LOST (Warning: Possible Spoilers)

[SmootSmack]

I still don't get how Widmore even knows about the island. I mean Ben made it sound like Widmore knew that Locke crashed there, was in a wheelchair and is now walking.

SS!!! Ben is working his Jedi mind shit on you too!! Ben wants Locke to THINK Widmore knows about the island! What do we know? We know Ben has lied about pretty much everything. He's eerily deceptive and manipulative. We know Ben showed Locke a video that could be interpreted a hundred different ways. Some dude gets pulled out of a car and beaten up by Widmore. And? To assume Ben isn't totally full of shit is exactly what he wants and keeps pulling off. I haven't come up with a prediction for next week yet, but I don't believe Benjamin Linus. That's fo sho.

Widmore doesn't - it was an example. That is, Ben was saying people want to find the island because of the effect it has on people, like it did on John. That was my impression, anyway.

Remember last week, Widmore bought the ledger from the Black Rock back in 1994(?). Apparently no one had read it before he bought it.

Also, I was thinking about your previous post re: Desmond smiling a bit in the past after Penny answered the phone in the future while I re-watched the last few minutes and you are 100% right.

Damn - good catch! I completely missed that!

Wow, great call about the Black Rock ledger. Forgot all about that.

Maybe with some kind of connection with Des?

Desmond thought it was 1996 when Widmore bought the ledger at the auction, and gave Desmond the address of Penny's flat...

The painting of the Black Rock is hung in Widmore's office during one of Desmond's flashbacks during Season 2 I believe.

However, I skipped over what you guys have said about last night's episode because I haven't seen it yet. Will watch over the weekend...

Hurley won 156 million coconuts in the Island Lotto using codes for the video game Commando found in Farraday's journal and Bernard was subsequently eaten by Vincent. Hurely felt responsible, so he went off to live in one of the polar bear cages.
It was an odd episode.

[BDBohnzie]

Sweet. Something to look forward to.

What about the whole gas thing? I don't really know what to make of it. Why was it going to go off, and how did Ben know about it?

And poor Jack just wants to get laid. he has been playing this leader/doctor role for a long time with no payoff. I hope Juliet will help the doc out.

or in

Not the best episode, but pretty good. Probably would have been better if I hadn't known Michael was the "man on the ship". His character sucks, so I'm not thrilled to see him back.

Did anyone notice the date on Jin's gravestone? It says "9/22/2004", the day of the crash. Nothing revolutionary - just interesting how thorough the writers are.

kinda sux that Jin dies, but it makes sense he would die to protect Sun and their child. Any bets on who takes a dirt nap next week?

I thought it was Sun that was going to die. I think maybe Lapidus dies next week
