LOST 2/25

Yeah, that part was bleh.

But I liked the rest of it. Just when I'm all set to think Whidmore is evil....he goes off and starts acting like one of the good guys.

We already know we can't trust Ben....but I liked that now I'm not sure about Whidmore.
 
I kind of think that Whitmore's still a bad guy, but I think it's more to do with him wanting to get to Ben and nto caring what happens to anyone in his way.

The part of Ben killing John was definitely predictable, but the way it happened is interesting. I'm wondering why the mention of whatshername (I'm horrible with names) set him off. Either he's threatened that Locke may actually get some legitimate answers from this woman, or just out of pettiness over wanting to be "the guy" on the island and seeing Locke as once again getting access Ben was never given, or maybe because it was a sign to him that John was working with Whitmore all the way and Ben felt like he had to take him out in order to keep Whitmore out of the loop.

I think the answer is going to be that neither of these guys is "good", and it may well be that they're both fighting for the rights to an island that neither is supposed to have.

BTW, how interesting is it that Christian died, got put in a coffin, sent to the island and is brought back to life, just like Locke. Seems as if Christian had at some point been on the island, maybe at the same time as Whitmore, and maybe has the same kind of link to the island that John has.
 
I'm trying to figure out what that building is/was that the new crash victim's found. what Dharma building could it be?
 
if i remember correctly, on the 2nd, smaller island there is a Dharma station where they kept the test animals.
 
pretty sure it's Hydra. they're not on the main island. that's what john is looking at standing on the beach.
 
Ben killing Locke was what I thought happened the moment that he told Jack the he went to see Locke. But it was odd that he talked him down from killing himself only to turn around and kill him. So he either only wanted to know a name or that particular name meant more than just a point of contact.
 
Ben always knew (or believed) Locke had to die =- he just didn't want it to happen until he got the intel he needed from him. Now my question is --is Locke really alive on the island, or alive like Christian Shepard?
 
it looked like Ben really didn't have any intention of killing Locke until Locke mentioned Eloise Hawking. I wonder if Ben exiled her at the same time he exiled Widmore.
 
"Just when I'm all set to think Whidmore is evil....he goes off and starts acting like one of the good guys."

Wasn't it Whidmore that wanted to sever both of Julliette's arms?
 
Prodigal- Ben was responsible for making sure Locke's body got on the plane. Given what he knows about the island, I don't think he is going tob e surprised at all to see Locke alive again.

I think the big question is why did he do it. Everything that sneaky b---rd does has a reason.
 
That scene with Ben and Locke was a little confusing. It seemed to me that he originally had no intention of killing him. But then something changed when he heard the old lady's name. Although I got that trying to judge his changed facial expression, and that guy is tought o judge.

As to Widmore, werent his people using darts? And Ben's people (or Ben) using bullets?

I was suprised Abadon was mortal.

Is Jack's dad dead? if so, then so is Claire. Is Locke? Maybe all those people are dead. Although the plane looked to be in good shape.
 
I think Ben got the info. he needed from Locke that could be used to (a) convince the others to go back to the island and (b) get them back. Once he knew about Jin and the ring and Eloise's name Locke was more useful dead.

My thought is that Ben knew Locke would come back alive once he returned to the island. He figured killing him would only be temporary.
 
Agree that the scene with Ben killing Locke was confusing, but I'll bet Ben will be a tad surprised to see Locke looking good while he (Ben) is mangled up in the infirmary.
 
So if Locke is the Big Kahuna needed for the upcoming war, how does Claire's son that Kate gave up factor into things? Wasn't Claire's son supposed to be special? Is Locke really Claire's kid but as a kid sent back in time for protection? I guess not, but that would have been cool.
 
So was that the show's send-off for Walt? If so, I'm kind of disappointed that the Walt storyline never really went anywhere.
 
I love LOST.. LOve it!.. But I'm afraid we're going to be way mor dissapointed with the way things play out than we are going to be satisfied or even entertained by it.
 
Whimore and Ben each know that their ticket back to the island is to get the O6 to return. They each want to piggyback on the O6's return.

Widmore tells Locke that the island needs him. Whether or not that is true, Widmore definitely needs this to happen in order to return.

Unfortunately for Widmore, Ben hijacks W's plan at the moment Locke say's Ellie's name.

A bit confusing, but I don't think the writer's were trying to be ellusive on this.
 
"Is Jack's dad dead? if so, then so is Claire. Is Locke? Maybe all those people are dead."

Michael's dead for sure. I saw Harold Perrineau on TMZ a couple of days ago saying he didn't know what was going on with the show because he was off of it.
 
I suspect that Ben didn't know how to get back to the island himself, and was going to piggyback with Locke. Once he got Eloise's name, he knew where to go to get back, and didn't need Locke anymore.
 
Agree that Ben has no idea Locke will come back to life.

Remember, the plane had to be similar to the first time. That is why Jack had to get something from his dad (shoes) since his father's corpse was on the first crash.

Also, Hurley had a guitar when he was in the water (Charlie's?).

My 2 cents is that Whidmore was the leader, then Ben had a coup and kicked Whidmore off. Locke is the new chosen one and they both want it back.
 
I think Widmore must have been banished a long time before Ben came to power. Ben didn't become the Other's leader until around when that episode aired where he killed the entire Dharma initiative ... unless he got rid of Widmore before then. Widmore is a very rich person, so he must have had time off the island to get that much money. although i'm not sure how much time passed between when the Dharma iniative died and 815 crashed.
