skater4eto— I think she was right. Sawyer told Kate he wasn’t ready to be her boyfriend then.

Did anyone see the connection between Roger (ben’s dad) and kate? Not that kate was intrested, but it looked like roger was sort of into her, and especially after he saw her trying to save ben with her blood. Wonder if anything’s going to happen there…

This one restored my faith in Kate. In ‘He’s Our You’, they made it seem like she came back for Sawyer, and I was disgusted with her. But knowing what she’s been through, and knowing she’s here for Claire saves her in my opinion. I hope she lets go of loving both Jack and Sawyer, and just becomes the strong, independent Kate we know and love this season.

I think the key scene to who remembers what and when was back when Farrady told Desmond to contact his mother pre Oceanic 815, but he didn’t remember the conversation until after he’d left the island years later. Rousseau didn’t remember Jin as an example because Jin hadn’t gone back in time for her to meet in 1986 yet. The donkey wheel turning event that sent him back didn’t happen until after she died in 2004. Seems logical enough to me anyway.

Separately, while Farrady seems to be gone/missing, clearly Miles has discussed time travel with him in some detail.

I also really liked the idea that Aaron knows that Claire is his real mother, even if he’s not quite sure what she looks like, and this certainly seems to confirm that Claire is still alive, and will probably end up raising him just like the psychic said she should.

Keely: “Why didn’t Rousseau remember Jin?”

Maybe she did. She just never told any of the losties that. Or she could have just forgotten. It was 16 years before she saw Jin again.

how did miles know that it was a “wheel thing” that ben turned????? He never was told that to our knowledge…unless they found out about the wheel within the 3 years of being on the island…….or locke told O6 who told miles…..but just sayin….

finally others again, they will be the main aspect of the show in the last season i think.
so the losties were responsible for ben becoming who he is, especially sayid, that makes me think, as they timetraveled and therefore “changed” or “did” something in the past, as if Charles widmore is indeed the good guy, who got into the trap of ben, who just got power through the manipulation of things by the losties. well, but maybe this was actually good.. i don’t know.

Can I just say… “voodoo magic will erase his memory” sounds like the worst cop out ever. It -sounds- like Darlton really have been making it all up as they go along… and you know what? I think that they could have easily said that Ben -did- remember them. OR that that was an incredibly traumatizing experience and young Ben got amnesia. But this way… I dunno. Pissed me off.

Wonderful Episode…

As the season is progressing I am getting more and more fascinated on Richard and the others.

This episode successfully explained the time travel concept.

Anybody got an answer as to why ben was so surprised to see locke alive? does ben not know EVERYTHING like we previously thought? if so he definitely killed locke for a malicious reason rather than a good one if he intended for him to be dead and stay dead.

also good call to whoever pointed out that whats about to happen to ben is what happened to rousseaus team

By far the best ‘dharma’ episode in my opinion, and by far the best Kate episode ever.

My favourite bit was Miles and Hurley’s conversation, especially when Hurly thought he had figured something out and went all Sherlock Homes and sat back in his chair, pure comedy.

I think we are long overdue a Miles episode, he’s a great character

With question one of the best episodes this season. 10/10

Also, forgot to mention. A lot of people think that Ben goes to the marina to attack Penny and Desmond, but why would they be at the marina… I think it’s a bit of a trick. When they were on a boat they were in the UK, why would they use the boat to travel to LA?? They would have to use the Panama Canal, or go around South America… that would take a while. They most likely flew, and are staying in a hotel. I think the writers just want us to think it’s Penny, but really it’s someone else… that’s going to be equally as crazy.

I thought it was great how Hurley and Miles explained what everybody was wondering about the time travel stuff. And I loved how everything came together. The end was the big payoff! A couple things to note:

- Charles and Ellie seem to be in charge… could Ellie be Penny’s mother as well, cause she should be born by now, as well as Faraday I would think….
- Richard “doesn’t answer to either of them” and he didn’t really answer to Ben either… so who does he answer to?
- the temple seems purely in the Other’s ownership… so when do the DI take over and make it a station? (Ben’s map for Alex had the Dharma logo beside it).
- what the eff goes on in the temple??

Can’t wait for next week!!
