so much for locke killing himself
YEa, but it's a technicality since John was about to hang himself anyway. Ben just squeezed some more info out of him (manipulated him as usual) before finishing up what he (John) was going to do anyway and then carry on with geting the rest to actually fall into line and go back to the island.
I thought that's what they've been saying all along, that locke committed suicide.
That's what Eloise said and that's how Ben made it look. We all know he's a liar (and so does Eloise - remember in the last ep. Jack asked if Ben's telling the truth and she replied "Probably not") and probably never told anybody that it wasn't really a suicide. What strcuk me was when John was already dead and as Ben was leaving Ben said that he'll miss john. It seemed sincere since he has no resaon to lie to a dead man. I'm guessing he didn't know John would be resurrected and is going to be very surprised to see him alive onthe island.
Gin isn't working for Dharma. He didn't recognize any of them, he knew her name. The pregnant lady is Ben's daughters mom, which is the lady that's running around in the woods with the rifle in the earlier seasons. Sorry, I can't remember her name, maybe Daniele? When she told him her name that's when he had the *** look on his face.
The biggest mystery of the entire island to me is the black smoke monster and on the same episode the guy said it was a security system for that building, which we know was a lie, or was it? <plays twilight zone music>
Dude, you've got two different things mixed up. Jin is jumping in time. He didn't recognize Danielle (Rouseau) because he's jumping in time and met her 16 yeasr before he crashed ont he island. He did recognise her name but was probably F'd up not knowing what's going on since he, A. has been adrift on a raft, B. dishydrated & lacking food for days and C. he's jumping in time.
As for him not working for Dharma, it is possible, but, he was last seen wearing a pretty good condition (if not new) dharma jumpsuit and driving up in the VW van that was also in really good shape, leading me to believe that he is actually in the late 70's. That works well with the brief shot that we saw of Daniel inside the Orchid station during it's construction (which according to the timeline should have also been in the early to mid 70's). So how did he get there? I don't know, but I'll bet it has something to do with a jump that happened when John "fixed" the wheel (thereby sending Jin, Sawyer, Daniel, Juliette and the recently deceased Charlotte to the 70's and John to "present day" Tunesia). Then when the O-6 were on the plane, there was that flash, which I think brought at least Jack, Hurley and Kate to that same mid 70's time period. And then they met. jin didn't recognize them at first (but he didn't recognize Sawyers voice either when they first met back up in episode 4 or 5, and you gotta admit, it's a pretty reasy to recognize voice).
AS for the smoke monster. They've said it's a security system, but I don't know exactly what for. There was mention of that temple where the frecnch guy lost his arm, but how far is that fromt he place where Lock almost got drug in by it in one of the earlier seasons (on their way back from the Black Rock, when Jack saved him and somebody tossed an explosive down the hatch). I don't know what it is and don't have a good idea yet. But it is cool!
Some other thoughts:
What is the room that Cesar is checking out? It's obviously a Dharma station, but which one? What's it's purpose?
"The pilot and some woman" dissapeared in an outrigger. Could it have been Sun convincing Frank to go around the island looking for Jin (Frank would be reasonabley easliy convinced since he knew Sun, Jack, Kate & the rest to go looking for them as well).
WT*? Walt? Is he supposed to go back also? Ben observed Lock talking to him and the others did alwasy calim that he was "special".
