Lost Season 4, Ep 3

I don't know if the bracelets were "friendship" but maybe the women who worked for that company all had them....
 
If you remember when Michael? and Walt left the island, Ben told them they had to stay on the exact coordinated he gave them. Maybe the magnetic field only has 1 degree out of 360 that allows passage.

Also, Jack asked Hurley if he said anything. I wonder if they're keeping the location of the island secret due to its powers and the friends that stayed?
 
Ben had all of those passports....I don't think his being off the island is any big deal...now, the sub is no longer there, so that might have been his shuttle and probably was. Somehow he gets back off the island, but he knows the coordinates in how to get to and from the place...he might be the only person other than those in the outside world, that know where it is...which makes him a target for whomever. I don't think he will be one of the O6.

I think that the forces that are interested in the island want the O6 killed later in the show, so that they cannot talk more about their stories, and so they cannot get back.

There appears to be some sort of time portal or time suspension going on on the island as well.

The episodes this year have been phenomenal thus far...as good as they have ever been...and all of the sudden at the midway point of the year, we are seeing flash forwards, as opposed to flash backs...that is pretty sweet.

At which point are folks going to start coming back to life...if you die on the island, are you really dead? What about the spiders that caused the brother and sister to lie dormant, and be buried alive...could Nadia have been bitten by those, and not really dead?

I know, some whacked out stuff....

Sayid capped that golfer because he was on a list...and once he found out who Sayid was, he knew he was in trouble. it was also interesting when Sayid told Ben on island time, that he would never trust him.



Jon, I don't think Ben would be apart of the O6 anyways because he was never on the flight. So there are still two more yet to be revealed.
 
So I heard a theory that was kinda cool. Claire will die, Kate will take Claires identity back in the real world and raise the baby on her own. That would be the "he" she told Jack she had to get back to in the flash forwards.

That's a good therory. I can't see Lost 'killing' Claire's baby, so either he is still on the island in the future or he is with one of the Oceanic 6 back in the real world.

That's an interesting theory. If I remember right, Claire's mother died in a car accident, so she wouldn't be able to dispute Kate's identity. But what about Claire's ex-boyfriend/Baby Daddy? If the Oceanic 6 are truly the celebrities they seem to be, "Claire" would be all over the international news. Also, Sayid eluded to a big settlement so I would think that Aaron's biological father would want a cut.

On a side note, does anybody remember there ever being a show that generated as much speculation/theorizing/rumor-mongering as Lost has?

If there would have been message boards back in the day, I think the summer wait of 'Who Shot JR' would have been pretty big. But nothing this long...The Fugitive?

The storyline and the arc of the storyline is unparalleled, IMO
 
X-Files created a lot of discussion. But that series had many 'filler' episodes. LOST is simply brilliant.
 
LOST is great, but honestly, I hate it when shows become too popular, because it seems like the writers then write to a broader audience and the network hypes it stupidly instead of sticking with the art form that made it popular. LOST hasn't had this problem too much...yet :).

I don't think it will. The producers and ABC have an end date which means that the writers can stay focused on pushing the story line ahead. Prior to that, the writers were inserting water treading episodes (See Nikki & Paulo from last season) which were alienating casual and hardcore fans alike. I read a quote from Damon Lindleof recently that effectively said that prior to a hard end date, they were taking the foot off the story "accelerator" but now they have the pedal to the metal. He went on to say that they will be doing 13 episodes instead of 16 this season because of the strike and that the new episodes will really ramp up the storyline because they've condensed 8 episodes into 5.
 
I refuse to read any of this thread because I'm only on season 2 of the DVD's and i've been DVRing season 4. But I do wanna read.....really, really bad.
 
I did that after season 1. I bought the DVDs in August thinking I would take my time to watch them before Season 2 started, but I ended up watching the whole thing in like 4 days. I've been hooked ever since.

I'm waiting for more DVD's from Netflix. Tempted to up my subscription to 6 DVD's at a time so I can get more and can catch up quicker. And I will no longer read this thread anymore.

I'll apologize for the beginning of season 3 in advance... until about 6 episodes in, it's really quite the snoozer.

Last night's episode was great compared to last week! I love the direction that the season is going in now, because that reveal at the end of the episode blew my mind! I wonder what makes Ben so trustworthy (or whatever ace in the hole he's got that makes Sayid submit to Ben's orders?)

Also, it's safe to say that when Kate says "I have to go, he'll be waiting for me" in the last scene of the season 3 finale, she's now referring to Ben. (Assuming most of the Oceanic 6 are under his orders.) This also sheds light on Hurley's actions in the premiere, when he meets with Abaddon. He knows that he's probably part of the Dharma guys, and is under orders from Ben not to divulge any information to them about the island.

It's interesting that the island is in some sort of time dilation field. Pay close attention to whenever Faraday has a scene where he's talking about or experimenting with the island. His comment about "the light not quite bouncing right" last episode, and the payload experiment during this episode are slowly shedding light on what makes the island so special.
 
What if the Ben is somehow able to protect Nadia (Sayid's Girlfriend) but will only do so if Sayid does his bidding? It seems to me that would be one of the easiest ways to twist Sayid.

That's good to hear, and it has been good so far, other than torturing us by leaving tons of cliffhangers :biggrin:. Watching this on DVD later will be great, after the series is over and I can buy the whole box set.:wink:
 
Maybe the 6 are not supposed to talk to each other???? Don't you think that Hurley, Jack and Sayid would be more in touch than what they show in the flash forwards.
