The new episode had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Amazing. Smokey taking care of business, Ben visiting Widmore.
So it seem Ben can unleash Smokey but not really control it?

And how did Ben end up in the Sahara desert? And what rules did Widmore change?

just finished downloading, will watch it later today!

That was the best episode yet. Totally loving the show again, and Ben has become the best character ever. Of course, the list of unanswered questions grows...

Fucking great episode. Shocking with Alex - knew it was coming with how they'd filmed it, but I was still surprised. Love Ben's reaction, and it really explained something for a change! How Saïd and Ben end up together, and why they're killing off people!

But why did Widmore's people kill Nadia? Or was that a ruse of Ben's to get Sayid on his side (which Sayid seems to smart to fall for)?

I guess the biggest question is: What the hell did Ben go do in that room before Smokey showed up?

I love the Vile Vortices theory, have you heard this? http://www.lostpedia.com/...8theory%29

Makes a lot of sense considering the island/arctic (Ben had steamy breath and was wearing a parka/Saraha connection in this week's episode

No, didn't know that!

So looking forward to next week. I hope we get a cool Jacob meeting and maybe Locke gets to ask his question about the smoke.

I think it was a ruse - hence his wry smile after Saïd agreed.

MendesCity said:

I've never heard that theory. That's the first one I've heard of that makes perfect sense.

But I guess it doesn't explain why so many of the Losties are connected to each other and were on the same plane.

And it was so obvious that Ben led Sayid to believe that Widmore's group had Nadia killed.

Which leads to another question...why would he need Sayid to do his dirty work? He can obviously kill people himself.

that smokey?

or this smokey? cause this Smokey can sing!

Spookymuffin said:

If that's true, it's going to be hard to explain. Sayid's been so wary of Ben throughout the whole show, not sure why he wouldn't be suspicious of him here. Of course, Sayid could be playing along just to get close enough to Widmore so he can get the full story.

I've thought teleportation of some kind is responsible for some things on the island. The Vile Vortices theory is an excellent explanation.

This season has kicked some serious ass. So many hints and revelations in this one: Ben has some control over the smoke monster, Ben and Charles appear to have some kind of prior relationship, Ben can't kill him, the time flux may go both ways (assuming the doctor actually is fine on the boat), Sayid found Nadia but she was killed (by Widmore or maybe Ben)... Good times, good times...

great episode, the commercials suck though, litterally every 10 minutes

good episode.....anxious for next week!

One question: why is that Daniel Faraday guy wearing a tie???

WTF??? He didn't pay???

It's funny, this is such a great, but strange show.... I am watching this on American schedule, downloading every week on Friday. This way I can not be spoiled by what I read on the net... Now, because of the several hiateses (is that the right word??) in the American broadcasting schedule, Dutch television has almost caught up.In fact, they're only 2 episodes behind, broadcasting every Sunday. So, I am almost always at home on Sunday, drunk/hungover from my day at the hockeyclub, and I watch the show again.....and this is what totally fucks me up!!!!!
After seeing one episode the first time, I believe I get the story.....then, seeing the same episode again a couple of weeks later, it totally fucks me up and it's g me angry!!!! After that I feel stupid and confused.....

I don't know why I am posting this.....does anyone have this as well????
