Episode 7: The Life and Death of Jeremy Benthem

The episode that we have been waiting for since we found out Locke was in the coffin. And the first person we see in the episode is a new character: Ceaser

We dont know much about him except he has assumed a semi leadership status among the new crashers or 316ers, and he likes to hide guns. A mysterious character, we dont know much about him...of course. But something tells me he holds some importance.

We also find out in this first scene that the pilot and some woman took an outrigger that was already on the Hydra or "Alcatraz" Island that the 316'ers crashed on...or did they successfully land?

So the Pilot was Frank...and I'm guessing the other woman is Sun...since we have no idea where she is.

It was also pointed out in some theory's that i have read that the map that ceaser found in the station in the first scene was Daniel's map. Which further proves my theory that the losties get sent back in time live there for a while among the dharma while just trying to survive. From the preview of next weeks episode, I think were going to find out for sure.

Next we see Abbadon, and then Charles Widmore. And I dont know, but now i think hes the good guy.

We find out that Locke was transported three years into the future, that Widmore has been watching the Tunsinia site that Locke and Ben both exited out of the Island, and that Ben tricked him into being exiled as well. He sounded so sincere. And after all Ben has done...I'm tending to lean over to Widmore's side.

His explanation for the freighter people: "I needed to extract Ben Linus." He just hired the wrong people to do it. Cause seriously I dont think he would have had them kill Alex. He has his own daughter after all.

Onto Penny. Some have been doing the math on this one and think that she is the daughter of Chrales and someone else that we dont know yet and was born on Island. Now imagine if that person was Juliet? Maybe, but probably not. Or maybe shes the daughter of Widmore and Eloise Hawking which would make her Daniel Faraday's Half or maybe even full sister??? Oh the implications. We will have to wait and find out.

We also see Matthew Abbadon..someone who has been in an almost haunting state on this show so far. He works for Widmore and he "gets people where they belong." I began to like him even more, because this meant that he was special...and I begin to wonder...how much else has he influenced the characters??? But alas....Ben kills him!!! Evil ben...another reason why I want someone to kill that dude. Or beat him up at least. Now I do love the actor, Michael Emerson is fabulous...and deserves an Emmy, plus hes from where I live, so thats always a plus.

Locke visits Sayid who is building homes...yeah for him!! doing some good in this world after what Ben has put him through. He seems happy doing it. Until Locke comes around gives him his shpeel. Which begs me to wonder.

Why did Sayid come back to the U.S? Why did he break Hurley out? Or how did he know he needed to?

Locke then goes to visit Walt!! Finally we see him again...Though I seriously hope we see more of him in the future. Walt tells Locke that hes having dreams about him. more signs that he is special. So where is he going to pop up next.

Kate's visit goes normally, but I was kinda hopping we would see Locke with Aaron.

Next he goes to visit his old girlfriends grave, abbadon gets killed by ben, Locke gets in a car accident and winds up in Jacks hospital realizing that Christian is Jacks father.

Locke being depressed tries to kill himself, but Ben stops him, just to kill Locke himself when Locke mentiones Eloise Hawking and goes all bug eyed. So what does this mean? Did Ben usurp Locke to Eloise? Is Eloise only helping Ben for a reason?

We then get back to the Island, and we end with Locke finding Ben who had been hurt in the 316 crash...dead, alive? Im guessing alive...they wouldnt kill him off so easily.

So at the end of this episode what do I think:

Lost is awesome...but we already knew that.

Theory: Dead people who come to the Island are resurrected, or become alive again, weve seen it with Christian, and weve seen it with Locke. So maybe Jacob is the same way?

All in all a great episode, kept us on our toes, and left us wanting for more. Best of all written by team Darlton. Every episode written by them is a gem. Why cant they write everyone...well they do have a show to run.

Till Next time. keep reading and watching Lost

Theory regarding cast photos

New theory: In the full cast photo with everyone in it, except Jin, most people are wearing dark colors. Only 3 people are wearing bright blue that stand out.

John Locke, Charlotte, and Daniel Faraday.

We already know that Charlotte has died, as has John Locke.

So I think that this is a clue, Daniel Faraday is going to die.

Good thing, bad thing?

Theory way out there?

Let me know.

Lost Season 5 Episode 6: 316

As we soon found out this episodes title revolved around name of the flight that the Oceanic 5ish would go on. Which then got me to thinking would that mean the pilot episode could be renamed 815?

You've got to love it when the writers take us back to the very beginning. We started with Jacks Eye, and we come to it again with this episode.

Overall it was a great episode with some great moments between characters, even if it was just eye contact like it was between Sayid and Jack.

However this episode also brought up alot more questions for me?

Number one on my list: Where/what happend to Aaron?

I got to thinking on this one and I came up with a few options.

a. he is with Kate's mother

b. he is with Cassidy

c. he is with Desmond and Penny, because Kate knows she can trust them.

d. someone with a more sinister plan took Aaron away from her.

Kate just looked so depressed and with out hope in that scene, that something tells me its more like a D. Which by the way Props to Evangaline in that scene. She did great.

Ben said you all have to go back...so why isn't Aaron included in that? But Frank Lapidus, and John's dead body is. Which after this weeks preview I have a strong suspicion that John will be reincarnated, or his body will be reanimated like Jack's father's was.

Speaking of Jack it was nice to see his grandfather, though why have that scene in the first place....Is he important to everything? He might be, but he also might not, you never know.

As for suspicious characters two people were on 316 that we met briefly, so you have to know that they are important.

The man with unknown background
and the woman escorting Sayid in handcuffs. I know I saw her in the preview.

That brings up another question. Why is Sayid in police custoday?

there has been a lot of talk about proxys. if John is Christian's proxy, then is Sayid Kate's proxy. Which then got someone to thinking on a after the show pod cast i was on...is Kate Claire's proxy? Is she pregnant? I dont know, but it will be very cool to find out.

Also after seeing the previews for next week episode it got me to thinking even more. Did John really kill himself? Maybe he was forced to kill himself as there was no other option. In the preview we saw someone kneeling in front of him, and im pretty sure it was Ben.

This episode we also got a lot of christian refrences. We know our doubting thomas is Jack. So maybe our Jesus is John? Then who is Ben? John the Baptist?? lol I really dont know on that one. But I do think John will be resurected like Jesus was.

Another question: Why would Sun just leave Ji Yeon behind in Korea. Sure she's with her grandmother. But she's her daughter. I for one would take her with me. But maybe she didnt have enough time.

We also had an encounter between Hawking and Desmond. Part of me wanted Des to slap her for what he put him through. Then she said he had to go back too, that the island wasn't done with him yet.

And while i want Desmond and Penny to have a happy ending, I don't think its going to be that easy. Maybe even Penny and little Charlie will go to the island as well. That could be very very interesting to watch.

The end of the episode gave us one of our greatest moments when Jack, Kate, and Hurely meet a dharma clad Jin.

During the episode I kept flashing back to the scene where the left behinders found the Ajira airways water bottle. So I was thinking that that scene was set in the future and the Oceanic 6 were being shot at by the left behinders and vice versa, because they didnt recognize each other from such a distance.

But after this episode, that theory got blown away in a few minutes, as the oceanic 5 met up with Jin in the past. So how to get to the present?

Where are the rest of the people?

What happend to John after he fixed the Wheel?

Where is everyone now, and when are they?

This episode answered alot of questions but it also gave us so many more. We will just have to wait and see untill next week.

As the week goes on I will post ideas, theories, and anything I come across that I find interesting and give my perspective on. I hope you enjoy.

Lost

I am starting a blog today on Lost. Because there are so many things to discuss, I figured it was time to get my voice out there.

In this blog I will review episodes, give my theories, and anything Lost wise that I think of.
