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!!!

This is going to be awsome! Here we go......

Previously on Lost!

It's ON!!!!! Yippie!

Hopefully a flash-BACK for a change

Juliet is very pretty in this scene. I must say
100%
This is a flash foward!!! Is she one of the Oceanic 6???

Harper Stanhope is giving Juliette therapy on the island.

Ok, I think this is a trick-flash.
lol

TOM!!! Yay! Oh, I missed him!

I don't like her

Tom!!!!! its a flashback

It's Zeke!!! Oh this is a flash-back.........:D

ON ISLAND FLASH BACK... oh hell yeah

Haha, Ben with flowers!

He got her flowers!! Oh cute!

So now we're seeing how things began for Juliet on the island

So this is a flashback. Hey, they have CDs. Not just records.

What is Juliet going to with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths?

That was sneaky! Fooled us.

That was a telling pause, ben knew she wasn't going to be there for 6 months from the beginning...

Ben. Even when he's charming, he's creepy.

haha they totally tricked me with the flashback!

Yay! Tom is back.

Ben - "Yes but I lied." Or that's what he should have said. Ha ha.

Why did they go to the jungle??

Ha Ha Jack

Oooh! Ben's a creeper...

I hope nothing happens to Juliet since she doesn't get a flash forward (?)

Jin's English is getting very good. And Juliet looks very pretty.

Here comes the creepy weather!

whispers!!!

More Ominous rain! hehehe What could that mean?

And whispers no less. Tee hee

Whispers!

we haven't heard the whispering in a while!

hah i love how it rains at the most innapropriate times!

yey the voices!

The whispers are back...

"I'm just hunting in the rain, what a wonderful feeling...." :D sorry had to..

Did the whispers say Isaac ?

Ben is so awesomely evil.

Oh no, rain .. and whispers.

Who the heck is this girl stalking Juliet?

OOOoooo - the whisperers are back! Freaky deaky!

And there's someone from the past. Time travel or apparition?

Holy Crap! a loose "native"

Can someone get on those whispers...

Oh no.. it's raining... that's never a good thing

Whispers?

Oooh man that was creepy. There going back to season 1 'other' creepiness guys . . .

Harper is dead and Juliette is seeing her after she heard the wispers....Are we gonna see Smokey?

I wonder where this Other woman has been all that time. She sure doesn't look trust-worthy.

Maybe Harper is Smokey in human form? Remember Smokey took those "pictures" of Juliet...

If there's one thing I wish I could figure out is "why the rain?"

But is she really there or just in Juliet's head? and can the whispers be some kind of subconcious trigger

Well that explains the title. I was speculating it to be a known character.

Who is she?? Is that girl real or smokie???

can anyone send me a link to watch live please?

They're headed to the "Tempest?" Not the "Temple?"

Let's think of it as talking.....(behind your back).....what a gas!!!

Ben's stockpile of gas is in danger. The same gas he used for the purge.

Okay she is real.... You never know with this show!!

Oh so that's why they showed the gas mask in the "previously on LOST"

And what's this about gas that will kill everyone on the Island?

Jack can see her too - did he hear the whispers too?

Deploy gas? Heading to the what?

LOTS of whispers this week! That Harper girl is disturbing.

This woman seems like she's one of Richard's people

She's Batman!

Damon suggested looking into Shakespeare for meanings of the "the Tempest" in the Entertainment Weekly article

Ouch.

the baby doctor. nice nickname for her.

Even locked up Ben can still give orders

Aw we get to see how her and Goodwin met :)

Harper's real...the whispers are real and it's raining....not a good combo in my book.

that was sooooooo smokie. how else could someone get a message from ben?

Wow!

It's all the zombies. Whee! No character is ever dead on this island.

anyone else think maybe that other chick is smokey?
juliette heard this whispers before she appeared

Insert foot in mouth

Yes. Talk. That's what he wants to do. Last we saw them together, they had just finished "talking." What?! Wife?!

Oh wow, he was married

Goodwin was married?!!? dang

open mouth insert foot..hehe

Oh really? Didn't he hit on Anna Lucia??

Harper is dead. He was sleeping with Juliette in another episode. Harper has to be dead.

Talk ...or something else?

Oop! You can't lie to your doctor!

Sorry, Goodwin, still like Juliet with Jack better...

The Tempest is another hatch.

The Tempest = Electrical Station!

That 'powers' the island? Does that mean the houses and stuff . . . or something else?

I should dig up my Freshman English notes.

now how did daniel get a map of the island interior?

So, are we going to find out if they really mean to kill everyone? "What if I can't do it?" That would be easy to misinterpret.

....and there's 'gas' at the Tempest...not a good thing....maybe Faraday's group was sent in to kill by deadly gas the island inhabitants.

Poor Kate she is so confused

Where the heck did Daniel find that map?

Is he can't do what??? Poor Kate.. Wait did she act like she reconized Charlote?

oh the tempest
i thought they said temple for a minute

Dan Faraday and Charlotte are there to kill everyone on the island with Ben's stockpile of gas left over from his purge of the Dharma people.

Awe Dan, what's he trying to do?

Charlotte is nice to Dan, but if looks could kill, Kate woulda been dead right there lol

now how did daniel get a map of the island interior?Notice how incomplete it was, though. Like an old renaissance map of the New World, with "Terra Incognita" all over it.

The look on Charlotte's face when she saw Kate, and her hesitance to put down the gun makes me love her even more. I'd snarl too if someone asked me to take a gun off her.

So what did charlotte do before she came on this trip? she seems awful handed with the weapon...likes she had training. No one pulls a pistol like that without experience

Where the heck did Daniel find that map?

yeah that stuck out at me too
did the freighties have a map of the island before they got there? if so how

maybe they just stole one of sayid's maps

Like from the diary of the Black Rock's first mate, owned by the freighter's backer Mr. Widmore?

Is he can't do what??? Poor Kate.. Wait did she act like she reconized Charlote?

I thought she looked like she did too.

Harper is dead. Goodwin was with Juliet in a prior flashback episode if i remember correctly. Smokey is taking the shape of her.

Goodwin was married to Harper, why would be with Juliet later unless Harper died

Kate saw ?Charlotte before, didn't she? When Locke exchanged her for Miles Storm

That's right.. to kill everyone with the gas. Remember in a previous eppi danial had a gas mask in a bag?

Hey... isn't The Tempest basically Forbidden Planet? Where's Leslie Nielson?!

Notice how incomplete it was, though. Like an old renaissance map of the New World, with "Terra Incognita" all over it.
Ahhh...thanks for the catch Ed...like it came from a 1st mates log, huh?

Oop, and obvious lie.

Kate is very observent.
100%
Oh I do not like Charolete.

ok, I officially don't like Charlotte

oops sorry! the gas mask in the bag was from a preview! well it was just shown anyway.

Charlotte = LIAR!

Kate should have seen that one coming. She's smarter than that.

Kate is very observent.
but she hasn't learned to not turn her back on someone who is hiding things

Ouch! Charlotte's a tough broad! We saw a little of that a few eps ago, when she found the polar bear. She'll do anything to get her own way.

"It's very stressful being an Other, Jack." LOL!

Kate wasn 't that observant! Why on earth would she turn her back on Charlotte?

so they taking off flash forwards now... whyy

Oooh! Ben had that creepy Gary Busey licking Jennifer Garner's neck at the Oscars look in his eyes...

Harper is dead. Goodwin was with Juliet in a prior flashback episode if i remember correctly. Smokey is taking the shape of her.

Goodwin was married to Harper, why would be with Juliet later unless Harper died


They had an affair thereby Juliette becomes "The Other Woman"

What, did he order his "extra egg salad on rye" from the corner deli?

Ben is a bit of a creepier

Ha, an Other love triangle

I think he wasn't just bringing food over.........Look just like who?

She is so not a therapist

They had an affair thereby Juliette becomes "The Other Woman"
Agreed. and more reason for Harper to hate her now

So Juliet is the Others' Kate... greeeat...

so they taking off flash forwards now... whyyYeah, I noticed that. Another flashBACK.

Um...Juliet and her therapist don't trust eachother. WOAH! "When did you start sleeping with him?"

The therapist seems evil and mainipulative.

the therapist needs help herself...can't hide much on an island

Kate wasn 't that observant! Why on earth would she turn her back on Charlotte?

yeah that;s very unlike kate

a lot of people are acting out of character this season

This is what you call a complicated relationship.

Who is it Juliet looks like?

The therpist is creepy.

Why would Ben do something to Goodwin about him sleeping with Juliet?

Juliette looks just like the girl Ben loved when he was a child...

Annie was it?

I bet Ben likes Juliet..
but that is just a idea....Not a spoiler

Ben's flirting with Juliet hehe. Oh man, and in walks Goodwin to see her.
This is getting juicy.

Seriously, Locke needs to stop cutting up dead stuff on this show.

And what did "you look just like him" mean? And does Miles still have a grenade in his mouth?

consequences from Ben from sleeping with goodwin? hmmm. what's that all about?

Ben had the hots for Juliet...

Awkward much? Goodwin w/ sandwich and Ben liking Juliet?

John the butcher? as opposed to fisherman? Sorry music reference.

Aw, Claire is going to talk to them.
She's so cute.

Eww... was that close up really necessary?!

Wait, Claire asks questions now?

I want to know whose boat it is.

clarie is getting smarter

Wow, Claire looking all spiffy and even has an attitude. How nice.

Do you mean that Claire is actually smart enough to ask the question on everyone's mind?

Yes! Claire actually has a real point in an episode!

A numbered bunny? Like perhaps number 15?

Numbered rabbit!...ROFL

What is Ben's plan??

Of course Ben has a plan. "I always have a plan." And that remark was so ready and nonchalant and off-the-cuff.

And what did "you look just like him" mean? And does Miles still have a grenade in his mouth?
Was thinking the same thing. Whatever happened with that grenade?

Why does Locke have random money in his pocket?

But Who Do They Work For?!?!

Show him what???

About the rabbit... "This didn't have a number on it, did it?" *tee hee*

Please... for the love of god ANSWERS!!!

Who Ben, Who???? Please tell us.

Ben's already used that line with Locke, then shot him in the missing kidney.

Uh Oh Now what does Ben have up his sleeve

Numbered rabbit!...ROFL
Next he'll come in with the Dharma logo shark :)

Show us what, Ben!??

oooohhhh ooooohhh,, show us what? how he travels? where the money is? can't wait for station break to be over

John is doing Ben's laundry

Show us?

i forget about the numbered rabbits can someone explain?

Oooh! Ben had that creepy Gary Busey licking Jennifer Garner's neck at the Oscars look in his eyes...


Too funny! and so true..lol

you think they will actually tell whose behind the boat or it's just another teaser

Ooh, now I'm excited for what Ben is going to show us.

So far nothing else terribly exciting is happening.

This is not one of those things happening at a fast pace epi's but we are getting set-up for some big stuff I have a feeling

Since Ben is being held prisioner and the psych doctor knew from Ben where the freighties were, do you think it was ESP? Or did Ben's 'spirit' leave and talk to her?

WHOA! A pretzel AND a cracker?! That's awesome... maybe that's what Ben is going to show us...

So Juliet is the Others' Kate... greeeat...

Actually, Goodwin was the other's Kate.

Oh my.. Look at Juliet..

I guess she's continuing their relationship.

how very "From here to eternity" was that

OOOOPs I thought she was supposed to quit the affair??

But she already knows....

Ben was totally checking Juliette out when showing her o her new pad.......
he's Norman Bates!Juliette looks like his mom.

Goodwin works at the Tempest!

I knew it! That Ben has a crush on her!! FLipped a switch?? Hmmmmmmmmm....

Since Ben is being held prisioner and the psych doctor knew from Ben where the freighties were, do you think it was ESP? Or did Ben's 'spirit' leave and talk to her?

it's smokey
same as jack seeing his dad, etc

Weird they didnt show Ethan

The shot of Goodwin right after Ben shouts his name is a great shot of him

Thats cool how they went back to an old flashback and made it new!

Another perspective on a scene we've seen before. I love that.

This is a pretty small community to try to keep secrets in. Can't believe they're even trying.

The gas is something that Goodwin was playing with?

so Ben really sent Goodwin off because he was jealous?

pretzel cracker comment was hilarious

Ouch! Kate got pwned.

Does anyone remember - was the psych doc in the original scene when the plane broke apart?

Poor Juliet, she likes Jack and Jack likes Kate a little bit more then her.

Kate's hair is extra curly today

Juliet is a ninja.

Juliet ditched them - still keeping secrets...

Where did Juliet go? I bet The Tempest...

Now Juliette is missing? Who could have taken her when we all thought it was the Others taking the Losties?

or was she kidnapped?

36-15-28

Were gonna get some answers guys!!!! Excited?!?!

The old "safe behind the picture" trick.

Juliet is a ninja.
I think all of the Others have learned that trick

36 15 28...

oh boy, more lottery numbers for my mom to play

36 15 28.. Does that have any importence?? Red sox??

36 15 b28 now something behind a picture. red sox. HA!

Red Sox video tape

i wanna see thisss!

Widmore!

Widmore!!!

I think all of the Others have learned that trick

A whole community of ninjas..

It IS Widmore's boat! I called it!

Widmore's boat!

It's Penny's Dad!! And it's her dad'd boat?? Holy Crap!!

36-15-28 combination

Mr Whidmore!

He's the enemy? How awesome!

Desmond is on one of Penny's dad's boats!

Widmore

Widmore vs. Widmore

Widmore owns the boat! Knew it.

He got the info from the Blackrock's journal.

Wow Penny's dad seems violent.. Interesting plot twist.

Ben wouln't spill for no reason...

Widmore!
they finally confirmed it!

Ben's file on him probably has the same speculation on him we do
lol

Ahhhhh!!!

Why does he say he's sorry when he really doesn't mean it...or that's right, Ben LIES!

I want to know who it is. But I think I know who it is...

I bet Michael will be the one on the boat

The Man On The Boat.. speculation, anyone?????

Michael's on the boat...

oh let it be michael!

So this is why Ben wanted to keep them all on the Island. So that Widmore wouldn't get a hold of them. It's not exactly the most charitable reason, but at least it keeps them safe. This is what he meant by "We're the good guys." Widmore's the bad guy.

So who's the man on the boat? I hope we find out after the commercial.

I wanna know who he was beating up.. and who is Ben's man on the boat?!!!!

For the love of GOD, STOP the commercials

So according to Ben, Widmore only wants to get to the island to exploit it for his own greed? Seems like there should be more to it than that.

Here it comes! Is it going to be Michael? I say not!

Ok, sorry CW owns the boat and may have found the island from the log but how did it take 8 years to do that if he has all this money?

Widmore! I knew it. (Goshdarned previews!! *shakes fists at CTV*)

I'm still not sure what the point of the Juliet-Goodwin affair is to the overall story. Hopefully it will be significant in some way by the end of the episode.

I bet Michael will be the one on the boat

That's my bet too.

I bet it's Michael too. OMG, I HOPE we see Michael!!!

Why was the 'Red Sox' tape in a seperate place and alone? Why not in the secret room?

yeah i cant imagine the whole reason ben wants to keep them there is cause of widmore. and i cant imagine it just being greed on widmores part

New plot twist-

Widmore=Oprah

I'm so tired of Oprah

I sure would love to read that file Ben has on Widmore!

yeah i cant imagine the whole reason ben wants to keep them there is cause of widmore. and i cant imagine it just being greed on widmores part

yeah it just seems too shallow for this show, right?

Hard to say what Widmore wants, since we don't really know what the island is all about yet.

i wish locke would read widmores file and see penny is his daughter. oooo

For the love of GOD, STOP the commercials

lol Couldn't have said it better. :D

My money is on Michael, too. And Walt, of course

....yeah it's back

Where's the blood that was on her face??

New plot twist-

Widmore=Oprah

:eek2: :rotflmao2:

Ben is smitten

hahahaha anyone relate the dharma initiative videos to the man on the boat. If you remember correctly there was a glitch in one of them, i think the numbered bunny one which shows someone

It's OK, Kate, you get off and for some reason you end up with Aaron... don't worry so much

There's the Tempest!

This is the Tempest? Not what I pictured..

juliet made it

Wait, is this a flashback of her checking on Goodwin, or... no.

So who recorded the tape of Widmore? Was the tape the same Red Sox tape that Ben showed Jack when he was captive in the Hydra?

Is this a date?

Date night?? Ben is so cute in the flashbacks....

Ben's so cute when he's flirting. No he's not.

"It's one of my special numbered rabbits..."

Aw, Ben is really excited haha
