As per Ryans suggestion
Christian is like American Express, he's everywhere you want to be
2 of us think that this weeks episode was a let down, anyone else?
We met Radinsky, we met baby Ethan and childhood Ben... but no other big reveals.
Although, where is Daniel? Supposedly he's not around anymore. Death, time travel or maybe working a secret time travel project with Dharma?
And where the hell is Desmond?

I don't think this episode was that much of a let down. It was a good set-up for the rest of the season. There was also a very interesting scene with Sun and Lapidus at the Pala Ferry. Why do you think that everything was so torn down? The passing of the 3 years alone couldn't be to blame, because all of the windows were also boarded up.
ReplyDeleteAlso, was I the only one that noticed the numbers playing on the radio when Lapidus landed the plane?
ReplyDeleteAnd the fact that Ben met the survivors a long time ago is a pretty big reveal.
ReplyDeleteToo many times this season we have said, "It was a good set up episode". I was bored with this episode. Ben seeing Sayid wasn't that exciting. I don't remember meeting people when I was 8. I'm sure ben didn't remember him. Interesting info in the audio podcast this week on ABC.com and as always the video podcast is a waste of 5 minute. Coffelt, if you are correct about the numbers than good catch.
ReplyDeleteEh, I've only considered one other episode this season to be a set-up episode. That was The Little Prince, Episode 4. I think sometimes you guys want too much too soon. Not every episode can have a huge (and obvious) reveal or shocking twist. Sometimes episodes have to build things up and develop characters. This episode did that, but it also moved the story along, so I can't see how it can be considered a bad episode. In my mind, a bad episode is one that is either silly and unbelievable (Stranger in a Strange Land, Fire and Water) or does nothing to move the story or characters along (Expose).
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to agree with John_RC on this one. I liked it. I just think that we're getting too used to getting answers already. Couple things I took away from it:
ReplyDeleteWhen are Sun/Locke/Lapidus/etc? And again, why is DHARMAville all torn up. Did the others never return in the three (or more) years that they were off island? Or are they somewhere between the Purge and the original plane crash?
I think that little Ben may have already been in contact with Richard by the time he talks with Sayid The way he was asking those questions seemed more like a test/"maybe I'll help him escape" than anything else to me.
Coincidence that it seems as if they found the time wheel and then started designing/building the Swan? (Faraday was around for discovery of time wheel and is now gone...thats how I got that timeline).
Mini prediction: It seems like every time the writers have come to a spot this season where major issues with time travel could arise, they take took the easy way out and time jumped the gang. Christian told Sun and Lapidus they had a long journey ahead. All this into account, I say Sun somehow gets back into the past and, just as the shit is about to hit the fan, the entire group time jumps (how I'm not sure yet) back to present time with Locke. I'm betting it will be during the finale and that will be the last we see/learn/care about anything DHARMA again (kinda like the statue).
