Except look at Locke with Richard, what does he say to gain an audience? “Jacob sent me.” That was 1954(?) so Jacob has been a known entity long before Mr. Goodspeed built a cabin.

I read, and I can’t find the thread, some one bring up Miles using Enos as his “cover”, not the case because that was a nod to the epic know as The Dukes of Hazzard. I knew it right away being a child of the era. Also it says Miles on his jumpsuit.

It was good, and had more potential.

Good point. Although we did see Goodspeed building Jacob’s cabin. Maybe they are wandering around. Maybe we’ll meet a DI worker named Jacob…

I named my cat OSIRIS. Just found out today he has a cancerous growth in his throat. Wish I could bring HIM to The Island.

Yeah, I realized last night while I was trying to fall asleep, that the other AJIRA survivors were in fact in a different (current?) time line from Jack, Hurley & Kate.

Sorry

I’m pretty sure little ben is in the next episode

I think you’re on to something. Ties in to the Egyptian themes of this week’s episode: the island may be a half-way house where the dead and the living can interact with each other. Eko’s brother is another example of an unburied corpse reappearing or possibly being animated by Smokey. I thought it was strange last season that Keamy’s team went to all the trouble of burying Rousseau and Karl on their way to capture Ben. Maybe one of Widmore’s instructions to them?

Makes you wonder though about all those Dharma bodies thrown in that open pit after the purge.

I haven’t heard any mention of the Truce! I think that’s really interesting. Why did Amy want the two bodies buried? Why did it matter how deep? Why did the Others want Paul’s dead body for breaking the truce? Any theories?

Does it seem that people who die but aren’t buried reappear on the show? Christian, Locke, Charlie, Claire, Patchy? Who knows if the latter two are dead but does the theory work?

Yes. I think though, that he also said “I won’t tell her…”
So I’m of the impression that Daniel was talking about Charlotte’s remembered/relived childhood encounter with a ‘scary man’ telling her to leave the Island and never come back. I believe that Dan is cruisin’ for a course correcting bruisin’.

Jin and Sun have been married for years. Do you know how long Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Juliet have known each other when Jack and Kate left? less than 4 months.

By: dolce

dolce — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 20:32:09 +0000

Yeah, where? And I’m not usually a spoiler-phobe, but damn dude! Way to just lay it out there without warning or consideration… TWICE!

By: dolce

dolce — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 20:28:50 +0000

I think what he meant when he said “I won’t” was interfere with time and what happened happened. Of Charlotte remembering her chidhood enconter happened, so who knows?

Plus, that woul make them children of Dharma-not Others.

I agree, and , yeah, this guy is playing catch-up.

Well I did google it, and I looked at pictures of Horus, but like a lot of the Egyptian gods there are variations on appearance and meaning and I wondered if anyone who knows more than me saw a connection to Lost that I missed. It seems to me just as likely as Anubis. My point was just that the name immediately struck me during the show without me remembering much about it, then I looked it up. And I meant more the writers might have been making a connection between Horus/Horace, I wasn’t just talking about etymology.

I have 1,000% faith that the writers know what they’re doing and haven’t forgotten about the young Ben Linus on the Island in the 70s. I’m sure it’ll come up.

You are correct sir.

He’s not wearing eyeliner though. He said in an interview after the “jughead” episode that he’s always been told it looks like he is but he said its because he has thick, black eyelashes. its just a joke the writers put in because of that. Means nothing to the story.

Without having read all the above posts-anyone notice the absence of any mention of a young Ben Linus in the three years (in the 70′s)? I’m still hoping the writers know what they’re doing and aren’t missing some key issues.

they pretty much disappeared in the flaming arrow attack, which would have been 50 years from when Jack found the bodies in the cave. So not out the window, but out in the cave:)

So….you’ve noticed that the show is being written in the exact same way it has been since the first season? Try not to read this as condescending garbage (because that’s not my style, however that’s hard to convey with just text online) but the questions you have aren’t any stranger than: How did a French scientific team get to the Island but no help can get to the Island? How is there a slave ship in the middle of a pacific Island? How are there other people on the Island? How has this HUGE Island never been found by anyone in the outside world? How did an airplane from Nigeria crash on the Island? These are all questions that were eventually answered. You gotta have faith, babe.

The characters don’t acknowledge how crazy a situation they’re in because they rarely ever have. Doing such would probably mark a drastic change in form. All they’ve tried to do for the last 4+ seasons is not die and leave the island / get back to it. If they ever took a step back to look at what they were doing their heads would probably explode. That’s how Kate reacted when Jack told her that they have to go back. She realized how insane everything is and tried in vain to extricate herself from the ridiculous needs of a fucking Island but she failed to realize that the Island’s destiny is sewn into the very fabric of her own ultimate fate.

I think everyone pretty much got used to the fact that the characters don’t ask anyone pertinent questions somewhere around Season 2 when Kate found out that the Others weren’t actually homeless looking people only she didn’t tell anyone for about 10 episodes. The questions you have are valid but those are the questions that are in the progress of being answered. I would advise you to be a little more patient with the show.

By any chance are you someone who caught up with the show watching it online or have you been watching since the beginning? I know a lot of people who blew through the first four seasons in a few weeks and right now they’re having trouble with how slow everything is when you watch it in real time. Try to stick with it a little, I know how maddening it can be at times. Lost can be a harsh mistress.

Has anyone else considered that the Pharaoh’s of Egypt wore eyeliner?!
