Damn, now I want to watch that again...<br /><br />And you guys are right - a newly formed DHARMA seems to be a likely possibility.<br /><br />Interesting idea on Eloise Hawking too - she really does seem to fit the bill as an interested third party and could easily have gotten everyone (Bram, Ilana and crew) on that plane. The only question with that is why she would help Ben, although I suppose she might have needed him to get everyone on the Island (plus maybe she thought he be killed anyway). Lots of good food for thought. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475817897723801757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-57589021944703487042009-04-17T15:39:00.000-04:002009-04-17T15:39:00.000-04:00I agree with Frakkin Toaster.

The third faction on this upcoming war has to be the DI, ready to return and reclaim it's foothold on the island.<br />I'll even go one step further and, sticking my neck out, say that Eloise Hawking could be involved as well. There is no previous link to the DI for her, yet her absence in the Hostile camp in 1977 is at best conspicuous. And there's the small matter of the birth of Daniel Faraday, who did not have a nose bleed during the time flashes. This leads me to believe that he had never been to the island prior to arrving on the freighter. I could be way off track here, but I'm still sure Eloise Hawking wasn't charting the next location of the island soley for the O5's return.Arcticroseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956439596424214080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-13481952432084279562009-04-17T11:10:00.000-04:002009-04-17T11:10:00.000-04:00The more I think about it, the more it makes sense...The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that the third party is a new Dharma group. Think about it. For one, what happened with Dharma? Did they really just give up such a powerful island when the Purge happened? Wouldn't you, if you were part of the Hanso foundation try and get back too? And why Miles? Why track him down? Because his father was important to them. He was a vital part of their work and research, so of course they would try and approach his kid. Not hurt him, just talk to him.<br />One other thing that is still a puzzle to me is those food drops. If the island could not be found, even by Widmore, and the only way the Losties could go back was a small window that Mrs. Hawking directed them to, then how were the food drops able to happen? It wasn't directed by Ben and the Others because one, as you mention in your blog Jay, the producers said Ben did not know about the Hatch, and two, it is illogical that the Others would feed anyone in the Hatch that was a part of Dharma. So was it Dharma trying to salvage something of the old initiative? Or was it something the writers just decided doesn't fit with the way the story started to go and kind of abandoned it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939593555643148973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-16099102827093733252009-04-17T00:13:00.000-04:002009-04-17T00:13:00.000-04:00Good review.

I seem to remember someone translating Paik's dialogue from a 3rd season episode in which he refers to his business with "The Hanso Group." My working idea is that Bram and Ilana are members of the new Dharma Initiative, determined to take back the Island. They are the 3rd party who want to keep Widmore and Ben feuding.. divide and conquer, as Machiavellian as you can get.Brian O'Blivionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132415773450239595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-9996783408396973612009-04-16T21:50:00.000-04:002009-04-16T21:50:00.000-04:00I agree Jay, definitely a third party that came to...I agree Jay, definitely a third party that came to Miles in the van. Doesn’t seem right that it is Ben, besides, Ben would have just killed him off. It really seems like something else. Maybe Dharma-related. Hmm. Will have to wait for that one. <br /><br />Loved Tommy Lasorda as the "new" manager of the Dodgers!<br />I think Miles’ mother was just sick because she was sick. People do get cancer and it was just a writer’s way of having Miles try and ask his mother things about himself and his past before she died. I personally didn’t read any more into it then that.<br /><br />I also think the Incident takes place before 1985. That date hasn’t been confirmed by the producers and I actually looked it up on Lostpedia and the guys over there seem to agree also that it was before 1980. I know the Blast Door Map says it happened in 1985 but it also was clearly written long after the fact so yes, it was either an estimate, or an additional Incident, but I am going with the former on that one.<br /><br />What the heck Kate? Why do you always have to get involved with everyone, like it's your personal mission to interfere with everyone and everything? Geesh.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939593555643148973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-83105264626017558412009-04-16T09:44:00.000-04:002009-04-16T09:44:00.000-04:00Actually, Ed and I are pretty certain that Hurley ...Actually, Ed and I are pretty certain that Hurley and Miles referred to Pierre as a "Douche" , not "dude".<br /><br />I definitely got the feeling that Pierre loves his little boy very much, and he and his mother were most likely sent away, not abandoned. I agree- no "Bad Daddy" here.Missiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951110098375762357noreply@blogger.com
