I like your line of thinking there. Spoilers regarding S05E11 "What Happened, Happened" Kinda average episode, i suppose what happened on the island was pretty interesting (especialy Richard taking young Linus to the Temple to be "healed". But his warning befor that was pretty interesting, he's "one of them" now.
But the thing about this episode was, everything seemed to just go the way i expected. It was just kinda boring, and it dosent help that it was a Kate centric episode. I don't think i've liked any of her Flashes since the first Season. I don't like her character at all really, she's annoying and often her decisions just shit me. I mean, she told the Truth about the Island to 2 people. I expected that from Hurley (who didn't to our knowledge).
Next week episode looks promising, story will hopefully be primarily based with the survivors of 316, Ben centric. Might find out what happened at the docks.

Whatever happened, happened.... What do you know? A kate episode I didnt hate! Also feel bad for assuming that the reason she went back was for Sawyer....turns out it wasnt! She went for Claire! Yeah bit of a ho-hum ep but really not that bad. With regards to Mr Alperts warning.... Im now thinking that Ben proclamation of being "born on this island" (season 3...Not In Portland I think)as true. And now wonder if Ben IS the 'good guy', or has NO control over his actions and everything he does is for the benefit of the island, not him. Its all about the Benjamins for me, so next weeks is going to be EPIC (IMO). So far Im loving this season, I think watching them in one go come the end will reveal a few secrets or things Ive missed that my girlfriend will just LOVE pointing out. Depending on how it plays out, Hurley and Miles should get way more screen time together. Comedy gold, nearly as good as the Spike/Angel season 5 bits. Ok, I think we should have a think about what has gone before, and whats coming next. Or at least scam a timeline :-\ HEAD BURST IMMINENT! EDIT Just read that there is another break coming, but instead of a reapet we get a clip show "The Story of the Oceanic Six" which is nice. Hope this is to do with hyping up episode 100, which is the following episode.

Season 05 Episode 12 "Dead is Dead" first things first. F'ing yeah. Des, Pen and lil Charlie are alright. Well Desmond has a bullet in his shoulder, but he showed he can still use his arm alright. There was some suspence ruined in the scene with Ben asking Sun to say sorry to Desmond, But i suppose we always knew desmond wouldn't die there. but it does bring the question of how they get back. Will desmond be wanting revenge, for what was still a attempt on his family?
Ben's Judging seemed a little over the top. Being surrounded by the smoke. i kind of wish it was a bit more like when Eko encountered it. It seemed like the monster had a face then, and a body. with the memories clickering across it. it was more effective then. But when it turned into Alex, that was cool.
Ben mentioned the whispers, if you hear them, run the other way. I remember hearing that they were originaly meant to be the others. But i'm not sure if it is that anymore. the warning seemed out of character for linus, but then again, he was young.
Cesar was killed off quicker then expected. If he's dead. No reason he shouldn't be though. Curious about the other survivors of '316', Illana with the guns, 'what lays in the shadow of the statue?'. Could they be exiled Natives? what if almost everyone on the plane was once on the island?
Bens afraid of John, or maybe what John is now. like he said, Dead is Dead. You don't come back from that. So that leads to an obvious question, is he a little on the smokey side? But if thats the case, and John goes about leading the others, that would be the Island leading the island. Dosent seem likely. So maybe John has to go back at some point, back in time to Dharam-town. Be the only explination i can come up with.

Dead is Dead Yeah, lots of good stuff this week. When I saw the 'Ben gets judged by the monster' thing I was so sure he killed at least Penny. But Im not sure I trust this new John Locke, but at the same time not sure I like the new Jack Locke character, not in a putting me off the show kind of way, its just creeping me out a bit. The fact he didnt help Ben as child caused Ben to go to the Others and become one of them and the eventual leader was pretty sweet though. Best scene this week? Ben and Ceaser where he "has his back" made me chuckle, just looking at bens face you knew he was up to something and wanted his shotgun back :-) Is there anything else we need to know about Widmore now? As we now know how and why he was exiled. Top marks to the guy who played the Widmore that spoke to young Ben too. Did you notice on the what was illustrated on the wall above smokeys grate? To me it looks like smokey had himself a ruck with the four toed one, or whoever represented the four toed one, whoever that may be. Roll on episode 99..... I swear Im going to explode with exitement when 100 comes around. Is there anything else??...Oh yeah, WHAT LIES IN THE SHADOW OF THE STATUE?!?!

Well, I'm pretty sure that the four toed statue is supposed to be Anubis, and those engravings over the black smoke's vent are definately of Anubis.
I have a feeling those other people on the plane are working for Widmore.

Season 05 episode 13 "Some like it Hoth" Dan's back !!!...
That is all .
No... we'll more comments a-comming. Miles flashbacks were good, interesting to see how he first 'communicated' with the dead. I like how there playing it out, dislike how Hurleys all 'i can talk to dead people to, and play chess with them!', i'm not sure his 100% with it. Sure we KNOW he was in a mental institution for having a imaginary friend, we also known the Islands used the islands Dead as a way of communications befor, but back when Sayid sprung him from the center, Sayid couldn't see 'Eko'. So how reliable does that make his people?
Also interesting to see that guy from the plane asking about 'What lies in the Shadow of the Statue?'. Trying to talk him out of going. Seems there not Widmores people, could they be Bens? or another faction again. I think i've though befor that there might be more then two sides to the upcoming 'war', but we might see some unlikely alliances struck leading upto it. Hopefully we see some payoff on that storyline this season.
100th episode in 2 weeks, said to be Dan centric too. Next week however, we get another recap episode.

Some Like it Hoth Guy from the plane is Bram, and I think this is a third faction. How they knew of 316 being island bound I have no idea. And yes, Dan 'The MAN' Faraday is back. Looking somewhat sharprer than ever. I think Miles can talk to dead people, Hurley merely communicates with manifestations from the island. Again, dont ask me how lol Miles and Faraday were my favorite Freighter folk, and was quite surprised when it was revealed that Pierre Chang is his father. Which now begs the question was it Faraday in the comic con video? Or was it Miles trying to change the future? Do we finally have an answer to who set up the fake plane? My attention wandered a bit there and I kind of missed it. Jack and Sawyer, Kate and Juliet..... Not sure whats going to happen here but I think the love story angle is done. And as I read somewhere else, was a red shirt the wisest of wardrobe choices the week before the 100th ep? Hurleys 'Empire' speech was great, and the building of 'the hatch', including the numbers :-) Makes yourealise how much the series has changed, and the directions the storys have gone in, I now have no clue whats going to happen next. Ahhh, episode 100, just lookin at the promo photos has my brain firing on all cylinders.

Season 5, Episode 15 "The Variable"
God Damn it Dan. As soon as you picked up the gun, i had a feeling this was going to happen. Its kind of tragic, one of the better Lost deaths i think. when you consider everything thats going on through out the episode. He was Sacrafised by his mother, probably because of her belief in Destiny/Fate. Its similar to Charlies death really, just not as powerful.
Dan's revelation about the Variables in the time equation bothered me a bit initialy. It don't think it really changes his "what happened, happened" bussiness, based on the end of the episode, but initialy i didn't like it. He might have it wroung though, since befor Dan said that Desmond is special, I think he might be the only one capable of truly changing the past.
His plan to detonate the Hydrogen Bomb on the Swan Station is interesting, and considering jacks current state we migth just see him see the plan through. But will it be enough to actually seal off the energy and prevent the Oceanic Airlines crash? More importantly, if it does, what will happen to Desmond? will he end up on the island still, if he does, i doubt he'll make it back to Penny. But then again, he might be the Variable in all of this.
Desmond is still alive, didn't think his injury was that serious at first. Must have gotten bad. He's hardly been in this season, little dissapointing. Though we only have 3 episodes left (and thats 3 weeks left too, we have a Richard centric episode next week in "Follow the Leader", a island Recap episode is meant to follow befor the 2 episode Final), i'm expecting him to be a bigger player in the end events.

The Variable A bit of a bummer Dan died, I always thought his character was pretty interesting. He was definitely my favorite freighter character.
A Richard episode sounds like it has the potential to be really cool. I wonder just how far his flashbacks will go?

just had a theory regarding Richard. not sure how well it hold up together though. So i was thinking today about something i read on another forum. Where people were talking about what would happen if Jack and Co some how manage to detonate the Hydrogen Bomb down at the soon to be Swan. Since if Daniel is correct, it would mean that 815 lands safely in LA. I started thinking what happens to the Surivors that are living in the 70's. They'ed shouldn't exsist there anymore, since there 'fate' was changed. But then, the writers arn't going to pull and Back to the Future and have them just fade away into non-exsistance. Cause then the bomb would never have been detonated. So, what if changing the future/present/past does something to you? Could that be a path to becoming ageless/immortal? Immortal is probably too strong a word really. I don't think Richard can't die, that would be a bit weird even for lost.
alright, this makes less sence on here then it did in my head. I'm going back there.

Like the thing where the fortune teller told Claire that it is incredibly important that SHE is raising the baby. It seems like that little storyline got dropped, after all Kate is raising Aaron now and it seems like there are no problems. And the thing with Walt and his special powers. Why did the others want him so bad back then, and what did they do to him when they had him captured for a while? Where are the two kids that were on flight 815 and were taken by the others? You never saw them again. And Libby, they showed her selling the boat to Desmond, as well as her being in the same mental institute as Hurley after he won the lottery. Is there nothing more to it? Yeah, I've wondered all those things as well. More questions I have (might be spoilers for some, I'm not really sure): Cuse and Lindeloff said we'd find out how many toes Richard has "very soon" (as fans are wondering about his connection to the four-toed statue). That was said before the start of this season. By "very soon", are they using Biblical time or something? And are they ever going to tell us how old the guy is? Where are Bernard and Rose? What have the Others been doing during the three years after Ben turned the wheel and left the island until he and the Oceanic 6 come back on the plane? The Barracks seem to have been completely abandoned. With the threat of Widmore's people gone, why didn't the Others return to the Barracks? Where is Claire? What, exactly, is Smokey? Is it a living being? A relief in the temple showed an image of what appeared to be Smokey with an Egyptian god, perhaps Anubis. I doubt that was shown for nothing. They are going to have a LOT of questions to answer next season. I thought this season was supposed to begin wrapping everything up, but I feel like we've gotten even more questions so far.

Season Finale (Don't know what it was called) Well, we met Jacob and killed Jacob. Totally was surprised by Locke really being dead, and I don't really know who this new guy is. Perhaps it's the same person pretending to be the dead Christian?
Also, when Jacob said "They're coming" I assume he meant the characters stuck in the '70s. I bet that bomb just blasted them right back into modern time. And now we know how Dr. Chang hurt his hand (as seen in some of the orientation vids).
I'm still not sure who Ilana and her group are working for, though, as the others didn't seem to recognize them.
Finally, we also found out what Bernard and Rose have been up to.

The Incident Parts 1&2 Best season finale ever.....ever. @ Judas - I think its pretty obvious that the guy in the black shirt at the start was the 'new' Locke as Jacob referenced the loophole mentioned at the start of the episode wheb Ben and Locke found him. But I agree that it was indeed the same being that looks like Christian. Not sure if it is the smoke monster though, smokey could just work for him.
Remember how Christian told Locke it was supposed to be HIM who turned the wheel? I think he has been manipulating events since god knows when now.
Ilana and Bram have are working for Jacob too, thats for sure, but how they knew of Ajira 316 is still a mystery, though I rthink next season we will see whats happened to her to land her in hospital.
Best line of the episode? Rose "Awwww hell no" and "BARK BARK BARK" Never has a single sequence made me that happy. I think its getting safe to assume that Rose and Bernard are the skeletons in the cave....but who knows.
I think Sayid is done for sadly, but Jack avenged him by going batshit insane, and Sawyer holding on to Juliet till the end was pretty heartbreaking too. God damn thats the best 2 hours of TV I have seen in a long time.
I thought the flasbacks were neat too. Im sticking with Hurley being the key to everything, Hurley will make everything better.

^ best season final ? i was let down by some aspects of it myself. After that initial flashback (that was the approching blackrock wasn't it?) with Jacob and Blackshirt, i was almost certain Locke wasn't Locke. Blackshirt has to have some connection to Smokey (If he is indeed the Black Smoke himself or perhaps the smokes leader.). Still, Not-Locke helps make sence of alot of things that have happened this season. makes me wonder if Terry Quinn will be back next season.
I saw it brough up somewhere else a reference to Lockes first encounter with 'the monster'. He mentioned it being something glorious and white. What if theres two of them? A white one (Jacob) and a black one (Blackshirt). a Yin and Yang?
Jacobs reveal was a little disspointing. We didn't really learn much about him, except he has a connection to all the remaining 815 survivors. I'm curious as to why Sayid and Hugo didn't have contact untill after they returned. Did jacob or the island mis-judge there usefulness? Maybe there presence this time around is whats helping to change things. Sayid was the one able to alter the Hydrogen Bomb.
Rose, Bernard and Vincents return, Possibly the highlight of the epiosde for me. They've always helped to ground the story, but i feat this is our goodbye. The Sawyer Juliet moments were great to, all season infact. Miles being the one to ask if Jacks bomb might cause the incident, not prevent it. I wasn't sure if everyone was taken by suprise by the idea, or they just didn't want to dwell on the possibility.
No desmond though. I hope he plays a bigger role in the next season. Speaking of the next season, anyone else get the feeling any promotional material, previews, posters, slightest bit of casting details will be a huge spoiler for the final season? December January are going to be tough next year, avoiding that kinda material.
