I thought it was a brilliant thought. We've never heard from Annie again and surely they wouldn't have made such a big deal of her as Ben's only friend to leave us haning about her survival. What if Ben sent her away before the purge and they've been in cahoots since. Even Ben shooting her could have been part of their plan to throw everyone (including the other people from the freighter) off.<BR/><BR/>I'm telling you, Annie will come back and she'll mean something to the story. Ben is very capable of having a huge long term plan like this.<BR/><BR/>Not sure why she deleted her comment, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I've not heard anyone, anywhere else associate Charlotte and Annie!Matthew Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915947364950259590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-72891834600605656832008-02-08T18:03:00.000-05:002008-02-08T18:03:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825088589163315464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-6119713855915087982008-02-08T16:34:00.000-05:002008-02-08T16:34:00.000-05:00Maybe the man on the boat isn't on the boat anymor...Maybe the man on the boat isn't on the boat anymore, but is one of the 4 new people. There are rumblings it might be Charlotte. She knew what, when and where to go looking for the polar bear and the DHARMA collar. Shooting her would be a great way of throwing people off the scent that they might be connected. She also talked to the Losties like the others talk. Maybe it's a stretch.

We make many assumptions about our universe such as that we are dealing with items are macroscopic in size, where things move much slower than the speed of light, that there are only three spacial dimensions, and probably many more that we aren't even aware of. But when we venture beyond our world, when we travel at sublight speeds, when we look at microscopic objects, and so on, the natural rules that we take for granted may not hold there.Brian Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850766773943226299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-30468183490140173172008-02-08T15:08:00.000-05:002008-02-08T15:08:00.000-05:00obscure: I'm with you on the "don't have a mind fo...obscure: I'm with you on the "don't have a mind for science" thing, but I know Hawking touched on the idea in his book that I slogged through in the summer.

It would make the most sense and explain why he is unavailable when Miles calls him. Also, why does Miles have to talk to George and only George? Does he not trust Regina, who picked up the phone first? I can also see why people would suspect Michael of being the spy, but I can't really believe that Mike would betray his friends twice. That is of course unless the coordinates Ben gave him led to some type of "brainwashing station", and Michael is under employment of the Others. Either way, great episode, and this season is off to an exciting start!Brandon Kotowski/ job: fan of LOSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569782134868768418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-62395561545984004942008-02-08T14:11:00.000-05:002008-02-08T14:11:00.000-05:00Nikki: I think Lindelof has said they will explain...Nikki: I think Lindelof has said they will explain at some point why Walt has aged so much since we last saw him (and it won't just be because the actor went through puberty). My take is that time moves differently on the island than it does off, which is why Walt has appeared to age rapidly after leaving while someone like, say, Aaron, ages normally on the island.<BR/><BR/>I don't really have a mind for science, but my understanding is that there's something called the twin paradox that might apply here. Basically, you have two twins. One stays on Earth and the other hops in a rocket and flies into space. When the twin in space returns, he will discover that he's aged less than the twin on Earth. I don't quite understand how this works, but the basic idea might be what's happening here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-83435700035608482262008-02-08T14:00:00.000-05:002008-02-08T14:00:00.000-05:00We almost certainly will see Mikhail in flashbacks...We almost certainly will see Mikhail in flashbacks at least.<BR/><BR/>Will he be back alive again?

Unless they brought him specifically because of his island knowledge, not knowing he'd be giving info to Ben?<BR/><BR/>Then again, I'd find it hard to believe we'll ever be able to see Walt w/o Michael at this point, after everything Michael did to get him back. <BR/><BR/>So maybe they're both on the boat, Michael hired on by the crew for his insider info, and Walt tagging along because Michael won't let him out of his sight, and Walt is feeding Ben info somehow, for whatever reason.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-56034027627543368792008-02-08T13:43:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:43:00.000-05:00Brian: Ah... so Crazy Mikki could be back?

When I first watched it, I thought it was a gasmask, but it didn't look like there was anything over the mouth, and a gasmask would cover the entire face. It looked more like a scuba mask to me, so that's why I said it. But you're probably right. (The ones that Ben and Kelvin used, by the way, looked very different; they were army green and were a more traditional-looking gasmask.)<BR/><BR/>Teebore: YAY!!! <BR/><BR/>obscure: Walt would make perfect sense... except the actor who plays him is now almost 16, and Walt is 12. I think the only way they can use that actor is through flashforwards, and it would be tough to use him on the island (notice how little he spoke when he appeared in Looking-Glass).
