here it comes... oh goody goody... it's wednesday.

alright...here we go!

I'm proud to say that I've gone spoiler free for all of the 3rd season!! Well, except for a bit here or there that's written in tv guide.

best phrase ever - 'previously on Lost'

nice opener, thought he was in the chair already for sure.

Is Locke's wheelchair part of an insurance scam?

Uh oh. And the jealousy begins...

Jack and Juliet have some secrets, maybe?

What's with the new tatoo?

nice opener, thought he was in the chair already for sure.
yeah, that was a good teaser opening

Uh oh. And the jealousy begins...

"quadrangle", "square" or wathever that shape may be... :drowsy:

this is going to be more complicated than we thought...classic

"this is gonna be more complicated than we thought"

My sis and I noticed the tatoo right away, what is up with that? Do the others have a tatoo artist stashed away somewhere?!!

"This is gonna be more complicated than we thought." I love the punchlines :D

what was Locke getting benefits for?

Yeah, I dont remember seeing the tattoo under the arm before. Maybe something Matt had done in Hawaii?

"This is gonna be more complicated than we thought."

Like, DUH!!

It does seem like old home week. He and Juliet are getting along swimmingly, aren't they? And all chummy with Ben, too.

Small wonder Danielle got fed up and left!

Jack has always had that tattoo

after the commercials, what do you think: flashback or island?

depression I am guessing

I'd love to know who was paying Locke's benefits. Military maybe?

Kate has reason to be concerned... or so it seems at this point

Does Jack have a new tatoo?

Finally someone is making sense! Please listen to Locke!

Please tell us the reason for Jack soon!! I am just dying to know!!

wooohoooo.. i have waited two years for this episoe..bring it on!!!!

I thought that was Boone for a second.

they must have done something to jack?

damn canadians...just kidding...

Is this another con???

If Locke is being used again I will be so angry!!! There's only so much that a single person can take!

Is M. Fox leaving the show?

oh no... Locke gets dragged back into his father's junk...

ah poor Locke, was it even his dad?

If Locke is being used again I will be so angry!!! There's only so much that a single person can take!

Well, how many times has Kate been kidnapped now???? HAHAHAHA!

so locke did not lose his ability to walk from the transplant....and he is lying to the kid.
100%
jack and locke are the biggest egocentric idiots on this show....

Jack and Juliet sittin' in a tree...

I have a feeling that they all already know that they are there.

crying jack plays piano? WHAT A FREAKIN GIRL.....god i can't stand him....

...and kate is wooed

and "awkward" now has a new definition

No, they have Sayid!

crying jack plays piano? WHAT A FREAKIN GIRL.....god i can't stand him....

Never watched Do No Harm...?
I love him, btw... :rolleyes:

this was such a dumb move... they know that there are cameras everywhere

That guy sure looked a lot like Pickett...

locke and benry sittin in a tree.....

Ben has a fancy hospital bed

No, they have Sayid!That is what I hate most about this!!!
Nothing better happen to Sayid.

Whoa! Locke - aim high!

Dear Kate,

You ruin everything, stop being such an idiot.

Kthxbye,
Anyone with any intelligence

Never watched Do No Harm...?
I love him, btw... :rolleyes:


no i knew he played...JUST NOT IN OTHERVILLE.....what a jerk

locke is rocking the good "last line before commercial"s tonight

Does Locke want to destroy the submarine? Is that why he kept the C4?

Woo hoo! True intentions of Locke's are revealed! But, why would he want it? I thought that Locke liked being on the island?

Now the question is why does locke want to find the submarine? could be to destroy it, he does like being on the island

That is what I hate most about this!!!
Nothing better happen to Sayid.

I know!!!!! He finally shows up this season and now they capture him! He is the smartest one on the island lately. Typical!

and please tell me what he thinks he's going to do with this submarine? Desmond said that he couldn't get away from the island.

When John Locke tells you he's gonna cover you from the rear--DON'T BELIEVE HIM!

Ben, the master manipulator, is about to go to work, I suspect. . . .

this show tonight is a bit on the strange side or is it me???

3 cheers for Kate not giving up Locke! Our survivors stick together!

the survivors do stick together...lol

and please tell me what he thinks he's going to do with this submarine? Desmond said that he couldn't get away from the island.I think that is what he kept the C4 for. Bye-bye sub.

this show tonight is a bit on the strange side or is it me???

absolutely. no build up or anything, just straight to the action. hopefully the action doesn't drop before the end of the episode.

Does Jack have a new tatoo?

no.. he's had that one all along.. just isn't shown often

Tomorrow? What's tomorrow?

what is happening with "Juliet and Sheppard" tomorrow?

hahahah
100%
locke is such a nimnutz
100%
bad hair piece

Ben & Locke scene... much better than Ben & Jack scenes
100%
WHOA -- he is warning his dad?!

Oh,ok. He wants him to call it off.

this is no good, i feel like the episode is pointing towards locke getting conned on and off the island. (like always.)

Poor Locke, he thought he was over this loser and he's pushed right back into his face.

So his "father" probably pays someone to take Locke out and it doesn't work, but he becomes paralyzed.

hah, locke got one over on anthony finally.

Has Ben been watching The Flame hatch too?

Wow, Ben saw right through Locke's plan.

Slick Ben has Locke all figured out.

Hurley's company.
Where is the man from Talahassee?

"you don't know me at all" i love the frustration in his eyes. terry o'quinn is golden tonight.

benry.....is a stalker.....he will not be ignored.

So his "father" probably pays someone to take Locke out and it doesn't work, but he becomes paralyzed.Geez, I hope not. His own son. How terrible.

I bet Christian is one of Locke's Dr.'s.
100%
Geez, I hope not. His own son. How terrible.

I don't think he has very much love for Locke. He is pretty ruthless.

Has Ben been watching The Flame hatch too? I would say so.

Jack seemed to find the "did they hurt you" question amusing.

Geez, I hope not. His own son. How terrible.

But he wasn't Locke's father, he was just a con man.

A freakin' game room!?! If I were Sayid or Locke, I'd convert to otherism.

jack....WHAT A JERK

this is so awesome... jack and tom seem to be pretty friendly.. warning him about the bug in the room with kate

Is Jack still hoping for that trip home from Ben? Is that what this is all about. Well, Locke's going to take care of that!

Yeah right! Come on Jack, do you really believe that?

that's what's happening tomorrow...

Nice timing!

jack is with blondie

Is he leaving the show? Does anyone know?
I heard a rumor a while ago, and this looks to be proving it true!

Jack thinks that Ben will act as honorably as he did.

Jack was so Kevin Costner when he said "I wish you hadn't....I'll come back here for you."

jack is with blondie

I don't think so, I think he is playing her to get off the island, he doesn't trust her.

"I will come back here for you" I can just hear all of the Jaters' sighs and squeels right now!

So had Kate not launched her stupid "rescue mission" jack makes it back to the real world and sends help.

WAY TO GO KATE, MAYBE TOMORROW YOU CAN SAVE THE DAY BY GIVING EVERYONE HEPATITIS!

i like sayid.....i understand kate sometimes...jack......i hope he is IN the sub when Locke blows it to hell.

why does Jack seem to trust the others so much now? Are they manipulating him in some way?

Jack wants his ride home, especially after he was certain that things with Kate wouldn't happen. He said "don't come back for me" because he didn't want her to know that he was leaving.

Well, now we know what Juliet and him were discussing.

My poor Locke he seems so broken. I don't trust that Cooper will call off the wedding, you can't trust anything he says.

Down Town!

it's not lost related, but i've only ever seen that visa ad with the song downtown during lost, maybe I don't watch enough tv

I think Jack has a secret agenda... He knew that they were been watched...

Wow.

What else is there to say?

Wow.

I think that translates to: "I wish you'd stayed on the beach. Then, one day, rescue would come. I'd be with them. And then you'd understand why I've done what I've done."

Still, I wish he hadn't played with her mind with that "Because you told me to--when you asked me to save Sawyer's life" thing. That really wasn't necessary. Except for the LOST writers, who can now use it to further complicate the James/Kate relationship.

I wonder how much he really DOES know, though. . . .

So had Kate not launched her stupid "rescue mission" jack makes it back to the real world and sends help.

WAY TO GO KATE, MAYBE TOMORROW YOU CAN SAVE THE DAY BY GIVING EVERYONE HEPATITIS!:rotflmao2: Lol. Well I'm sure she'd have no trouble spreading that around.

nice twists this episode.

It wouldn't be suicide attempt, would it? I mean, Locke is pretty depressed and looks like he is not exactly on his way to recovery.

Ben is VERY excited about Locke's recovery.

It seemed like less of an issue of him wondering why he hasn't recovered as fast, and more like a scientist taking pride in something that he has accomplished.


Yay Sayid!!

finally locke asks an intelligent question
"do you have anything to eat"

Way to hold her own Locke!

A swing set? The Others have a swing set?!?!

that looks like news to alix!

2 giant hamsters?

That was about the stupidest thing that that Other guy could of done. Now Alex will defiantly be wondering.

Awsome comeback Ben! What frightens me is that it might be true. You can never tell with Lost.

Clock reads 3:25. A.M. presumably.

benry never blinks

HAHAHA! Locke is good tonight!
100%
Here comes the cult sell!

Where is Tom Cruise? His cousin was already on the show.
This is all Scientology! HAHAHAHA!

hehehe.. i love sayid!! and this banter between locke and ben is freaking hilarious!!

Is Ben being serious? A magic box?

Go Locke!

What is Ben talking about?

"I hope that box is big enough to imagine yourself up a new submarine."

Ben is speechless, doubting the cult?

ben and locke...two sides same coin

"Because you're in a wheelchair and I'm not." Alakazam!

WOW, looks like Locke has decided to take ownership of the island.

i want a magic box that I'll make Locke come out of!!!

We still don't know WHY Locke was in that wheelchair. I want to know WHY!!

Box == Smokey??

see if i was sayid...i would be casing the place to figure out their weaknesses while they had him outside caged up.
i bet he has already spotted the weakness in their electrical system

and where the heck did danielle wander off to? here's the long lost daughter and she's no where to be seen??

They sure are making us wait to find that out aaronsmom aren't they?!!!

hmmm, good observation there.

very interesting

Phenomenal plot twists tonight. So is it perhaps the island has some sort of "power" to grant wishes and the others are trying to find it?

I hope not, as much as I like to suspend disbelief, that's stretching it a bit.

THAT is one of the deepest, kewlest conversations I've ever heard on this show!

And that is SO the core to everything:

"Because you are in this wheelchair, and I'm not."

Locke may well have more of a handle on this place than Ben suspects! But I'm still against his "madness" of blowing up the sub. He wants them all back in primitivism. That is NOT what everyone else wants.

So what makes Locke think HE knows what's best? Hummmmm?



Sayid planted a seed in Alex' mind. GOOD!

This is the best Locke dialog since Walkabout, Terry must have been loving this!

My guess is that this magic box that Ben is talking about is somehow connected to old Smokey. After all, where else would you get 2 giant hamsters to run on the massive tredmill that powers their electricity?

i bet you cooper = real sawyer...who wants to bet?

We still don't know about this "man from Tallahasse", do we? I'm guessing it will involve an upcoming twist?

Locke thinks the Others have gone soft. If you want the island's love, you gotta live hardcore in the bush.

and where the heck did danielle wander off to? here's the long lost daughter and she's no where to be seen??Yeah, that has been driving me nuts!!

Perhaps she knew, based on where they were going, that she couldn't get Alex out of there, and didn't want to get herself captured.

why is benry pleading for jack?

The walkabout people said the same thing to Locke - he would slow them down.

See Jack - you should have never listened!

Wow, Ben is REALLY freaked out by Locke's plan.

I can't believe that Alex didn't say anything about what Sayid told her.

its mchale's navy....where is tim conway?

We still don't know WHY Locke was in that wheelchair. I want to know WHY!!

I was just thinking the same thing - and if this is another one of ABC's false advertising, I will be mad!

So what is Danielle waiting for?

Be careful Locke

Rousseau has, for the first time in 16 years, seen her daughter. Bravo!

that is one TALL sub.......i am 5'10" and i have to bend over in one

Nice touch Jack!

Ah, there is Danielle!! I wonder if Alex will have any clue that it's her.

funny shot down the hatch

Jack Is A Dolt.....

He made a Deal with the devil!

I pictured Ben as more of a "glass-shelves-in-the-fridge" kind of guy.

Like Ben's word means anything, don't believe him Jack. Ben's a liar!

I'm thinking
Locke will die
In this episode?

Are these people that niave? They are dcotor's for Pete's sake! They have to have half a brain. What makes them think they can trust him? UGH! So frustrating.

LOL, nicely chosen words from Ben about the release of his friends.

ok... was it just me or did anyone else think that music as locke walked down the dock sounded like the start of "mission impossible".. lol

haha.. as soon as your off the island i let them go... ben a man of his words... kaboom!!!!

NO way!

Can you say big boom?

Well, if things were bad between Jack and Locke before, it's going to be nothing compared to now!

"Because you're in a wheelchair and I'm not." Alakazam!

That's freakin' sweeeeeet.

His father really is ruthless. Sick.

Locke looks hot when he is wet...sorry

uh oh.....Locke.......you do not confront a killer in his apartment...DOH

YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!! LOCKE!

Blow sub, blow. El Jacko does not look happy.

kaplowey!

Don't believe him.

Uh-oh. What floor do you think that Locke is on right now?

I'm thinking
Locke will die
In this episode?

Nadachance.

that would certainly paralyze him.

wasn that the same scotch that widmore had?

That was so, so horrible!! (sorry, finding a lack of words right now)

THIS IS HOW LOCKE GETS CRIPPLED...

WOAH!!!! That was realistic looking.....YIKES

Holy cow!!!!!! As soon as I saw the glass windows, I kinda had a feeling someone was going out that way!

Holy, freaking, crap!

Whoa, Locke is lucky he only broke his back!!!!

Wow what a bastard, I can't even believe what just happened. My sis said it seconds before it happened. Unbelievable. Poor Locke and his daddy issues.

That fall should have killed him.....It appears that their supernatural protection has come to Locke BEFORE he came to the island...

Whoa!!!! Nice Dad

wasn that the same scotch that widmore had?

I couldn't tell, but that was my thought too. Will have to check my tape.

how did Locke survive that fall?

Ok, we know now. That was horrible, I actually gasped! I can't belive he actually survived that fall. Now we know why Locke doesn't buy a work Ben says now because he knows Ben is as big a con as his "un-dad".

Wow what a model student, I can't even believe what just happened. My sis said it seconds before it happened. Unbelievable. Poor Locke and his daddy issues.

omg anthony cooper is such a bastard

eta: lol @ the language filter

Well, THAT was. . .um. . .well. . . .

Guess there IS a profit in murder, eh, Cooper? :mad:




I can see the future eppy regarding Jack: since he's NOT off the Island, he'll be worried about the fates of his people. So he sticks around to rescue them.

HOW can anyone take Ben's word for anything? HOW?!

Uh-oh. What floor do you think that Locke is on right now?

I'm thinking the highest floor you can fall from but still live.

This episode was a little slow, but that sure moved things along!

It's amazing that Locke survived a fall like that!

Locke in this ep is fantastic. Definitely makes up for what seemed like an awkward Locke in recent eps.

Why does the cop keep calling him his father. I thought it was just a con.

people have survived horrible falls before, it's in the news once in a while.. strange things do happen

eight stories...he should be DEAD

So sad. Poor locke.

Eight stories, huh? I was wondering which "number" it would be.

I can't bear to watch Locke cry like that. It's so sad.

eight stories...he should be DEAD

The Today show had a man on that survived a parachute accident - chute never opened. He survived.

Why is it that Locke's flashbacks always make me cry:cry:

He was with the man that recruited Juliet - what is his name?

i think that benry is a politician...he should move to DC

Good one!

Geez, Locke is used AGAIN

This is a little Alias like - Rambaldi-ish.

daddy issues coming to play again.

COOPER IS HIS REAL FATHER.
which means that Locke's dad killed James's dad....

Locke sure does ask that question a lot.
I see Ben is playing on Locke's curiosity about the island - listen to Alex - he cons people, just like your Dad - learn from the past!

cooper's really dad.. he just pretended to care to get the kidney

Oh snap! awesome!!!!! Best one yet!!!!

Holy Crap!!! Biggest Lost shock EVER!!!

OMFG! What?????????

I can't bear to watch Locke cry like that. It's so sad.
Agreed. It hurt to watch him. He was just completely broken.

Yikes, and the horror/dread of seeing his father again.

Are you freaking kidding me! His DAD!!!!

What!

Wtf? Wtf? Wtf?

*head esplodes*

Three episodes straight where the leading character has cried.

"DAD?"

Let's not even point out the obvious there!

best ending ever!!!!!!!!!

"The Man From Tallahassee"... HÁ!

ok......Cooper = REAL SAWYER
which means....BENRY IS A CON ARTIST LIKE COOPER.
and Locke is being set up AGAIN.

will James Ford just rambo his way around this island?

Wow the Others have great resources!!! I wonder if they want to see if Locke will kill him or not. Maybe a test?

Wonder why they call Alpert that? Is he actually FROM Tallahassee? Or some kind of code--a code they DO have?

Ben sure seems in control still. And he's right. . .John DID get him out of a very sticky situation. But what happens to everyone NOW?!

OH MY GOD!!!! anthony?!??

Has it ever been confirmed that Cooper is indeed the real Sawyer? If so, looks like Sawyer may have his chance to deliver his letter afterall.

Has it ever been confirmed that Cooper is indeed the real Sawyer? If so, looks like Sawyer may have his chance to deliver his letter afterall.


BINGO He is gonna go all Rambo on him

I think the "man from tallahassee" referred to cooper, not alpert..

Has it ever been confirmed that Cooper is indeed the real Sawyer? If so, looks like Sawyer may have his chance to deliver his letter afterall.

ohhh! good thought!!! hope that happens!
