Unless everything prior has been a lie, Richard is still alive because Flocke can't kill him.

I don't think Flocke could kill Richard, but the way the smoke monster parted like a fork and caught Richard by the throat. I'm wondering if Smokie could have pinned Richard to a tree with a branch through is hands or shoulders or something.

I'm also waiting to see one scene where the monster transitions between forms of Locke and smoke on screen.

Interesting thought:

There have been several warnings about not letting Smoked Lox talk to you before trying to kill him, that even one word seems to be enough to doom you to whatever that dooms you to.

Richard told Ben, "Let me talk to him, I know what he wants." Then Locke came in and did what no one else seems to be able to do to him...absolutely prevented Richard from talking to him.

So perhaps Smokey knows that the advantage one gains from talking is not Smokey's alone.

Hmm, that is kinda interesting. I don't think we'll ever find out. The time for answers is growing short. I liked last night's episode, but correct me if I'm wrong - the only answer we got was why Kate's name was scratched off the list.

Am I missing anything?

Again, assuming we've seen the last of Jacob - so no more Jacob campfires full of questiontime - I don't think we have time for more than four more answers at this point.


Which four would YOU most like?


(That's the general you, not necessarily Ghoulish Delight)

I'm holding out hope for a Walt explanation.

1) Walt & Vincent
2) Rose & Bernard (unless I forgot we already learned that)
3) Why the numbers kept popping up earlier and why Hurley didn't give Anna Lucia $108Mil
4) Why the island is at the bottom of the ocean.

I read a quote by Malcolm David Kelley wherein he said a growth spurt pretty much killed his chances at staying on Lost. He's almost 10 inches taller now than when the show began.

But I totally agree with you, I'd love to learn why Walt was so "special".

Lazy. On a show with immortals and time travel they couldn't figure out a way to write around a growth spurt? Really?

His head is frozen and is under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

The ****ed up casting a kid and realized he would age too quickly. Heh. They could have done something with him, with the time travel, etc. But, I wouldn't hold your breath. I think that kid is a loose end.
