I was a little disappointed. Dharmalar is full of shit! He said something crazy would happen... what was it?

That he would get banned?

 

[ianswoody]

You'll be back to holy shit stuff next week anyway.

OMG! You've seen the leaked episodes! We get it already! Fuck!

However, I do agree with you that too many people are throwing around the "filler" word too much in conjunction with this episode. The plot may not have moved along at a dramatic pace, but we did learn a few things.

 

[Akia]

I have mixed feelings about this episode.

 

[Shorty]

That he would get banned?

Why did he anyway?

 

[woodchuck]

the thing i didn't like about this episode was the introduction of that new station.

it was like it just came out of nowhere. i didn't feel like they really set it up.

They did. Remember the purge?

 

[woodchuck]

they never mentioned a station that powered the island and could release gas.

they just showed a bunch of gas cannisters.

Yeah I kinda felt that too. Same with that psychotherapist.

I <3 Juliet.

Best character in the show.

Beats me. I was just joshin'.

 

[ZeoVGM]

OMG! You've seen the leaked episodes! We get it already! Fuck!

..What? No I haven't.

But we know that next week we get the last two Oceanic Six and an old character is coming back. It's pretty obvious next week is an omg episode.

I've seen ONE spoiler by mistake. And if that happens then we get a OMFG moment. Not just OMG!

I've seriously stayed completely away from spoilers this season, but one thing got ruined for me. (If it's true.)

Ah Fuck we know who the man on the boat is already and I know who the last two of the Oceanix Six are

Sometimes I wish I would stay away from Internet Lost discussion, because even if you avoid reading spoilers some stuff will always be figured out during discussion.

Maybe I'll watch the last 2 seasons on DVD/Blu Ray for this reason.

Beats me. I was just joshin'.

That one spoiler with the OMFG moment.....in the past episode did something in it make you feel uneasy because of the OMFG spoiler? Because if so, then I know exactly the spoiler you're talking about unfortunately

Ever since then, I've stayed away from all fucking Lost-specific message boards.

Wasn't it that Widmore was looking for the island, and that he is the real enemy, now?
That's what I thought, anyways.

 

[The Hermit]

To be fair, Ben's been through an awful lot since that point. I mean, his whole world got flipped upside down when that plane landed, he's been taken prisoner, he had his ass beatdown any number of times...stuff like this can mature a spoiled brat, IMO.

Not saying he's well-adjusted or anything, but I do think he could still turn out to be good (believably so) in the end.

Hell no.
He´s the wickest of all vilain I´ve ever seen... really no one is a match for him. For example, in the future, Saiyd who was the first guy sho saw trough his fake persona fucking WORKS for him.

 

[Twilight Princess]

screw the haters. this episodes not bad, juliet is hot, ben's awesome, and... "YOU'RE MINE".

 

[Kevtones]

Some big things I'm pretty sure about:


(these are combination of theories and things that have been hinted at thus far, and as such, include nothing concrete from future episodes except for who the last 2 Oceanic 6 are but that should be super obvious considering the title of E7 of this season)

Spoiler

The big electromagnetic-blast at the end of S2 is the big reason people can/can't get off the island. Whatever it did, it is what is still keeping people on the island in future seasons. Think about it: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sawyer, Walt and Michael were all with the others, far away from the hatch. Sayid, Jin and Sun were also all far away from on the boat trying to flank the others. The Oceanic 6 are: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Jin, and Sun. We all know that Walt/Michael got off somehow, and we know Sawyer doesn't want to leave. This would explain why Claire is still on the island/dead and why Desmond is looking to be dead sooner than later. Aaron was also born on the island and this could be written to work somehow.

In this last episode, the whole Annie-Ben relationship was hinted at during Juliet's therapy session. Since last season's Ben flashback, we've wondered WHY Ben purged Dharma. The theory is that Ben and Annie (the girl who gave him the woodblocks as a kid) were together and she got pregnant, but because of Dharma forcefully made her have the baby (which killed her), Ben WENT SOMETHING SOMETHING and murdered them. This is his driving reason for keeping Juliet on the island, for his experiments, and his overriding insanity.

The ending to the videogame hints that the island allows for self-correction through time travel and as we saw in The Constant, someone like Desmond has that power.

Yeah but we kinda knew that already.

Okay that WAS awesome!

I laughed out loud when Ben said that line, the proceeded to stumble up the hill like a fool. :lol

That's a pretty sound theory, I think.

Well that was kind of symbolic. Physically Ben is just a weak guy... Psychologically he's a monster AND HE KNOWS IT

 

[firehawk12]

Maybe I'm just stupid, but did anyone else notice that Faraday is rocking the Tim Shafer/Uncharted half-tuck?
I wonder if that's just a coincidence or if one of the costume designers are nerds.

I'm not positive what you just asked me, to be honest, but I'll try and respond.

Nothing in the previous episode made me feel uneasy because of the OMFG spoiler.

But you said so I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about.

I hope it's not true.

Someone in this thread was wondering what it was that Charles Whidmore did. They asked if maybe he was the economist.

Well, according to Episode 2x23, on the back of his book that he shows Libby, he is a philanthropist and something else (I was watching it before, noticed it, wanted to report it, had dinner instead, and now am here and all I remember is philanthropist).

So...he's not the economist...unless he's added that to his repertoire.

Thought I would report this. Getting my g/f into the show, we're just about to watch season 3 (BLU RAY!!!) and have gone through about 40 episodes in 3 days. It's pretty intense.

I caught something pretty interesting:

Ben tells Juliet: "You're Mine" in this episode.

In Ben's flashback (3.22), when he's about to cross the sonar fence, a whisper can be heard saying this:

Man: "Ben, You're my prisoner and you are mine".


Might not mean anything, but interesting nonetheless.

I didn't hear that. This would

shed a new light on Ben if true. Maybe he's Jacob's prisoner?

 

[GilloD]

One of the better theories I've heard

Spoiler

Is that both Widmore and Ben have knowledge of future events. They're trying to use the island to sway those events in their favor. Ben for good, Widmore for evil

 

[TrueReligion]

Well, you can't really hear the whispers. You need to do alot of audio techniques to hear what they are saying, since there are so many audio tracks overlapping.

This may be considered a spoiler then. I'm gonna tag my post, maybe you should too,

 

[Spotless Mind]

Wow, i just caught up on episode 5. Fucking fantastic. Possibly the best episode of the show. It was a very nice standalone and actually had a structural pay off within the episode, while also adding to the overall arc. If only all the episodes were like this.
