LOL!!! <br />Anyway, here's the episode that turns it all around...how many things happened in this one that set the course for almost everything that's to come? Not looking forward to how sad Hurley is going to be. :( And wow, how did I miss the first time around how many times Libby looked sullen when Hurley mentions something about where he knows her from. You guys really have me hooked into the "Libby's an Other" theory!

To set the record straight, the writers have insisted that they had nothing to do with what happened at the end of the season, but the timing of the DUIs, followed by their characters' dismissals from the show, is what had people suspicious. The writers could be covering their butts, or they could be telling the truth. The reason it's entered Lost lore is because of what happened to Adewale shortly after -- he was caught driving without a license (hardly a major infraction) and suddenly HIS character was killed off, too. Clearly another unfortunate timing of the two, but when Daniel Dae Kim was found with a DUI, many fans thought for sure he'd been blown up on that freighter. I never lost the faith!! ;) <br /><br />So it's become a bit of an onrunning joke in the Lostverse, that if you're caught with some sort of traffic offense off-camera, your character is doomed.Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-33809141114599669162009-09-26T19:25:55.820-04:002009-09-26T19:25:55.820-04:00@Marebabe & Susan: For some reason I too alway...@Marebabe & Susan: For some reason I too always thought the woman Christian was arguing with was Claire's aunt.

He was so desperate that he didn't take the time to come up with another plan. He really didn't have to shoot them. He could have somehow got some alone time in the hatch and faked Ben attacking him. But when it comes to getting his son back, he doesn't do a lot of straight thinking.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219841452322761803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-27019168737237045452009-09-26T16:38:44.903-04:002009-09-26T16:38:44.903-04:00For the record, Gabrielle Fitzpatrick plays the wo...For the record, Gabrielle Fitzpatrick plays the woman at the door in "Two for the Road" and plays Lindsey in "Par Avion." <br /><br />If you look on Lostpedia on Michelle Rodriguez's article, as well as one called Traffic violations, it states that the producers confirm that AL and Libby were not killed off because of DUI arrests.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-74712255041698975452009-09-26T13:59:46.948-04:002009-09-26T13:59:46.948-04:00@JW: Hey, I got your "Lord of the Films"...@JW: Hey, I got your "Lord of the Films" book the other day, and I'm enjoying it very much. As soon as I realized that you included info on how to find Easter eggs on the DVD's, I flipped through your book to find them all. Then I watched all the long-lost Easter eggs, which were a laugh riot! Imagine, I've had the DVD's for years, and never suspected that those bits were on there. I'd just like to state for the record that I HATE hidden Easter eggs in DVD sets. When I pay top dollar for my favorite movies and TV shows, I want to be able to see all the content. When I bought S6 of "24", I had read that one of the extras was the spoof that "The Simpsons" did. To this day, I haven't been able to find it. So THANK YOU for writing your book, and for all the juicy bits you crammed onto its pages!

I agree it's been established that AL killed two "others" before this episode.<br />2. Like Susan, I also thought it was Claire's Aunt Lindsay and not her mother that Christian talks to. I'm not sure about what actresses played what parts, though, so perhaps I'm wrong?<br />3.

I remember back then people thought he was talking about Tom Friendly, since at this point we knew nothing about Jacob (not even his name).<br /><br />It's ironic in hindsight that Ben would be so afraid of someone he's never actually met, although I guess that's common with most belief systems.<br /><br />What I find more interesting is that Ben paints Jacob out to be some terrifyingly powerful, vengeful leader, when in actuality that isn't the case at all. I find that duality similar to how God is portrayed in the Old Testament vs. the New Testament in the Bible. God in the Old Testament is fearsome, raining fire from the sky destroying cities and all of that, while in the New Testament we have Jesus who is all about love. Both of these apply to Jacob, how he can at once be a leader who orders to kill American soldiers on the island and be a mild-mannered optimist who heals people and gives kind words.Rednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-48283934431983358572009-09-25T15:49:08.636-04:002009-09-25T15:49:08.636-04:00Ben, Ben, Ben, you form such sophisticated plans, ...<i>Ben, Ben, Ben, you form such sophisticated plans, even Sawyer would be impressed, and this is the best your side came up with?</i><br /><br />I dunno, I thought about that when re-watching this recently when Michael showed up, and I think the answer is just that the Others told Michael "free Ben" and make sure the people on this list go after him.<br /><br />I think the exact details of the means to do so were left to Michael, and seeing Ana Lucia with the gun, wanting to kill Ben, he leaped at an opportunity.<br /><br />If she didn't have the gun, he'd have just found another way sometime later to free Ben without implicating himself. <br /><br />Also, count me amongst those who thought Michael might have killed himself at the end. <br /><br />Though that might have just been wishful thinking at the time. :)Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-44237668787555461492009-09-25T10:41:13.076-04:002009-09-25T10:41:13.076-04:00You crash on a mysterious island.

It surely has meaning again, major things happen when it rains.<br /><br />Sad as it sounds, and unfortunate for Harold, but looking forward to the end of Season 2, Michael has begun to annoy me more than Ana. Really annoying!

So, is it like if you're wearing a red shirt, the guy next to you gets it? I'm dragging my shirt out of the laundry basket.<br /><br /><br />AL also calls Christian pathetic, the same word Charlie uses on Rousseau.<br /><br />Why did Jack and Locke AND Kate believe Michael when he tells them the Others live in huts, there's maybe only two guns and half of those he saw were women, and most were old? Kate had told Jack that the net they were trapped in, LAST episode, was not "sophisticated" enough for the Others. Then she told him about the medical station. And so Jack just goes ahead and believes Michael!!!<br /><br />And how does this work to free Ben. Suppose Sawyer hadn't given into AL and she didn't have the gun. What's Michael supposed to do? Knock her over the head with Locke's crutch? Ben, Ben, Ben, you form such sophisticated plans, even Sawyer would be impressed, and this is the best your side came up with?

I think this definitely still beats out "Walkabout" and "Through the Looking Glass, Part 2" for BEST ENDING EVA!<br /><br />Something Ben said in an earlier episode caught my attention, so I thought I'd bring it up here. When someone says "God knows..." and he responds with, "God doesn't know! God can't see this Island any more than the rest of the world can"<br /><br />Well...<br /><br />I'm firmly set in a theory of mine that the story's ending will tie into (in some way) the story of Paradise Lost, regarding fallen angels and such (I have reason to believe that Un-Locke is actually Lucifer, but we'll get to that in the S5 rewatch). Anyway, Ben uses a lot of contempt in his line speakign about God, and if the Others & Jacob are truyl fallen angels, then I'm sure there'd be nothing BUT contempt for their former master.<br />Just something that piqued my curiosity, and fed some fuel to my theory.The Question Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-76019116049717488462009-09-24T23:03:27.393-04:002009-09-24T23:03:27.393-04:00@Nikki, I'm with you - funniest scene - AL as ...@Nikki, I'm with you - funniest scene - AL as the airport screener!
