity one has from the other version of himself AND the duration of consciousness in that version. Too long or too close leads to nosebleeds followed by death. Can’t have two versions of yourself in the 70′s right? Charlotte’s last words was a simple merging of consciousness with her younger self.
If your future self dies in the past your consciousness is sent to that past version. Meaning charlotte’s mind went back to the kid version in the 70′s just as Desmonds would have been merged with his younger self had not Farraday saved him. Of course, if you do die and younger consciousness reboots itself into your younger version, you remember nothing.
SO…I think Steve nailed it in #366, and that the others have the ability to unstick ones mind from time and send it to a past/future version of yourself …. OR *drum roll* another persons body or “Remember when we used to celebrate birthdays?”
Maybe Richard sends the omen kids consciousness to the to the future version of Ben on the smaller island.
I still say Jacobs consciousness was sent through time into John

Also what’s up with the severed arm thing. That french guy Montand, Pierre Chang, and Roger Linus (Vincent brings the arm with van keys in hand). Come to think of it, why didn’t anyone pick-up Montand’s arm outside the temple?

This thought is remotely related to the possession theory. I found it interesting that Bens tumor is located in roughly the same place as the mark the Others put on Juliet. Could they have un-possessed juliet, and the base of the spine is the entry point? I know this is far fetched, but I have not had any beer today (Yet) and I am little off center.

It could be explained as being the same reason why John Locke looks the same to Whidmore in 2007 as he did in 1954. The only difference is that RA must know where and when to be. Perhaps he is summoned in some way. Or… maybe he is not actually human.

Danielle didn’t seem to remember Jin. Possible that she ended up in the Temple mind eraser? It still bugs me that she was able to live on the island so long without having trouble with the Others. She always seemed to know when to avoid trouble (enlightened?) until the rule breakers (Team Keamy) killed her and Alex.
Of course Danelle does not remember Jin Because she meets Jin in 2004 Jin was time traveling when he met Danelle and her crew in the 1980′s when they first landed on the island

So I just want to touch on something that tasha said about why the others even wanted the purge to happen. I mean as of now it does seem like Richard is a good guy right? I mean he didnt go killing the time traveler in the 50′s, he worked out the paul situation with sawyer. He took in little shot ben. He seems like a reasonable guy. Even if he’s not the leader he has some leadership position. Why did they just decided to kill all of those people? maybe something to do with the incident? Maybe something that would exploit the island? maybe then needed some bodies to posess? any ideas guys

I don’t really know why I feel that way. It’s like a gut feeling that nobody talks about and I don’t know how to explain. Something fishy is going on though.(That’s obvious and been known since what? The first episode? LOL.) Ethan is part of Dharma but he was a hostile. Horace was building Jacob a cabin….how does he know who Jacob is and why was he building the cabin?(I know what he says so nobody has to pull up a transcript.) Just saying that if it wasn’t for his wife and him, he must be a hostile, unless Jacob has something to do with Dharma. Of course, Horace and Ethan can be explained if it’s the whole “taking over bodies thing.” Whoa! It’s just too late for me to be thinking about this right now. I really need to get a life.

Its very late, and I finally had the beer that I wanted so badly earlier,a fat tire from New Belgium Brewery. (and several mixed drinks as well)I do not believe Ben trapped Jacob in the cabin. the cabin seems to manifest in different places as seen when Locke finds the ring of ash, but no cabin. Even Hurley said that the cabin was in a different direction then where Locke was going. I do not believe that Jacob is trapped in the cabin, because if he were trapped, why would Christian be in the cabin to speak for him. I think that it is entirely possible that Jacob takes the cabin, that is assuming that Horace, or the vision of Horace actually finishes building it.
Remember, the time loop theory referenced by Adapa1. there may be a disconnect because if time truly looped, the relevant timeliness for each character would reset to what they were at the beginning of the loop. perhaps the time line was skewed in the past say eight months for example. the pushing of the button allowed the relevant time line to continue, eight months in the past, rather then catch up with “San Dimas time”. (Reference to Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure) In this way, the character’s personal time lines would seem linear from their personal points of view. This is why Ben and the Others living in Dharmaville don’t percieve a repeat of time, but are living a continuous linear lifestyle.

It seems like the way 2 show your affection for someone on the island who it is inappropriate 2 have affection for is to bring them a sandwich.
Juliette brings 1 2 Jack in S3-E5, when he’s locked in the cell. They were interupted by Ben, who wanted 2 tell Jack about his tumor.
Goodwin (on S4-E6) brings 1 2 Juliette while her and Ben are looking in the microscope @ baby stuff.
Of course, Little Ben brings 1 2 Siyeed when he’s locked up in Dahrmaville.

It’s just a gut feel I have about Jack’s grandfather. When we saw him at the old folks’ home, I’m pretty sure there was a mention of him (the grandfather) trying to leave or wanting to leave. I have the feeling he is trying to get back to the Island, but his mind is stuck, maybe it’s a consciousness-trapped sort of a thing, which has previously been discussed. If he is Jacob, think about it…you’d have Jacob, Jacob’s son (Christian Shephard), Jack (Christian’s son), and perhaps now Jack’s son (Kate is pregnant) on the Island. This would go with Comment 513 about Boone’s statement of bringing the family back together.

I am forgetting comments ahain but after dreaming about LOST I want to add this to your theory. I am not sure if this has been brought up.
Let me get this correct. From what we know so far, Ben killed off Dharma with the Purge. Many have said he let some Dharma live, BUT WHY? Ethan for example is Horace’s father. Ethan would not have been a baby when the Purge hit. So from what we know SO FAR, we don’t know if Ethan was shipped off as a child, i am going to assume he is still living in Dharmaville with his father. Why would he agree to live his life as a hostile after Ben kills his FATHER? Unless Horace was a mean old dad just like Roger. I doubt it though. Just because we know Charlotte left as a child doesn’t mean all women and children did like many of us are thinking.
Again, I just woke up and just thinking about it. I just think ETHAN is either NOT the same as baby Ethan OR he must not be himself because why would you let someone kill your dad?(Unless his dad pushed him off the radio tower trying to kill him.} So I am thinking he was killed and they used his body:)
JMO. I am probably way off but again…so many possibilities LOL.

I was thinking about something this morning. Remember when Eloise told Jack,Desmond,Ben, and Sun that the island moves. I believe she said something like “Why do you think you were never rescued?” And remember when the chopper was trying to go back to the island and it disappeared right before their eyes? How the heck is it moving, and did it physically move, does it move through time? Did she say that the island is located over an area of electromagnetic energy and that there are other places like it in the world?

OK, another question to fit into the theory. What determines who jumps in time. The others don’t and those on 316 that wern’t on 815 don’t and Sun and Frank don’t. Ben dosn’t.
I’ll buy those on 316 don’t because they wern’t in the origional group that was supposed to jump. Perhaps Sun dosn’t because she was supposed to run away at 11:15 in the airport before flight 815. Ben is a other so that explains him. Perhaps Frank was always supposed to be booted from flight 815 and is not really part of that group.
Locke died so he is stuck in time. Perhaps Charlotte jumped to the same time as Locke when she died. Basically, back to where they would (should?) have been.
So why did Charlotte, Miles and Daniel jump?

If you die and are buried, you’re dead forever (I hope; I don’t want to see Nikki and Paulo again and Shannon was a real pain in the…neck.) In 1954, the Others buried the dead soldiers.
If you die and are left on the ground the Island absorbs you if it wants you (Goodwin was not wanted) and you are reborn (at the Temple?). Karl and Rousseau — and maybe Alex — were “on their way.” Ben taking time to mourn his daughter was an act.
What does this tell us about the “Viking” funeral of Colleen Picket?
+++++++++
The above was posted on another blog. ( I’ll let the poster identify themself if they want.)
My answer to this was that Sun shot Colleen while they were out on a boat, then she was burried at sea.
Keamy’s men took the time to bury Danielle, and Carl. I think they knew to do this because Widmore told them to. Ben also took time to bury Alex. Maiby he didn’t want her to become a true other?
Charlie and Mikhale died off the island (sorry PJ) in the looking glass so they are in the same boat, so to speak, as colleen.
OK, tought process here is incomplete. Have at it.

I don’t even think I have what it takes to wrap my brain around that right now…
I thought the best part about this episode was when Hurley pwnd Miles by bringing up the fact that Ben couldn’t remember Sayid…I felt that entire scene was the creators talking exactly to this blog and others like us telling us that “Whatever happened, happened” isn’t “whatever happened happened”, then they use and abuse us again by having Richard Alpert say that Ben would forget his old life, so “Whatever happened” indeed happened?..Jesus, I was so glad when Miles broke it down to everyone earlier in the show, I thought my feelings had been vindicated, and we could finally put the silly photoshop, alternate timeline theories to bed, but D&C do just enuff to make it hard for you to sleep at night..Brilliant S.O.B.’s Not a huge fan of Kate-centric eps so there were parts of this ep that seemed rather much for me, but the subplots in this episode were brilliant…I loved all the actual time travel conversations, they had me on the edge of my seat…I also loved the scene where Jack set Kate straight on when he had to save Ben the first time…Looks like Kate x Jack is finished for good now…As for Ben, good God, is he like Danielle’s crew, is he an extension of the smoke monster himself, is he THE ISLAND????

I commented back on the 316 post that I thought he meant that he was trying to get back to the island. But you bring up an interesting point about getting the family back together. Do you mean the Sheppard family?

Eww…but interesting.
I took it that they MIGHT be trying to show us that Roger’s attitude towards Ben changed when he thought Ben might die. That Ben will have to lose his innocence ‘now’(now that Sayid shot him and he can’t die because he isn’t supposed to die) as opposed to as an adult(when I assumed he became an official Other).
More course correction.

Nooo!!! I missed the episode and can’t get the ep to play online for me to catch up! Somebody, please post a super quick synopse of what happened! I’ve never missed an episode! Whatever happened happened???? PLEASE! I can’t stand it! I’m about to get a new computer, but in a couple of weeks. I can catch up then. In the meantime, I will try not to miss another Wednesday night. Sorry, would love to sit and read all the posts but can’t. Sigh….. I glanced and take it Ben does not die. Of course.

Who has never done anything right? (re: destiny/fate/karma).
Talking about the main characters. Most have, but I think there are only two left, before this episode. That would be Kate and Jack. I think Jack finally had his “My name is Earl” moment when he refused to treat young Ben. Kate is the only one that has not “won the karma lottery and then struck by a car a minute later.” She is definitely on the path to ‘making good’, but giving-up kid-Ben was the dumbest thing, compared to her smartest moment, giving-up kid-Aaron.

You are likely correct Jim. I just wonder why the writers didn’t just have him swing by mom’s house to pick up dad’s shoes…why go through all the mumbo jumbo with grandpa just to get a pair of shoes that shouldn’t have been at the old folks home in the first place.

If Jack had gone to the house, he might have grabbed something else, not shoes. He was told to bring something that had belonged to Christian. The fact that G-pa had the SHOES was significant because Jack had given his dad old beat up white shoes for the coffin – it was important that he make amends with SHOES. They most likely played it this way to make sure he took the SHOES.

I just find it curious that Ray specifically says “one of these times I’m actually gonna get away…THEY WON’T EVER FIND ME EITHER.” Why throw that line in there if his role on the show is simply to give Jack the shoes? I suppose it’s possible that they are trying to throw the smart audience off that might pick up on that, like a smokescreen, if he really doesn’t have an important role besides giving Jack the shoes.

OK. Lots of things. (Lots is an anagram of LOST. OMG!)
1) What’s all this crap about needing constants to stop nosebleeds? How come in all this time no one suggested manual pressure to the bridge of the nose, pinching the nostrils together, leaning forward, maybe some ice?? Basic first aid anyone?
2) Vampires — Perfect! Except that it would be just too stupid, and we’d all feel like we wasted 6 years on this show if it turns out to be vampires. That and the sunlight thing. But it does explain the no birthdays thing, not aging, looking pale and creepy, “one of us”.
3) I have never really trusted Juliet. She is always one of them. I think we will eventually see Juliet betray them all, and she will just shrug, and give that crooked smile and say, “You knew I was an Other.”
4) There does seem to be a suicide/homicide thing about the Others if they are getting compromised.
5) The true purpose of the Others — great point. First Dharma is doing all this science stuff, and living nice hippy lives. Dharma had a purpose – a mission statement that they would put on the dharmawantsyou.com website, if the internet had been invented — and what they were doing was more or less consistent with it.
But what were the Others about? After they took over Dharmaville, they started acting like Dharma, doing science (Mittlos Bioscience) and having book clubs — but that’s not what being an Other was about, was it?
6) None of the Time Travelers have yet tried to like bet on the outcome of sports games?? (Maybe that explains the whole Pete Rose thing, he was influenced by time travelers.)
7) there was more, but I didn’t take notes.

Oh, crumbs! I took soooo many notes, on the back of an envelope, on all the posts I wanted to comment on, and natch, I can NOT find it. Days, it took me days to catch up, and then…
Hopefully the thing will time-loop back to me.
ANYWAY, love, love, love the zombie possession theory! That is just so cool. Richard as the High Priest of Baron Jacob–or some such thing, where the Cylons have gone, Resurrection in the Temple of Doom. The same Others, cycling through time after time, kidnapping kids to possess–freakish and Bizzah!
….sips coffee, already had too much caffeine…
What I thought when I watched this ep–and I, too, thought it was very touching when Kate said good-bye to Aaron, and yet wanted to smack her for leaving the kid alone in a hotel room—was it was probably the first time a question had been raised and answered in a single episode. Hurley to Miles:
HURLEY: But when we first captured Ben, Sayid like tortured him then why wouldn’t he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid?
MILES: Huh. I hadn’t thought of that.
Then the answer:
RICHARD: If I take him, he’s not ever gonna be the same again.
KATE: What do you mean by that?
RICHARD: What I mean is that he’ll forget this ever happened and that his innocence will be gone. He will always be one of us.
——–
So, I agree with those who were slightly disappointed that this happened this way. To me, this was kinda clumsy and un-Lost-like. First, explaining the TT–which was kinda funny/and a shout out to We Who Debate this stuff, and a very Science-esque kind of explanation for events–which was great, really. Then we go to the Mystical Temple Explanation for Ben’s Giant Continuity Error–why he doesn’t remember how he got shot.
OK, whatever. (And I, too was creeped out by the ‘his innocence will be gone’ bit.)
But this does mean Richard knows Sawyer and Kate, and he ain’t going to forget them.
Are we going to see what happens to Ben in the Temple? What his initiation rites are going to be? The sacrifice he must make to belong? I guess this might trump the killing your dad rite–
And Ben didn’t kill everyone in Dharmaville, just his Dad. The other Others completed the Purge. Maybe a technicality, because we don’t know if it was his idea or not (he says not, but Ben is a, what’s that, a liar?), or if it was ordered by Someone Else, or if it was his plan on the how…
Ben, Ben, Ben–so, Sayid shot him, Jack refused to treat him, and Kate & Sawyer handed him over to the Others, under Juliet’s nudging. Hmm. A mighty ironic turn of events. WHH, indeed. So they all had a hand in creating the Ben who torments them in the future/past. Which is what must have always happened, so were they not then MEANT to leave the island, and come back, and be vaulted back to ’77, and do what they did?
And how else WOULD they have traveled back in time without the FDW spin? If they were in fact meant to be in the past to create the Ben?
And does this ‘forgetting’ that Ben will undergo mean that our peops will be gone from 77 by the time Ben recovers–if he’s going to recover amongst the Dharma? Because lil Ben would certainly remember them if they stayed around for the next fifteen years, wouldn’t he?
Best, Liz

re: the 108 minute time loop thing–
Some postulated that the 108 minutes/push the button were a means of keeping the island ‘stuck’ in a loop that prevented forward progress to the end of the world–that we maybe think the whole show might be about. Not that the same 108 minutes were happening over and over. And somehow, whatever caused the 108 m/push sequence had also lead to infertility in the island women.

You know I just watched ‘the man behind the curtain’ again… I take that back I went to the synopsis on lostpedia. WHY does ben look the same age he does in the prent when he’s in the van with his dad and opens the canister. Somethings wierd here. How old is he in 77? lets say at the oldest 16…so in 87 he’s 26.

Hi, adapa1, I just TRIED to, but there were too many iterations, and I did not get it. My brain started to fry, sorry, LOL!
It’s interesting to think of the Island as a giant time traveling machine–but I don’t wholly buy into that. But it’s cool to think about.
This episode was like, mystical science fiction for me. And who was saying about how certain characters had big character changing arcs? Sorry, my notes are still MIA–so Sayid & Jack, and Locke, too, have had these altering experiences where they’ve lost the things they held on to so dearly as people, and let go of who they were to BECOME…whatever it is they will ultimately be. But Kate’s arc isn’t like that, exactly–
Well, maybe not as dramatically, but she had to/has to let go of the idea of Aaron as her emotional crutch and ‘do the right thing’ (find Claire)–as Roger said in this ep, a boy needs his mom. So Kate grew as a mom-figure, now she has to prove that she’s grown as a person, and is able to truly give love to her man.
Who would be…? Hmm. I guess not Jack. He’s pretty clear on that, at least. Just when you thought the couples were in their proper alignments…

Comment 588, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
So I went to lostpedia to research the black rock…and came across several points that actually gives my theory a bit more substance:
John Locke (August 29, 1632 – October 28, 1704) was an English philosopher. Locke is considered the first of the British Empiricists, but is equally important to social contract theory. John Locke, the philosopher, met prominent English politician, Anthony Cooper, in 1666 at Oxford. Locke persuaded Cooper to undergo an operation for his liver infection that saved his life. In LOST, Anthony Cooper comes to Locke with a kidney problem and Locke donates his own kidney to save his life.
More about the philosopher: His ideas had enormous influence on the development of epistemology and political philosophy, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers and contributors to liberal theory. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries. This influence is reflected in the American Declaration of Independence. Locke’s theory of mind is often cited as the origin for modern conceptions of identity and “the self”, figuring prominently in the later works of philosophers such as David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant. Locke was the first philosopher to define the self through a continuity of “consciousness.” He also postulated that the mind was a “blank slate” or “tabula rasa”; that is, contrary to Cartesian or Christian philosophy, Locke maintained that people are born without innate ideas. [1]
“Tabula Rasa,” the title of a first season episode, is the name John Locke gave to the philosophical position that human beings are born without innate knowledge. It translates to
Jeremy Bentham
Jeremy Bentham (15 February 1748–6 June 1832) was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He was a political radical, and a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law. He was a child prodigy and was found as a toddler sitting at his father’s desk reading a multi-volume history of England and began his study of Latin at the age of three.
He was best known for his advocacy of utilitarianism, a form of consequentialism, meaning that the moral worth of an action is determined by its outcome – the ends justify the means. Utilitarianism argued that the “right” action or policy was that which would cause “the greatest happiness of the greatest number”. His critics objected saying that it would therefore “…be acceptable to torture one person if this would produce an amount of happiness in other people outweighing the unhappiness of the tortured individual.”
Bentham also designed a famous prison structure called the “Panopticon”, which creates a sense of constant surveillance and paranoia amongst prisoners.
Bentham was also known for his outspoken opposition to the French revolutionary discourse of natural rights, an idea championed by philosopher John Locke (whose father, also named John Locke, worked for Jeremy Bentham). He also suggested a procedure for estimating the moral status of any action. His principle regards “good” as that which produces the greatest amount of physical or spiritual pleasure, and the minimum amount of pain; and “evil” as that which produces the most pain without the pleasure.
Bentham also argued that the ability to suffer, not the ability to reason, must be the benchmark of how we treat other beings. He stated that if the ability to reason were the criterion, many human beings, including babies and disabled people, would have to be treated as though they were things, rather than beings.
Magnus Hanso was the great grandfather of Alvar Hanso (as revealed by Javier Grillo-Marxuach [1]). A 19th-century sea captain and shipping merchant, he possibly commanded the Black Rock. The blast door map suggests he was buried on the Island near the site of the ship wreckage. The blast door map contains the notation “known final resting place of Magnus Hanso/Black Rock,” suggesting Magnus Hanso indeed owned the Black Rock ship, and that he was likely on board when the vessel crashed on the Island.
Comment 589, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
Found this theory on lostpedia too…… Ilove it!!
The Black Rock was at sea, location to be determined, when the Island rose out of the sea below it in the arrival phase of a move. It is unknown what the effect of the impact was on the ship. It does not appear to have been crushed as if something hit it hard from below; it does look more as if the ship was moving forward at a respectable rate of speed and the stationary Island rose under it, bringing the ship to a sudden stop and ripping out its keel.
Comment 590, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I had a random thought last night based on Richard Alpert….. I was thinking its quite possible that our losties are not the only characters who are not where they are supposed to be on their own timelines. Our losties have assimilated in the 70′s undetected so far, whos to say that others couldn’t have done the same at some point. I thought that because Jack’s watch is no longer ticking, that he is “stuck” and won’t age further until he gets back to 2007, so isn’t it possible that Richard could actually be from the future but stuck in the past and thats why he doesn’t age?? I was also thinking that Richard may have a role such as Abbodon, that he helps people do what they are supposed to do, while acting on the behalf of Jacob. And maybe when and if he succeeds he gets to go back to his own time, or atleast jacobs strange exsistance would come to some sort or conclusion. Please forgive me if this makes no sense….like I said “random thought”.

Comment 594, posted 1 year, 5 months ago -
I was the original poster of the following:
If you die and are buried, you’re dead forever (I hope; I don’t want to see Nikki and Paulo again and Shannon was a real pain in the…neck.) In 1954, the Others buried the dead soldiers.
If you die and are left on the ground the Island absorbs you if it wants you (Goodwin was not wanted) and you are reborn (at the Temple?). Karl and Rousseau — and maybe Alex — were “on their way.” Ben taking time to mourn his daughter was an act.
What does this tell us about the “Viking” funeral of Colleen Picket?
It grew out of theory I had put on the LP about who buried Rousseau and Karl. (We don’t really know what happened to Alex, except that Ben wasn’t gone long enough to dig a grave.)
I had three candidates for the burial detail, Others, Survivors and Mercenaries.
I think the important part is that the two bodies weren’t really buried; their faces were still visible. They were also closer together than they had been when we saw them die. I had discarded the Mercenaries as the burial party because the quickest way to dispose of or hide a body in the jungle is to carry it a few yards off a trail and I didn’t think burial was a function of their mission. I had discarded both the Others and the Survivors as candidates because they would have done a better job.
BTW, I don’t think Colleen, Mikhail, Bonnie and Greta were “off-Island” because they were still over its “continental shelf” (there’s probably a better term).
What’s left? The Island takes you back if it wants you. If it doesn’t…. But if laying the corpse out on the surface (with appropriate ceremony?) is the way to rebirth, what was the point of sending Colleen off in a burning boat?

Off topic………………Does anyone have any ideas on why Miles requested 3.2 million dollars from Ben? I think we will get an answer soon but was wondering what people speculate about this. Maybe the sum of the 815 settlement?
Also the travelling gunshot wound. I just rewatched WHH and in the previously on section it CLEARLY shows him getting shot in the heart area and then when Jin rolls him over the wound is magically on the other side. I mentioned it in an earlier post and cannot believe there isn’t more outrage about it. It seems like a pretty big mix-up to me than just some simple oversight.

We didn’t see Rousseau and Karl get buried. Ben sent Alex to the Temple for safety, accompanied by Karl and Rousseau (Hmm). Enroute, while they were taking a water break, Rousseau and Karl were shot. Alex held up her hands and identified herself. The next time we saw her, Keamy had her and soon killed her.
No one buried the bodies. The Island is taking them back. This is a thoroughly creepy thought.

Jim, I think the mercenaries did bury them. Out of charactor for them but they were told to by Widmore. He knew what would happen if they didn’t.
I still think Collens burrial at sea was due to dying on the boat. Not touching sacred ground or something like that.

So I just finished watching “the Brigg” and “the man behind the curttain” again and I’m so glad I did. I really see this whole TT conciosness/possesion theory taking off.
I feel 100% about what several point in my comment from earlier:
“If your future self dies in the past your consciousness is sent to that past version. Meaning charlotte’s mind went back to the kid version in the 70’s just as Desmonds would have been merged with his younger self had not Farraday saved him. Of course, if you do die and younger consciousness reboots itself into your younger version, you remember nothing.”
I’m pretty sure 815 is everyones second time around and course correction. I think they all died in the past first time and just rebooted as themselves again when they were born in the future. We all know the phrase “see you in another life” from the show.” But when that happens you remember NOTHING. RA telling John he needs to find his purpose and kill his dad makees a lot more sense now.
I think the rebirth of Ben and John are differnet though. It seems that conscious time travel was used purposfully. Whith the result being them BOTH being born three months three months premature, and that I just can’t overlook. Kinda makes sense if your consciuones is from a full grown man in the futre. Not to mention that Horace or Ra manage to be there for both births. Then john draws the black smoke as a child!! right!! Then i noticed that RA calls him benjain Linus in the last episode when ben had only met him on time in the forest and only gave the name ben. then there’s this:
from ” the Brigg”
Sawyer asks Cooper how he got to the Island. He says he was driving down I-10 through Tallahassee when someone slammed into the back of his car, sending him through the divider at 70 miles per hour. He remembers being put in an ambulance, where one of the paramedics smiled at him, and then waking up gagged and tied to a chair. A door opened and he was staring at his dead son Locke. -
It sounds like some one went through a lot of trouble to help John get over his immediate past to under hir real purpose.

Anyone able to help?
why is looking glass under water, i mean engineering nightmare what was the purpose of that (not its function, it being under water)?
why didnt sun flash of the plane when the other losties did? i dont get that she shouldnt be on 815 as i always felt that her not taking the opportunity to flee was a course correction to get her on the plane? so she was meant to be on 815 imho
If the post-dharma/natives/others were living with Ben when 815 crashed why did he have to brain wash them?
What happened to Sun being in cohoots with Charles?
Again i ask did Ben stick his followers in the Temple? To protect them from the time travelling? Or the war that is coming?
Do you think Rose & Bernard are gone native?
Why did Des have to stay on the island (to turn the key, to get Charlie to scrafrice himself), is that done? Will anyone else miss him????
i know i always ask questions, rarely moving the debate along but you lot all ways seems to make the mud a bit clearer? Dont even get me started with the big picture? thanks :)

favourite bit of show (next to hurley/miles) was Locke calling the shots to Ben. Felt that the power balance had shifted to Locke who seems the most self assured he as ever been.

About comment 591…young Widmore saying that would certainly explain how Locke seems to have a certain kinship and knowledge of the Island when he first arrived in Season 1. That is, if he was the captain of the Black Rock. Perhaps he’s been there before, and perhaps there is some sort of reincarnation going on.
About comment 592…exactly, how convenient that Juliet did that. In her defense, Kate also wanted Ben to live and Juliet was just responding to that, but still, how convenient.
About comment 600, regarding Ben’s “traveling gunshot wound”…what if the Island knows Ben isn’t supposed to die and it’s not a continuity error on the part of the writers but, rather, the Island actually moving his wound? This is Lost, after all, so why couldn’t the Island do that? Not saying this is the case, just throwing it out there as a possibility. Because that would be a GROSS continuity error, considering that he had been shot literally one episode prior. It’s not like this happened two seasons later.

Regardless, I would imagine the Oceanic settlement would be a considerable amount – more than $3.2 million, unless Hurley kicked in his lottery winnings, too.
OTOH, I do like the idea that both Miles and Ben KNEW how much the O6 were going to get before they returned – like they’d been to the future and saw the amount. Perhaps that was Miles’ way of showing Ben he’d see the future too?

The math could add up, re: Daniel’s age teaching at Oxford, if 1) he is regarded as some prodigy…hey it’s tv; 2) Ellie has to turn the wheel herself and ends up in 1971 or some year palatable to make him age appropriate, he’s born and goes on about his business.
The way they reveal that it is his mother was a shocker on some level, just probably not to the Lost blogger community as a whole.

After reading some posts this morning I have a couple of questions. many people shorten Richard Alperts name to RA…which keeps reminding me of the Egyptian God RA. Is there a connection? I know you have discussed the show having some connections to ancient egypt but what about richards initials being RA? And the fact that he does wear the eye makeup. and I have been also thinking about the purpose of Miles. We know that he can “hear” the dead…is he there to communicate with the dead? The whisperers? Maybe Widmore needed him to “hear” what the whisperers were saying…their plea for help. Some believe that some souls get trapped in between the two worlds…maybe due to unfinished business. Are the whisperers trying to tell everyone what that unfinished business is? Some of the comments have been about the brothers? Could this reference be Desomnd who is always saying “brother”…just some thoughts!

There was an exchange between Ben and Jack which only infers more that Juliet isn’t whom she appears to be.
JACK: Right now, you’re people are in a room deciding whether or not to execute Juliet. You’re going to stop it.
BEN: Juliet doesn’t care about you, Jack. It doesn’t matter what she’s done. No matter what you think — she’s one of us.
If we take what Richard said, “He’ll ALWAYS be one of us”, then is the ALWAYS part the same for Juliet?

I’m new to this blog. I was a long time poster at another blog (not naming names) but some of us have been looking for a new site because there is a wave of “spoiler-zealous” posters at the other site and it ruined all the fun. Anyhow, a co-worker told me about this one and I’ve been reading up for the past week. Some great fans and some great theories!
Most of us have bought into the theory that “whatever happened, happened” and I think most viewers understand what Miles was trying to explain to Hurley. And then we found out why Ben wouldn’t remember meeting Sayid and that validated the theory even more. BUT if everyone is on their own timeline (so to speak) then why was Michael not able to kill himself? He was living in the present – or wasn’t he?
Also, do we really know the purge happened in 1992? We base this on the fact that Horace told Locke that he died 12 years ago – but was Horace in the year 2004 when he said this? Just something to think about…

I also am not sold on the WHH theory yet, even though that was what the title of the episode was, I can’t get past the point of how it happened the first time around.

Re: your 654 post. Sufficient evidence in this forum is a very subjective term. We could probably disprove a lot of assumptions about the show if we wanted.

I don’t think the fact that Miles was the one explaining the rules of TT should make a difference. He only knows what Daniel told him about it, so I think his dialogue should be viewed as simply that, a repeat of what Daniel told him (and us).
I really think the purpose of that scene was that D&C wanted to clarify things for viewers who may not understand what’s going on. They are probably well aware of the confusion that has arisen about the rules of TT. So, they were probably trying to figure out how to do this in a way that seemed natural to the flow of the storytelling, plus they probably wanted to get it into an episode as soon as they could, and this is the episode where it wound up. Daniel wasn’t part of the episode, for reasons I’m sure we’ll eventually find out. Who else to explain it? had to be either Miles, Sawyer or Juliet. Miles hasn’t been doing much so let’s have him do it. And he’s a funny guy, and Hurley’s always been like the audience’s stand-in for a lot of these unexplained issues, so let’s have Miles explain it to Hurley. It could be like an Abbott and Costello routine!
OK sorry for rambling but basically I don’t think you can discount anything Miles said simply because you don’t think he’s an authority on TT. He’s a fictional character in a fictional story, and the writers used him to help clear up some confusion.

Talking about this made me think of why I DON’T think Juliette is an Other that has lost her ‘innocence’. I assume she didn’t lie when she said she was told that they were building a runway…meaning she didn’t know WHY is was being built. If she did know WHY it was being built, she would have known when Jack, et al would be back. She wouldn’t have cried in her bottle when the freighter blew up. She would have known Ben wouldn’t die on the operating table. She wouldn’t be fooled by Ben that she could go home. She would have always had a ‘plan’.

I don’t remember Miles saying “I got this from Faraday” or “Faraday told me this”. It’s good to specualte that he knows only what Daniel told him and very reasonable to assume Daniel did. What he told him, exactly, remains to be seen. I think that was a first attempt for the writers to begin to explain, but not the whole story. JMO. Just as I think the term Constant was not just about that one episode and that will be addressed again.
I wouldn’t want Kate to explain to me the x-ray of Ben’s tumor. Let the Doctor do that.

Duke, I’ve always assumed Farraday was her son. Even after digesting all the valid points from this blog, I could still ONLY assume. Now…..I think there is some shady happenings. We still don’t even know why/how Ben stole Alex. So I must toss my coin in the NO hat with you.
If it is his mother, I don’t think it’s by blood. Farraday is in no way an OTHER. I just can’t see him being one of them, which we know has nothing to do with actually being born ON the island. Blood, by default would have to make him an ‘other’.

I don’t know that the others all know all of those things. They follow because they beleive. The leader (Ben) seems to know more because he has talked to Jacob. In 1954 Richard didn’t seem to know everything about the future and he is def. a other.
The bigger dif. with Juliette is she wants to go “home” and she cares what happens and what is right and wrong in her mind. The other, others seem to be OK with whatever happens if their leaders say it must be so.

LOST for Dummies – by Tarzan
Tarzan hide in cave tunnel, wait for science leader make island war.
Science Leader Goodspeed not have island smarts like Tarzan (even though Science Leader Goodspeed have wicked cool hair like Tarzan).
Not see smart talk man since he shoot science boy.
Tarzan think smart talk man try to find science outpost under the ocean.
Science boy not look so good when scrawny brown hair woman give boy to Native Chief Richard Alpert.
Tarzan think science boy not die in Island Temple, Native Chief Richard Alpert make good magic inside.
Only thing Tarzan know for sure is that one go in Island Temple one way – but one come out very different.
Tarzan remember first shiny metal bird that crash island.
Many boy and girl from shiny metal bird go in Island Temple.
All come out of Island Temple able to walk more quiet and more soft in jungle than Tarzan.
Tarzan sometime see strange black cloud come from Island Temple and hear strange voices without faces. (NO. Tarzan not smoke island weed like science man in teepee).
Tarzan only see one thing recent that Tarzan make sense of. Tarzan see three Work Man in science camp. Science camp not have three Work Man! Science camp have two workman. One new Work Man just arrive with scrawny brown hair girl. One old Work Man drinks much jungle juice and is father of injured science boy. Third Work Man is Willie. Willie drink jungle juice with Tarzan at beach barbeque for Native Chief Richard Alpert birthday many seasons ago. Willie not Work Man, Willie native spy in science camp.

I think Juliette is an other only in the sense that she cant leave. I think it means that once they have you (like Juliette) you belong to them. Some have mentioned that she doesn’t show emotion like Ben and some of the others, but they have clearly showed her quite emotional a number of times. She was devastated when the man she seeing (can’t remember his name) was killed by the tailies. She was a mess when she saw her sister and child…she may not be happy go lucky but i think she has been miserable because she is an “other” by force…not that she chose to or wanted to be. Although Juliette in 1977 did seem happy with Sawyer and at the fact she delivered the baby.

He might have heard the whisperers tell him, “Oh yes, little Ben Linus was shot by an iraqi HOSTILE, and this hot new recruit who eventually hooks up with his dad, brought him to the Others, with the help of Dharma’s head of security. Then his dad shot security guy, Sawyer…I mean LeFleur…in the head(Dead guy in massive grave with hole in his head), because he caught his hot new recruit in bed with him. Then Benny Boy got mad because that was one of the heroes that saved him, so he gassed everyone!”

In post 635 i question the importance of Miles talking to the dead. Is he maybe sent to talk to the whisperers who indeed need him to communicate what they have been trying to tell other people on the island. He was sent for a reason and i don’t think we truly know what that is yet…interesting though that Charlotte was picked to go, as was Faraday and Miles…could Widmore have known they were all on the island before this time?

I assume you are talking about what Alpert said in the scene with Kate and Sawyer
We really don’t know yet what Alpert was referring to when he said “What I mean is that He’ll forget this ever happened and that his innocence will be gone.” He pauses then says “He will always be one of us.” ( Had to transcript it myself, LP is slow on that this week. )
There seems to be 3 important statements he made: remembering, innocence, and one of us. I am confused on all 3.:)
What will Lil Ben forget happened? going into the temple, Sayid shooting him, his life before, etc.
Innocence being gone? Is that because he is going to be an other, his life was saved, he went into the temple, he is going to be a spy until the purge, etc.
ALWAYS one of us? Once you’re in, it sounds like you’re in, there is no leaving, at least from Alpert’s perspective.
So I think I am agreeing with you that what Richard says about Ben only relates to Ben, except for the last bit.

While I can’t say that the mind-erasing thing won’t happen, I did want to add something to the Ben wasn’t supposed to be Ben thing.
D&C said that the Henry Gale/Ben Linus part wasn’t supposed to be a the epic part it is but that because Michael Emerson was so brilliant, they made it so. However, they alluded to the fact that Ben was simply supposed to lead the LOSTies back to the “actual” leader (whether Jacob or someone else) and that would be the end of the role. When Michael Emerson was so amazing, they made HIM the leader. It adjusted the role, but not the overall arc of the story.
Hope that made sense.

Hawkins – Daniel’s mother?
First of all, you are all missing the obvious — Eloise’s last name is HAWKINS, and Daniel’s last name is FARADY.
OK? Hell-oo? She can’t be his mother! They’re not even in the same family!!
Jeez. And I thought you guys were supposed to be smart.
Also, you are focusing on the wrong thing — “I am helping you dear”
Who cares if it is the I or the AM that she is emphasizing? She said DEAR! She doesn’t even know Desmond, and she’s calling him dear?! Clearly this is a clue! She said “Dear” which of course stands for “Daniel Ears Are Redundant” — a butt-obvious reference to the fact that Daniel hears things, but doesn’t really absorb it, can’t remember things (see his notebook, his memory issues, etc).
Now, his real mother would never point out such an embarrassing impairment to a bunch of strangers!!

Firstly, consider the following: Eloise Doe married John Faraday, gave birth to a son Daniel Faraday, divorced John Faraday, and after Daniel had grown up married Joe Hawking. Eloise’s last name is now Hawking but her son’e name remains Faraday. (Of course, I made up the first names of the two husbands.)

MY THOUGHTS OF WHATEVER HAPPENS., HAPPENS
THE EPISODE ITSELF WAS BLAH to me but it spoke volumes.
The episode aired on Apirl 1st but there used to be a march 32nd which means that day could be no existent idk but check lostpeida they have an intresting take on this just type march 32nd
This episode could have been one of the most imporant perhapts had kate listened to Jack and let the island correct itself maybe ben would have actually died
+ I really did not trust juliette in this episode she totally had a doom doom doom moment when she told kate of the OTHERS
+ another comment on this thought is that miles should have kept his word and shot her in the leg
+ Kate should have listened to the guy who brought her off the island the first time and who could probley do it again
Other thoughts of this episode
+ wheres Sayid did he run to the other in serch for Henry Gale(they referenced the wizard of oz )or does he just go to the beach or hiding in the jungle
+Where the Heck is Benard and Rose and the othe extraz that did not die for that matter
did they join the other are they dead ? did they disapper with the island?
+Wheres MR.Desmond and Miss Penny , is there son the charlie we all knew and loved.
+is there outside world 1977 and if it is dosent that mean there in aother world because desmond in the sea with penny in 2008 but yet he is supposed to be comeing to the island in the event of the race across the world.
+And lastly how does jack get off the island again because we know he does bc in the episode the looking glass we see him lookinmg for the island in an igloo working for penny
So does any one have weird lost dreams and everyday lost moments like me .im a lost junkie heyy .lol.

Tarzan is funny.. there’s just no way around that.
Everything will be ok tomorrow night guys..we’re all still scorned over traumatized over the ‘traveling gun-shot wound’.

Ever read the novel Tarzan of the Apes? The spelling is Jane in the novel. More Tarzan. More Yoda.

If you don’t want to discuss it, you don’t have to. Bringing up another topic about the show instead of bashing an individual might change the subject. I am sure this discussion will carry over until we ACTUALLY see the birth of Faraday, and even then, who knows.:)

Thank you DUKE!
I was hoping I didn’t need to put a smiley or LOL after my intentionally over-the-top analysis of the Hawkins-Faraday froo-froo.
But, once again, I must remember never to assume that my sense of humor will be understood.
:-)
Or appreciated.
I thought it was funny.

On another note,
what delicious irony that Sawyer is taken in by Juliet.
She is pulling a long con on the master of the long con.
Beautiful poetic justice, but it is gonna be ugly when she pulls her mask off (no, not literally), and reveals herself to be “one of us”

So Ben is Jacob. Or should I say that Jacob is Ben. Jacob is Ben before Ben was Ben. Does that make sense?

It’s OK, Tasha! Jayne ignores “natives.”
Jayne still LUVS Tarzan.
This Jayne spells her name with a “y.” If “natives” don’t like it, they can get off the big island and go harass “Jane” on little island.
Jayne stay on big island, drinking Jungle Juice and eating mangoes with Tarzan.
Jayne really likes Jungle Juice…but…makes evil, bugged-eye man kinda cute!

I don’t think so. Richard knew who Jacob was back in 1954 (“Jughead”). He didn’t meet Ben until after Ben’s arrival in 1973 (“The Man Behind the Curtain” and “He’s Our You”).

Tarzan gone. So are “natives.”
Jayne drinks more Jungle Juice…hic!
Either Tarzan take everyone off Big Island to go party on Little Island…..or he peep through “yellow-haired, goddess, Juliet’s” window and watch American Idol.
Tarzan better be careful, or “yellow-haired goddess’s” four-toed foot may end up Tarzan butt…hic!

I think people are getting wrapped around the axle about this whole WHH stuff. It doesn’t have to be one way or the other. What ever happened happened does not mean that what didn’t happen can’t happen. In other words things still can change…. just not things that can cause time paradoxes (such as going back in time and killing your mom before you were born). I think the whole point of ‘Lost’ is that something MUST change in order to save humanity.
The thing I am trying to figure out still is the whole ’108 minutes’ thing. If that was preventing another ‘incident’ or saving us from the end of the world somehow then why has that not happened yet? What exactly was the fail safe key’s role? If it could have just ended all this nonsense in regards to entering the numbers earlier than why did it not get used earlier? If the creator of the fail safe key only wanted it be used in a last ditch effort type thing than there has to be some terrible consequence for using it. What is that consequence and why have we not seen it yet? More than 108 minutes passed on the island after the key was used…… Or, have we been given the consequence already but just don’t recognize it yet?
Ben not remembering what ever it is that it will turn out that he forgets after going in the temple takes me back to my Jack theory. I believe it gives more credence to my Jack theory. After Jack woke up in the jungle post the 815 crash I claim that he flashed from a different time and didn’t crash like everyone else (see my previous posts). Now it is evident that Jack could have went in the temple and had ‘his mind erased’ as others have put it. Maybe Jack is an ‘other’. We don’t yet know what it means to be an ‘other’ and we are all speculating.
Oh and by the way…. Could it be that Christian is not dead yet when 815 crashed and after the ‘Oceanic 6′ get rescued? Could it be that Christian lived to a future time and then flashed back to Australia to meet Claire or save her or something along those lines and then he died. That would be like Sawyer, Kate, Jack, Hurley, Miles, or Juliet dying in 1977. They were alive in 2004 so for them what we are seeing in 1977 is actually after 2004. That would certainly explain why after Jack was rescued he was in the hospital saying something along the lines of ‘get my father down here right now and if he is not drunker than me….’. That line always struck me as very odd because we already saw Christian’s funeral and Jack was all messed up on pills during that whole ‘beard’ thing between the ‘oceanic 6′ rescue and flight 316.
I also agree that Jacob is someone we have not seen yet… for the same reasons stated above and a few more. Anyways, that’s my story and I am sticking to it… Until next week… lol

Totally agree on these two points. I brought these up in the past too. DHARMA was trying to find a way to change one of the factors(numbers)to save the world as we know it and just what did turning the key do?

Umm, a mom doesn’t have to have the same last name as her children slugdoc.
My mom who gave birth to me and has always been married to my dad has kept her maiden name, as has my mom’s mom, and as have I. Some women don’t take on the last name of their husband.
So arguing that Eloise Hawking is not Faraday’s mom because they don’t have the same last name is not a valid argument.

I agree with your first 2 points because I am sure I have heard it before and said to myself “I agree with that”.
IMO, this one can be chalked up to the evidence you presented. Jack was drunk and on pills. You may be right though, it could possibly tie-in. IME something someone utters, in that state of mind, can not be taken seriously.
I do apologize Jayne, was just pointing out the spelling of the Jane in the Tarzan story.:)

IMO, since we are seeing this played out in a disjointed fashion, we will never know what didn’t happen. We will only know what ‘actually’ happened. Everytime something of note occurs, people who are following this line of reasoning can say, “see, that’s what happened, it didn’t happen any other way,” and the proof will be what is aired on the show.
To the extent that you are saying things can change–I would say, well it isn’t changing, that’s how it always was. We’d have to see an actual revisit of an event and different outcome from what has been presented on the show, in order to prove that something changed. Otherwise you’d be essentially having your own version of LOST, catered to your own imagination and theory of what should be happening. Prime example would be the birth of Aaron, and IF Sawyer would have run over and interacted.
As far as the 108 minutes situation, that was something that appears to be Dharam created, but I struggle with it because I can’t imagine Dharma having the ability to effect all of humanity, it seems that would be something that would’ve been coming from the Other’s camp. Maybe Dharma creates it under the direction of someone “in the know,” but to the extent that they can effect humanity with this 108 minute clock, it seems that they would be unaware of whatever catastrophe that would occur. Otherwise I think they would not be as lax with it.
So my theory on it, is that the 108 min. clock was created solely for the purpose of Desmond bringing down 815, so that in some kind of way, it would ensure that all of these chain of events happen. It’s not much but I need more to be revealed.

Loat4ever, it’s ok.
Jayne not get mad over lack of spell checker, or people not like her.
Jayne still LUVS Tarzan.
Jayne just worried about Tarzan eying “yellow-haired goddess.”
Jayne contemplates cat-fight with “yellow-haired goddess.”

Jayne is new to Island!
Jayne is concerned about Big Island Hostiles “Welcoming Committee.”
Does Jayne need to leave Island, or sacrifice self to Island Temple?

_____________________________________
I agree with RGS on this – we may never get a definitive answer that will satisfy everyone. We’ve been told by the characters on the show that there is only one version of how things happened, so that is what I believe to be the rule. The only way I would change my thought on that is if they reenact a scene from a previous episode, and it plays out differently than it did the first time it aired.

Remember, the time loop theory referenced by Adapa1. There may be a problem because if time truly looped, the relevant timeliness for each character would reset to what they were at the beginning of the loop. Perhaps the time line was skewed in the past say eight months for example. The pushing of the button allowed the relevant time line to continue, eight months in the past, rather then catch up with “San Dimas time”. (Reference to Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure – “The clock is still running”) In this way, the character’s personal time lines would seem linear from their personal points of view. This is why Ben and the Others living in Dharmaville don’t perceive a repeat of time, but are living a continuous linear lifestyle.

I don’t think this is very likely. He was confirmed dead by various authorities in Australia, and presumably was embalmed. Yes, I’m assuming that because we didn’t see the embalming take place, but based on my knowledge of embalming (thanks to “Six Feet Under”) I believe it’s pretty much standard operating procedure to embalm a dead body within a few days, and certainly before putting the body on a plane.
