loved the reappearance of the vw bus btw - the island always delivers w/those details

If Frank is meant to be on the island, then presumably he'd have been pulled out of the plane in the flash, just like jack/hurley/kate, right? Which would leave the plane without a pilot. So yeah, seems more likely that the rest of the passengers would end up crashing than flying on to Guam.

maybe the island sometimes moves to near BERMUDA

i feel like ive said this before but one of the things i love love love about this show is its use of the earnest 70s new-age science shit that dharma does (incl. the richard alpert reference which my parents have a guffaw about every wed)--i feel like that milieu (or whatever) doesnt show up often enough in sci fi
― max, Friday, 20 February 2009 14:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah Frank is so going back to the Island. I bet the creepy guy who's following them is as well (some Widmore lackey maybe). Interesting that Ben didn't seem bothered by his presence, maybe he intended him to be there, or maybe he just didn't care. It was Hurley who was most concerned about minimising the number of passengers on the plane.

I bet he was born on the island.

It isn't for no reason it is to find Jin, and to stop Juliet, Sawyer etc from dying.
but why though? i can understand wanting to find Jin but why would the O6 not leaving mean that the rest wouldn't die? If they hadn't left, wouldn't they also be time-skipping, and nose-bleeding with the rest and they would still have to go and fix the wheel anyway? it's totally not clear why the O6 needed to be on the island aside from some vague destiny still unfulfilled. but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with saving the ones left behind.

Don't worry, God is his co-pilot.
― Pancakes Hackman, Friday, 20 February 2009 14:53 (fifteen years ago) link
the problem with finding out why is that Locke is the person who's supposed to have told them why they needed to go back, but so far Locke only knows what we know. xp
― Pacey Twitter (Roz), Friday, 20 February 2009 14:57 (fifteen years ago) link
so Hurley brought a guitar because Charlie had a guitar right? i suppose the island is looking for 'an effort' to be made by each of them in this respect. and it's the thought that counts.
maybe Kate just gave Aaron to Claire's Mum (but then why the secrecy).

interesting continuity mistake this week - the actor who played the dharma security guard at the end has been used already as a different character in a bunch of episodes

i guess they'll say re Ben's "my mother taught me" that it was a joke and that Ben is sick enough to joke about his Mom that he never even met.

I'd like to see that plane when Frank and the O6 vanish in midair-- the stewardesses would probably think they'd ended up in a Tim LaHaye novel.
― President Keyes, Friday, 20 February 2009 17:39 (fifteen years ago) link
they'd probably have other things on their mind.

Bah. Anyway:
The words from his father prompt Ben to run out of the house. He runs to the sonic fence, but stops just before he reaches it. He hears a brief whisper, then his mother appears on the other side of the fence. He goes to move towards her but she shouts, "Don't!" She says it's not time yet. Ben yells to her, then turns to go back home.
― Pancakes Hackman, Friday, 20 February 2009 17:46 (fifteen years ago) link
ok but the point is she dead and why didn't he say 'father'

by the way british people its called a "joke" and many people from your fair isle have been practitioners of this noble art form

yeah max otm, apart from "fair isle", ben is obviously just joking, it's not like it matters if he knew/didn't know his mother, many people are taught to read by parents=LOL
also yeah, loved ben's "who cares!"
I initially thought the letter from Locke would say "Ben is not supposed to get back to the island and he was all mangled and beaten up cos he'd somehow cheated fate". Shame that didn't happen. When he was on the phone to Jack he looked like someone had just given birth to him.
― Local Garda, Friday, 20 February 2009 18:11 (fifteen years ago) link
thought it was pretty f-ed up of locke to lay a guilt trip on jack like that, with his last words
― max, Friday, 20 February 2009 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link
After the show is all over I hope Cuse/Lindelof will go into a little detail about what (if anything) changed in the overall show bible/mythology when they gave Ben more prominence.
― WmC, Friday, 20 February 2009 18:16 (fifteen years ago) link
none i think. they were going to introduce a Ben-type character anyway, it just wasn't clear whether Michael Emerson would play him or not.
