Welcome to the watching live thread!!! Please try to keep the posts topicy and have something more to say besides "Look at what Kate did!!!!" or "OMG!!!".

Enjoy!!!

It was already on in Atlantic Canada.

and it was fantastic....

and it was fantastic....

it was indeed. Very intense.

Finally!!!!

I know, it's like Christmas today or something! I've been so excited all day!

Happy episode everyone. It's been a long 4 weeks!

hoorah! LOST is back

I thought I was the only one who thought that. My friends love it. Blaaaah.

Now she is going to start with Jack again!!! AGH!

kate you're such a floozy

The triangle is back!~

Maybe Jack is pregnant???!!! !HAHAHAHA!

Vincent is going crazy...a body?

Awww, it's good to see Vincent again. He's so good at finding dead things. Okay, who is it?

the doctor is dead!

the doctor committed suicide!?!

I've been looking forward to this.

Yeaaaaah.....Hurley!

lol
i love when they do that

Australia is the key to the whole game...is that telling?

something wicked this way comes....
Ahhh, the fair daughter

I don't believe Hurley's "We're all gonna die" was about Risk! I hate it when they tease us like that!

This is not looking good for Alex.

So obviously those commandos know what the fence is. But I think the code Alex put it made the phone ring

that's a lotta guns

I knew it was the Mercs and not Ben's henchmen

A warning code entered from the fence?

code 14J? The Fence Is Off!!!

holy cow...they have a trigger on the fence

I knew it. I knew it was a game!

Whoever called that it was the military guys from the boat, seems to be right.

Yay! Exciting beginning.

Showdown at Casa del Locke

wow this episdoe is starting up quick!

Ben plays Rakhmaninov. I wonder if it means anything that he's a goof pianist. The Rakhmaninov Prelude in C# minor is a HARD piece of music!

Hurley, go start up the VW bus....

I hope they pack a lot into this episode - it seems like a lot is supposed to happen. Can't wait to see Smokey!

Look on Ben's face was priceless....

I knew it. I knew it was a game!

Whoever called that it was the military guys from the boat, seems to be right.

Yay! Exciting beginning.

I was wondering why they would of had an MP5 ( the rifle they were shooting targets with). It's a German made military weapon...the true comes out

Did anyone see USA Today today? There was a whole article full-page on Lost with input from Damon and Carl

Someone help me out here, I cam in late! Did we get any more insight into whether or not Danielle is really dead?

I'm no pianist, so I wondered what piece Ben was playing. Should be an exciting episode!

I don't care for the time change. I wish this was on at 9. I am very impatient, I just tried to "zap" the commercial....to bad it didn't work.:biggrin: :biggrin:

Someone help me out here, I cam in late! Did we get any more insight into whether or not Danielle is really dead?
Not yet

Ben flash....what

Ben plays Rakhmaninov. I wonder if it means anything that he's a goof pianist. The Rakhmaninov Prelude in C# minor is a HARD piece of music!

To me I just thought he had a lot of time on his hands on the island.

Ben flash...back? Forward? Did he just come back from time-slipping?

WTF?!!! Ben in the desert? I smell time shift

omgwtfbbq ben flashback to desert polar bear?

WHOLLY CRAP!! Dharma / Ben in the desert!?!? Looking like he was just teleported there, or something...

Parka in the desert...that can't be good. This is a different desert than where they found the polar bear though, isn't it?

Ben time traveling...I guess it makes you puke (if you're Ben)

Gotta be a flash-forward. He's wearing a DHARMA coat, and he's not on the island.

Martian Time Slip

The name on the jacket was Halliwax!

wow that was a pretty badass move by ben

Nice piece o' toughness from Ben!

Ben is James Bond?

HAHA...butt stroke to the face

THIS IS SO EXCITING
I figured this epi would be Ben related. He's in the Sahara? This is the greatest show ever, and Ben's amazing<3

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Ben wakes up in shock in the sahara desert in a heavy coat with the Dharma symbol. And his six. So......travel. With a possible wound.

And Ben has not offically pass Rambo as toughest MOFO on the planet. ROFL

Did Ben somehow jump? Is that how the polar bear got to the desert?

Wow! Ben the action star!

The name on the jacket was Halliwax!Wow! Great catch!

It's very importent that Locke lives? I wonder why?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Ben wakes up in shock in the sahara desert in a heavy coat with the Dharma symbol. And his six. So......travel. With a possible wound.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...awesome.

Oh, you just knew Daniel had to be evasive on any "when" question.

When is kind of a relative term.

That's a classic

The doc's throat is slit? When is a relative term?

Wow! Great catch!


Thanks! I couldn't quite tell what the Dharma symbol was supposed to be - The Orchid is the bunny though, right?

snipers!!!

Well, looks like Ben might have been right about them wanting to kill everyone.

Who are all these dead people?

And they have RPG's?!!

These people are good shots who ever they are


CLAIRE!!!!

Thank You Jack Bender

Did Claire just get blown up?!?!?!?

did claire die?

Um...tell me Claire didn't just die...

wtf
they have fucking rpg's? what kind of resistance were they expecting
lol

Oh No! Did Claire die? Is that why Kate has Aaron? :(

OMG - does Claire die? IS that how Kate gets Aaron??? OOOO this is soo good already!!!!Finally, ABC actually ran a true promo. Imagine that?!

Now we know why Aaron leaves the island without Claire. You writers have GOT to be kidding me! I am SOOOO pissed.

These guys advertise on HULU

Okay . . . first rule of lost . . .we didn't see, so it might not have happened . . . calm calm calm . . .

this is stupid, i mean come on you just saw 2 people get killed and you're going to run out to the very exact spot were they just got popped. give me a break, he deserved to be killed.

We didn't see Claire die. You're jumping

Claire could not have died just then!!!

Claire's not dead.

Just saying...


Also, Haliwax??? Awesome. :)

Tell me they DIDN'T just kill Claire!

We didn't even get to see Claire in the episode she gets picked off in? I'm going to say no way, Claire is still alive.

Never a good idea with this show

If Sawyer doesnt keep moving, hes going to get clapped.

Was Ben shivering when he appeared in the desert?

this is stupid, i mean come on you just saw 2 people get killed and you're going to run out to the very exact spot were they just got popped. give me a break, he deserved to be killed.

Plus, he had the convenient red shirt on.

Yes, they do love to lead us down one path and then pull the rug out from under us. While I think Claire's days are numbered, I hope that wasn't the last of her.

Ben seems to have adjusted nicely

Okay...working the Tunisia connection...

They're killing off *everyone*! This has to stop!

not Claire!

hope claire wasn't in that house...

On The Road

So, if this is a flashfoward then do you think this is where Sayid meets up with Ben?

Back to Tansina..sorry can't spell...Moriaty....literature again

Dean Moriarty, let the anagrams begin. Tunisia again? Weird date stuff again? Aah!!

it IS the same desert as the polar bear

Sayid? Wife?

Moriarty? Hmmmm A bit of a Sherlock Homes reference.

It's 2005? He went to the future?

Was Ben shivering when he appeared in the desert?And why was he wearing a winter coat?

Wow, they gave us a clear date. October 21st 2005. Sayid wants to "bury his wife in peace?"

So that is how Sayid hooks up with Ben....Wife?

Was Ben shivering when he appeared in the desert?


I thought it looked like he was - also like there was frost around him. I don't believe they just laid out the date like that. So forthcoming! And Sayid has a wife? Gotta be Nadia!

The question now is not what time the flashes are... but what time Ben came from...

noo...Nadia can't be dead, assuming that is Sayid's wife.

Dean is Neal Cassidy in On The Road by Jack Kerouac

Flash forward for Ben / Dean Moriarti, Oct 25 2005...

Ben needs Locke -- and Hurley -- to get to and communicate with Jacob!

Claire's alive!

Baby Moses!

He said the date was 10/25/2005, how can this be a flashforward?

Claire's not dead, but she doesn't look good.

Sawyer doing something nice? How can that be?

Well, at least she's okay for now...

aw Hurley's a nice guy

Way to go Hurley.

They rang the door bell....LOL

They ring the doorbell?

He said the date was 10/25/2005, how can this be a flashforward?

Claire's not dead, but she doesn't look good.

Sawyer doing something nice? How can that be?


It's late 2004 on the island...

another commercial break!!!!!!!!!

Yay! Claire is ok.

Does he have a bomb in that backpack?

He said the date was 10/25/2005, how can this be a flashforward?Because it's still December of 2004 on the Island. Unless you ask Daniel, who would just say something evasive.

Is it me, or is there more commercial breaks tonight than usual...??? 3rd in 25min? that's just sad....

Good action episode with cryptic flash forward...

yeah these commercial breaks are killing me.

It's late 2004 on the island...

Thanks, all this time shifting, it's hard to keep the date straight.

Is it me, or is there more commercial breaks tonight than usual...??? 3rd in 25min? that's just sad....

Haven't you heard, television is back to normal. :)

yeah these commercial breaks are killing me.
And why does there have to be an Oprah spot every break? I'm sick of that woman

Ben's flash is something new, isn't it?

Moriarty was the name on the passport that Sayid found in Bens secret room

Poor you; I'm not getting any Oprah spots

holy crap, in the first 24 minutes, 3 commerical breaks? WTF?

Oh he did marry Nadia . . . I wonder what happened

So...Sayid married Nadia?

Plus, he had the convenient red shirt on.LOL!

We're in Tikrit? Ben is looking for Sayid, maybe?

Mr. Underhill I presume?

It is nadia...and yep 2005 sounds right...the soldiers uniforms are still DCU's with some ACU stuff ....good continuity by the show

Now I remember why I just wait, pay the $2 and download it from iTunes tomorrow afternoon...

Ben gets around...now in Iraq for Nadia's funeral (if that is in fact what it is...)

It is Nadia. Ben's in Iraq now. This must be how him and Sayid get together.

why the heck are Sayid (and US Troops) in Tunisia?

anyone recognize that guy?

I wonder who Baldy is. Is Ben making a list? Checking it twice? Oop! Did Sayid just see him, I wonder? Yup! I guess so!

He doesn't look familiar to me.

Pretty much everyone in Iraq wears some kinda hat. Because it's so hot there and the sun is so intense. Only a rank amature could be found so easily.

Now we know how Ben got to Sayid...But. Is Ben the side we want to back or not?

Ben took Desmond's boat to get off the island!

Aww! Nadia was the wife? :cry:

Sayid saw you Ben. No use hiding!

That's why Sayid is helping him!

Ben has to be lying about the boat though, why would he do that?

We're the Good Guys, Michael

It was Nadia! And I love how Ben works his resources.

I bet anything Ben is manipulating again

Ben could just be making all that stuff up to manipulate Sayid some more...

Now I guess we know why Sayid works for Ben.

Ben has to be lying about the boat though, why would he do that?Why must he be lying about the boat?

Meanwhile Ben told Alex to just say she was his daughter. She had no chance once she stood up and started talking.

It is the guy from the boat.

Why must he be lying about the boat?

Because we saw him land in the middle of the desert in a parka - something about taking a boat to Figi then chartering a plane doesn't add up with parka in the desert to me.

That's the captain!

Well this guy isn't just some muscle head with no brains after all

Ben, of course, knows everything about everyone.

Dont Kill Alexxxx

Does Keamy sound like he's crying?

Because we saw him land in the middle of the desert in a parka - something about taking a boat to Figi then chartering a plane doesn't add up with parka in the desert to me.Um...good point. Well, maybe he took the boat part way. Actually, he just said he took the boat to Fiji and chartered a plane. Maybe he jumped out of a plane over the desert.

I hope Smokie gets Keamy.....they turned off the fence.

The heading to Fiji?? I wonder at what point after 325 or 315, Ben would make the turn to Fiji.

According to this current flash-forward:
Ben -> sailed to Fiji -> chartered plane to Iraq; all within 5 days of learning and acquiring the photo of Widmore's guy in LA.

Cool...its the guy from the boat.

Omg Alex!!!!!

Oh no! He just popped Alex!

Noooooooo Alex!!!

no way
man Ben is a moron

No!!!!!


ugh!!!!! nooooooo

OMG! No way! Ben couldn't talk himself out of that one.

Well, that look on Ben's face was very Hitchcock-ish!

He shot Alex????? I can't believe it. I guess Ben didn't count on that.

OMGOMG...I never thought I'd feel sorry for Ben!!!

Didn't see that coming

I don't believe that just happened! I like how Ben was almost trying to talk himself into the fact that he doesn't really care about Alex.

Holy Moly!!! Alex is dead. This season is a freaking blood bath.

OMG Alex

Okay, we know that Patchy survived alot......can the island heal a gunshot to the head?

What the carp! I so totally did not see them doing that to Alex!!

Oh. NO.

didn't see that coming

wow. first time a gunshot on a tv show ever gave me goosebumps.

I definitely did not see that coming! I had the same exact look on my face as Ben.

Wow. I'm really at a loss for words right now. I can't believe that happened. I knew the freighties were going to have to do somethign really bad but 3 somewhat main characters in back to back episodes.

Well, Rousseau will get him good, yup, she aint dead, no way and he's gonna pay big time!!

too many people are dying too fast
maybe Ben will go incredible hulk now

or just slowly take his revenge ofver time

she ain't dead. They told her t fake it to trick ben or they would kill her

People on this island, especially Others, never seem to stay dead...she might be back? I hope?

So what's going on in Ben's mind...

Wow. Think something up BEN!!! DO ITTT

Ben and widmore had an agreement

Out of all the deaths on Lost. That one hurt me the most. But now more then ever. I have Ben's back.

And for the record. Handcock looks awsome.

Ben is going to lose it on somebody. What rules? Secret passage...bad ***!

Okay Ben has a secret closet that leads...?

Where the heck is ben going?

I hate Ben with the fire of a thousand suns.

WTF!! A secret room within a secret room! Awesome! More questions though...

Another Hatch? In hs closet? That's gotta be how he time travels.

Ben's gonna go all Death Wish

Ben is not very good at watching people . . .

He would not make a good spy

Well, telling his real name was pretty forthright. But I guess it didn't matter much.

Jeebus Sayid is ticked!!!

And Sayid= Badass
always

"He broke the rules"
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAYID! Who woulda thought?! This is awesome.

There are some great lines in this epi..."That should do it" ROFL

Ben waxes philosophical

HAHAHA! Ben has such a great sense of humor!

Glad to see Sayid did get to marry Nadia.

Poor Sayid :(

Wow, wrath of God time. Neither of them have any ties now.....time to go medieval of there backsides.

So Sayid VOLUNTEERED to work for Ben!

Message...for Widmore? Well, there you go, that's how Sayid gets started. Ben's declared War on Widmore because of Alex. Sayid joins because of Nadia....well this explains the partnership between the two of the them.

well theres a big question answered. now getting ready for 5 more new questions.

So this is turning into Ben's revenge saga

Wow... Sayid just said that he MURDERED his wife, Nadia.

you see the sly smile as Ben walked away... it's all a con

Is Sawyer falling for Claire?

Gonna need to see the screen caps of this secret door - all kinds of crazy markings on it!

Sawyer to Claire:

"You all right, sweetheart?"

I KNEW IT!!!

As far as the flash forward goes. I hope that Ben and Sayid kill every last one of them.

Also....At this point in time. I'd fight and kill for Ben too. And it looked like the others did control Smokey. Or at least had a way to get in contact with him....

Here comes smokey.

Ben's house is a Transformer!

BEN CONTROLS SMOKEY!

Smokie!

Yeaaaah Smokie

Ben has smokey controls!!!

omg ben summoned smokey

Sweet! He called Smokey!

Smoky looks a tad bit pissed . . . anyone agree?

Did Ben just summon Smokey?

Ben unleashed Hell

Jacob sent the smoke monster to kill the soliders

Ben trapped Smokey in the Barracks?

That's one PISSED OFF Smokey! Lightning and all in the smoke!

I've been waiting all season for that

It's SMOKEY!!!! Ben does control him. There's no other explanation. I've never seen it so big!!! Smokey is the security system.

I can't believe I'm starting to like Ben!

Hi Gregg! :wavey:

Sawyer to Claire:

"You all right, sweetheart?"

I KNEW IT!!!
I think he just thinks of her as a little sister

Thank you to the writer who thought this up.....I've been waiting for Smokie to kick some tushy.

Now that's some shock and awe.

The show, like life, is merciless

Smoky looks a tad bit pissed . . . anyone agree?
I have to agree with you on that one :biggrin:

WOW! This is a great episode!
So nice to have Lost back!

Goodness these commercials are taking away from my Lost time for realz

But unlike life, LOST does have an Intelligent Design

she ain't dead. They told her t fake it to trick ben or they would kill her

what do you know?

I've been watching recorded TV, I want to zap the commercials.

Now that's some shock and awe.

No Kidding

So it is safe to say Omar and Keamy from here on out are flashbacks or dead bodies...

Anyone know Morse Code? To decode that?

Wow . . . did the professor make that for them?

Um...Daniel is lying...Even I knew that...But GO BERNARD!

Guys? Please try to stay away from spammy posts with only one word, okay?

ETA: Hey Gregg! :)
