any pick up on this. They were playing Risk. They said that Austarlia was the most importnat part to the game......they all were in Australia when they took off on the plane.

do you think that was a hint to some significance to Australia?

The parka thing in the desert (not to mention the wound to his arm) and asking if it was 2005 at the hotel leads me to believe Benry travelled off the island in a rather non-conventional way (not dez' boat for sure, some kind of electromagnetic vortex or something).


And Benry being innocent in nadia's death is as likely as Juliet telling the truth.

Not sure if you guys read the EW review of the episodes, but this kind of stuck out for me.

"A scene in which Claire experienced a hallucination/prophetic vision was shot for this episode but cut for lack of running time."

Lost last night was only 58 minutes instead of the usual hour and a couple minutes. I really hope they don't start cutting out scenes the rest of the season so as to fit in extra Grey's scenes because Grey's ran long last night.

Sorry, I know there are a lot of fans of both shows, but I'd rather keep Lost intact personally than lose scenes because of Grey's.

how about the girl at the hotel's desk. Didn't she look a little scared of Ben?

Best post ever!!

And, yeah, I thought it was weird that Ben claimed to have gotten off the island by way of Des's boat. That just doesn't seem right to me.

OK I didn't find a clip of Locke blowing up Smokey...but I found a synopsis:

"On their way back to the Hatch, Jack and Kate see what seems a small cloud of black smoke move in an unnatural way through some near trees, followed by the rumbling of the "Monster". According to plan, Jack and Locke drop their packs, but Kate forgets and keeps hers on.
The "Monster" disappearing, after being dynamitedLocke wants to get a glimpse of the "Monster", and almost ends up under it. His leg becomes caught by the Monster, which drags him through the jungle. Jack grabs onto his arm and is dragged as well, and prevents Locke from getting dragged into a deep cavern underground.
Though Locke pleads with Jack to let him get dragged under, Jack instead tells Kate to grab dynamite out of his bag and drop one down, revealing that he had in fact switched the content of their packs. Kate drops the dynamite down the tunnel, causing an underground explosion, resulting in black smoke similar to that seen before coming out of a nearby hole on the horizon, moving in a bizarre, almost supernatural way, and disappearing, all in less than a second. The hold on Locke slackens, and they are able to extract him. Later, Locke reveals that the reason he wanted to fall in the cavern is because it was his destiny and he felt the Island was testing him."http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Exodus%2C_Part_2

The thing is knowing this show it could be anything. It could be an inside joke, a tip to what's going on, or just a commentary that Hurley knows his board games:

I found this on the how to win at risk wikipedia page (so it must be genuine knowledge )

The fact that you only need to keep your armies on one country and your continent is protected, is what gives those players who grab Australia at the outset of the game, such an edge.
