Ever seen the last episode of The Prisoner? From what I have read, people went ballistic over the way Patrick McGoohan ended the show - to the point of threatening his life.

Well...for a series whose whole premise lay in the use/non-use of a comma*, it was appropriate.

 

Who is #1?

 

You are(,) #6. I am #2.

So....gotta wonder what the hell Jack was doing being all budddy-buddy with the Others.

 

He's either been brain washed, or he's made a deal.

 

The more I think about it, it really seems like the others reacted with tremendous hostility to the 815ers from the beginning. Plus...would you send your leader to investigate a potential enemy? They seemed almost desperate to find out about he 815ers. I am wondering if there is another conflict going on on the island.

 

 

Once again, I pray they had a plan where this series was going before the pilot was shot and they aren't pulling the story out of their ass like George Lucas did with Star Wars.

From what I have read, he put the last epsiode together during a two day writing session - I sort of dig it.

Maybe this week we start getting answers...if we were asking the right questions.

What did McGoohan do after The Prisoner anyway? Nothing much that I can recall, certainly nothing as good as that show. I think the pressure burned him out.

Is it Locke's dad...or is it an avatar...like Yemi, Jack's dad, Kate's horse?

 

This shit just keeps getting weirder.

okay, Follow me here...could the portrait hanging on Ben's wall be Rachel? (Juliet's sister) This is a BIG stretch, but I'm developing this theory that Ben could possibly be Juliet's..........drum roll please......... nephew (Rachel's baby) !!!!!?????

At the very least....Ben is one of Juliet's experiments as a fertility specialist.

1) Juliet and Ben have a "history"....they seem to mean something to each other.

2) it's the 2nd time Ben mentions being born on the island/spent his whole life on the island..this is truly his HOME. Could he be the result of a Dharma experiment? 3) Juliet's enticed to the island by xrays of a 70 yr old womb but the subject's only 26 . That means the body is dramatically older than ones chronological age. .Jack said Ben's xrays were of a man in his 40s. I wonder how old Ben really is? I speculate he's actually much younger than he appears 4) Mittelos - Lost Time....could this be the meaning 5) the Gilgamesh reference and Joop the orangutan alludes to the fact that Dharma was interested in studies to extend and alter life expectancy. and finally 6) Rachel is the name of Jacob's wife in the book of Genesis. Rachel was disgraced because she hadn't bore any children to Jacob...eventually Rachel has 2 children, dies in childbirth and her 2nd son was named Benjamin (Ben)

...This is extremely powerful knowledge, but Ben confides the secret of the island to Locke for several reasons. First, Locke's "commitment is genuine" and Ben knows he's got no desire to leave. This puts the two of them in the same boat, so to speak. Ben also recognizes that Locke already has a kinship with the island that, at this point in time, might even surpass his own. Finally, Ben needs to learn from Locke. If Locke has knowledge of how the island works that Ben does not, he needs to gain that knowledge. Especially now.

 

The really awesome part of this scene was how nonchalant Locke was about everything. Ben's really not telling him anything new here - since season one Locke's known that this place is very special. In fact, Locke is angry at Ben because he is abusing the very purity of the island's gifts. He uses its power to make himself comfortable with electricity and running water... in Locke's eyes he's 'cheating', just as his father cheated everyone he came into contact with. Locke shames Ben. "If you had any idea what this place was, you wouldn't be putting chicken in your refrigerator!" Ouch, man. Locke takes a proverbial crap over Ben's whole house, his lifestyle, and his leftover chicken. Then he punches him square in the face with "That's why you're in a wheelchair... and I'm not".

After reviewing some screencaps I think the potrait is of....

 

Helen (Locke's fiance whom he met in anger management class and who eventually left him because of his obsession with his father).

 

This could really open up a nice new can of worms...

 

EDIT: Actually, speculation now is that the lady in the portrait on Ben's wall is Karen DeGroot.

Interesting.

 

Ain't it though...

 

I am HOOKED on this show now. Haven't been this consumed witha Television show since Babylon 5. At least JMS had a definite plan and outcome for B5.

 

I hope to God the producers of Lost have a road map and aren't pulling stuff out of their ass (a la George Lucas STAR WARS).

I heard of some SNL skit where they said ABC had signed the Lost writers for another year and their response was, "Oh Shit." :)

i totally agree with you here.

i can't really agree with you here. the only reason i'm still watching is because i'm one of those people who are loyal to a fault. maybe it will peak my interest again.

 

until then, this stuff is just getting damn near ridiculous.
