Anyone know of a myth that would fit -- rival dieties/immortals battling over a hidden earthly paradise using mortal pawns?

Oh dear.

The scene with the execution of Alex was very powerful, IMO.

I heard that Alex is, er, was supposed to be sixteen too. Killing off Rousseau, Carl and Alex really tightens up the plot, but like Guynemer, I was really hankering for a Rousseau flashback.

Ben is my favourite character now, even if he's going to end up against my other favourite character, Desmond.

The writers are a wily bunch, making me adore the Desmond and Penny love story, then making me cheer Ben for his badassitude and mourn for his loss, and then Ben ends up wanting to kill Penny for revenge. Bastards!

C'est la vie!

I think of Ben and Whimore as rival gang lords. Evidently at one time Ben worked for Whidmore. Wouldn't it be possible to use the island's time warping property to cheat on the stock market, etc.?

[Guynemer]

The implication is that Widmore was somehow in control of the Dharma Initiative. Perhaps Hanso is simply an alterego of his.

What is still utterly baffling is just who the Others are. Where did they come from? Why were they and Dharma at war? Where did they get their weapons and equipment? Why did they need Ben?

That episode seemed to confirm the fact that Dharma was working on some sort of teleportation/wormhole technology. Perhaps it is unpredictable, and that is why Ben ended up in Tunisia in a parka--he was expecting to teleport to colder climes.

It looked like he was shivering when he arrived in Tunisia, it also looked it like you could see his breath, like on a cold day. Maybe he came from somewhere cold instead of expecting to arrive someplace cold.

excellent episode!

one question: are we out of nameless survivors to kill now? e.g. three were killed in the attack for ben
are there any left on the beach?

[Felch]

I think most of the redshirts went with Jack.

Anybody have any comments on this?

Time travel theory for Lost

Dad?

mostly a filler episode, not much happening...

[asleepathewheel]

boring episode.

the appendicitis storyline was pointless for now, hopefully they won't forget about it for at least a few days lost-time.

up until I had mine removed in 2003, I was concerned I would find myself on a deserted island and be stricken.

[MarkG]

but you now know that even on a deserted island you can still have your appendicitis removed

Poor Jack he has always loved Kate, but she has never returned the favor

Anybody else find it weird that Jack was vehement about staying awake and watching his surgery. I think Juliet is still working for Ben or maybe the people on the boat.

I enjoyed that episode.

I think it's totally in character for Jack. He's a bit of a control freak, and watching the surgery was his way of keeping some control over the situation.

Pretty weak IMO. Episodes like this Lost tries just to be a drama, and that's not what it does best. Lost is best at having several surprises throughout an episode and a bigger surprise at the end - something this ep quite lacked aside from Christian's strange appearance to Claire.

Charlotte also annoys me a lot.

Nice link Felch, it seems to make sense in a ****ed up LOST kinda way.
