RA, I agree on the Ben being bloody and such… really anything is possible concerning that. I wouldn’t mind any of the possibilities either. Des defending Penny would be really great, Ben killing Penny and forcing Des to hunt him down and have to return to the island wouldn’t be AS great but it would be bittersweet in its own right? And as the writers have promised Desmond and Penny aren’t gonna have their happy ending… at least not yet. So who knows.  And, of course, a Sayid-Ben fight would be epic.  but then again perhaps it was something we completely do not expect… it is Lost after all. 
Haha, and on Jack… well, I understand that still. Jack still isn’t my fave character but this season he’s at least been fairly cool, ya know? Not asking Kate where Aaron was and some of the other stupid things he did were annoying, BUT at least he’s not Mr. Leader Man this season.  he’s taken more of a step back and he’s just… less annoying and more cool for it. “More faith-y“… that’s a way to put it.
And about everything else… er, I agree 100% with waht you said! 
I’m still puzzling over Aaron… All I can think of is Ben or Mrs. Hawking got him… for some reason? I don’t really know. That is really the only thing at this time that I have no really good thoughts on or theories for.  Another thing could be that perhaps Aaron doesn’t have to be with the rest… yet. Perhaps even though he was in Claire maybe it wouldn’t have been good to bring him on the plane since he wasn’t ACTUALLY on the original flight… maybe he has to come back in some other way? I dunno if they’re counting him a part of the original flight or not. *shrugs*
And I do believe Locke will come back! In the promo for this next episode that lady (she looks like the woman who’s sitting beside Sayid on the plane) said something like “I don’t remember you on the plane” and Locke says he didn’t remember being on a plane the only thing he remembered was dying. that seems to be pretty hard evidence that he’ll come back… at least in some form when he’s on the island. That and Ben telling the Thomas the apostle story to Jack.

So, I just watched the latest episode. I thought it was good. I was so sad for Locke. 
To go into detail. *SPOILER WARNING*
I loved how they framed the split people. I started to guess who he was visiting... didn't get any of them right. Got one half right though, lol.
Sayid... this was my favorite. Him building houses. Oh, I loved seeing that. But, only being married for 9 months???  I wanted to cry. Even though I didn't, my jaw dropped and my voice tried to comfort him.
Walt... oh my goodness! I totally forgot about him! I was so excited to see him. The connection him and John had in the beginning of Season 1. This was like a nice little refresher. I don't know how he is going to take his father dieing, but Locke being nice with, "He has already been through enough." So sweet.
Kate... this was the one I got half right. lol. I thought it was Sun. Ugh. She was annoying. She has been for the past while. Because she loves someone? That is why she can't go back? I thought that would be a reason to go back. I mean, Sawyer is still on the island, unless this is some wacked-out form of love I have never heard about where you don't want to be with the person.
Helen... this was so sad, but kinda funny at the same time. Let me explain myself so I don't sound too morbid. The screen flashed "San Diego, CA", and I was mad excited with the whole, "I WAS BORN THERE! YIPPEE!" attitude. So, going in with complete and total bliss, it made me feel like remorseless. lol.
Jack... harsh. That is the only thing I can say. "Made you aren't special, Locke. Maybe you are just normal." Harsh. I fear for your children.
Ben vs. Witmore... I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TRUST ANYMORE!!! So, I have decided. Universally, John is special. Both Ben and Witmore agreed on those terms. So, I am just going to go with that and not trust either of them. They both want to be John, but they can't.. because John is John. Witmore is just Witmore... but Ben so cannot become John and move down in awesomeness. The writers can't allow that. I think that both Ben and Witmore are trying to get the island back for themselves, not really a difficult conclusion to make. So, basically, don't trust either of them, but still laugh at Ben's jokes.  _________________ <center>

Stupid, stupid Ben. I want to believe you are good so badly, but you just keep making it harder for me to love you. MUST you go around killing people? Poor John.
That was my initial reaction to last night's episode...and then I read some theories online that suggested that Ben was ultimately helping Locke because he had to die but needed to die with his faith, or he couldn't be resurracted after a suicide or something. I don't know.
Here is my BIG-THEORY-OF-BEN-AND-WIDMORE-NESS.
They are fighting each other for control of the island; whether one of them is actually fighting for the greater good, or if this is nothing more than a power struggle, we shall see. But either way they are trying to use everyone around them to achieve their goals. They don't really care about anyone, with the possible exceptions of their respective daughters. Thus, they both seem to do bad things (such as manipulating, using, killing people) but there is a possibility that they do them in order to acieve a greater good. Still. Neither of them are the sort of guys you want to be trusting.
Which sucks for Locke, since he trusts just about anyone who calls him special. Did you notice how both Ben AND Widmore emphasized that he was important, and claimed that they were fighting the other on BEHALF of John, so he could supposedly take his role as True Leader?
I don't buy it. Neither of them wants to help or follow John, they both just want to use him. Locke is at his best when he admits that he may not be important, but does not let that dishearten him and still tries to do the best that he can.
Unfortunately, this only happens VERY rarely. Locke gets his purpose in life from some sort of pre-destined meaning and his own sense of importance. I don't think Locke is as Special! as we have thought him to be. Jughead revealed that the only reason Locke was followed as a kid was because he told the others to. The only evidence I can find of any special-ness is A) his healing after the plane crash and B) his seeming premonitions about some events, such as drawing a picture of the black smoke as a kid. As for A, well, Rose was healed from her cancer...does that make her the savior of the island? And B...well, that gets into another lovely theory of mine about time all existing at once and certain people being able to connect with the coexisting planes of time easier than others. Walt would be superspecial at this. Locke may possess a bit of this talent...but it wasn't significant enough for him to pass Richard's test.
Anyway. My point is, Locke is simply being used. He's not some Special! tool that Ben and Widmore want on their side; he's just a tool. The tragedy of it is he doesn't realize it. If he found some humility and accepted his normalness, but still allowed himself to do what he needed to for the island's greater good, he wouldn't have all of these issues.
My current theory anyway. As with everything with Lost, it could change at any moment.

Honestly, RA, that’s what I believe regarding Ben killing Locke. I do really believe he did it FOR Locke’s own sake… either because he knew Locke would have to die in the end and Locke wouldn’t have the guts to go through with it or for Locke’s own protection period. Just the way Ben acted through that whole scene… unless he is MUCH trickier than I thought he seemed sad… in a way, you know? Not to mention if he wanted to be leader and get rid of Locke so he could be why would he want to take Locke back to the island with them? He would just let them forget about him and left him to be buried in America. Perhaps I’m just trying to make excuses for him since I will forever be on his side, I don’t know, but that‘s what I think.
Honestly, this past episode was amazing.  I was stunned… I mean, Abaddon’s death was a total shock to me. As was Helen’s. And then everything Widmore told Locke about the island and such… and Ben. Whoa. Though he oculd be lying. Seriously, I pitied Locke having to go back and forth between Widmore and Ben because both men are lying and poor Locke was so confused. I really wanted Ben to just be there for him and help him and win him over that way… but noooo.  oh well. The whole Ben-Locke scene was epic in and of itself anyway.
Hmmm, in interesting theory, RA. Honestly, I never thought of Locke as not being special… I just went with the flow and believed that he was... hmmm. I dunno. I guess I still like to think that he is special in some way… though you have very good points. Walt and Desmond both seem to be more special. I dunno, I can believe that both Widmore and Ben would prey on Locke’s “special-ness” to reach their own goals. And I will be very interested to see how this “war” turns out… and who the right guy is. Probably neither Widmore nor Ben. I seriously hope that Ben will turn… better though. Is that too much to ask? Or would it ruin his character some? Ah, it might. *sighs* I also have a sickening feeling that before the end of season 6 Ben will die. Just because once they get back to the island and all that… well, what else is there for him to do? He will want to be leader of the Others, right? Or not. He seemed to want to bring Locke back for some purpose? Perhaps to use as RA suggested. I’m not really sure. I’m also curious to see what the island wants Desmond for. He seems pretty important. And I wanna see what happened to Penny… and if Ben got her. Gaaahhh, I just want to see what this war is about and learn more about the Ben-Widmore relationship because neither of them are telling the truth about the other.

Locke: What makes you think I'm so special?
Widmore: Because... *dramatic pause*
(Me: Yes?! YES?! Out with it man!)
Widmore: ...you are.
(Me: For. Freakin'. Real?)
...and we just thought Ben was cryptic.
Okay, on RA's Ben/Widmore theory: I agree with the power struggle thing - and the possibility of one of them being for the greater good. But my question is, where does Jacob (or Christian for that matter) fit into this? Are Linus and Widmore really just pawns themselves to some much... er... higher individuals?
I do disagree with you on Locke being special though. I think Locke and Jack and specifically special to the island... kind of like Ben and Charles. So basically... everybody thinks that they're using everybody as pawns... but the Island is actually kind of controlling everyone. (Funny how we've come to think of the island as it's own entity, innit?)
On the innocence of Ben: Well, haven't we already kind of established that Ben is something of a psycho? So no matter what his motives were behind strangling Locke, it doesn't change his character. I mean, he's already shot the man once and left him to die. Ben solutions often entail death. That doesn't make his character any less awesome. _________________ <center>

^well said, FM! (on the Ben part specifically  )
Anyway, on the episode, LaFleur... Personally, it wasn’t one of my favorite episodes from season 5. but it WAS good in its own right. And I enjoyed having more Sawyer screen time and Juliet screen time. Also I was extremely happy over the Sawyer getting over Kate stuff. I wanted to jump for joy and be like “in your face, Katie, what’re you gonna do now that you can’t switch between Sawyer and Jack!?” on the other hand I wasn’t overly fond of the Juliet/Sawyer pairing. They just don’t work, IMO. I thought them as friends was really sweet but as lovers… not so much.  I love the whole Dharma stuff though. That’s very cool seeing our fave charries as Dharma people. Also Faraday… the poor guy. You just want to give the depressed mad scientist a hug. though I found it slightly odd but sorta cute when he saw little Charlotte. I dunno. Just the way he acted was weird. Lol like, stalkerish. Or maybe that’s just me…  I do wonder if Charlotte couldn’t go with them to that time because she was already there. Hmm. I don’t think she’s dead though. When people just disappear like that on LOST and it’s not said FOR CERTAIN if they’re dead or not they usually aren’t. Oh, and Richard was good as ever in this ep. And that’s about all I have to say. The whole Sawyer getting over Kate thing was the highlight for me…  I cannot wait til she finds out that Sawyer is with Juliet... that almost makes their pairing worthwhile. 
Oh and can we have more Sayid and Desmond screentime now… pwease. *puppy-eyes*

Dan-angst was horrible. He just seemed so... broken. When he saw Charlotte... gah. No, it didn't seem at all stalkerish to me, but he wasn't himself obviously. He's like a broken shadow of Daniel. It tears me up.
And what is this with the taco, every-possible combination relationships? Sawyer and JT? Come on! This is getting ridiculous. Someone needs to tell JJ that the whole point of true love is that it STAYS true. Ugh. And how do we know Sawyer has really gotten over Kate? This is Lost, afterall. He could be all like, *angst"Katemyonetruelove!"angst* in the next episode. Okay... maybe not.
I agree PD, more Sayid and Desmond! And actually... more Richard.
Quote: Jack still isn’t my fave character but this season he’s at least been fairly cool, ya know?
I agree! I like him almost as much as I liked him in Season One again.
And Locke... wow. Have I mentioned how much I like Locke this season? It's weird because I used to hate Locke... but this whole sacrifice thing has been sooooo neat. _________________ <center>

I totally agree with this. Between Locke and Jack, I think Jack is the more special one. After all, it's Jack's family that the island/Jacob uses to speak for it. And I think that because Jack doesn't think he's special, he is more special. I do think Locke could become the leader of the Others at some point, though.
My current theory is that Ben is fighting for the good of the island, while Widmore is just trying to exploit it for business purposes. Of course, who told us Widmore wanted to exploit the island? Ben did. And that was before we knew Widmore had been the leader of the Others. So I could easily imagine them simply being in a power struggle, too.
Speaking of which, if the island is now in the 1970's, would Widmore be the leader of the Others at this time? And why exactly do they need a leader, when they've got Richard? _________________

On LaFleur...
I've known that the Sawyer/Juliet thing was going to happen for a while now. (Yay, spoilers.) When I first heard about it, I was just sort of...put off. (Really? Are we going to pair up everyone in EVERY single possible combination?) I liked Sawyer and Kate together and I appreciated Juliet's longing for Jack despite their obvious incompatability. But then I realized I only really liked the Sawyer part of Sawyer/Kate anyway, and I'd probably like him with just about anybody. In fact I was rather sick of Kate. And I still am. Too bad she's back.
Anyway, the more I thought about Sawyer and Juliet the more I liked the idea. Something about her calmness and deatched-ness, paired with his absolute lack thereof, seemed like it would work. So I was really happy when it finally happened this episode.
Although...I don't think the actors really pulled it off. Maybe it just happened too fast. I loved the '73 stuff...the "I've got your back" and the scene when he convinces her to stay were excellent. But as much as I was rooting for them, the '77 scene at the end felt a little pushed.
But still, I was really happy. Alas, all possible combined names are tragically awkward. Julyer? Sawliet? Eck.
HAHA! Sawyer being called 'Jim'. I found that inexplicably funny.
I hate to play the let's-assume-THIS-baby-is-important-and-guess-who-he-is game that inevitably ensues every time a newborn graces the screen, but I've heard that Amy's baby does indeed turn out to be someone special. So I wonder who...
And also...whoa. Statue. Out of nowhere...
Wonder what it means.

I agree--I think that in the end Jack will end up eing the truly special one. Which is really sad for Locke (and us Locke fans) who wanted to be special and believed in destiny from the beginning. In addition to the family line, Jack seems to be the natural leader. The fact that he's rebelling against the island so strongly shows how much of a hold it actually has on him. To use a biblical allusion, John may be a John the Baptist to Jack's Jesus, ultimately. John will lead the way, but he will step aside for Jack's superior specialness.
And that could include leading the Others in some way, for John.
In fact...I'm beginning to think, with everyone in the 1970's, maybe that 'war' that Widmore was talking about was IN the past. Maybe...Widmore wants them to fight in a war betwen the Others and Dharma. One that already happened.
Maybe the Losties have been placed where they are in time in order to prevent the Purge?
It sounds sort of weird and I don't know how likely it is, but I like it.
Maybe they'll prevent Ben from rising to power--and maybe, Locke will take his place in the alternate timeline and lead the Others.
Maybe he was supposed to--maybe my other theory is wrong.
I don't know...random speculating. _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

I take it I'm the only one like really chuffed about Juliet & Sawyer. I hadn't read any spoilers but you could see them growing closer all the time. It hasn't been clumped together just cuz. They do make a good couple imo anyway.
Juliet is perfect for him, she knows how to handle him and is firm. Whereas Kate was too wishy washy and non-commital....that and I was an ardent Jack/Kate fan from episode one
TOTALLY agreed on more Sayid and Desmond. If only for eye candy reasons. *cough*
Poor Dan *huggles* _________________

thoughts on Amy’s baby - I was wondering what the possibilities are that that little baby boy could be Jacob. Hmm, after all Jacob supposedly lives in that cabin and Horace was building that cabin for his family… just a thought. And I’d be happier with that theory than with some of the other ones I’ve heard concerning Jacob. Lol
On Sawyer/Juliet - I still agree with what FM said. I MUCH preferred Sawyer with Juliet over him with Kate (as I think I’ve said) but still… doesn’t feel right. But have I mentioned how much I hate Kate? I WILL DIE if he goes back to her! Especially after the way she looked at him when she came back… it’s sickening. 
On all the speculating - I think my brain is fried. I just cannot grasp all this time traveling for some reason. Lol I mean, I can… but when it comes to changing the past so that when they come to the Island it’s really all different but their past isn’t… I dunno. I mean, preventing the purge? Locke becoming leader and Ben becoming who-knows-what? Wouldn’t that change their whole fates when they arrive at the Island? And then wouldn’t that make them change in the moment that they are in if their pasts are different?
Personally, I firmly believe Locke, Ben, Sun and Frank are in a different time from Jack, Kate, Sawyer ect.
Also I have a theory to put forth... what if Richard is like the Island impersonated? Just a thought...

Yay! Thank you for believing in Ben too, Taur!

Yeah, that Richard being the Island impersonated thing has crossed my mind too PD. Like... the island incarnate. Wouldn't that be weird and pretty freakin' awesome? I can just see the slogan now...
"The Island wears Eyeliner."
But yeah, it's totally possible.
On the other hand, I don't think that changing the fate of the island is going to happen... preventing the purge and all that. What is it that Dan keeps saying about things being "set"? Unchangeable? Like Charlotte's death... or for that matter (looking back a couple of seasons) Charlie's death. Of course, Dan could be wrong, but I highly doubt it. Him and Ms Hawking seem to know their island stuff.
Speaking of... remember the flashback where they tell Dan to leave the island? So was that in... the time that we are in now? I'm assuming that's when it happened. I'm a little suspicious. Why wasn't Dan mentioned in the last episode, when all the other Losties (plus Miles) were?
He didn't die. I refuse to believe that. So maybe they made him leave the island?
Rin, yeah, I think you're right about Jack being the more special one. It makes sense. He IS our hero after all. And I like the idea of Jack being really special too. _________________ <center>

I always thought of Jacob as the island impersonated, even though we haven't seen him. And I'm pretty sure Richard answers to Jacob, which wouldn't make as much sense, to me, anyway, if Richard were the island.
I am so behind the Juliet/Sawyer match. I just love the way she handles him, with her calm "James, stop." and then he does. And anyway I always thought Kate belonged with Jack and Kate and Sawyer were just a flurry of hormones. In fact, it annoys me that the writers are turning it into a "true love's destiny" sort of thing. 
Calloniel (PD) wrote: Yay! Thank you for believing in Ben too, Taur! I'm more cautiously optimistic about him, but yeah, I love Ben and I think he's trying to help the island. I also think he killed Locke because he knew he had to and not just for kicks.

I know, my heart goes out to Locke. It always breaks my heart when he gets disappointed about his specialness. He's obviously special to some extent, though, since the island resurrected him. _________________

FM, good, glad I’m not the only one who’s thought that. Hm. Haha, that’s great…. It would be very interesting. And a good twist.
I wouldn’t doubt Dan. He’s too smart to be doubted.
Hmmm, maybe Dan left the Island voluntarily? I dunno, but I did wonder what had happened to him. perhaps they just didn’t show him?
Taur, I think Ben is trying to help the island too. And even if he’s not, I still support him. aye, I think so too. I can’t see Ben killing just for kicks… he always has some sort of purpose. Even when he killed Keamy. agreed.
Anyway, I found some new things about season 5's finale (and more) out… I dunno if you guys have found them yet or not. You probably have though.
I read this (as a part of a full article on Lost-Media) today:
“…the ink is barely dry on the finale script and it’s at least a week from being filmed…”
Whoa, I bet it will be epic!
And more (in the same article)
“…There is talk, however, that the season-ender will (SPOILER ALERT) culminate with “the incident” referred to by Marvin Candle in the first orientation video…”
That definitely sounds epic.
And here’s a few random little things. The titles for the upcoming episodes:
8 Mar 09 - Namaste
25 Mar 09 - He's Our You
1 Apr 09 - Whatever Happened, Happened
8 Apr 09 - Dead is Dead
15 Apr 09 - Some Like It Hoth
22 Apr 09 - The Variable
ALSO
LOST got quite a few nominations for the Saturn Awards. (never heard of them? Neither have I but it's still awesome that LOST got the most nominations of any tv show!)
BEST NETWORK TELEVISION SERIES: LOST.
BEST ACTOR: Matthew Fox
BEST ACTRESS: Evangeline Lilly

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Elizabeth Mitchell & Yunjin Kim

that's all.

'K... so sorry for double posting but this huge spoiler just came out!
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_w ... oming.html
ok, so major sadness comes with that! I wonder who it will be and I'm really upset that Kate is the only one who it WON'T be. Ugh! Seriously, I do think it's come down to Dan, Sayid or possibly Juliet who will die. and I am really afraid that it's gonna be Sayid and I'm gonna cry. Am I the only one who thinks it's cruel to kill off a character RIGHT before the last, awesome season? The LOST Writers just aren't happy unless they're killing someone.
ANYWAY, this last episode was really quite amazing. Not my fave from the season probably, but it was cool. and I LOVED seeing more of the young Ben Linus.  that was awesome. Though Kate made me sick in this episode. 
Here's some more thoughts:
Sawyer being leader ect & his talk with Jack - LOVED! That was so great. Definitely one of the best moments in the show. I really like how Sawyer has changed so much since season 1. He is great.
The baby being Ethan - I admit, I was a little disheartened by that. I had thought the baby would be so much more.
Sun pulling a total Ben Linus - awesome.
regarding Dan - awww... he's not with them anymore? What does that mean? What happened to the dear?
Sayid finally being back - yippee! It's just too bad that he had to come back RIGHT after that sub landed so Sawyer and Juliet couldn't work him into the manifest too. I wonder how Sawyer will fix that. poor Sayid.
Deserted Dharma-ville and Christian's appearence... again - one of the creepiest parts of the show. but cool. I can't wait to see what Frank and Sun will have to go through to get back to the '70s.
Ben - (yes, I do have to randomly add something in about him. ) he was great... though a little creepy when he appeared behind Sun. But I wuved him. Always knew he wasn't REALLY injured in that crash.
Also, I had forgotten about Ben having them build the runway in.... season 3 was it? Either way, that's cool. Ben knows SO much more then he is letting on.
