YES!!!!!!!!!!! REPLACE JACOB the oceanic 6

# 9 March 2010 at 9:13 pm

6 Candidates = the oceanic 6. Not a coincidence I’m assuming

Anybody watch the enhanced Sundown. The last comment said “Kate is seeing ressurected Locke for the first time … and she knows he’s on the wrong side.”. I was surprised by that.

Did anyone count the crosses?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:16 pm

This can’t end well for Ben.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:17 pm

Timothy said:

Don’t kill him!!!!!!!

# 9 March 2010 at 9:17 pm

Will said:

I liked that comment about stalling

# 9 March 2010 at 9:17 pm

NaysWay said:

I know he killed Jacob, and I know he’s a pretty lousy person, but please don’t kill Ben. C’mon, man. Let him stick it out until the end.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:18 pm

Colleen (author) said:

Okay so here’s the (so far) question of the day: If the Island still existed in the Sideways, then what did we see under water in the season premiere and WTF does it mean?!

# 9 March 2010 at 9:18 pm

Jeremy in Mississippi said:

Makin him dig his own grave….I think I’m in love with Ilana

Ok as evil as Ben Linus is, he can’t die till the very last episode of Lost. I would miss Michael Emerson too much.

Was Ben’s name in the Lighthouse

# 9 March 2010 at 9:18 pm

noelle said:

there was a linus, it was crossed out though right?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:19 pm

mushand said:

I think the island is not there, we saw that in the beginning of the show. It’s like Alantis

# 9 March 2010 at 9:20 pm

Timothy said:

Yes, Benjamin Linus’ name was crossed out at the lighthouse.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:20 pm

Matt in Syracuse said:

@Colleen Perhaps in the sideways “the incident” still happened, and somehow roger and ben evacuated. Or Roger got sick and tired of being a work man and quit.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:20 pm

ManilaRaf said:

Colleen, the Island was underwater but we saw New Otherton, the playground, the Sonic Fence pylons, etc. So there had to have been a DHARMA on it at one time.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:21 pm

ChrisInBoston said:

“AT least he’s not stallin’” could be a paralell to “Stalin.” he led a revolution as well.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:21 pm

Jessica said:

Again…is this the “six”: Jack, Hugo, Sawyer, Kwan (?), Claire, and Kate?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:21 pm

Chris said:

Illana knows that John Locke is dead; however stated that there are now only 6 candidates left. Was she counting including someone else such as Kate?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:21 pm

Brian said:

Referring to the point of why it is morning, I imagine the walk from the temple to the beach is pretty long, plus isn’t time really screwed up on this island?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:21 pm

@Boston Dude she’s been hot to me since I saw her in that Maroon 5 video.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:23 pm

Whodini said:

Looks like the incident isn’t what sank the island. I’m thinking we’re in for some more time travel before the end.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:23 pm

ManilaRaf said:

@Boston Who’s hotter, her or Dirty Claire?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:23 pm

Richard can’t die! We haven’t had our Richard-centric episode yet

I KNEW IT! HURLEY WAS NOT SEEING JACOB! HE WAS SEEING MIB!!!!! I CALLED THAT!

Richard says not to trust Jacob. Richard wants to die. Wow!

Chris Outside of Philly said:

@ChrisinBoston.. perhaps he will age like Donovan in Last Crusade.. 400 years in seconds…

# 9 March 2010 at 9:28 pm

ODM said:

If he dies, his eyeliner is going to run!

# 9 March 2010 at 9:28 pm

Colleen (author) said:

I really think that Ben’s going to die and have Jacob inhabit his body so it’ll be Jacob/MIB as Ben/Locke.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:28 pm

NaysWay said:

@ChrisInBoston - Really? Why would MIB still need to shape shift? I mean, he’s pretty much killing everyone or bringing them to his side. Why not either kill Hurley and Jack or make them cross over to the dark side? Why spare them like this?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:29 pm

Stan said:

Interesting: don’t believe Jacob

# 9 March 2010 at 9:29 pm

Stefanie said:

@chrisinboston good call Locke (MIB) appearing as jacbob… wonder if that’s the case. I just wish richard would explain already…

# 9 March 2010 at 9:29 pm

Becky(SportingBecky) said:

Is that the ship from last yr that Jacob and Man in Black saw from the shore when Jacob was eating fish?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:29 pm

Jeremy in Mississippi said:

Guess Richard finally got tired of being Jacob’s errand boy

# 9 March 2010 at 9:29 pm

Will said:

I think Hurley is really seeing Jacob. I think Richard just feels betrayed or something

# 9 March 2010 at 9:30 pm

ManilaRaf said:

Sooooo, with that commercial. Would anyone buy a Toyota now even with the no interest payments for 5 years?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:30 pm

Colleen (author) said:

@NaysWay - If MIB is shape shifting still, then it’s because he’s got some kind of end game to lure them somewhere else for the ultimate end game

# 9 March 2010 at 9:30 pm

mushand said:

Naw won’t run ODM its a tatoo, but I think we will see him as a slave

# 9 March 2010 at 9:30 pm

Will said:

Becky: probably so

# 9 March 2010 at 9:30 pm

Jessica said:

Richard: “Don’t believe him”…going to die. School nurse, Juliet?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:30 pm

mushand said:

Colleen, I don’t think he is shifting I think he is stuck in that body for a while.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:31 pm

Nick said:

And Nurse Juliet is debunked.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:31 pm

ChrisInBoston said:

MIB came ot hurley as Jacob in order to get him to bring sayid to the temple, to become his pawn.

he also got hurley to bring jack to the lighthouse…to destroy it.

Jacob…was MiB to hurley

You got some Tree Crap on you!!!

He is a real killer, good job Arzt! You and that obvious really never miss a beat no matter what reality

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

noelle said:

but wait it couldnt be mib as jacob that hurleys seeing because he cant take another form because hes stuck as locke. and jin couldnt see him and neither could dogen

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

Matt in Syracuse said:

“Linus, you’re a real killer” - Arzt has no idea

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

Stefanie said:

I wish my hubby was into lost. He’s an assistant principal — now he would finally be able to relate… Lost is all about high school politics. Love it.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

mushand said:

Yeah Black Rock

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

NaysWay said:

Leslie has had more face time in the sideways world than he ever did on the island. Good for him.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

Jessica aka jlyn1980 said:

Ben digs really nice graves.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:32 pm

Those are some really straight grave edges for just a bamboo trunk.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:33 pm

Is Richard gonna Arzt himself?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:33 pm

So many parallels with Season 1 and 6

# 9 March 2010 at 9:34 pm

Jessica aka jlyn1980 said:

Oooooo so much on Alpert………..

# 9 March 2010 at 9:34 pm

Stefanie said:

that’s the loophole… can’t kill yourself… someone has to do that for you… remember Michael couldn’t kill himself?

# 9 March 2010 at 9:34 pm

ManilaRaf said:

Richard’s sounding a lot like Ben before he knifed Jacob.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:34 pm

richey looks psychotic in that light

# 9 March 2010 at 9:34 pm

Richard is Doubting Thomas!!!!

Did Jacob not touch Jack when he gave him the candy bar?

I think Jack G’s theory of MIB and jacob being the same person is coming true…. MIB couldn’t kill jacob b/c MIB is Jacob so he had to find the loophole (get someone else to kill himself)… MIB/Jacob has the internal battle going on inside of him (good vs. evil) etc.

OK the show is coming back on gotta watch…

# 9 March 2010 at 9:39 pm

Jacob touched Locke (after he was pushed out of the bldg), Kate (as a child when she tried to steal that lunch box), Jin and Sun (at their wedding)…has he phyically touched Jack, Sawyer and Hurley? I can’t clearly recall that. Even though he did meet with each of them. Oh, and he touched Sayid (when asking for directions which led to Nadia dying).

I wish there was an Emmy for ensamble cast, because everyone on this show deserves it. I’m tearing up over here. Finally Ben is feeling sorry for everything that he did. So Ben, and the Hydra group are against Jacob.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:53 pm

Colleen (author) said:

To expand on what Outside of Philly said, it’s very interesting the reactions of Ben and Richard as they deal with the “loss” of Jacob, who they put so much trust in. Not only is it SUCH a human thing to do, it’s also so Biblical…Last Supper photo, anyone?l

# 9 March 2010 at 9:53 pm

Jeremy in Mississippi said:

Ben & Locke are the most tortured characters on this show….even though Ben is always seen as the bad guy, there’s no doubt that its easy to root for him because of horrible life he’s had

# 9 March 2010 at 9:53 pm

I thought that MIB couldn’t change into anyone else? I thought they said that he was stuck now in Locke.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:54 pm

That actor was also in a couple of the Die Hard movies. He played a reporter who risked John McClaine’s family to get a story. McClaine’s wife punched him at the end of the movie.

Ben should have just waited til Alex got accepted to Yale and then showed the principal the emails. It would still be gross and illegal months later. Win Win. But at least he cared about Alex.

# 9 March 2010 at 9:58 pm

New crackpot theory… I think both timelines are happening at the same time and how the character acts in each timeline impacts the other… I.e. Ben did not blackmail the principal so he got redemption and Illana let him live on the island.

Using US Navy parlance, Widmore’s on a Muthaf—ing boat!!!

# 9 March 2010 at 10:03 pm

Stefanie said:

Another theory… Ben was always “one of the good guys” but when he was shot by Sayed as a kid and brought to the temple that’s what made the “darkness” grow inside him and it won out on the island — he led as an evil leader.

Whereas in the sideways the “light” one out and he let his “good” side win over his need for power.

Can you say Emmy? I actually teared up when Ben said “because he’s the only one that will have me.” These characters we’ve been watching for 5 years now have changed so much… I’ve never felt more attached to characters in a story, and that just shows how amazing a show LOST has been.

I also loved the shot at the end with Richard and Ben standing on either side of the group of friendly losties.

How many days would you say have past between Akira crashing and the present time on the island? Wasn’t Widmore there talking with Hawking in LA the night before?

He must’ve captained the sub straight to the island from there or something.

Colleen (author) said:

Eric, I totally agree with what you just said. “He’s the only one that will have me” broke my heart.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:08 pm

ManilaRaf said:

Or maybe he used Hawking & The Lamppost to figure out where the island would be at the present time and that’s how he knew what bearing/position to use and how he got there by sub.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:08 pm

Colleen (author) said:

Raf - I think that Widmore was using the Lamp Post station to figure out where it’d be, as well.

So if Jacob told Hurley he wanted to help Widmore get to the Island, then what does that mean?

# 9 March 2010 at 10:10 pm

ManilaRaf said:

@Boston I think I did. He’s one of the Russian soldiers in the area 51 warehouse scene right?

# 9 March 2010 at 10:11 pm

Matt T said:

Wow. Great episode. I think I’ve warmed up to the flash sideways. Michael Emerson was amazing as usual, and that stinger, awesome. I was giddy.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:11 pm

Jersey Chris said:

It is amazing that Ben experienced a remarkably similar dilemma in the flash sideways as on the island. This time he got it right. I’m glad Ben is FINALLY one of the “good guys”.
But, what does it mean?!?! WHY is Alex still a part of his life in this flash sideways? WHY???

# 9 March 2010 at 10:11 pm

Alison said:

Ok, can we now start the official Michael Emerson for an Emmy campaign ‘10?

Seriously amazing episode, though was a little insulted by them actually having to say Widmore’s name. DUH! Knew it was him! How the heck did he find it? Did Locke’s body have anything to do with it?

# 9 March 2010 at 10:16 pm

Madison_0218 said:

Okay, so this occured to me as Ilana was telling Sun that there were only six candidates left. It seems as though, one by one, the main players - candidates or not - are dying off. So, in the end, only one will be standing… the one who will protect the island. But for those who do die, perhaps they then go on to live their lives as seen in the flash sideways. And how they lived on the island, or who they sided with on the island, determines how their lives will play out. Ben is now repentant and sorry for all the hurt he’s caused. So, when he dies, he goes on to live life as shown in his flash sideways as a man who puts others before himself. In his flash sideways, he chose Alex’s happiness over power because engrained in his subconscious memory are his experiences on the island.

One more thing, we all think Kate’s flash sideways have taken her on the same path as she was on from her flash backs — that nothing has changed. But I’m thinking that she didn’t actually kill anybody and she is being wrongly accused. Afterall, she did ask Claire in the hospital, “would you believe me if I told you I was innocent?”

@Colleen I think this is where that bedroom scene between Ben & Widmore may play itself out, although now I’m not so sure how it’ll turn out now that Ben seems to have done some soul searching.

Jacob & MIL need both need someone to take their respective places on the island. MIL reached out to Ben, as did Jacob in the past. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Jacob’s done the same or “touched” Widmore in the past (TWSS).

I’m still trying to figure out if “The Rules” referred to in the bedroom scene are the same rules (and loophole) that exist between Jacob & MIL. MIL couldn’t kill Jacob. Ben couldn’t kill Widmore. I’m guessing we’ll see the story develop along those lines in the coming episodes.

Two (opposing) theories.

Adding to Jacob is MiL… Iliana said she wasn’t sure which of the Kwan’s, OR BOTH, she was supposed to suggest. Might they take over both roles? I dunno…

Concerning Rules and Loophole: Only Candidates (Former or Current) may kill other candidates, and they cannot kill themselves. This would explain Michael not being able to kill himself off island and Richard and Jack not being able to kill themselves. It would also be the final test for Sayid - if Sayid was still a candidate maybe he would have been able to kill MiL the same way that Ben was able to kill Jacob.

If this is true: Maybe MiL is just an old candidate who changed his mind a’la Richard - nix the suicidal tendencies.

Interesting watching it again. Wondering if something happened on the island to cause Roger Linus to need oxygen. And how interesting that Ben again gassed his father, this time for good.

@Madison_0218 I’m totally with you on most of your theories.. I’ve thought the same thing myself.

@Torourkeus I’m liking the additional backup for the theory MIL is Jacob

Stefanie said:

So far Desmond is the only one who can travel between time periods… I agree with the folks that say he’s the key to bringing the timelines together

So Ben’s a good guy, for now. Richard definitely
came on the Black Rock. And sideways Ben and substitute
Locke work for “Principal Dickless” (can I say that on here?)
I love this show.

ManilaRaf said:

@Torourkeus I generally agree with what you said about the rules & loophole. I’m just having trouble explaining how at the bedroom scene at the end of The Shape of Things to Come between Ben & Widmore, Widmore asks Ben if Ben came to kill him. And Ben responds, “We both know I can’t do that.”

If candidates can kill each other and die, but they can’t die by their own hand; why can’t Ben kill Widmore? Or is there another reason why Ben can’t kill him on the order of the the TNT fuse going out.

(Although that can be explained as Jack not being allowed to kill himself)

# 9 March 2010 at 10:29 pm

Stefanie said:

@ManilaRaf great point about the shape of things to come bedroom scene with Ben and Widmore (are they the same person)… no just kidding. Maybe the rules are different off island?

Help me with this list:

People who have tried to kill themselves but couldn’t

Jack (on the bridge)
Michael (off island with a gun — If I remember correctly)
Richard (tonight in the black rock)

I’m a little surprised MIL didn’t take Ben with him after he left the statue. He got Ben to kill Jacob, so I guess I would think MIL would use him for other things (like how he used Claire and Sayid).

Also, Ben had the choice to go with MIL or Llana. Both eventually welcomed him, but it was interesting that Ben chose Llana after she was just about to kill him. Maybe Ben thinks there is something fishy going on with MIL even though he helped Ben get free.

Okay, so let’s review what we learned tonight because I LOVE these types of episodes that give you important little nuggets to mull over forever:

-The Island existed in Sideways. However, technically if it did blow up when Jack blew it up then Ben would be dead bc he was on the Island and so was Roger Linus. This doesn’t make sense if you think that Jack supposedly blew up the Island in ‘77 or whatever
-That means that Jack didn’t…because we can account for Ben & Roger…so if Roger quit and left before, then…the Island either exists still in this time line but they didn’t go to it bc Desmond wasn’t on it to mess up pushing the button
-…Meaning the sideways have zero to do with the blast and what we saw under water is looking more like the Island’s post-current timeline destiny
Also:
-Richard confirmed why both Jack and Michael couldn’t kill themselves and even why Locke couldn’t
-Jack became a Man of Faith, officially
-We know from a reliable source that they’re supposed to be Jacob
-Jacob was bluffing with Ben
-Miles found the diamonds so Nikki & Paolo also serve a purpose for someone on that Island

So did Dr. Linus’ heart grow three sizes tonight?
These flash sideways really do seem like ways for our Losties
to make amends and have a happy ending

# 9 March 2010 at 10:44 pm

ManilaRaf said:

@Colleen I saw a theory on a blog earlier this week saying that what we saw (the island underwater) is what we’ll see as the ending for LOST once everything is resolved. The Island sinking had zero to do with Jughead going off at the Swan construction site. The reason they flashed out of the 1970s back to 2007 was due to something that’ll occur in the series finale.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:45 pm

ManilaRaf said:

Regarding the diamonds and Miles finding them. I could have sworn I saw Sawyer thrown them in as free stones and not in the small bag. Did Miles really have time to sift through all that dirt?

I’ll have to go back and check if I’m right.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:47 pm

ManilaRaf said:

Yup, I was right. Sawyer poured out the diamonds into his hand and threw the loose stones onto Nikki. Right before the “8 hours ago” flashback took place. After that flash back, you can see the black bag on her leg, with the loose stones around her.

Could jacob have been responsible for keeping MIL on the island,to protect the outside world.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:54 pm

Colleen (author) said:

@Raf - I would have shifted through all of that dirt for that much money worth in diamonds!

# 9 March 2010 at 10:54 pm

Chris from RI said:

Interesting @ ManilaRaf. Maybe the Island is completely fictitious and the ‘War’ mentioned by Widmore and Ben is in the characters minds?

We saw the flash backs of there lives and the flash forwards. The flash sideways seem to be the points where the characters try to make amends for what they had done previously. There actions and choices on the ‘Island’ seem to be correlate and eventually leads them to make better decisions in life and be more accepting of the way things are.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:55 pm

ManilaRaf said:

@Colleen True. Plus Nikki was still technically alive when that happened, so she could have told Miles where to sift. Haha.

# 9 March 2010 at 10:58 pm

ManilaRaf said:

@Colleen Do you think that was $3.2 million worth of diamonds?

Wait…so what timeline is Widmore coming from???

Widmore is coming from the 2007 timeline

Any understanding why MIL is going to the Hydra station with his people? The Ajira plane was my guess, but curious…

# 9 March 2010 at 11:12 pm

Colleen (author) said:

Chris from RI: He’s going to the Hydra because he’s the LOCKENESS MONSTER and he lives in the water. Boo-yah! GONG.

# 9 March 2010 at 11:14 pm

ManilaRaf said:

So if Locke’s people are going to the Hydra Station, assuming that they’ll be using outriggers, were they then the ones to be shooting at Sawyer, Juliet, et al before they flashed through time? They flashed into the future (2007) then. Explains why there’s already an Ajira Water bottle in the camp. (Anyone think of that Ajira water bottle when Ben found the Oceanic water bottle tonight?)

# 9 March 2010 at 11:18 pm

Miles–didn’t he tell Illana that he could only “read” dead people soon after there demise and had to have the body there? Nikki & Paulo had been dead for awhile [in fact before Miles was on the island] or maybe he did live there longer than just as a baby…so how did he know about the diamonds ??
Also, I think Faraday will show back up [on or off island--not sure] and he will have something to do with the final story of what happens to the island itself!
