I am not watching on an HD tv, but it appears to me (especially while watching Recon) that Flocke's eyes sometimes look like they are 2 different colors. With the theories that Flocke is somehow a mixture of MIB and Locke's personalities, it may make sense that one eye is Locke's and the other is MIB. What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-69146366409716967172010-03-16T11:39:42.800-05:002010-03-16T11:39:42.800-05:00Agree with Anne that 6 remaining candidates are Ja...Agree with Anne that 6 remaining candidates are Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sun, Jun and Hurley. Why Kate is not 108, but 'Wallace' is, I don't know. However could be that only one of the Kwon's is a candidate - why did Fake Locke not manipulate Sun back at the statue when he had the chance?<br /><br />Also wonder about Desmond - both Hawking and Widmore (former leaders of the others and presumably in contact with Jacob - flashback time!) have always tried to keep him away from Penny and get him to the island, so is possible he could be the 6th if it's not one of the Kwons, albeit I definitely believe Jacob touched both of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-28232361246409493692010-03-16T10:25:47.889-05:002010-03-16T10:25:47.889-05:00I was thinking about whether or not Widmore was &q...I was thinking about whether or not Widmore was "good," and I considered your points, but I think there is still a strong possibility that Widmore is "good" (on Jacob's side).<br />First, if Widmore is the person Jacob was trying to help find the island, that might mean they're on the same side (considering that Jacob did not seem to imply that the person coming to the island was a nemesis). Second, if you think about what happened, Christian (Man in Black) was the one who told Locke to move the island so that Widmore's people could not find the island, which would also imply that Man in Black is not on the same side as Widmore. Third, maybe Widmore wanted to kill Ben because he knew that Ben was going to kill Jacob (because I'm still convinced that Jacob knew Ben was going to kill him). Also, you mentioned that Widmore helped the Losties/candidates get back to the island. I think that's more evidence that he's helping Jacob than an evil plan to get the candidates to go back to the island and be killed. We know that Widmore definitely knew of this war that was coming to the island, and we know that he tried to recruit Locke to be on the "right" team. I guess only time will tell which team that really was.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-50130081924085725962010-03-16T07:18:47.106-05:002010-03-16T07:18:47.106-05:00Did Jacob touched Sayid?Did Jacob touched Sayid?Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-55480630883853677462010-03-15T19:12:38.100-05:002010-03-15T19:12:38.100-05:00Thanks again for a wonderful post.

I got to thinking about what happened to the other Ajira survivors, and realized that the amount of time that has passed since the crash has only been a few days(though it seems longer to us.) I think the 316ers are probably still on the hydra island and we will see Fake Locke confront these survivors seeing how he told Ben that's where he was headed.<br /><br />As for Widmore, he would have to be pretty quick to act in order to get a plane full of exhumed corpses into the ocean just days after the crash. However he does have his ways.<br /><br />Hopefully with Widmore coming back to the island, Desmond will be right behind him to foil is plan.ComeOnFeelTheIllinoisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-72476784504091666112010-03-14T22:38:47.059-05:002010-03-14T22:38:47.059-05:00this one was my favorite so far too!

Buil...E, love your blog congrats on the book deal.<br /><br />Building on Raghav (Great question). I think there are more questions surrounding Ben and Widmore. For example, who gave Ben the list of people for Sayid to Kill in the Economist. MIB? Jacob? <br />Also, who is the Economist?<br /><br />Who told Ben/Widmore about the "rules" that were discussed during the Ben/Widmore confrontation in Widmore's bedroom.<br /><br /><br />I'm not convinced that Jacob is Jesus/Light/Good. MIB is evil but that doesn't mean Jacob is good. Jacob could be Randolph Duke in Trading Places... Randolph believed in nuture over nature, a better dude than his brother but in the end he was manipulative/deceitful and the game pieces/candidates (Billy Ray Valentine/Louis Winthrop turned on both brothers).<br /><br />Some other Ben qusetions...who/ what told him to gas the Dharma folks? Who actually saved Ben? Was it Jacob or MIB?<br /><br />Who told Ben to get Juilette to trade her freedom to save her sister. Unlke Doggen (and his son) Juliette had no responsiblity for her sister's cancer. Maybe this was a "pure sacrifice" go to the Island so your sister could live. But then to bring her to the Island to try and cure the fertility issue was totally bogus and a cruel/pointless effort (what ever was causing women to lose their babies was not something Juliette could fix). So was this MIB driven or Ben acting alone or did he mis-read Jacob via Richard.MBA Day Camp Profhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969492500283351394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-43797855822016560772010-03-13T08:36:01.008-06:002010-03-13T08:36:01.008-06:00Dr. Linus may end up as the best episode ever...fo...Dr. Linus may end up as the best episode ever...for me, anyway. I cried in all the same places Erica, and as I watched...I couldn't even say why. It was just so emotionally stirring. Never has a show gotten so many tears from me & still prompted me to laugh.

Perfection!<br /><br />Who would have thought I would have come to care so much about Ben Linus that I felt like I was about to be punched in the gut because they were about to kill him? Even last season, I was sure I would jump up and sing, "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!" at the top of my lungs as I danced in celebration. <br /><br />I love the way all of our favorite Losties are facing their demons in the flash sideways and actually learning from them. And at the same time, none of them feel like they are succeeding. They don't know they've made such progress. They only know they are trying. <br /><br />Its beautiful.

You are gifted<br />at this!<br /> I agree with you about Widmore being on the "dark" side (but I'm going to have a hard time believing that the guy who killed an innocent sixteen-year-old girl simply because she was the daughter of his nemesis could be anything but evil.)<br /><br />Plus, when Miles was pulled into the van by Bram, Bram told him that working for Widmore would put him on the wrong side.<br /><br />Raghav brought up an interesting question that has really bugged me since last season. How did Ben know what needed to be done to get the Oceanic 6 back to the island? Did Ellie tell him? Is Ellie in cahoots with Widmore? <br /><br />I know a lot of people are thinking that the sideways timeline is perhaps the end of the show,<br />and as much as I have enjoyed the sideways glances, I would be a bit disappointed if it ended with most of them having no memory of the island.<br />Sort of a Paradise Lost!whimsymoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179795608312220214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-66848968479194481202010-03-12T17:31:46.001-06:002010-03-12T17:31:46.001-06:00I cannot wait to see Vincent, Rose, and Bernard......I cannot wait to see Vincent, Rose, and Bernard...

So, in a way, it was JACOB'S NEMESIS who actually convinced real LOCKE to get the oceanic 6 back on the island. But BEN knew nothing about it, because he was already off the island, courtesy of the DONKEY WHEEL, so the whole point of my post is that, WHAT MADE BEN DECIDE THAT REAL JOHN LOCKE MUST COME TO THE ISLAND TOO, WHEN HE JUST DOES'NT NEED TO ?? Ben had got no part in it, so that means that BEN has some knowledge of what might happen to john locke once he's on the island, which surprisingly links him to FAKE LOCKE!
