Yeah, seriously...the Temple figures to be a player the rest of this season. They first mentioned "The Temple" in the season 3 finale, right? A full two years later we might finally get to see inside it I hope.

Yup. The Others were trying to get to the Temple at the end of Season 3...something about it being the safest place?
I think I'll be satisfied with Lost when they explain what Smokey is.

WHAT A FRAKING GOOD EPISODE. .. unlike last week.
Some questions answered: Why was Ben beat up (although we all guessed correctly) Why did Ben wait to kill Locke How did Ben get Alex How did Widmore get banned from the island.. My question is... Why was there a mini-temple like structure in Ben's house..where he drained a pond and talked to someone? Did I miss something here?

alex = hot
What did she say to Ben? Who did she say that Ben was planning on killing? I replayed it a couple of times and couldn't quite understand her. add: Duh....^^^ I thought she was saying somebody's name, but she said, "I know you're planning to kill him again." That makes sense and if i wasn't such a retard on this show I could have figured this out without having to read a recap.

Dang what an episode. So Rousseau saw Ben more than once obviously. And I guess that explains why she wouldn't confront them? Although I find that hard to believe honestly that she knew her daughter was probably still on the Island and wouldn't ever attempt to test what Ben said to her.
We've seen smokey turn into something important before (Eko's brother, Kate's horse - will we ever get that story?) but I am pretty sure that's the first time we saw it confront the person. Alex turned went from 0 to B quickly. I enjoyed that tremendously. I think Ben is going to be ignorant enough to try and still get Locke killed. So are we to believe that Ben killed Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Jack, Jin, and Juliette? How does Charlotte get saved? Did he save Juliette before the purge? Since we know somehow she was important to him? Looks like we get Miles backstory next week. That should be interesting. I think Hurley is going to discover he shares his ability..... So if it's true that Hurley can talk to dead people, which is now a theory, that would mean Dave made it to the Island at some point? Or do dead peoples souls just go to the Island? That is something I can't wait to see explained. We also now know what the statue was I think. Anubis, right? Edit: OH, I ALMOST FORGOT!!!! What was it that crazy girl said to Lapidus? Something about something in the shadow of the statue? That was weird.

I think we can all agree on the over-all greatness of this mythology heavy episode, but a few things stick out in my mind...
Ben doesn't remember that they were in the DHARMA initiative? Oh how convenient...That is SO WEAK. SO WEAK. Unbelievably weak. What a freaking cop out. Boooooo. Boooo to Cuse and Lindelof for that. I do not approve. What a fascinating study in Ben this episode was. He was all over the place. Every scene had him contradicting things he said in the last one. I couldn't tell if he really thought Locke was coming back to life or not, if he wanted to help Locke or to kill him...he started Cesar against Locke...then stole his gun...then shot Cesar...then apparently was going to kill Locke again...and am I supposed to believe that Ben's going to stop trying to kill Locke now? Actually...what IS Ben going to do now? I think what he ended up telling Sun was close(ish) to the truth...I think he was really freaked out by the fact that Locke was resurrected. Where are The Others? So John just "knows" things now, huh? That was kind of cool. It was especially cool seeing Ben annoyed at that fact. Widmore said he spent 20 years trying to get back to the island and the island wouldn't let him. So why did it let Ben? This episode certainly blurred the line on Widmore for me...I don't know what to make of him now and his involvement in all of this. That Widmore wanted to kill Rousseau and Alex, and Ben wanted to keep them alive was the opposite of what I would have expected. It seems neither of them are nice men and this really is just a power struggle over the island. I hope there's more to it than that.

I have to believe that Jack and certain others don't get purged somehow.... Otherwise why did "we have to go back Kate" happen? We have to go back to get killed?

They're in 1977. The Purge happens circa 1992.
I think the 815'ers get out of that timeline long before the purge happens. I'll repeat my theory about "the incident" mentioned in the Swan Orientation Film (copyright 1980)....I think "the incident" will involve our beloved LOSTies getting back to 2007 or 2008...or whatever.

Spoiler? Do you know something I don't?
Is that not a reasonable assumption?

Then again, the Swan Orientation film mentions the incident changing the way they do their experiments, and in 1977 the Swan apparently is not built yet.
So that kind of puts a dent in my theory.

I thought that Smokey-turned-Yemi did talk to Eko. He tried to get Eko to admit he was a bad person for what he had done. Eko said that he wasn't. Then Smokey owned him.
Ben accepted what Smokey-turned-Alex said to him. He got to live.

When "Alex" grabbed Ben, I actually considered, for the briefest of moments "OMG she's going to kill him!!"
But she didn't. How shocking would that have been?

Is the fact that Ben told Widmore the name of Desmonds boat significant, if Desmond is to get back in the action, like we hope he will?

Some eagle-eyed Lost fans noticed that Matthew Perry's IMDb page currently shows that the actor is set to appear as a character named George Hobbes in the two-part season finale of the show.

I think that is a joke. He recently remarked that he would like to be on LOST, but that he couldn't because then everyone would wonder "why Chandler was on the island"
And I think someone who can, put that there as a joke.

Whoever did was smart, then, because they picked a philosopher last name (Thomas Hobbes).

Dang, great episode. I hate watching it this late because most of my talking points have been mentioned.
As far as what happened with Lupidus at the crate, I assumed that was a handshake password. I think someone (Whidmore?) hired a group of people that didn't know each other to be on that plane. And the way they find each other is they have a handshake password that they ask each other. When Lupidus didn't know the answer she knocked him out. The sequence of events with Ben and the dude with the shotgun was fantastic. Created a completely unexpected moment for me.I love it when they actually show us the process Ben goes through to con people.

Good idea thig.... I like that.
I did find it funny how Ben didn't seem to care about the enormous crate that they said they needed "to move"

I have a question.
Given what we now know about Widmore and "Ellie's" long running association, why would she help Ben like she did?... And wouldn ben at least know of her? And why would he trust her? Something doesn't add up there

Yeah something isn't right about Eloise and Bens relationship. I wonder if she was the "leader" prior to Charles?

That comment the...err...other Other made when they handed young Ben over... something about "if Ellie finds out, or Charles"...certainly seemed to suggest they were both in some position to disapprove. A position of some authority.
We know now that Widmore was leaving and coming back (and fathered Penny)...was Hawking doing the same thing and had Faraday? So many questions. Anyway, Eloise, as it were, could have easily told Widmore about 316, and that's how Ilana could be Widmore's girl, so to speak.

Maybe Eloise wore the pants in the relationship... and still does.

I was thinking about u2's theory that Hurley and Miles have the same ability (of sorts)
Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if Miles went to the caves where "adam and eve" are?

I have a feeling if we ever know who "adam and eve" are it will be in season 6 at the end. But yes, that would be awesome.

The head writers/producers of the show have repeatedly pointed to the Adam and Eve bones and assured us, the confused masses, that they will be a sign that all the way back in season 1, they "knew what they were doing"....that this was all planned out in some rough manner from the start.
So I await their inclusion with great anticipation. Apparently time travel was on its way from day 1. I think we're not done with it (time travel) yet.
