Lost: Season 3 (Spoilers)

[Nasser22]

How and why? Didn't Ben say he answered to him and didn't he seem scared of Jacob?

 

[Joe Mama]

Evangeline Lilly was on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night. I recorded it and have been watching it while I work this evening.

She was talking about the last couple episodes and said that it does not let up in its intensity. It just keeps pounding forward. Okay, that's cool and all, but here's what she said about the finale.

She said there is a reveal at the end that is just incredible. She said that she doesn't even watch TV and probably wouldn't watch the show if she was on it. When she was told about this reveal at the end of the finale she got goosebumps.

I hope to God the Phoenix Suns aren't playing two weeks from yesterday. I mean I hope they are still in the playoffs, but I hope they aren't playing a game Wednesday, May 23.

If so, I may have to record the game and watch it later.

Joe

Record the Suns to watch Lost? :-/ There's a perfectly fine quality video player on ABC.com to see it on right after the game. And you know that hoping your team doesn't play on a particular day so it fits your schedule is the ultimate jinx right?

 

[D-Dogg]

That's enough. You've had your fun.

Assuming Ben can really talk with Jacob, why would he talk like this to him? It can be seen in three ways that come to my mind...one...as if talking to a child. Two, as if talking to a rowdy but good friend. Three, talking down an alcoholic father...I only add this last one because I've witnessed this very similar conversation pattern with relatives....the ok, ok, you've had your say and we hear you...let's move on...combined with some wild violence, and because Ben's dad not only could throw the ball over them mountains, but was an alcoholic with emotional issues.

Just throwing mud on the wall here...take it as it is. I just found it very interesting that Ben would talk to the great Jacob in the manner he did in that quote (if he actually was speaking with him.)

 

[FischerKing]

Your #2 doesn't make any sense, since Ben was having a conversation with Jacob before Locke went to leave.

it does if he was faking it. it would be more unsettling for ben if he had been able to speak with jacob in the past and is not able to do so now, and then Locke comes along and communicate with jacob.

You're making some pretty big leaps here. Sure, Ben is super-manipulative and not what he seems. But it's one thing to take this huge leap and another to assume that Michael and Walt left the island.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

When Batmanuel finds Ben as a child in the jungle he seems taken aback that he's seen his dead mother. He seems to think he's "special," ...reminiscent of how they're treating Locke.

I think those that can see/communicate with the dead are important to the Natives because of their ability to communicate with Jacob (who I suspect is/was the patriarch of the Black rock ship). They thought Ben was their guy, but they're coming to the conclusion that he's not--Locke is.

?

And that is also why they wanted Walt...

Watching the Lost preview for Wednesday I noticed a quick shot of a couple Losties on the beach--it was extremely fast, but I could have sworn I saw Rose in the shot. Anybody have it on TIVO and is able to tell?

I saw the preview but didn't pay very close attention. I can tell you that she will definitely be in Wednesday's episode and the finale. Apparently the actress (L. Scott Caldwell) had some other role and wasn't able to appear early for most of the season. Bernard is going to be back too.

 

[FischerKing]

that is great news - i've missed those two characters.

Some very interesting tidbits and theories...

Question: Has Richard conversed with anyone except Locke? Maybe there is a little Sixth Sense action going on.

Juliette, Ethan and Ben...and that's just off the top of my head.

Also, he was the one with the satellite feed and video camera on Juliette's nephew.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Those are definitely two of the best X-Files episodes.

Any ideas on the black powdery substance surrounding Jacob's shack?

Spoiler

I don't buy into the idea that Ben shot Locke because he heard Jacobs speak, and Ben never had. Instead I think that Ben does not want to "share" the ability to see/hear Jacob with Locke. Perhaps he realizes that many of the others are looking for somebody else to lead them.

As soon as I saw that black powder, I wondered if that was the stuff that produced the black smoke cloud.

Hello Nadia.

 

[Cheesebeef]

claire is just so damn hot!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Charlie's the man. this is a GREAT show, even for someone who just watches it in bits and pieces.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I was getting teary-eyed for Charlie towards the end...shocking ending, but the show sets it up for next week, which looks spectacular.

 

[Russ Smith]

So is it still safe to assume Juliette is lying since she appears to have lied to Charlie about the underwater hatch?

That was really great backwriting last night all that buildup for months getting us to really dislike Charlie, they then manage in one show to show you all the good things about him and his life before he's "going to die brutha".

So tonight's special is presumably just a catch us up to how we got here kind of special?

 

[Mike Olbinski]

We don't know Juliette lied...she was told the hatch was flooded. Ben could have lied, I wouldn't put it past him

 

[FischerKing]

agreed.

can't wait until next weeks finale...oh boy, oh boy, oh boy

I thought tonight's episode was sort of a let-down after the break-neck pace it's been going at the last few weeks.

I liked the development of Charlie--was their a common thread through his top 5 moments? At first I thought it was liquid--the rain and the booze that they made a point of showing them guzzling, but that didn't maintain through the last one.

Also, why not cut the cable instead of sending someone on a suicide mission into the Looking Glass?

Lastly, Desmond is always so worried that things have to happen just so so that his visions come true, but then he also knows everything is inevitable. So, why not just let things happen as they will? What made me think of this is that I think he was manipulating Charlie to get him to go to the Looking Glass---I think he knew he'd run into some Others down there.

one of the people i watch the show with regularly made the same comment about "cutting the cable" - but who is to say that cutting the cable would fix the issue? if you don't know what the purpose of the cable is, cutting it probably isn't going to do much for you.

about charlie's top 5 - i do think there is a connection between all of them - i was trying to figure out what it is.

not a let-down for me - loved last nights episode. not one of my favorites - but quite on par with the majority of the rest of the show.

Sayid, while looking at the schematics, said that hatch was powered by the cable.
