Also, who else thinks Ben might have crashed the plane?

I don't think the plane crashed.

I dunno. Maybe not in the same sense as the first one, but the others on the island found that campsite with things from Tajira airlines. And it was obviously out of control, what with the hostess getting tossed around like nothing.

I think they found an oceanic plane though

Heh, just rewatching season 2 atm...I forgot they find that old school army knife in the "tailies" shelter...

LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH.

God, I love this show. I will be very sad when it's over, but hopefully very satisfied.

It's so cool to think about how far some of the stuff in the show has come. Like back when The Others first appears you just thought they were like these crazy jungle dwellers and now you find out Charles Widmore was their leader.

Honestly at this point I don't know who to trust. I like Ben as a character, but he is a real shady asshole. I don't think he knew what was going to happen to Locke when he got back to the island. I don't think he knew to go to Eloise Hawking either, until Locke said it.. that's why he suddenly did what he did, because he no longer needed Locke.

I want to believe Widmore, but it's hard not to think of him as the bad guy. I also wonder what kind of intentions Ben really has at this point.

Michael Emerson plays the role of Ben so very very good. Ever since he first showed up, he's been this character where you're just not sure what the hell he is up to, and always seems to know more than he is letting on. Even when he gives you answers, or when he seems surprised, it seems like he's just totally in control of everything.

^^^

Totally agree, Ben is probably one of the best character I've seen across all of TV and film and it's down to both brilliant writing excellant acting. The fact that there is this ability for you to absolutely hate him at the start of the episode yet at the end really like him is something that is incredibly hard to pull off and yet Lost manages to do it consistantly throughout it's episodes.

Anyway was a good episode, I notice we seme to be getting a few fill in the blanks episodes lately which is great.

Except they create more questions than answers :p

Also, twas a great ep...god I hate having to wait so long for the next one though...

There was a major rumor going around that Evangaline Lilly was looking for new shows to audition for. Apparently this picked up some major steam and everyone began to assume that her charachter was gunna be killed off soon. But her rep came out and said the audition rumo was absolutely false.

Breaking: Is Evangeline Lilly leaving 'Lost'?

No!

That's what multiple sources are telling me in response to a rumor that Lost's top heroine, Evangeline Lilly, may be leaving the show before it reaches its natural conclusion in May 2010.

"We have no idea how this rumor got started," maintains Lilly's rep, "and whoever started it didn’t call us or ABC to verify the validity of it, for which there is none."

Buzz about Lilly's possibly premature exit stemmed from a report on Zap2it.com that claimed the actress was actively searching for a new TV gig -- one that would launch this fall. But as an ABC source points out, she's under contract with Lost through the sixth and final season, and there's absolutely nothing to suggest she'll be sprung before then.

Phew, crisis averted.

You know the show is HUGE when rumors like this start making huge news.

I have a feeling Jack is going to die by the end of the show. Just a gut feeling. He is also the only cast member who knows the ending to the show.

I still think Jack will end up being Jacob...and I will be dissapointed because of it...

I get the feeling that somehow Jack will have to put his life in Locke's hands and finally trust him. Which way they then go with that is anybody's guess.

Locke is slowly creeping up into the Jack Bauer level for me. He's becomming one of my favorite charachters of all time.

Locke is incredible...

I'm actually abit upset that there has been a very large lack of Sawyer lately :(

Regarding the statue (photos too big so I spoilered them)




looks alot like this...spoilered for size

Anubis? They're Egyptian?

The island puts you in Tunisia. Maybe there is something in Tunisia that puts you on the island.

Completely random, but am I the only one who thinks that Radzinsky is Mikhail (Radzinsky being the guy in the hatch before Desmond and Kelvin)

Well, Horace's wife had the necklace from her husband, and the necklace was an egyptian ankh.

Yeah also in the statues hands it looks like it's holding the same symbol.

Also, I've alwasy rooted for Sawyer/Kate rather than Jack/Kate so now I don't know what to think about the whole Juliet thing.

he's been there for me since the show started.

Totally stole this idea from the lostpedia.com forums.

Horus is a god of the Ancient Egyptian religion, most commonly known by the Greek version Horus, of the Egyptian Heru/Har. Horus was an ancient and important deity. He was also the son of Isis and Osiris. Some details of the character are changed or intermixed with other characters throughout the different dynasties and Egyptian cults and religions. For example, when Heru (Horus) fuses with Ra the Sun God, he becomes Ra-Horakhty.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>
The Eye of Horus became an important Egyptian symbol of power. Horus had a man's body and a falcon's head. Horus fought with Seth for the throne of Egypt. In this battle one of his eyes was injured and later it was healed by Hathor. This healing of the eye became a symbol of renewal. Horus united Egypt and bestowed divinity upon the pharaohs who were viewed as incarnations of Horus in life.

I guess that would make Richard into Seth.

Seth is one of the oldest of the Egyptian gods first appearing between 4000-3500 BCE.The ancient Egyptian God of storms and of the desert. The rival of Horus. Seth was also the god that protected the pharaohs from the evil serpent Apophis and was a companion of the sun god Amun-Ra and represented balance in the universe and central to the Egyptian concept of duality.
Depicted with a man's body and head of an animal with a long nose and squared ears. His wife was his sister the goddess Nephthys, a protector of the dead.


In Genesis Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve and the only child mentioned by name besides Cain and Abel. Born when Adam was 130 years old (Genesis 5:3), Seth was "a son in his likeness and image." Genesis 5:4 states that Adam fathered "sons and daughters" before his death, aged 930 years. It is stated in the Bible that Seth probably means "granted".

Excellent episode. As good as this season has been, it's nice to have an ep more about a character and an arc that a bunch of sci-fi twists and turns. All the same, there was still the shot of the statue, which is one of those Lost moments that everyone is going to scrutinize and theorize about. Love it.

That opens a whole bunch of questions too. Her deceased husband was a member of the Dharma Initiative. The Dharma Initiative was supposedly only on the island since the 1970s so it's pretty much assured that they didn't build the statue. So why did that guy have the ankh?

I'd assume the statue even predates the others being on the island.

Incredible episode...This season is wicked. Probably my favourite yet (so far anyway).

Also there has to be a reason why they picked the angle they did to reveal the statue. There has to be something distinguishing about the front of the statue other than whether it has the head of a falcon or a jackal. Maybe the statue is of a woman.

Maybe the statue has the face of Ben Linus :shifty:
