That would explain his (seemingly secretive) knowledge of the island and Dharma…And his present-day looking self at the Orchid station when it’s being built. I think his shpeal about not being able to change the past is a crock because it seems that he’s trying to change some past event[s]. Re-watch the video with this in mind and let me know what you think.someGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402423805008884314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-62515666336415758382009-01-23T14:53:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:53:00.000-05:00Great recaps, as always!!

That scene with the flying-flaming arrows I think was a past moment not a future moment. Im pretty sure those were Dharma employees, PAST Dharma employees. I think what we witnessed soldiers/personnel of the Arrow Station, you know showcasing their “defensive strategies against the Island's Hostiles.” And if this is correct, it could explain Daniel’s presence in the Orchid Station during its construction AND it also explains that weird video we saw back in August…the one where we hear Pierre talk about the future with Daniels voice in the background—you remember??? Me thinks our Losties are going to be stuck in this time line for a while and Daniel’s trying to do some future-changin’.<BR/><BR/>I seriously think that Whidmore was the original Others CEO and was somehow duped to turn the donkey wheel (perhaps when Dharma began to inhabit the island) And the “hostiles” in the Dharma 1970-80s timeline are the time-skipping others suffering the consequences. It’s actually quite brilliant if you think about…It looks like our Losties are now the Hostiles in the Dharma 1970s timeline!!!<BR/><BR/>I think Ben is the source of the “lawyers” with the unnamed client that showed up at Kate’s door. What better way to get her to run again? <BR/><BR/>PS: And yes, I have both hands and legs in the air in agreement that Sun should kill Kate. <BR/><BR/>See you next week!!<BR/><BR/>AnasomeGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402423805008884314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-48971866190213285772009-01-23T14:46:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:46:00.000-05:00Hi Jay!Oh, congratulations on the wedding by the w...Hi Jay!<BR/>Oh, congratulations on the wedding by the way! Great reviews and I agree with you about the time/space thing being confusing. Anything I have ever seen about the time travel always brings up so many more questions. My father is a big science fiction fan and his favorite movie is The Time Machine, so I grew up watching it. Big question about why the Others are not traveling in time as well. How and why is the Island just picking the Losties to move? That part doesn't quite fly with me yet.<BR/>We also know that Locke at some point leaves the Island under the name Jeremy Bentham and tells Jack that they have to go back (and somehow Hurley too) but Jack does not believe him until he reads of his death in the paper. Ben says that the last time he saw Locke was when he left him at the Orchid station so he hasn't been back since then? Somehow the side effects of having to move the island or something are bad and so did Ben not really know what the effects would be? He now seems all intent on bringing the O6 back when he was the one that told Sayid and Kate they could go ahead and leave in the first place after they helped him. It just seems like a funny part of the story to me. Anyway can't wait for next week!<BR/>P.S. Congrats on getting Frankie Rodriguez from my Angels. We weren't expecting him to return anyway with the salary issue so if he had to go to NY at least he didn't go to the Yankees!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939593555643148973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-18917453120845779632009-01-23T14:18:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:18:00.000-05:00The dead Pakistani comment I think was more of a j...The dead Pakistani comment I think was more of a joke than anything - she certainly should have recognized him, considering Hurley introduced them when they were all rescued. I think it was, at most, just a moment or nonrecognition because she wasn't expecting him to be there.<BR/><BR/>As for why Sun left, Ji-Yeon, I think you're right in that she's planning on killing Ben and didn't want him around. She certainly has the money now to pay, say, a nurse or nanny to also keep an eye on both her kid and her father, just in case. <BR/><BR/>And, yeah, judging from Daniel's appearance (he certainly didn't seem much younger when he was in the Orchid), it was probably time travel. The Orchid presumably was built sometime in the late seventies, early eighties. Daniel would have been twenty odd years younger if he really was a DHARMA employee. Not to mention, he also would have had to escape the Purge to end up at Oxford later on. He's got to be traveling there, IMHO. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475817897723801757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-52746261710012696292009-01-23T14:08:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:08:00.000-05:00PS -"there" being in the Orchid stationPS -"there" being in the Orchid stationKerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429488340252651365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-15691339350376308132009-01-23T14:07:00.000-05:002009-01-23T14:07:00.000-05:00So I mentioned this on the Lost Diary blog and I w...So I mentioned this on the Lost Diary blog and I wanted to see what your thoughts were.<BR/><BR/>The are two things that bothered me about the show...<BR/><BR/>Why is that Hurley's mom doesn't recognize that the "Pakistani on her couch" is Sayid? I mean she should know who he is by now, no?<BR/><BR/>Another bothersome thing - The picture of Sun's baby, she is way too young looking. AND it doesn't seem as though Sun has the best relationship with her parents (at least her dad), so why would she leave her child with them (Sun mentions the little girl is "with her grandparents" to Kate)<BR/>But I guess she can't bring her little girl to kill Ben..which is probably why she's in LA.<BR/><BR/>I'm in agreement with Missie's thoughts about Sun and Kate..Sun is a true bad ass and Kate is now a light weight.<BR/><BR/>Oh and my first instinct with the baby in the crib, probably Miles.<BR/><BR/>Also, after watching the first scene again in "Because You Left" -I got the impression that Daniel was there a during a time shift moment, thoughts?Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429488340252651365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-27792173187516884372009-01-23T13:19:00.000-05:002009-01-23T13:19:00.000-05:00Good point, Miss.

Not sure how long the training is to be a show dog.<BR/><BR/>The mere fact that Sun didn't up and kick Kate's ass when she got all indignant ("What kind of person do you think I am?") is a testament of her bad-assery. She and Sayid could rule the world.<BR/><BR/>And honestly, Kate. Yuo've killed for far less than your son's safety. If that sounds unreasonable to you, Claire chose poorly.Missiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951110098375762357noreply@blogger.com
