Even though we see Miles with himself as a baby we have also seen people on the island at the same time as themselves in other seasons, like when Kate was helping Claire giving birth. They were all on that island along with their past selves. So maybe it is not a rule. Maybe it is ok for them to be around their past selves. Maybe that is why they are showing it with Miles- to prove to us that they are making the rules go the way they want, not how we expect them to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898648102964020929.post-39266168878267839382009-04-20T19:00:00.000-05:002009-04-20T19:00:00.000-05:00NIEL:

Kelvin was ex-CIA too and was with the army in Iraq. Interesting I think that we have seen a lot of flashbacks with the army, 1954, Iraq, Kate's dad at the recruiting station and then Kate's dad again in Sydney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898648102964020929.post-36519079645197443112009-04-20T18:59:00.002-05:002009-04-20T18:59:00.002-05:00JULIA:

Eko's was a lot better.... but like with Eko, here smokey manifested as Alex, where he had done the same thing with Eko's brother Yemi and told him to confess when. Eko wouldn't though, and smokey killed him.here, Benry was contrite and smokey showed mercy, but with conditions. interesting parallels... i also would have liked to have seen a lot more of Whidmore's leadership and Benry having a problem with it and more confrontations between them in his flashbacks...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898648102964020929.post-68617702082142152902009-04-09T18:30:00.000-05:002009-04-09T18:30:00.000-05:00FRANK:Hmmm.

The Penny / Desmond thing took, what, about 60 seconds to play out? I expected at least a full episode to deal with that. <BR/><BR/>And I wasn't too impressed with the confrontation between Ben and the monster. The way they did the 'clip show' was kind of silly. And I thought the girl who played Alex overacted a bit too much.<BR/><BR/>Looking back, there was a lot of little things that were answered/addressed. I just didn't really like the execution of it all<BR/><BR/>I also felt the Widmore stuff was glossed over. I would have preferred to have SEEN Ben finding out Widmore was leaving the island. How does one sneak on and off the island via a sub that only comes and goes every few months?<BR/><BR/>The best stuff of the night was Ben and Locke's interactions - especially when it came to Ben's manipulation of those around him, and Locke's laissez-faire attitiude. I think Locke knows everything and nothing about whats going on at the same time, with a touch of 'at this point I really don't care'.<BR/><BR/>The Ajia air folks seem to be up to something. The 'they found weapons' and a shot of that big box led me to believe the weapons were in there - are we to believe there's something else more sinister in the box? Someone call Jack Bauer, we may have a biological weapon on our hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898648102964020929.post-29282455483493646332009-04-06T01:32:00.000-05:002009-04-06T01:32:00.000-05:00YES!

Locke asked Claire where Aaron was and Christian answered him and said, "he's exactly where he's supposed to be.." and we knew at the time that he was with Kate, and would be with her off the island in the future as part of the O'6. made me think that that whole business with the O'6 was to get Aaron off the island and Sun off the island so their children would survive, and that Aaron would be with Claire's mother, raised by the closest thing to Claire there is... it was also cool to hear Kate reveal her reason to go to the island being to find Claire and not some lovesick dribble about Sawyer that would have been hard to believe... but now Kate could never find Claire in 1977... maybe The Incident will reunite all the Losties in a new period of time when it occurs? hmmm.<BR/><BR/><BR/>2) Miles challenges Hurley to shoot him to prove some of his arguments about time travel, learned no doubt from Faraday (who is WHERE, by the way?!!??!). this got me not only thinking but very intrigued by Miles reason's for even saying this. he can communicate with the dead somehow, so does he have a death wish of some kind? he said it to Hurley like a challenge/request, and immediately followed it up by saying they can die in the past because it's their present. all this has me very curious about Miles and if he was just saying that as part of the argument, but that he too has some purpose he's trying to fulfill and he knows it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>finally, the things Richard said about Ellie and Charles not being the ones he answers too, plus the details he gave about saving Benry and him not remembering them and losing his innocence were peculiar. makes all of Doc Jensen's ponderings about Ben knowing everything already and knowing who the Losties are this whole time irrelevant. But on top of that, Richard not only gives Kate and Sawyer the OPTION to not save Ben, which they chose to still go ahead opt to save him, but he also gives a sort of look to the heavens just before entering to temple as if to say, "i hope this is the right thing." very, very interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898648102964020929.post-38305405238195374102009-04-03T19:50:00.000-05:002009-04-03T19:50:00.000-05:00JULIA: really enjoyed last night’s episode. Altho...JULIA:<BR/><BR/> really enjoyed last night’s episode. Although, to be fair, it is very rare when I don’t really enjoy an episode of LOST. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>My favorite part of last night was Hurley and Miles hashing through all of the time travel arguments we have all been discussing over the past weeks…just showed once again how smart and self-aware the writers are. They knew we’d all be talking about those very questions, and acknowledging it by having the characters have those same discussions was so clever…and at the same time, hilarious. When Hurley pointed out the idea that Ben should have recognized Sayid and stumped Miles, I laughed out loud. And the Back to the Future references were a riot.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>I think that whatever Richard Alpert did to Ben in the temple will erase his memory of Sayid, Kate, Sawyer, etc. so the grown up Ben will not remember them when he meets them in 2004…which kind of takes care of some of those time travel questions.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>My big question is: who exactly is Richard Alpert and why isn’t he the “Leader” of the Others? Is he a guide of some kind, or some sort of spiritual advisor to whoever is the Leader? He is always there, but the actual leaders change over time. I really hope the show explains more about his backstory and role on the island. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>H, I completely agree about Kate…while watching the show last night I actually was thinking, “I don’t hate Kate as much as usual in this one.” I really felt for her as she realized that it was her needing Aaron more than him needing her which was keeping her going. And I have some hope that she won’t interfere too much with Sawyer and Juliet.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Sawyer, he really is just fantastic. Even wearing that ugly jumpsuit. J Seriously, the evolution of his character has been very cool to watch. And the fact that he is now the voice of reason and the protector, rather than Jack, is such a good twist. Jack is just annoying…although I did enjoy it when Juliet pointed out to him that none of them needed saving…that he was no longer (if he ever was) the savior of the Losties. Maybe he can go try and save Rose and Bernard, wherever they happen to be?<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>LOVED when older Ben woke up and Locke was sitting there, alive. It almost looked like actual, genuine fear in Ben’s eyes. But we shall see.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>LOST just keeps getting better and better…I am already sad that we are getting close to the home stretch.
