Welcome to the watching live thread!!! Please try to keep the posts topicy and have something more to say besides "Look at what Kate did!!!!" or "OMG!!!".

Enjoy!!!

It's On!!! I'ts A Benry Episode!!! I think the name of this episode is very itneresting!!!

My nerves are already shot.

Here we go!!

Squueeeee!!!!! Bug Boy!! Dun Dun DUn..........

I am so excited -we get answers tonight - HURRAY!

First time my roommate and I have watched lost together since S2... that's gotta be an omen

A pregnet lady... How nice...

Geez I love Ben. Is ME the most amazing actor or what?
who the heck is having a baby? omg ben's mom?

Now, who are these people?

Emliy since she did it in the jungle will she not die??

is that baby ben?

Who is that and where is she?

Oooo that was tricky!!

Portland??? What in the world is going on???

this scene reminds me of M. night's " the village"

IS THAT ROGER WORKMAN


HE IS BEN'S DAD....crickeees

Good trick with the wilderness! I figured we were on the island...."not in Portland"

I never thought about it being Ben... Ohh.. But he wasn't born pn the island..

So... Ben's a liar, anyone surprised?

is that baby ben?
I guess so. Roger and Emily are his parents.
Does this rule out that "Jacob" may be a family member?

that car looks so familiar Emily and Walter - walter - interseting

So that's ben's parents. Dad named Roger. Roger Workman??

Ben's got his freaky glasses on. Someone's gonna DIE!! Or get videotaped ;)

Aw, it's Ben's birthday

uh oh, here comes locke with his dad

mad locke....

this scene reminds me of M. night's " the village"
I totally agree!!! A nice big B-day present for Benry... BTW Happy b-day Auroa!!

Uh-oh....Ben's upset that Locke actually came through! (even though, he sorta didn't)

Ben is TO!! (Ticked off)

So that's ben's parents. Dad named Roger. Roger Workman??
Yup...sure looks that way.

Ha, Ben is like "crap, i dont' want to tell you"

ben = NOT HAPPY

Ben is so EVIL he actually killed his own mother :eek:

"You do remember birthdays don't you?"...awful strange question? Do theynot celebrate birthdays on the island? Is this a hint at a time shifting thing (1 island year != 1 regular year)?

So Ben didn't mean for the tape to get into Locke's hands! Didn't expect that!

So that's ben's parents. Dad named Roger. Roger Workman??

I thought she said Walter -


Which is it and who is Roger Workmann?

this scene reminds me of M. night's " the village"

First thing I thought of too.

So Ben's pretending he didn't KNOW the tape was taken. Either he's lying (as usual), or Richard's pulled a fast one on him--giving Locke more than just James' file. We shall see.

Could this have BEEN a better opening? Nah.

Poor Roger. This moment defines his whole life. :sob:

who is roger workman?

I thought she said Walter -


Which is it and who is Roger Workmann?
I heard "Roger".

So Ben didn't mean for the tape to get into Locke's hands! Didn't expect that!

I sort of figured Locke's tape recorder stealing was meant to be a screwing-over of The Others. I wonder what they'll do once they figure it out.

"You do remember birthdays don't you?"...awful strange question? Do theynot celebrate birthdays on the island? Is this a hint at a time shifting thing (1 island year != 1 regular year)?
I think that's an important clue.

I have to say when you hear man behind the curtain you instantly think WOZ - and that was all a big dream!

Where have I heard Emily before?

Is Ben's birthday December 25?

It is I bet! Who is the leader??

That's not maccutcheon scotch...

Locke's mother was an Emily.

ben is such a joke

Why can't you take him to jacob? He lies!!!!

Ben is getting a little testy.
So the island had roads with lots of cars on them?

Hmmmm...sounds like Jacob is a bit, what's the phrase....."made up"

Ben is getting frazzled lol

Ben may think he was born on the island.
Aw, I love the Wizard of Oz

So...Ben's memory is "faulty" about his birth or is there more than one version of his birth?

Ben's got a "tell."

Nice Locke! Way to be observant.

i agree with locke! there's no jacob and ben lies.

Nice call bacl Locke!! Those two guys are such good actors!!! Locke is back!! So thats Ben... And his Daddy

I'm guessing his parents were Dharma.

Aw, little Ben.
oo Dharama buses

his name is horace goodspeed?

So if the writers aren't lying and the flashbacks don't lie, this is what we've all been waiting for.

Dharmastay?? What is it?? So why does Ben say he lives on the island??

Horris Goodspeed? We have heard of him, was it on the tapes?

Roger Workman was the body in the Van that Hurley got running.

wow, this is trippy so far. why did ben go to the island?

Oh snap! Ben is a big fat liar!!

And his dad is Lazlo!!! That rocks.

He reminds me of Sawyer - Roger Linus that is. ANd Ben looks like Harry Potter.

i saw the VW van.....even as a kid, ben was weird!

Anyone else notice that Roger Linus was Eugene Tooms in The X-Files?

New Dharma Video!!! Lau's are odd...Whoes the girl??

Ben looks like a little Harry Potter.
Annie . . . do we know her?

Ah, workman is just a job, not a name.

dang.....ben is the son of roger workman......no wonder

LOL. Apollo bars!!! Yippie! They'd better eat them before oct 23rd

Ben's dad his a very very happy man it seems.. Roger workman was the guy in the Car hurley found!! My dad figured it out!

oh good sawyer and sayid are joining forces YES FINALLY

Mikhail! running to find Ben.

Even better, his dad is THE Roger -- of the beer run Roger!

Dude, do you think he'll be upset they pulled off his daddy's head?

Yes Ben, we ALL thought Mikhail was dead

Ah ha, so the pylons weren't set to a lethal level, but high enough to make him bleed from the ears.
100%
B-u-s-t-e-d!

Ben is MAD at Locke I bet!!

Man with eye patch!
ha Locke, putting ben between a rock and a hard place

This is KICK A**!!!!

lmao Locke just doesn't like poor Mikhail

Locke is mad. Uh oh not good for Ben!

so when do we leave!!!!! YES

Holy mackerel, Locke!

GO Locke!!! All of the others just watching that was funny.

Even better, his dad is THE Roger -- of the beer run Roger!

Dude, do you think he'll be upset they pulled off his daddy's head?

no not at all.

"So when do we leave?" SWEET

Locke is not foolin around today...Ben better have answers and quick!

what if ben killed his dad?

Looks like Locke missed snack time this morning!

He's unbelievable, he'll stop at nothing. I guess I shouldn't be surprised after Cooper's murder.

I loved the expression on Tom's face!

Even better, his dad is THE Roger -- of the beer run Roger!

Dude, do you think he'll be upset they pulled off his daddy's head?
No wonder he was drinking...he was unhappy with his "assignment".
Guess another opening never came up.

I guess he REALLY wants to see Jacob.

I really loved how Tom just sat there and drank his coffee. :biggrin:

Locke is totally kicking a$$ - I love it!

Ok let me get this straight they all just sit and watch - they let Locke do whatever he wants - this says two things
to me
either - They are afraid of Locke and his "power"
or
They are looking for a new leader and Locke is it -
this is awesome -

oh no - Ben could have set this all up to give Locke the illusion that he has power that would suck

Man this is good... John Locke rocks big time (beating the crap out of Mikhail).... goose bumbs here... big ones :)

Looks like Ben waas pretty shocked that Richard and Ben didn't step in there...

That was just insane. lol

Looks like John ain't taking no for an answer anymore. And Tom and Richard don't lift a finger to help. Interesting. . . .

ALSO looks like Roger was promised more than he was given. NOT a good sign.

Love at first Apollo bar? :71:

:clapping: that James went to SAYID!! Glad he has his priorities--and judgement--straight!

So Ben's be lying, probably to everyone, about being born on the island.

John's BA again, sweet.

I know why roger must've had all that beer, if they kept Juliet stuck on the island and she's a doctor, imagine how much it must suck to be a JANITOR stuck on the island.

what if ben killed his dad?I could see that happening!! This is a great episode by far!!

*applause* for Locke! He's all business NOW!

Ben sure is losing power over the others

Whoa!

Gregg, This has been an awesome eppisode! Alex!! Whats the gun for?

Any chance the girl with the candy bar was Danielle?

Alex! She is not happy with Ben

OH SNAP....happy birthday DAD> alex rocks

The volcano on THIS island?

Hmmmm....smoke monster drill?

everybody is favoring locke over ben - love it!

He played that good. Does Ben make stuff happen?? Hostiles..

It's Smokey!!

just a what???

Woo-hoo, Ben has a bunny!

Lot's of children.

that was a beer can bouncing.. roger's a drinker.

lol.....squirmeshes with the natives.

Ben's BUNNY!!!!!! That was scary!!

:harhar1: to Gregg


oooooo...hostiles.....and the BUNNY


Bwhahahahaha..."hazard pay"

Where is Lazlo keeping the candy bar wrappers?

Wow, all the teacher's wip out guns . . .

!Whoa
creepy

mom is a ghost? is this the others? oh it is the others....

Who was at the window? I have bad reception today.

Dude was that his MOTHER

alright...I think I just soiled myself...who was the chick in the window?

Who was at the window? I have bad reception today.
Ben's mother?

I want to hear the tape. . .

Who was at the window? I have bad reception today.
An image of "Ben's dead Mother". ;)

She shouldn't have told JAck about that.. I hope we get to actually see jacob!!

:harhar1: to Gregg


oooooo...hostiles.....and the BUNNY


Bwhahahahaha..."hazard pay"

Where is Lazlo keeping the candy bar wrappers?


snark a licious


go hijinx

Locke is out of his mind!

Well I never expected that Ben started out being Dharma

So . . . what happened to the rest of the kids in the class if ben is the last one?

Remember Alex said her dad has a way of manipulating people into doing what he wants them to do thinking it is what they want -

Locke is out of his mind!

Doesn't seem like it to me. Seems like he is in complete controll.

Jack saw his dead dad on the island, and Eko saw Yemi. Connection? Coincidence?

Why do I get the feeling that the episode will end with Locke walking in to see Jacob, but we won't see him until a later episode? Just preparing everyone for a possible frustrating cliff-hanger! :rolleyes:

Nice Smirk Locke.. Is it just me or does Locke have all the good lines tonight??

The others look as unsure about what this Jacob meeting will entail as anyone...why are they so clueless looking?

You mean Alpert has never talked to Jacob?

And what the heck.. did Alex just lose her mind or what?

weeeeeee!!!!!!!

Why do I get the feeling that the episode will end with Locke walking in to see Jacob, but we won't see him until a later episode? Just preparing everyone for a possible frustrating cliff-hanger! :rolleyes:

Nice positive thinking.

Any chance the girl with the candy bar was Danielle?

omg!!!! what if.....could it be true? wow.

Ben sees dead people! :eek:

"Happy Birthday, Dad." Best line of the night. I know it even now.

Does look like Alpert, Tom, and Alex are three of the "want a change" folks Juliet mentioned in her video. Good!

James had darn well better play that tape for Kate. She needs to be taken down a few notches.

Wonder who the Hostiles REALLY are--?

I'm thinking this may well be the best episode of this show so far.... i have sooo wanted a Ben flash back and here it is.... I'm gonna enjoy the rest.

This is the BEST episode episode yet this season!! And I say nyet to comercials!

That actress "processing" Roger looked an awful lot like the woman at the church back in Nigeria in Eko's episode.

The others look as unsure about what this Jacob meeting will entail as anyone...why are they so clueless looking?

You mean Alpert has never talked to Jacob?
I suspect they have all come to question whether or not he is real.
It's time to find out.

Locke is out of his mind!





thank you for noticing. :rolleyes:

And what the heck.. did Alex just lose her mind or what?


No, I think she just inherited her mother's reactionary ways!

And what the heck.. did Alex just lose her mind or what?

Why, because she is helping Locke? Seems lucid to me.

Awww. I guess we'll find out Ben <3 Annie...but then he lets her die or something.

Every time Locke gets super confident and cocky, he screws up royally. Batten down the hatches.

I bet Jacob is a computer, like in that old SF movie. :eek:

Nice Smirk Locke.. Is it just me or does Locke have all the good lines tonight??

Sayid had one when Kate didn't know where Jack was - "of course you don't".

weeeeeee!!!!!!!


weeeee indeed shrinklady!!!!!!

Any chance the girl with the candy bar was Danielle?

Possibly, but Danielle said she crashed on the island--Black rock=her ship. But then again, she could have lied.

That actress "processing" Roger looked an awful lot like the woman at the church back in Nigeria in Eko's episode.

Not so much, really.

Looks like Ben has a girlfriend... How cute!! Wonder what happend to that girl..

Awwww children couples
little!Ben spoke!

Who is that girl?

awww i like this lil annie girl

Possibly, but Danielle said she crashed on the island--Black rock=her ship. But then again, she could have lied.

Danielle did not arive on a slave ship. She never said she came on the Black Rock. She did say she crashed. She'd be really old if she came on the Black Rock.

Ben's dad doesn't even care about him.. Thats horrid!!! He blames Ben!!

Wow....way to make little Ben feel guilty, Roger! "The day you killed your mom???"

Nice man. Sounds like Locke's dad. And a drunk like JAck's.

Geez, no wonder Ben didn't talk much as a kid. What a terrible father!!

everybody has daddy issues on the island....

Little Ben got saddled with loads of guilt.

Aw, bad father bad
telling the kid that he killed his mom
bad

/\ i sound so mature

Crap. I'm getting my facts mixed up. I don't know why I thought the Black rock ws her ship....

Man Roger was a jerk, the actor playing young ben though... bravo

whispers!!!!!!!

You guys are good, making me feel sorry for Ben.

Happy Birthday to you to you Ben.. How loving is that.. Ohhh... Poor Ben.. Watch out for the fence... Is that really his mom or a ghost?

oh my GOD.. there ARE zombies!

I can't believe his dad just accused him of killing his own mother. No wonder he turned out like he did. And we thought Ben was a lause.

Uh Oh, it's the dead lady.

Mom came out of the metaphorical box, eh?

mommmeeeeeee

Hmmm...wonder why his mom wouldn't cross the fence? The smoke monster ALSO hates the fence!

What's he sniffing?

OMG! They went on a hike!? She was 7 months preggie! You don't go one a hike in some random woods with no precautions when you're 7 months pregnant! No wonder she had Ben early.

Locke is being very trusting.

Is that gun powder?? I think so... Be careful Locke..

what's that powder? dynamite powder?

nice back up plan Juliet.

OMG! They went on a hike!? She was 7 months preggie! You don't go one a hike in some random woods with no precautions when you're 7 months pregnant! No wonder she had Ben early.
Oh I agree!! Where has jack been? Juliet... Who have no rights to say any thing..

Roger workman is a JERK

I sure hope Juliet makes them all look stupid, AGAIN

I Cant Stand Jack

Jack has a plaaaan

You think Jack? It's about time!

Volcano ash?

Jack is snarkalicious!!!

it's about time our losties talked to each other

Ohhhhooo...Sawyer and Kate no more Boink Boink.. I belive that Kate is pregnet.

Do you think it is a set up - make sure Ben looses the tape to Locke -
Then they trust Juliet to save them but in reality she is making it so then can get them easier ?

why does Jack have the right to choose for them??

Well, if Kate IS pregnant, might as well not worry about ceasing the boink boink at this point.

It's about time they started talkin' to each other....no more secrets.

I'm still not sure I believe Juliette. She's a LIAR!!!!

"Some catching up to do."

Yeah, I think so. . .DOCTOR. :mad:

Wasn't gonna tell anyone till YOU decided what to do, huh?

And what about all your protection of Juliet BEFORE she saw Sun's baby and SEEMINGLY decided to "tell all"?

IT'S NOT ENOUGH, HERO MAN.

There are so many new characters now...can't wait to freeze-frame thru tonites epi!

New names would be a good thread to start...

Jack has about the same right as Sawyer and Sayid did to hide Naomi until they decided what to do

Jack had a right to know??

What about all the women (and the Camp)? They had a right to know they were in imminent danger, from both the Others' invasion and the pregnancy illness. Jack's playing with their lives. What a tool.

OMG! They went on a hike!? She was 7 months preggie! You don't go one a hike in some random woods with no precautions when you're 7 months pregnant! No wonder she had Ben early.

didnt danielle go on her research thingie at 7 months?

I know Boink Boink Is weird but I got it from Moon Lighting...Love that show..

I'm glad to hear that Horace's last name is Goodspeed. InSc had the last letter d missing. Makes it more interesting for those anagrams.

[It shows as Goodspeed on my captions]

D/

I'm happy everyone is going to be on the same page again. Well, at least we think they are, we don't know if everyone is sharing.

So, the smoke monster is trying to lead Ben out? Interesting...

I wonder if Jacob is the smoke monster.

So it's BEN'S fault he was born early, huh, Roger? Nice to see you added to the Daddy problems of everyone on this Island.

Wonder when "it's time" for Ben and "mom"?

Still :mad: as you-know-where at "I had to decide what to do" Jack.

They're the ones that elected Jack their leader, he's leading and making decisions, and now some of them dont like it.

54439

I'm still not sure I believe Juliette. She's a LIAR!!!!
I think that Jules just wants to go home, and will align with whoever she thinks might get her there.

54439




And The Bunny

oooo sneaky ben

rabbit!

The Kid who played young ben is really good... How did he get the code.. Poor bunny....

didnt danielle go on her research thingie at 7 months?

I don't know. But it was stupid of her if she did. Women who are 7 months pregnant should not be doing anything remotely strenuous.

Hey Greggory, The Shrink Lady and I have decided that I need to be written into the show to straighten out those Island peeps and get our Losties rescued. Ya think you can get Darlton to dead drop me in like Naomi?

:biggrin:

he didn't reset the alarm!

ben is hearing the whispers

so Ben lets n the natives to kill off all the dharma people!


WHISPERS!

The wispers!! Not good.

holy moly, long haired Richard!

Poor Ben.. Looking for his mom.. How old do you think he is here... it's Richard... Is he a hostile??

I so loved Juliet :dog:slapping Sawyer and Sayid yet again. I don't even care that she's still playing her own game, I just love her and her bad self.

whispervixen is right about Ben: "Harry Potter grew up and turned evil" :biggrin:

What was the voice saying?

whispers and Richard

hey isn't that the Doctor dude

White Rabbit - Alice in Wonderland...

No, actually no one elected him leader. And they have a right to question his motives and decisions. Jack's only going to share information because he and Juliet were called out. Let's not forget that.

Jack has about the same right as Sawyer and Sayid did to hide Naomi until they decided what to dohmmm... good point. but I don't think that they were harming anyone.


I'll bet that Ben shutting off the security system is what causes the event at Dharma.

Whoa, Richard is OLDER than Ben??

Whoooo is this guy

IMO I belive that Richard looks liek how I imagined Sirus from Harry Potter... Lol.. The Hostiles seem nicer...

what about Annie
100%
how did he know his name - he said BEN !

hmmm... good point. but I don't think that they were harming anyone.


I'll bet that Ben shutting off the security system is what causes the event at Dharma.

Whoa, Richard is OLDER than Ben??

That;s what I was thinking. Ben looks older than Richie. But here it shows us that Rich is older. Plastic Surgery perhaps?

Dude....Nestor is even hotter when he's dirrrrty. He's still got his Evol Black Eyeliner though (thank GAWD).

Soooo, does this mean that Alpert is ageless? Veddy interesting...

Well he ages well!!! Bottle up whatever it is that keeps Richard young. I'll buy it!

So is Ben responsible for the downfall of Dharma? By going with Richard? Joining the hostiles?

jacob...WHaT?

Scary looking house... I'm actually a little scared about Jacob.

Which hatch is that one?

The hostiles age slower?? :eek2:

oh no, Locke and a hatch.. I hope there's no buttons

c'mon..open the door!

Is this the beginning of the end for Locke?
