LOST - Season 5

[tangelo212]

Maybe the omniscient Richard shows up out of nowhere (like he always seems to do at critical moments) and cures Ben. He seems to have eternal life/youth, after all. Maybe he uses his/the Island's magical powers to cure the gunshot wound and bring Ben into the fold of the Hostiles, and become his mentor. He clearly already knows about Richard b/c he asked Sayid if he sent him.

I, too, am annoyed that there are so many loose ends that have seemingly been forgotten. And I don't mean like loose ends like things we can't figure out. I mean the stuff that they'll likely never come back to.

ETA: I also loved the part where the crunchy psychedelic 70s-style Sayid-analogue "torturer" gives Sayid truth serum, thinks it isn't working, and Sayid laughs knowingly/hysterically "IT WAS THE PERFECT AMOUNT!" So amazing.

One more question (we're going back a few seasons now).

Remember how Desmond was asking "Are you him?" (I think it was when he was in the hatch and he was all jittery and paranoid). Who was the "him"?
Walt? John Locke? Ben? Richard? Jacob?

Oh, and back when they kidnapped Walt, why did the Hostiles/Others want Walt to begin with? (sorry..I know this is back to Season #2 or #3). What were Walt's powers other than he could make birds fly into glass windows and stuff like that?

I always thought that when Desmond asked "Are you him?" he was asking if he (was he speaking to Locke in that scene--I can't remember) was the person who was going to replace him as the person who types in the numbers.

The Others seem to target people they want to come join their little society--Juliet to help with fertility, for example. They also targeted Locke all through his life prior to coming to the Island, although I'm not sure if that's because he told them he was their future leader when he was zapped back into the 50s or for some other reason/skill. So, maybe Walt's powers have some other purpose we don't know about yet that makes him attractive to the Others. Or, the fact that women can't concieve on the Island would make him more attractive too, since he was still a child when the series started.

I'm really hoping we haven't seen the last of Walt. I would hate for that story line to go unfinished.
