LOST - Season 5

[tangelo212]

Ok, I like this posting in white thing. I have a few thoughts myself.

First of all, the time shifts=the worst migraine ever. If you've never had a migraine, watch LOST and you will know.

I understood Charlotte's comment about Daniel the same way Senusret did, I didn't really notice her say "old," but assumed it was b/c she was a little kid and he was whatever age, just older than she. Plus, we already knew he was there b/c we saw him in the Orchid station when DHARMA was building it.
I'm trying to remember if perhaps we saw Charlotte in the schoolroom as one of the DHARMA little kids..... Also, who was Ben's childhood friend? Remember that one little nice girl? I don't think it was Charlotte because if I remember correctly that little girl died (this is WAY back, my memory may be fuzzy here)??? But anyway, it would be interesting if they had shown Charlotte as a little DHARMA kid in the 70s... maybe I'll do some research and go back to that episode.

Ok, if Jack's dad (who I still take as a messenger, then didn't say he was Jacob or anything in this episode) has such issues with Ben and Locke not following his instructions about moving the island literally to the T (that Locke had to do it and not Ben), then there should be an issue this time. He told Locke to "give it a little push," but then Locke PULLS the wheel!!! AGGHHH THE WORLD WILL END! Actually, I don't think this has to do with anything, I just get excited when I think I outsmart the show's writers

I wrote a lot about the engagement ring episode where Hawking and Desmond meet a few pages back on here... the episode name escapes me at the moment.

This might already have been addressed in the show and I'm just forgetting, but why did Alex (D Rousseau's daughter) think Ben was her dad? I seem to remember that he kidnapped her??? I don't remember why she was with him and why she believed he was her father.

If Ben is flawed... then why does E Hawking trust him... Honestly, I agree that his illusions of grandeur are just that-- illusions and that he is a mere pawn in the grander scheme of things. Either Hawking trusts him or she is just using him.

Also, do you think that if Locke had made it back to the real world alive, he would have told Sun what Jin wanted him to tell her, that he is dead? Or do you think he would have told her the truth to supposedly "save" the island, essentially sacrificing Jin's wishes? I'm giving Ben the "Ben"efit (badump ching) of the doubt here and guessing he just took the ring off Locke after he was dead and didn't know Jin's true wishes, though it is questionable if he would have honored them or not.
