This guy steps out of a tent on an Island with presumably tropical weather, not a drop of sweat on him, no sunburn. And don't even get me started on the clothes, KoreAmBear. (Though I have to admit, when he was in tatters meeting young Ben outside the sonic fence, because he was in the shade, he kinda looked like John Stamos. Three nieces, too many years of FULL HOUSE, yea, I know).<br /><br />Seriously, though, you guys think Miles will talk to Faraday's ghost brain and Richard will be like Holy Crap! or Suffering Sun-Gods! because here's a guy who talks to ghosts, whereas Ben just impressed him by seeing his dead mom? (Of course, he could just pull a Sawyer and give us a Sonuvabitch...)<br /><br />And 80sPro (and Big), if anything, we'd learn that Carole Littleton certainly did sleep around (or, at least have a pretty bad track record if Widmore and Christian were her two loves).<br /><br />Hmnn. When Widmore was banished and out on the sub, if the Island was someplace else, could they have dropped him off in Sydney? Actually, the Island could be where it was in 2004, still, why not Sydney?Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-73043282026856180492009-05-06T13:04:00.000-07:002009-05-06T13:04:00.000-07:00RA is the man.

You'll be reminded that you forgot Tom and Arturo, I'm sure it will be mentioned an other commenter.<br /><br />It just seems logical that Juliet will die, its not like LOST is trying to give us a "very special episode." Its like a brick in the concrete path somewhere ahead, and Sawyer will be pissed. That's something we need, the DI that we've seen are pretty much asshats and alcoholics (and Others, if this Amy thing play out). Circle of Trust BS, Radzinsky pretty much insane with paranoia, Phil with the crazy eyes. Mr. LSD. Hell, Horace himself built Jacob's cabin. I want to see James Sawyer/LeFleur beat the snot out of any one of the DI like Desmond did to Ben at the marina.<br /><br />@KoreAmBear, interesting comparison to The Pit and The Pendulum. The Lamp Post is below ground level. The pendulum swings downward, the metronome upward. You got me.

@WAS
I think you hit it out ...LantzDogg...present!<br /><br />@WAS<br />I think you hit it out of the park with your feeling that Juliet is going to die.<br /><br />Think about it. For four seasons of riveting television, the writers have made a concerted effort showing the rawness and authenticity of the Sawyer/Kate relationship. Like many “real life” relationships, this relationship is incredibly complicated and incredibly passionate. I mean the man threw himself off a helicopter to give his true love a chance at survival.<br /><br />Flash forward to this season, and to my surprise, through the writers, the Juliet and Sawyer relationship feels just as real. It feels that Juliet and Sawyer, even with the return of Kate, have an undying love for one another. Juliet silenced the inner-monster that rages within Sawyer. They settled down into a domestic life, safe and secure, and “regular” on the island. It was a life that Sawyers always wanted but never had following his parent’s murder suicide, and his decade long journey to avenge their death. It was something that Sawyer and Kate knew they could never have with one another. Juliet gave balance to Sawyer. <br /><br />Why? <br /><br />Lost is not a love story. <br />• Charlie falls in love Claire and later sacrifices himself to give Claire and Aaron a chance to get off the island. <br /><br />• Sayid’s true love Nadia is murdered. Even his island love with Shannon is cut short by Ana Lucia. <br /><br />• Jack’s marriage to Sarah fell apart<br /><br />• Kate’s childhood love Tom Brennan was killed due to Kate’s fugitive-ness (not a real word, I know)<br /><br />• Daniel fell in love with Charlotte. The island, via timespace sickness, killed Charlotte. Daniel’s mother later killed Daniel. <br /><br />• Locke’s attempt at love with Helen ended with leaving Helen over his obsession with his father. She later died (or may have been killed by Widmore)<br /><br />• Hurley falls for Libby. Michael kills Libby. Hurley is alone again.<br /><br />• Michael’s marriage to Susan falls apart. Susan dies.<br /><br />• Juliet’s husband Edmund Burke is killed by a bus. (Ethan and Alpert?)<br /><br />• Juliet falls for Goodwin. Ben puts Goodwin in harm’s way. Ana Lucia kills Goodwin. <br /><br />• Jin and Sun are currently separated by a few decades. <br /><br />Other than Rose and Bernard, and to date, Penny and Desmond, there has not been happy endings when it comes to relationships, and I have not even touched on the significant daddy issues: Jack/Christian; <br />Ben/Roger; <br />Sun/Mr. Paik; <br />Kate/Wayne; <br />Miles/Dr. Change; <br />Locke/Tom Sawyer; <br />Michael/Walt…<br />I could go on.<br /><br />My point being…..why is it so critical to the storyline to have Sawyer and Juliet fall in love? <br /><br />What is the point? <br /><br />I will tell you. <br /><br />What does Lost do better than any other show on television? It takes the viewer down a path and then BOOM, pulls the rug out from under us moments before the black screen of LOST! <br /><br />@WAS is correct. Juliet will die. She will die saving Sawyer. The island demands sacrifices. She will do willingly to save Sawyer, whom she loves. Sawyer will not be happy. This is the understatement of the year. He will wage war and spill blood in an attempt to quench his thirst for revenge. His sleeping demons will awake. Carnage. Death. Destruction. The war is coming and James Lafleur is the Harbinger of Death. <br /><br />Lastly, the relationship scenario listed above leads me to another theory. Given their unrelenting love for one another, and the fact that Rose is saved by the Island from her inevitable death from cancer…we will learn that Rose and Bernard are Adam and Eve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-91766548855973961782009-05-05T10:45:00.000-07:002009-05-05T10:45:00.000-07:00@Greg, part of the confusion with Faraday, I think...@Greg, part of the confusion with Faraday, I think, was in showing him in the opening scenes of the first episode. By the time the O6ers show up, Dan is long gone, with a sub showing up that day. And yet another sub shows up two days later, with the Ann Arbor people. I don't think there were ever two subs, rather, the vortice off the coast of Portland that (as Capcom states) presumably opens up in the Looking Glass moon pool rather than at the Pala Ferry area. (Otherwise why have the moon pool, i.e., that huge swimming pool area where Des and Charlie popped up, why not have scuba gear?).<br /><br />If Faraday's notebook was filled with everything he knew about the DI, it was filled while he was in Ann Arbor, because the Orchid and the Swan were the two things he was interested in and they weren't around in 1974. I'll take a guess that he left on a sub in 1974, but I'll be damned how he got on it, unless he went back on the same sub that "brought" the O6. I can't see him filling even part of that notebook on the Island, and he is always flipping BACKWARDS through it. The only out of sequence thing is his big box in red letters about Whatever happens, Desmond Hume being his Constant. (Different ink, bigger writing). This is what leads me to believe that somehow, Desmond gets a memory of Dan being dead (or some such event that galvanizes him). <br /><br />The thing that seemed lame is him even seeing DI 77's photo shoot, why the big deal, unless it was to show the people in Ann Arbor who showed up ok? In the previous episode, I just though Faraday came back because of the Swan being built. Either way, it worked, but it seemed a bit contrived.<br /><br />@Bigmouth, after you commented, I did think of Claire's mom, of anyone we've seen before, but dismissed it. If only because the whole Mrs. Littleton being in L.A. at the same time as Penny seems convenient. Yet, sometimes that is what LOST is all about. <br /><br />Here's another one: what brilliant man (however Hawking said it) was responsible for the Lamp Post? Faraday? There was a reason we saw that 1954 Army photo on the wall, Dan could have worked forwards from the military's coordinates (somehow), to the freighter coordinates, then had the pendulum built. We are of the assumption that the DI always knew of the Island moving, I think they, like the US military and Oceanic 815, were lucky/unlucky to see it. Anyone else thinking that the pendulum is reflected in kid Faraday's metronome?<br /><br />I'm getting knocked off the computer, my nieces want to play Club Penguin.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-14618613333267784322009-05-05T08:57:00.000-07:002009-05-05T08:57:00.000-07:00Hmmm, that's a very good question.

But for simplicity's sake, I'd guess that World Time is in the same place as the Island Time for them...mostly because Dan mentioned that he guessed that they were the ones who were time skipping, not the island. So, assuming that the island moves from place to place but not time to time, the FBs skipped back in World and Island Time, which was the '70s. <br /><br />But, feel free to pick that apart if I'm off-base. :-)Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17498689.post-14678073381497201852009-05-05T08:54:00.000-07:002009-05-05T08:54:00.000-07:00James: Good point re Ms. Hawking's foreknowledge o...<B>James:</B> Good point re Ms. Hawking's foreknowledge of the man in the red shoes.
