So Richard arrived on the Black Rock..cool! Also I read an interview with him online, apparently big questions will be answered in his “Richard-centric” episode (#9) and a later one, #15

The storytelling on this show amazes me every week. Remember how much we hated Ben Linus a couple of seasons ago, and how sad we felt when he he said he had no where else to go? Just awesome.

So glad that Jack has gotten over his crying jags and has become so bad ass. The scene with him and Richard in the BlackRock was riveting.

I too loved the beach reunion. How many of these have we seen over the seasons? I am a total sucker for them, because they get me every time. Just lovelovelove this season so far.

@Chris – That is an excellent point about Michael. I’d forgotten about that, honestly. It makes perfect sense now – it wasn’t the island that kept him alive, but rather Jacob. What about Walt? I’m sad that Walt’s powers are a storyline unlikely to be addressed or resolved.

That’s a very interesting theory about Widmore. Could be. It could be that the Others were all inhabitants of the Black Rock or others who ended up on the island and tapped by Jacob in some way or another. Obviously, flight attendant Cindy was somehow chosen by Jacob, as were the children (unless all children automatically are).

I really feel we’re getting so close to answers. We’re getting little dribs and drabs of answers each week, so little, but still more than we’ve ever gotten. I love that they make us work for it.

Let’s remember that Michael was also unable to kill himself.

And my bet is Widmore is a former passenger on the Black Rock himself.

That’s true, Jacob did say that, and Miles did tell Ben that up until the moment he was stabbed, Jacob hoped he was wrong about Ben. But he wasn’t.

On the flash sideways, I’ve heard that, too, but I’ve just gotten used to calling it an alternate timeline. I like flash sideways, though.

Hi,

Choice may have some play with the characters in the end. Jacob mentioned to Ben before he stabbed him he had a choice.

Also, I have heard the alternate reality described as a flash sideways.

Talk to you soon,
Michael
