Anyone else excited about this starting up soon?

I'm guessing that The Oceanic 6 are going to go back to the island.

Well Charlotte Lewis is apprently a reference to CS Lewis who wrote Narnia... (There was another Narnia reference when they went to see Elouise in the Church a few episodes ago and she showed them the big swinging pendant thingy and map and said they called this place 'the lampost')

i've read the synopsis of the next episode on the lostpedia site, don't read it if you don't like spoilers. can't wait till sunday!

but where has daniel disappeared to?

PlumBumMum · 27/03/2009 12:25

Okay so I'm confused how are they all going to crash on to island in the future if they are already on island???

Something must start happening to the women, as the others stole Claire to give her the injections so she wouldn't die??

And also Ben was broguth over to the others by Richard, and it was Ben who gassed the place so have the writers forgot this and suddenly have him sneeking Ethan to the others??
I will leave it there or I'll give myself a nose bleed

So - Daniel Dae Kim is starring in 'The King and I' at the Albert Hall in June. Kind of want to go.

I could shout out "Sun is trying to find you!" during 'Shall We Dance?' perhaps.

SweetEm · 29/03/2009 14:18

If I was Kate, Jack, Hurley, etc, I'd be pretty pissed off that John Locke told me terrible things had happened to the ones they left behind only to find them all happily living in the Dharma initiative!

lucykate · 29/03/2009 22:18

i am really confused about where the storyline is going now after tonights episode.

littlelamb · 29/03/2009 22:20

I can't believe Sayid shot Ben! For a moment I thought it was going to be like when Michael kept trying to off himself, and the trigger just wouldn't have worked, so am There is no way it's going to be that straightforward though, otherwise why would we have had all the stuff with Desmond and Mrs Hawking, trying to 'course correct' everything? Unless that is the course corrected version?!

MintChocAddict · 29/03/2009 23:09

at Sayid!
Anyone else think adult Ben's tumour that Jack removed a few series ago, will be in the same place that the bullet lodged?
It's all just too confusing.

PatTheHammer · 30/03/2009 09:57

Great idea MintChoc! There is know way Ben will be dead, otherwise I will truly not understand ANY of it

PatTheHammer · 30/03/2009 09:58

Ooops, meant no way! Blame that hours sleep

PlumBumMum · 30/03/2009 10:38

Yeap I kept waiting from him to get up and freak Sayid out, Trying to think back did jack remove a bullet from Sayids tumour?? good thinking Mintchoc

Merrylegs · 30/03/2009 11:53

But but wasn't Ben's tumour on his spine? And Sayid shot him in the chest so not sure how that pans out?

Perhaps Juliet saves young Ben's life (not Jack, as he is just a lowly workman and so would arouse suspicion, but Juliet is more trusted and has delivered a baby - Ethan).

That would explain why later as adults, Ben is so obsessed with Juliet?

Also bit disappointed with Sayid. I thought he could have really exploited his relationship with the young Ben - used the fact that Ben was trusting of and admired him to get inside his head a bit and put some theories to him that might alter Ben's mind in the future?

Instead he just shoots him.

What a waste!

The writers have before shown us a thinking, intelligent side of Sayid, so a bit of a cop out to have him shooting Ben here, dontcha think?

PlumBumMum · 30/03/2009 12:32

Yeap Merry I thought Sayid would use Ben abit more

MitchyInge · 30/03/2009 12:35

it's yet another episode that's left me feeling really annoyed with myself for getting drawn in, and being so easily confused and so desperate for next week

arrrghh am such a sucker, I love LOST and I hate it too

giantkatestacks · 30/03/2009 12:47

Know what you mean MI - it makes my head hurt. And am also a bit sceptical about the effect on the future thing - are the Oceanic 6 and the rest of them going to affect the future or not...I hate time travel storylines in anything its just too much confusion.

And where the feck has daniel gone? and why havent they noticed the great big plane crash on the other island?

MitchyInge · 30/03/2009 12:50

maybe the other island is in the future though?

I just assumed they were 30 years ahead over there?

giantkatestacks · 30/03/2009 12:56

arrgh [head explodes] but then they would have crashed at the same time as the other plane wouldnt they?

littlelamb · 30/03/2009 12:58

The other island is definately in the future (well, the present), because of the abandoned hut where Sun met Christian, it was the same building where thet were inducting the new recruits.

PlumBumMum · 30/03/2009 12:59

Yeap other island is in the future, but its starting to annoy me as the stuff on the other island was different to how the oceanic 6 left it, the dharma houses,
so obviously they do have an effect on future I hopethe writers have a good ending to this!

I think we are going to end up liking Charles as so far he hasn't told any lies, and Ben I've lost track of his lies!

giantkatestacks · 30/03/2009 13:02

so [makes massive effort] the future has been changed because of them going back and thats why a different plane has crashed instead of theirs?

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 30/03/2009 13:08

So if the young Ben has met Sayid, Sawyer, Jack, Kate, etc why is there no hint of recognition when he meets them in 2006? Why is he so mean to them and locks them up in a cage?

OP posts:
giantkatestacks · 30/03/2009 13:09

because thats the other future (where Ben knows them - this future if you like)...have I got that right?

giantkatestacks · 30/03/2009 13:10

No hold on that doesnt work if Jin taught charlotte korean...

MitchyInge · 30/03/2009 13:11

weeps with frustration

littlelamb · 30/03/2009 13:18

No. I think, if we are safely assuming Ben doesn't die, he will always have been shot by Sayid, but because Sayid is following his own timeline iyswim he didn't know he'd done it in the past because he's only just done it. Aaarrrghhhhhhhhhhhh
I know what I mean.
But something must have changed for that building to still have Dharma insignia all over it. it looks like it has just been abandoned by Dharma rather than destroyed by others iyswim. I think in the next few weeks we will see how Ben changes sides (and Ethan for that matter) and the result that that has on everything.
