Lost - Season 5


Recommended Posts

Great! Damon indirectly just proved all of our theory on the time issue and Carlton confirmed it by avoiding it due revealing too much information. hap.gif

Ajira people, Locke, Sun, and Lapidus are in the time line with Alpert + Others (who are in the temple) in 2009. Hurley, Jack, Kate and probably Sayid are in the 1970s. Next weeks episode, La Fleur, is going to be freaking awesome.

But Ben isn't the villain. Widmore is.

Ben just uses any means necessary to achieve his goals.

That's what they want us to believe :D

First he was THE villain, then he's not. Oh wait, maybe he's STILL the villain. This is Lost, I don't know who's what anymore...

'Widmore is the "big bad" of the show'

Either Lindelof or Cuse said it.

I listened to the latest audio podcast today (I've never listened to one before, was procrastinating from essay work). They seemed the be hinting that Ben might be the greater villain, which honestly I hadn't really considered too much but after todays episode I am starting to think that might be the case.

I guess we're all just as clueless as Locke..

Perhaps it WAS Desmond who beat up Ben, not in defending Penny, but Ms. Hawking. I think it's been determined that Penny's boat could not have made the trip from Great Britain to California in that short of time, but *somebody* has a boat at the marina, since that is where the group has met before - maybe it's Ms. Hawking.

Since his conversation with Locke, Ben knows there is a connection between Widmore and Hawking. Killing Hawking, and possibly destroying the Lamp Post, would hurt Widmore's chances of finding the Island again.

Maybe after Desmond left the Lamp Post the first time, he returned to get a further explaination from Hawking, and she told him to meet her at her boat for some reason. Ben arrrived at her boat shortly before Desmond and attempted to kill her.

One of the questions I have is why Daniel thought Ms. Hawking was still at Oxford. I guess this is explained by the fact that he went on the mission in 2004, and might not know of their banishment from Oxford.

Theres no indication of how much time has passed between oxford and them arriving in california theres no reason why Ms Hawking would ask to meet at the port im assuming she lives at the lamppost, why would Ben try to harm Ms Hawking shes the only person who could get them back to the island, the only people that would be at port is Desmond and Penny.

*edit* Just tried to work it out, im not sure how fast Pennys boat goes but at 10 knots even at linear distance thats not including having to sail round landmass its like 5000 miles that would take over a month.

It cant be Penny and Desmond then, maybe he took a flight from London.

Thats odd who could it be at the port then.

Whatever got Ben those injuries, it certainly has nothing to do with Penny/Desmond (as Desmond didn't make it to the plane). Giving the fact that Sayid was in handcuffs (and escorted by a police officer), I assume Ben had him fooled to beat him or something, so he got in trouble with the law... etc

Trivial aside: Ben must have wrote Locke's "suicide note" & made sure it "reappeared" in Jack's hands to steadily influence him towards the "faith side".

Boy, I really like the show/series.

Locke wrote his suicide note before starting the attempt.

Once Ben got the info about Ajira Flight 316, Hawking was no longer needed by Ben - he was going to take that flight.

Jill(?), at the butcher shop mentioned somebody that I don't believe we've seen, perhaps it's their boat (or Jill's, for that matter). Maybe Ben went on a killing spree before he took off - not knowing how many of *his* people were actually working for Widmore.

I hope not, but, yeah, Penny would be a primary target for Ben, and she did indicate she would be going with Desmond to L.A. - she could be a goner. For drama, that would be perfect.

I believe in the show's finale, it'll show the character's finale renunion & the conclusion on how they get back to their life & continue from there. Or maybe a last cliff hanger that would leave us wanting more Lost? :p

I would be seriously ****ed off if they end Lost with a cliffhanger.

And I dont buy the theory that Ben's act of murdering Locke was a knee-jerk reaction to Locke knowing about Hawkings. Ben always has a plan and rarely does anything impulsively. Plus, him having gloves and cleaner further suggest that he always intended to murder Locke.

For some reason he didn't want Locke to commit suicide. May be that would have prevented from coming back as if he had committed suicide he would have been reduced to a complete failure (from being someone very special).

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • 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
