i was under the impression a lot of time passed between the flight crash and them finding the fake one. would've given ben plenty of time to stage that...wouldn't put it past him.
True, I think in the online game a month or so passed or at least a few weeks. I didn't even think of it that way.
You're right. I still don't think we've scratched the surface about makes Ben Linus tick and all his connections.
So who is next member of the Oceanic 6 going to be next week? I haven't looked at any of the previews this year listing whose flashbacks / flashforward it is?
why would you have a physicist, ghosthunter (medium), and a palenantologist togther on an exploration of "an island"??? That's my big question now....
Other thoughts.... Indian Ocean has been ground zero for some nuclear testing.. is this a result of said testing?? or could this be similar to the "Philadelphia Experiment"?? Again thinking aloud...
Juliet can't come back (IMHO) because she wasn't on the plane... she can't be part of the Oceanic 6.
Best part of the episode
Locke's and Ben's look after Hurley said the shack was the other way... it was priceless. Hurley is the new threat to Ben.

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.

You would have the medium, physicist and archaeologist together to unlock the secrets of the island. Besides finding Ben, I think their secondary objective is to figure out what the heck is going on there. And if a few people say 6 get rescued, that's fine with them.
Good call on the Philadelphia Experiment. I tivo'd that like 6 months ago on the History Channel and I may have to rewatch that this weekend.
Yep, as much I like Juliet, there is no way after lapidus and miles reacted that she is getting off the island through them. Maybe that is why Jack feels guilty in the future.
And yep, Hurley is definitely a threat now to both Locke and Ben.
why would you have a physicist, ghosthunter (medium), and a palenantologist togther on an exploration of "an island"??? That's my big question now....
One last thought and then bedtime for me.
But aren't the three the physicist, the ghosthunter, and archaeologist/anthropologist all good candidates to be able to study in the original Dharma Initiative?
"The alleged purpose of the Initiative was to create "a large-scale communal research compound where scientists and free-thinkers from around the globe could pursue research in meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and Utopian social."
- From Lostpedia
So, the Physicist would study in electromagnestism, the ghosthunter in parapsychology and the anthropologist study Utopian society. Now if they were part of Dharma, that would explain why they had the gas masks after what happened to Dharma after the Purge and why they are looking for Ben.
I think that the 4 people chosen to take the journey to the island mean something.
1. The ghost hunter - Maybe he's there to communicate with the dead. Maybe everyone on the island is in fact dead.
2. The paleontologist - Maybe the castaways are caught in a time-warp. Maybe she is there to prove the existence of people on this island in a past life. The people being our friends from 815.
3. The physicist - There to prove how everything is possible. Maybe he represents the scientific explanation of flight 815.
4. The pilot - I think he represents the real. Maybe everything on the island is real. He is there to represent that story.
Each one of these 4 people represent a story. Paranormal (they're all dead), Time (they're all in a time warp), Physics (the reason they're actually on the island), and a would-be participant of the crash (they are living in today's world, and are indeed on an island).
Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."
I'm still guessing Locke was shot where his kidney was supposed to be. But because it was removed by Cooper, the bullet didn't hit any major organs.
That and the island has crazy healing powers.
Good call on this.
Interesting episode. Got excited when they showed Faraday at the beginning in Essex, Mass...used to live in the next town over...lots of good clam shacks in Essex. And when he saw the news clip of the discovery of 815, his reaction leads me to believe he is involved further in the story than just recently being hired by Naomi to go on the expedition...he knows more.
Same thing with Charlotte and the Tunisian Dharma Polar Bear...these people must be connected to Dharma or something.
Definitely loved the Benry and Locke reaction to Hurley saying the shack was over there.
Now if they were part of Dharma, that would explain why they had the gas masks after what happened to Dharma after the Purge and why they are looking for Ben.
my first reaction when they said they were looking for ben was dharma initiative people coming back for revenge.

trivia
Frank's flashback takes place in 2004, as evidenced by the "2004 Map & Activities Brochure" located on top of his television.
The Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 Hotline Number 1-888-548-0034 is seen on Frank's television. Calling this number results in an automated message, not a human operator as seen on the show.
The helicopter's number, N842M, would make it registered in the USA.
Charlotte's name: Charlotte Staples Lewis, is a reference to Clive Staples Lewis (commonly referred to as C.S. Lewis), author of the Chronicles of Narnia.
Michael Faraday was an English chemist and physicist who contributed to electromagnetism as a field of study. From Wikipedia: "He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena." In this episode, Faraday comments on abnormalities in the light rays on the island.
The name Minkowski is a reference to Hermann Minkowski, the mathematician who pioneered the idea of 4-dimensional space-time.
The name Lapidus may be a reference to the movie Sleeper, in which one character says "Then I would talk like Mr. Lapidus, who got hit by lightning." Sleeper is about a man who wakes up after being frozen in liquid nitrogen for 200 years. "Lapidus," literally translated from Hebrew, means "candles," or "torches."
ok so after the show my boyfriend and i went through everything.. so this is from both of us. all just speculation of course...
soooo we have these 4. one can read the dead, one has emotional ties to things and is very intuative, one is a dharma junkie and one was supposed to fly the plane.. that kind of sounds like a suicide mission. if Abbadon was sending them there, and he seems to want to make sure hurley shuts up about the island.. why would he send those 4... i dont think he sent them to figure things out.. he sent them there to be "lost" as well maybe. i guess he didnt account for the helicopter to be saved.
also we were discussing ben and how he knows everything and he said he has someone on the freighter.. everyone with me now... MICHAEL. makes sense no? and that could further lead to him being the one in the casket later on... he was a traitor.. who knows why yet.. but there must have been a reason... ben sent him off the island and on to that boat. ahhh brilliance.. that was all my boyfriend... hes smart.
so it was an excellent one last night. it really did give us insight to whats going on. as for ben he is probably stuck between two companies... one that wants to blow the island wide open and one that wants to keep it a secret. he is the go to man so he is in the midst...
also we were discussing ben and how he knows everything and he said he has someone on the freighter.. everyone with me now... MICHAEL. makes sense no? and that could further lead to him being the one in the casket later on... he was a traitor.. who knows why yet.. but there must have been a reason... ben sent him off the island and on to that boat. ahhh brilliance.. that was all my boyfriend... hes smart.
i said michael a few posts earlier, too.
i love your theories, though. brilliant as always...very possible he wanted those other guys to get lost!
soooo we have these 4. one can read the dead, one has emotional ties to things and is very intuative, one is a dharma junkie and one was supposed to fly the plane.. that kind of sounds like a suicide mission. if Abbadon was sending them there, and he seems to want to make sure hurley shuts up about the island.. why would he send those 4... i dont think he sent them to figure things out.. he sent them there to be "lost" as well maybe. i guess he didnt account for the helicopter to be saved.
Perhaps when Abbadon says to Hurley in episode 1, "Are they still alive?", he's referring to the 4 from the helicoptor.
SO... is there anyone who thinks it might be Michael on the boat feeding Benry info??
just listening to the mmr talk about it. they pointed out that the new pilot was a haggard mess by the time they discovered the plane in the ocean. so the question was what kind of time elapsed that made him go from a pilot that was supposed to fly oceanic 815 to this alcoholic beach bum...
hahahaha nah, think it just got LOST at the top of the page
yeah, in the middle of my 22 posts this morning.... i get over-excited on lost day and tend to post a million times with any random thoughts that cross my mind!
but yea.. the whole show i kept thinking oh yea they are on the island to do research and blah blah.. and then mike mentioned it was a suicide mission and it clicked...
I'm curious to see who this Minkowski (sp) guy is who apparently is running things on the freighter.
Pretty sure his character is played by Fisher Stevens. I saw his name in the credits on the replay of last weeks episode, and then when you hear Jack talking to him on the walkie you can definitely tell its his voice. I kind of want him to be Ben's spy, or Michael would be cool. But it sure as shit better not be Mikhail! That fucking guy always pops up somewhere after you think he's dead.
When they first showed Miles go to the house and up to that kid's room, I thought he was going to vacuum something, so my wife said he must be a ghost buster jokingly. Turned out to be pretty dead on. BUT, anyone else notice the picture of the boy who died on the wall? I swear its a dead ringer for Eko as a boy. HD Screencap anyone?
Why did Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, Frank, and Naomi know something about 815 survivors?
."
ok the first 2 questions were the ones i was thinking of last night. i have no idea about the gas masks... the only reason i could come up with is they heard about Ben's hijinks with the dharma group and they wanted to be prepared??
i feel like minkowski was ignoring the call because he was hoping they were already dead or lost communication.. i dont know but i fuond that odd too..
and the last one.. do you think that maybe ben told whomever that he has flight 815 on his island.. and he is using that as bait and bribing.. oceanic covered up but he has the real truth... i dunno.. just guesses
Even before last nights episode, I said the "not Penny's boat" would be the rest of the Dharma Init. But then I started thinking last night, why would Dharma be hunting Ben but drop off payloads of food on the crate......and why couldn't they sneak someone on that, someone must be able to find the island.

why would you have a physicist, ghosthunter (medium), and a palenantologist togther on an exploration of "an island"??? That's my big question now....
Other thoughts.... Indian Ocean has been ground zero for some nuclear testing.. is this a result of said testing?? or could this be similar to the "Philadelphia Experiment"?? Again thinking aloud...
Juliet can't come back (IMHO) because she wasn't on the plane... she can't be part of the Oceanic 6.

When I saw that I thought someone staged the plane that was found, because the body looked like manequin. I didn't think of Ben doing it though.
1. The ghost hunter - Maybe he's there to communicate with the dead. Maybe everyone on the island is in fact dead.
2. The paleontologist - Maybe the castaways are caught in a time-warp. Maybe she is there to prove the existence of people on this island in a past life. The people being our friends from 815.
3. The physicist - There to prove how everything is possible. Maybe he represents the scientific explanation of flight 815.
4. The pilot - I think he represents the real. Maybe everything on the island is real. He is there to represent that story.
Each one of these 4 people represent a story. Paranormal (they're all dead), Time (they're all in a time warp), Physics (the reason they're actually on the island), and a would-be participant of the crash (they are living in today's world, and are indeed on an island).
Interesting episode. Got excited when they showed Faraday at the beginning in Essex, Mass...used to live in the next town over...lots of good clam shacks in Essex. And when he saw the news clip of the discovery of 815, his reaction leads me to believe he is involved further in the story than just recently being hired by Naomi to go on the expedition...he knows more.

also we were discussing ben and how he knows everything and he said he has someone on the freighter.. everyone with me now... MICHAEL. makes sense no? and that could further lead to him being the one in the casket later on... he was a traitor.. who knows why yet.. but there must have been a reason... ben sent him off the island and on to that boat. ahhh brilliance.. that was all my boyfriend... hes smart.
so it was an excellent one last night. it really did give us insight to whats going on. as for ben he is probably stuck between two companies... one that wants to blow the island wide open and one that wants to keep it a secret. he is the go to man so he is in the midst...
ok must do work.. but had to get that out

just listening to the mmr talk about it. they pointed out that the new pilot was a haggard mess by the time they discovered the plane in the ocean. so the question was what kind of time elapsed that made him go from a pilot that was supposed to fly oceanic 815 to this alcoholic beach bum...
oh snap!
but yea.. the whole show i kept thinking oh yea they are on the island to do research and blah blah.. and then mike mentioned it was a suicide mission and it clicked...
Pretty sure his character is played by Fisher Stevens. I saw his name in the credits on the replay of last weeks episode, and then when you hear Jack talking to him on the walkie you can definitely tell its his voice. I kind of want him to be Ben's spy, or Michael would be cool. But it sure as shit better not be Mikhail! That fucking guy always pops up somewhere after you think he's dead.
When they first showed Miles go to the house and up to that kid's room, I thought he was going to vacuum something, so my wife said he must be a ghost buster jokingly. Turned out to be pretty dead on. BUT, anyone else notice the picture of the boy who died on the wall? I swear its a dead ringer for Eko as a boy. HD Screencap anyone?
ok the first 2 questions were the ones i was thinking of last night. i have no idea about the gas masks... the only reason i could come up with is they heard about Ben's hijinks with the dharma group and they wanted to be prepared??
i feel like minkowski was ignoring the call because he was hoping they were already dead or lost communication.. i dont know but i fuond that odd too..
and the last one.. do you think that maybe ben told whomever that he has flight 815 on his island.. and he is using that as bait and bribing.. oceanic covered up but he has the real truth... i dunno.. just guesses
