Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 TWO-NITE Previews looked awesome and if you know who the flash___ is devoted to you'll agree that this could be a great episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Looks amazing from the preview they showed after last week's repeat. I won't spoiler tag since these are just guesses based solely on the preview, and on previous episodes, but I think that it's now obvious that it was the freighter folk who shot Karl and Danielle, and I think Claire gets killed.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Yeah, it's more or less a gimme that it's Keamy and Omar who capped Karl and Danielle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Ooh totally forgot it was on again tonight, have to admit, my interest in LOST has totally waned this season. I can't put a finger exactly on why though. It just isn't grabbing me, don't feel like I need to watch it, or need to find out why they got off the island, or even why the have to go back. I think its finally 'Jumped the Shark' for me. Could even be the fact that I now know they got off the island that's done it for me. I've always enjoyed the mystical Island pull shit, the only thing I really want to know is all Locke/Jacob/Ben based at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Lostpedia doesn't say so, but the Lost Season4 Wikipedia page lists tonight's episode as Ben centric. Any confirmation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Uhhh....lengthen the spoiler tab Matt, it's pretty damn obvious who it'll be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 So...it wasn't the people on the boat that killed Carl and (maybe) Danielle. And uhh-oh, Lost-zilla is loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 So...it wasn't the people on the boat that killed Carl and (maybe) Danielle. Try the opposite. Also - awesome death for Alex. One less annoying character that I have no sympathy for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Great episode. I really liked it. And Ben's going to be the one thing that keeps Desmond and Penny from their fairy-tale ending. See, next week shows how the flash-forwards have hurt the show though. Even though his appendix burst, you know Jack's not going to die because we see him off the island years later. So there really is no drama there unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 True, but killing a guy off via burst appendix would be pretty lame . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Wow, GREAT episode. All this season, I was waiting for Lostzilla to finally show up. Preview for next week talk: I thought it killed all the freighter people on the island, but judging by the preview, it looks like the main one survived. Hopefully we finally get some answers on Lostzilla when they reach Jacob's cabin. Knowing this show, that won't happen for another two episodes, however.

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 I wonder what Widmore meant when he said that everything Ben has he stole from him and that the island has always been his. This episode took place right around the end of 2004/beginning of 2005. The Ben/Sayid stuff happened Oct. 2005 so they get rescued relatively quickly...especially since Sayid had time to find Nadya, marry her and then have her get murdered. That was a pretty badass death for Alex, I must say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Well that was just about the most depressing thing I've ever seen. Sayid finally reunites with Nadia, and she gets whacked shortly thereafter. The last thing Alex hears before getting shot in the head is that she's a bastard and Ben doesn't care about her. Lost has had a real problem with killing people off way too soon, when they easily could've done more with those characters. Aside from the usual "answers that only lead to even more questions" stuff, at least the plot moved along somewhat in this one. The smog monster eating the freighter folk was a nice markout moment: Welcome to The Island, bitches. Plus that shootout, though short, was surprisingly badass and violent for network tv. I admit I LOL'd when three people in a row came out all "dude, what's going on AHHH" and got shot. How many Red Shirts are left among the survivors now?

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Hey, why did Ben have to ask what year it was when he was checking into that Tunisian hotel? It didn't seem like he was time hopping. Hmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Dunlop 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Maybe he just needed to know what day it was? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 It's kinda hard to forget what year you are currently living in. Day? Sure. But he specifically asked about the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 When Faraday requested the rocket to be launched to his location on the island from the freighter, it took much longer than it should of. The freighter said the rocket should have arrived much earlier than it actually did. If that means that time travels much quicker off the island, than Ben probably just wanted to confirm the year. Assuming the first thing Ben did in Tunisia was to check in to the hotel, that was probably his first opportunity to check the date. After all, right before Tunisia, he was wounded in the middle of the Sahara. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Uhhh....lengthen the spoiler tab Matt, it's pretty damn obvious who it'll be. It could have been any number of people. Quite a few have 3 or 4 letter names. Ben, Jack, Sun, Jin, Kate... Besides, it wasn't even really a spoiler. I avoid spoilers. Ben Jack Kate Sun Jin Just a test. Jin, a three letter name like Ben, shows up significantly shorter than the others, while Ben's name appears similar to the 4 letter name of Jack. But um... anyway. Tonight's episode raped. It sucks that fine ass Alex got killed, and that was a bone chilling moment. After all, right before Tunisia, he was wounded in the middle of the Sahara. But how did he get there?

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 This episode just about made sure I'm going to keep with LOST to the end of this season. It had everything that kept my interest in the first few seasons haha awesome. Take it Widmore was on the Island once, and he's trying to get back, since Ben 'can't kill him'.

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Another thing: is Ben going to kill Penny personally or is he going to have Sayid do it? If/when Sayid meets Penny, will her kill her? Remember the phone conversation in the equipment room on the freighter? Remember it and kill her anyway? Apparently Ben did time-travel to the desert. The DHARMA symbol on his jacket apparently represents reincarnation and when the two men on horseback are speaking in a different language they say, "Where are his tracks? Where did he come from, the sky?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Keamy is Hardass of The Moment on the island. I honestly think with his demeanor and training that Sayid would be the only one to offer him a challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Yeah, I wonder if they'll even both with an explanation about how he avoided Lostzilla. I wonder if the hotel Ben checked into in Tunisia is a DHARMA stronghold. IIRC the polar bear skeleton Charlotte located was in the Tunisian desert and the reaction the clerk had when Ben told her his name and she looked it up was fishy.
