Lost: Season Four

[Guynemer]

****!

God damn it, I wanted a Rousseau flashback at some point!

[Xorbon]

I wouldn't be surprised if Rousseau survives. She's a tough b*tch, and it wouldn't be the first time someone survived an apparent death on the island.

True, eye patch guy took forever to kill.

I thought this was a weak episode to end on. The back story with Micheal jumped around a lot and left a lot of plot holes open.

sooo,,,

april 24?

fantastic

[MarkG]

more ghosts, gay men, bombs that dont go boom, guns that dont explode, people who want to escape with a small boat in the middle of the pacific, snipers, this was a totally messed up episode!

[Dr Strangelove]

Michael is so screwed. All he wanted was another chance at fatherhood.

So what is the relationship between Charles Whidmore and Ben Linus? I wonder if they're actually fellow gangstas fighting over the remains of the Dharma Initiative.

[Guynemer]

I'm starting to wonder if some third party isn't playing Linus and Widmore off of one another.

[DrSpike]

I watched all 8 eps over the Easter Weekend - thought they were pretty good actually and better than I expected.

Most dangling threads have already been picked up here - but one that caught my eye was the question of who planted the plane and why. Widmore is apparently blaming Ben, and Ben is blaming Widmore.

It also seems quite a large coincidence (I know, I know, this is Lost) that Widmore is involved now as a potential villain (instead of just someone who hates Desmond). It might make more sense if Penny's search for Desmond (probably using Widmore's cash) threw up info about the island, which generated his interest as a businessman. Then the implication would be that Ben faked the 835 crash to keep people away from the island.

But I have a feeling it wont work out that way - it's too sensible.

My other pointless predictions:

1) The sixth man is Locke. Sawyer dies on the island saving Jack.

2) Dharma will be involved in the next segment. There are too many unanswered questions about their original interest in the island and what they were trying to do.

3) Whatever the island 'is' will be a blend of science and fantasy. There's some kind of anomaly there that Dharma were trying to exploit (as were the 'Others' there before) that causes many things, like the spontaneous healing etc. But also there'll be something that no one can explain with science.

[DrSpike]

Oh, and forgot to mention I think the flash forwards are somehow potential rather than 'real' futures. All the future stories seem to point to them being able to fix stuff (save more people) if they go back to the island.

4) The last season will be about this.

indeed. you need to take the sensible idea and then take the exact opposite

like:
"- so you want me to spy on them?" (michael asking about what he will do on the boat)
"- no, i want you to kill them"

1) The sixth man is Locke.

i think the official word is that the all six have been revealed so the sixth is Aaron (which many people agree it's kind of lame)

[MarkG]

btw i love the fact that 8 episodes into season 4 and the time passed on the island is about a week or so. time really is very slow on the island

with this pace it's not certain we'll see the O6 leaving the island by the end of the season

I like this theory. The future looks "bleak-ish", and I would like to see them be able to fix things.

This brings up a interesting question. Ben seems to be helping the Oceanic six(or at least Sayid), he should know how to get back to the island so why won't he tell Jack how to get back to the island. Did something happen to Sayid and Ben, in the future, or are Sayid and Jack enemies in the future? Ah, so many questions.

no he doesnt. he just uses sayid in exchange for not harming the other 5...

[flash9286]

He is helping sayid find the people that are trying to kill his friends. They seem to share a common enemy.
