Lost - Season Three


Recommended Posts

A co-worker of mine has a theory (don't we all?):

The Others all have some sort of "power" and that is why they like Locke, he seems to have the power to heal. Richard has the power of long life (immortality). Ben has the power of telekinesis (thats how he manifested his mother as a child). But he's going nuts and in fact "created" jacob. In other words there is no Jacob, it is just Ben being crazy. That is why they really wanted Walt as well.

Not a well fleshed out theory, but has some interesting points.

I wonder if Richard is part of some group who crashed on the island years ago (like on the Black ship?)... Just how long has he been there?

I was discussing this earlier with Peewee that Richard could be hundreds of years old...I mean he might of been around since the days of the toe statue...

Everything fits except the Jacob part. I still think Jacob is a real person. The writers have said that Jacob is a real person in the podcast haven't they? Rappy, help me out here :p

Yeah they said just because he wasnt credited doesnt mean he doesnt exist and as we saw last night in some extent there he was but why was he invisible and how can he make a whole house shake...

You see my theory and take it for whats its worth is that Jacob is a Hostile always has been looking at his clothes it fits that and for the whole time he has been gifted with a power and no other hostile has so it makes him special so he is the leader but seeing as Ben saw his dead mother and maybe noone else can see Jacob then its only Bens vision....tho Alex said Locke may need a gun....christ I am confused....I want answers!!!

Jack also thought he was seeing his dad, Locke saw Boone, Eko saw Yemmi, Shannon and Sayid saw Walt (though he isn't dead), Hurley saw Dave, though I'm still not sure if that was Hurley going nuts or seeing things like other people saw, Kate and Sawyer saw the horse, though they could touch it (and it was likely the same horse that the black woman whom Mickael shot rode).

There may be something to the idea of special people having gifts of some sort. Walt possibly has a gift of imaging something being there and *poof*, it's there. It was also asked if Walt was seen elsewhere on the island. Walt also communicated to his dad at the computer... let us not forget that!

Ahhh I want more answers too!

Great episode. It can be summed up by...

OMG

By the way, did anyone else crap themselves when Ben's mum appeared at the window? Scared the hell out of me that :p

Sorry pal, you're the only one with soiled pants... now clean thyself! :)

Sorry pal, you're the only one with soiled pants... now clean thyself! :)

:laugh:

I really want to see Jacob again this season but I doubt we will...also maybe some origins behind the house he lived in...looks ancient...

looking forward to the podcast theyll be able to shed light on alot of the mysteries of this episode. especially richard alpert. next episode looks good hopefully roussou blows the others (minus richard, tom and the kids) the hell up. and whats with the air hostess suddenly being an other?

I just think it is totally bad ass that Uncle Rico is Ben's dad :)

He is also the same guy who played Lazlo Hollyfeld in Real Genius

Oh so that's where i remember him from! How much you wanna make a bet he could have thrown a football over them mountains? :p Horace was also the guy from Green Mile.

Good episode though. then ending was so shocking that i got straight onto messenger to get some info from Rappy!

For 40 minutes theres a chair with noone on it...and thats the episode :D
probably be better than another Jack episode.:p

:rofl:

I wonder if Jacobs hut was mentioned on the blast door map, i doubt it though...

    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
