Any one into LOST or FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS?!

Sayid was used by Ben.  Sayid's wife was killed in an accident and Ben convinced Sayid that Widmore and his people killed her.  Since then Ben has used Sayid's grief and bitterness to go after Widmore's people.  But after his dialiog with Hurley, it looks like Sayid has come back to his senses.

Hugo/Hurley gave himself up to the police to get away from Ben and to keep from being dragged back to the island.  Remember Sayid telling Hurley that if he runs into Ben, not to believe anything Ben says to him and to do the complete opposite of whatever Ben tells him to do.

I've always liked Locke.  To me he is the chiild who always was so willing to give his heart to others (like his father who only wanted his kidney) and tried so hard to win the approval and love of those he loved.  He is childlike in his faith and tries to follow his moral compass and do the right thing, even though sometimes the moral compass is wrong.  I think he is the genuine one in all of this and probably why he was chosen by the island.

Sun blames Ben and some of the Oceanic 6 for Jin's death.  Even though she told Kate "I don't blame you", I think she really does since Kate is responsible for leaving Jin on the boat that exploded.. 

And I don't think Jin is really dead.   

So, what did everyone think about the suprise twist with Charles Widmore???  I was shocked but it sort of explains part and then raises more questions.

Hey - I failed to respond earlier but was nodding in agreement.  Yes - how weird was that??  So how did a young Widmore (a solider?) end up at the evil millionaire obsessed with finding the island?  Very interesting twist I must say!

God help me I love this show!

Lost is on tonight!!  Does anyone listen to the podcasts?  I love dissecting the show!!!

Have you heard the theory that Dan is really Charlotte's father? (He DOES love her and protects her like a father would!)  Since Charlotte is looking for were she was born (I missed that somehow) and because she is getting the nosebleeds it means she has spent time on the island before.  Dan was on the island when the Orchid was being built, and Miles could be Chang's son (remember there was a wife in bed and then he picked up a baby before he went to film the video)...... my brain hurts already.

Now we have a young & prego Rousseau saving Jen....

Can't wait for tonight's show!

...and they still haven't given any clues about what the smoke monster is all about.

The pendulum has something to do with time .........so I guess the pendulum can try to pinpoint "when" the island is rather than "where" it is.   (I'm guessing)

Good pick-up on Ellie and Eloise!!!

From the another site:

Miraculous Cures

Physical Issues:
Locke is able to walk after crashing on the island (from having been wheelchair-bound
Jack successfully performs a seemingly impossible surgery on the woman who becomes his wife, allowing her to walk once again
Jin's infertility has (apparently) been cure
Rose's illness seems to have been cured (possibly related to the magnetic properties of the part of the island they're on)

But I bet it's not magnetic properties that cured her, I bet it's the radiation from the island that cured her cancer.

Then there's that Pirate ship that is on the Island .. not along the shore!!

The Black Rock

Turns out it's an old, wooden, ship named the "Black Rock."
A visitor-submitted note: "either a brig or a full-rigged ship. Judging from the spars remaining on the front two masts and the mast on the ground, I would say a ship. She was square rigged (across the beam of the ship)."
A visitor-submitted note: "It is an 18th-early 19th century cargo ship. Its cargo was slaves and mining equipment"
A visitor-submitted note: " If you look closely, you can see that underneath the words "The Black Rock" on the ship is the word "Portsmouth." Portsmouth, U.K. was the location where the first ship set sail for Australia carrying convicts in the 1800s. I think it's far more likely that it's a convict ship instead of a slave ship."
A visitor-submitted note: "‘Black Rock' is another name for magnetite, the first discovered magnetic material, and still the strongest one ever found. Small crystals of magnetite can be found in the brains of bees, termites, some birds, and humans, and is thought to be responsible for the ability to sense the polarity or inclination of Earth's magnetic field-very useful for navigation."

I think the Valenzetti Equation was made up for Lost fans wasn't it?  I Googled and it seems to be faux book.  Cool theory in regards to why the numbers would be so important...

Let's start, however, with what we already knew before Season 5 aired. The main thing I want to point you to is the 2008 Comic Con video. For those of you who missed it - basically Lost cast and crew host a special Q&A session every year at the Comic Convention is San Diego. In 2007, they played a cool video for us featuring some time travelling bunnies. It was also the first mention of an Orchid station. In 2008, a character of the then current Lost ARG, Dharma Initiative Recruiting Project (which was about as innovative as its title), filmed another Pierre Chang video being played. Amongst other things, this new video revealed the guy's true name. It also featured a character called Lara off-camera, a baby, and a guy behind the camera with a suspiciously familiar voice.

So watch the video .......  the baby behind the scenes is Miles!!!!!

Oh Lilia, where are you??? I know you watched it, you saw it before me!!!

You're right, it was wicked good last night!!

Listened to the Dharmalar's podcast partway thru ... it was on the episode, "Because You Left" .. the season opener. They have a coooooooooo theory about how the Island moves or skips thru time, why it disappeared, and their theory totally helps to see why the Nigerian plane ended up on the island and why they only have 70 hours to get back!!!!

I was listening to another podcast on Lost and it said, to look at Richard's bare feet.  So does that mean it rules him out as the 4 toed model for the statue?  Or does it mean he or his people are part of the 4 toed people???

At Comic Con, the producers/writers said that Vincent, the dog, makes it all the way thru to the end of the show ... so that's Season 6.

All the character's have Daddy issues ..

Ben -- killed his dad, his dad always blamed him for the death of ben's mom --- she died in childbirth.

Jack -- Dad is alcoholic, killed a patient, had an affair, another child that Jack never knew about (Claire). 

Sawyer -- saw his parents be killed by a con man named, Sawyer.

Kate -- killed her abusive father.

Jin -- his dad ... oh gosh, loved him to bits, probably wasn't  even his dad, but Jin was son of prostitute, someone needed to care for the baby, so the fisherman raised him as his own but Jin was ashamed of him (not knowing the details of his birth)

Sun -- dad was controlling, head of Korean "mob" family.

Claire- never knew her dad til her mom was in a coma after a car accident -- Christian Shepherd

Charlie -- I think I read his dad was supportive of the boys being in the band, not sure ..

Penny -- dad is Widmore, need I say more???

 Ok ..... so daddy issues is a running theme.

Just found this thread. I'm a huge LOST fan. No one is allowed to talk to me on Wednesday nights. I love hating the Ben character. He's a bad guy disguised as a good guy who makes hard choices that people hate him for AND a good guy disguised as a bad guy to fool the real bad guys who are maybe the good guys trying to protect the others from the bad guy who is Ben (I think my head just exploded) Ben is a master at tricking everyone into precarious predicaments that leave his "victims" with no other choice but to believe or help or follow or trust him. Think I'll introduce Ben to my bc, it won't know what to do and in it's confusion, will jump out of my ear and into the gutter.
