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!!!

so do we think locke was able to remember ben's instructions?

Let's get it started!!!!

Ah the finale.. so bittersweet

here we go......woo hoo...

wow i am so freaking excited!

so do we think locke was able to remember ben's instructions?
Oh, yeah, I think so. But did Ben create enough of a diversion by...well...falling on the ground?

Oh! The coffin reappears

Geez, don't answer that phone.... ooooooooh noooooooooooooo!

will we find out who's in the coffin?

Oh, I think we find out who's in the coffin tonight!

in Previously On form anyway

Strange order to the "previously on LOST" scenes. We went from Ben getting knocked out, to the press conference, which happened before that in the previous ep, to last season's finale. Strange.

wow, Kate came back

did we ever see her back up?

Oh wow! they start here!!!

oooh i love how they are continuing from the last season finale!!! NICE!

Hey, Kate drives a Volvo. Nice.

didn't expect her to come back! dang...and she's pissed

Jermey Benthum?

Jeremy Bentham. Who's Jeremy Bentham? "Of all people?"

Oh my God!!! This is freakin awesome!!! She came back!!!
100%
Oh Jack! I just wanna give him a hug

soo i guess we are gonna see those horrible things?

will we find out who's in the coffin?

Jeremy Benthem...is that the name Kate said of the person that he had the obit for...:confused:

"Of course you're fine, you're always fine!"

sundance..so does that make sawyer cassidy?..lol

Jeez! Let a guy zip up at least

Oh Sawyer just said a nickname,aw.

Why is Hurley kinda not excited to see Jack?

Here we go!

Oh, picking up from last season's finale. Jeremy Bentham was the person in the box? Who was Jeremy? Did we know him or did I forget? They've been off the island for 3 years!

"Hello Jack" That's a top line right there!!!!!!!!!

How many times, I wonder, has Locke said "Hello, Jack" in exactly that way?

this is what i jsut found about jermey
Jeremy Bentham (IPA: ['benθəm] or ['bentəm]) (15 February 1748–6 June 1832) was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He was a political radical, and a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law. He is best known for his advocacy of utilitarianism, for the concept of animal rights,[1][2] and his opposition to the idea of natural rights, with his oft-quoted statement that the idea of such rights is "nonsense upon stilts."[3] He also influenced the development of welfarism.[4]

He became known as one of the most influential of the utilitarians, through his own work and that of his students. These included his secretary and collaborator on the utilitarian school of philosophy, James Mill; James Mill's son John Stuart Mill; and several political leaders including Robert Owen, who later became a founder of socialism. He is also considered the godfather of University College London.

Bentham's position included arguments in favour of individual and economic freedom, the separation of church and state, freedom of expression, equal rights for women, the end of slavery, the abolition of physical punishment (including that of children), the right to divorce, free trade, usury,[5] and the decriminalization of homosexuality.[6][7]

Des knows bomb disposal???

I love it...Desmond was EOD...by buddies would so be laughing their butts off

Des likes the word "Boom"

That is still a LOT of c4!?!

Well. That's a lot of ways to go "boom."

I guess there's no disabling that bomb..

Is Jeremy Bentham an other? Or a freighty maybe? Or a Dharma person that escaped maybe?

Jin, Des, and Michael... definitely not the 3 Stooges... maybe the Marx brothers though.

Ahahaha Boom. Gotta love Jin.

Boom! and boom! and boom! Great way to start an episode.

P. S. Boom!

Hehe, Locke is so funny with his casual "Hello Jack."

I said going in "I think it'll be Ben in the coffin"... maybe Locke though???

p.s. so now Desmond knows all about bombs... interesting.

this is what i jsut found about jermey
Jeremy Bentham
Yeah, I remember learning about him in Intro to Philosophy in college 20 years ago. Another philosopher name. I get the idea, though, that perhaps Jeremy Bentham was an alias. For Ben, maybe?

If I remember my history that's about the same time frame as Locke's name sake.

i read the spoiler i know who jeremy is...i will shut up now...lol

Here we go!

Oh, picking up from last season's finale. Jeremy Bentham was the person in the box? Who was Jeremy? Did we know him or did I forget? They've been off the island for 3 years!

I think this is a fake name for someone that has been on the island...probably someone from flight 815 who also got off the island at some point but is not listed as a survivor or part of the Ocenic 6 and since Sayid said there was no way no one else survived this person has to have a fake name....I think I know who it is...but not sure how to post things in a spoiler format in case I am right

So Ben's plan worked. He bought Locke the time he needed.

Oh damn! I loved that Locke look right there to Jack

Wow... Hurley's changed...

Keamy is soo evil, I love it.

Does Keamy remind anyone else of Christopher Walken?

Jack always ruins other peoples plans, I wonder if he'll ruin this one?

Here come the Others!!!!

The others have a plan. No way Kate would just walk into that

Ninja Others!!!!!! NIce!!!!!!!!!!

Whispers! Whatch out, Keamy!

Go Others!

This is all just like in the previews!

Was that Keamy that got taken down by an Otherdart?

ETA: Nope. But by by, Omar!

"Ben stay close"

Oh Keamy dusted his own man!!!!

Oh ambushed. Whispers too. Crap I hope Bed doesnt die
100%
ZOMG Sayid vs. Keamy!!

Go SAYID! If anyone can take Keamy down it's Sayid!

Go Sayid!!!!!
100%
Richard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who!? Richard! That's who! Richard took Keamy down.

Go Sayid! Go go!!

Or ya know, immortal guy can kill him. That works too

OK... as action packed as that fight sequence just was? Did anyone else think of Family Guy at the end with the quick cuts back and forth of their close ups?

Bye bye Keamy!!

"My pleasure." What an awesome answer.

"Fair enough"
100%
God I love Richard... so cold, so callous....

Did I miss something....gezzzzzz you blink during this show....who made the deal with Richard????

ACK! love the action...

Once again,

Richard. Alpert. Is. So. Clutch.

Does Keamy remind anyone else of Christopher Walken?

In this he does, but then I think about him in Mystery, Alaska...hehe

Okay, that's two down . . .

(I can't wait for Hitchcock!!)

my oh my....that was the arrngement....they can go? there is of course more....grr...wish i read the whole spolier...lol

omg
sayid vs keamy = best fight on LOST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

ben is AWESOME

That Was So Intense!

Sayid is so awesome!!!

So is the reason Sayid and Kate not having "visitors" off the Island because Ben gave them permission to leave?

OK... as action packed as that fight sequence just was? Did anyone else think of Family Guy at the end with the quick cuts back and forth of their close ups?Sorry, no. Guess I'm not as into Family Guy as I should be. What kind of Rhode Islander am I?

But what amazing choreography in that fight scene! Did you dig how they did that little flip toward the end, and Keamy just ended up gracefully landing on Sayid's chest? Amazing moves.

what's the threat now... all the bad freighties have been eliminated in the first 15min of a 2hr episode? Just the bomb I guess.

OMG Finally Keamy is gone. Sayid and Richard are my heroes!!

OK... as action packed as that fight sequence just was? Did anyone else think of Family Guy at the end with the quick cuts back and forth of their close ups?

You mean the chicken fight? Yeah dude, I'm there with ya'.

So that's where they got the idea for this fight. Coool!

Okay, that's two down . . .

(I can't wait for Hitchcock!!)

Hancock, not Hitchcock, lol.;)

did they say jeremy benfield earlier??

Oh Hurley... back to Santa Rosa :o(

Hurley Flashforward? Mental hospital. Is that Michael's mom.. yeah it is

Walt!! He looks so old!

omg
sayid vs keamy = best fight on LOST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

i second that

Aww Walt!! He grew up!

Walt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well. Walt's looking...aged...I wonder if they'll come up with some explanation for that.

walt is all grown up!!

Where is the spoiler everyone keeps referring to?
Walt looks NOTHING like he used to. Wow!

Ahhhhh This Episode Is Intense

Is that even the same actor playing Walt?

man
walt aint as cute anymore
lol

Waltttttttttt! Wow, he's all old and stuff

Walt grew UP...dang

WOW...Walt has grown...and then BOOM my ABC channel goes to a commerical just as Walt is walking over to Hurley...WTF?????????

Oh he's back

ed i know what binary is.,....lol

So...There's Jeremy Bentham again.

Jeremy Benthum again...so, its not Michael?

Wallllllllllttttttt!

hehe his voice. aw walt feels left out

again with jermey. are we thinkin' its ben off the island?

they are lying to protect? sheesh i wish i read those spoilers!!!

hmm
so jeremy bentham isn't michael

So we have confirmation that there are people who didn't come back, who need protection. And that includes Michael. That's a big answer, there.

Who the hell is Jeremy!!!!

Hurley still has those damn crackers LOL

Michael won't be in that coffin!

i would think sawyer would have gone back

Oh a classic Jocke confrontation

Is that even the same actor playing Walt?

Yep! Thanks to flashfowards his aging actually helps the plot of the show.

has this jeremy fellow been mentioned before this episode?

I'm thinking Jeremy is someone's alias.

Well, Locke is trying to convince Jack to stay. Jeremy Bentham thought Jack should go back. It's a point of commonality. That could put Locke in the coffin.

Lanthem has got to be Ben... I wanna be right! :rolleyes:

this is where the lie comes from....locke is sill trying to protect the island

I know "Stranger in a strange land" is one of the historical books...but now I'm seeing some of it from locke's line about miracles and see what I'm going to do

man of science vs man of faith in full effect right now.

"You have to lie about everything"

"It's not an Island"

Sweet, I was hoping Michael wasn't in the coffin.

Oh I wonder what Locke has in store, I can't wait to see

"Am I interrupting?"

has this jeremy fellow been mentioned before this episode?

Nope! Don't think so

haha " I don't know what they look like" was Locke expecting Ben?

And now it's time for some Bocke fun!!!!!!

Ha ha! "Couldn't find the anthuriums hunh?" "I don't know what they look like" As they just walk by Jack like he's hardly there.

Hey, if Keamy's dead, the detonator for the boat bomb isn't going to get pushed. Plus, we know Michael probably survives. So maybe the boat doesn't blow up.

oooooh Locke, if you do it half as well as you lie to yourself.....snap!

Probably the most badass flower elevator in television history.

Older taller Walt!

Jeremy Bentham went to see Walt? Michael didn't come back? Or did he die and Hurley doesn't want to tell him?

It's a shame there's so many commercials. This episode is really intense and still over an hour and a half left!

Locke gave him the idea, but Jack made up the lie?!!!!! Awesome!!!

Damn, Locke is pretty katty tonight.

Jack is his ole douche-baggy self tho.

ACK! great... you know jack and locke won't see each other for a while....

I'm still amazed at the opening scene. It was awesome how they revisted las season's finale.

oooooh Locke, if you do it half as well as you lie to yourself.....snap!

The best line this season!!

didnt hurly look sad when he said yes to walt when asked about his dad?

Hey, if Keamy's dead, the detonator for the boat bomb isn't going to get pushed.

I don't think he was dead, that looked like a bullet-proof vest. He may have been faking. BUT, if he is dead, it might still be pressed by accident. Hopefully no wild animals come around and chomp on that arm. haha.

Why, oh why doesn't Locke tell Jack about his miracle? Why doesn he still have to keep his paralysis a secret?

Hey, if Keamy's dead, the detonator for the boat bomb isn't going to get pushed.

Good point Ed! I hadn't thought about that... maybe Keamy's not quite down for the count yet

"We had to lie. To keep everyone on the Island safe. Like your dad. And Vincent."

P. S. Go Vincent!

has this jeremy fellow been mentioned before this episode?Only in the newspaper obit Jack was reading in the season 2 finale. And to catch that, you had to look at a high def screencap and squint a little.

didnt hurly look sad when he said yes to walt when asked about his dad?

I thought he looked guilty. Like he knew he shouldn't have admitted that to anyone, including Walt.

Older taller Walt!

Jeremy Bentham went to see Walt? Michael didn't come back? Or did he die and Hurley doesn't want to tell him?

Na - he's not dead, the grandma brought him. I do think Jeremy Bentham is Locke since he always liked Walt and visa versa!

this is SO intense, by the way... love how they tell us w/kate that it's been 3 years... explains older walt! walllllllllllllllllllllllllllllt

Well Locke was right about Jack wanting to come back if he left. I'm glad that Jack listened to Locke about lying to protect the island.

So we're going to freeze down the plastic explosives. That's smart.

Michael is such a bad, bad liar...

didnt hurly look sad when he said yes to walt when asked about his dad?

Yeah, it made me think he was lying to him . . .

Freeze the battery... that actually does happen in bomb disposal FWIW

Hmm....was that a weird exchange between Michael and Sun about her being pregnant? Remember their "relationship" in an earlier season when Jin was so jealous of Michael? Could they have slept together?

So I wonder if the is the work Michael still had to do.

Only in the newspaper obit Jack was reading in the season 2 finale. And to catch that, you had to look at a high def screencap and squint a little.
....or just read the 'lage a lot :)

so if keamy's death didn't trigger the bomb, what would?

Faraday with the action sequence.:eek2:

Dan is lying

Rose is hilarious as usual.

Now there's a great line "Everybody's safe." I guess safe is a relative term. Safe on a boat loaded with plastic explosives.

Hey, Miles, rule #1: Don't mess with Mama Rose.

Rose is so feisty. Miles wants to stay on the island.

Charlotte was on the Island before?!!!!!!!!!!!

Who told you you could eat those peanuts?? LOL!!

"What do I mean?" Awesome!!!!!!!!

"Get BACK Here!?" Charlotte has been "here" before? And now Miles gets all cryptic!

Probably the most badass flower elevator in television history.

Lol. I'm so mad Keamy threw the bomb at Omar. I thought Omar was his friend. Keamy deserved to die. Miles is so hot:biggrin: .

yeah what does he mean????

omg - what DO you mean Miles?

Get back? Have the ghosts been telling him secrets? I think they have.

What DOES he mean? This episode is killing me already only 32 minutes in.

Drawing at straws here, but is Charlotte Annie? she is probably way too young. But perhaps she was part of the original Dharma group, as a baby or something.

I wonder if there will be lots of bunnies with numbers.

Maybe Charlotte is Annie daughther or something idk?

Inside the Orchid... another film.
Edgar Hallowax. Bunny #15. Experiments in space and time!
negatively charged exotic matter

I don't think he was dead, that looked like a bullet-proof vest. He may have been faking. BUT, if he is dead, it might still be pressed by accident. Hopefully no wild animals come around and chomp on that arm. haha.

That wasn't a bulletproof vest he had on..it was just an LBV (light-weight ballist vest) it's what the military uses to carry items on your person and can be customized

The Orchid tape!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlotte was on the Island before?!!!!!!!!!!!

you are asking the same exact question I am asking...and my first thought was is she Annie??? but she is too young for that

lol @ informative video

Translation of Ben's last line: "Hey, John, play nice while I work."

Looks like a transporter - beam me up, Scottie!

The best line this season!!


I know!!!!! Hello fellow Atlantian!

"Here John, you play with these Legos and blocks and I'll continue the storyline."

So here's the Orchid video, the way it's supposed to be.

Dr. Edgar Halowitcz....a new name for Marvin Candle...and no fake arm

Hahaha, this scene is money.:biggrin:

Metallic object must never be put in the vault!!!!!!!!

if you mean time traveling bunnies...LOLOLOL

Haha, Ben is just doing everything against the video's wishes.

"If you mean time-traveling bunny... then yes"

"Time traveling bunnies!" Of course! That's what the show has been about all along!

Michael Emerson is the best thing to ever happen to this show.

The guy never ceases to amaze me.

Great lines in this one! If you mean time traveling bunnies, then yes...

Oh my god, who else is using the elevator?? Keamy possibly?

Someone's commmming

Haha! Rose!

All that time you spent trying to get back here? What does Miles know?

"Is this the magic box?" That look on Ben's face, like Locke is a child asking a silly question. Precious!

Haha! Locke's expression, don't put those metallic objects in the vault.

"May I have my weapon back." Great lines tonight.

Who's coming down the elevator? Why is he putting metal in the vault thingy?

"May I have my weapon back?"

so don't put a friggin fork in the microwave, i take it...

Is Keamy not dead?? Is that why the Freighter hasn't blown yet??

Oh I am totally geeking out right now!!!!!

Who's coming now?!

It's gotta be Keamy!?!

It's gotta be Keamy that's why the freighter has blown yet.

PapaBunny to MamaBunny: You'll never guess what happen to me on the way home.

Zombie Paulo. Calling it right now.

the bunny line is the best of the whole series!

i though charlotte might be annie/annie's spawn too

Maybe Richard?

Slightly OT: that Incredible Hulk movie trailer doesn't look half bad

hahaha rheems

Zombie Paulo. Calling it right now.


i change my mind - I agree with you....

I just looked at the clock......wow a lot has happened in a short time.

i forgot who annie is/was

Slightly OT: that Incredible Hulk movie trailer doesn't look half bad

Yeah, it's suppose to be a lot better then the last one. And a completly seperate movie.

My friend just came up with the theory that this pod is the "Box" that Ben mentioned a while back that can manifest what you want...like how Locke's dad got to the island and maybe why Christian is still alive on the island since we all know that he was dead dead when the plane crashed...it does deal with time travel in a singular point in space

char has to be annie imho..or maybe not...lol

I can't believe we still have another 80 minutes still!!!!

It's the killer flying bunnies from Monty Python's Holy Grail... run away!

i forgot who annie is/was

Ben's "girlfriend" when he was a kid.

I just noticed... was this episode co-written by Carlton Cuse Goddard?
Who's that?

Did they both time travel in the pod and then merge like in The Fly or what?

Kate putting her criminal past to good use

I feel bad for Sawyer :(

Meh, poor Sawyer

"for the handcuffs... right?!" Nice!!!

Kenny Rogers...ha!

Sawyer is SO not leaving. But wait, he's on the chopper. How's that work?

hmm
so sawyer's on the chopper
what happens that he stays

well at least they thought about looking for Claire

My friend just came up with the theory that this pod is the "Box" that Ben mentioned a while back that can manifest what you want...like how Locke's dad got to the island and maybe why Christian is still alive on the island since we all know that he was dead dead when the plane crashed...it does deal with time travel in a singular point in space

Now I am curious about something though...with all this time traveling stuff...is it possible to travel back to keep Boone and Shannon from dying and maybe that is why Jack mentioned Boone's name during the press conference....Just a thought....but Damon and Carlton have said that season 5 is about why they need to get back to the island and season 6 will be about what happens when they get back...put that together with the time travel and I guess you can have a lot of possibilities :undecide:

Kenny Rogers LOL

There goes the rest of the 06 on the chopper.

this cant be happening! sawyer better not fall out of the helicopter or something!

there's gotta be something wrong with that chopper... maybe one of the bullets hit it?!!

Keamy's back!!!

looks like Keamy was wearing a vest

Do NOT tell me the island saved Keamy!

oh dang, Keamy lives!!!

Jeeeeez!!! He just WON'T die!!

Keamy is not dead wtf??!!!

it was keemy...he's one reselent dude

So, Sawyer must end up with the fun happenings of Sun, Desmond, and Michael. Ya know if they wern't in such a serious position I would be hoping for some really comical moments.

ok, is keamy reminding anyone else of christopher walken?

Dead-mans trigger

crap - heart rate monitor!

heart rate monitor bomb... uh oh.

Evil bastard!

500 lbs????? Holy Cow!

Oh, stupid heart moniters.

ok, is keamy reminding anyone else of christopher walken?


hahahaha - i posted the same thing a couple of weeks ago ;)

Wow, Keamy is pure evil.
