Lost!

Aaru is not a sort of purgatory in the general sense that we think of the word. It is more of a parallel world where dead souls go to have eternal life.

Also, clearly at least some number of the people roaming the island are dead, which makes me really hope that the guitar Hurley was carrying means we get to see Charlie again.

I wonder if the people assumedly stuck in 2007, who logically should have ended up in 1977, were "dead". Maybe Frank and Sun "died" in the plane crash but were alive on the island. I get the feeling to come back to life, so to speak, you have to have been to the island before. I know this doesn't explain Ben but I think he might, for some reason, be an exception to the rule.

And yes, I think about Lost way too much.

I have a very old cassette tape I made back in college. I used it to tape lectures and when done with a class I would tape another lecture over the top....finally, I taped some music on it(Shonna Laing).

As you can imagine, after all of these years the sound on this tape is awful....you can hear whispers in the background almost all of the time and once in a while one of the whispers will come in loud and clear as if it were part of the song.

Perhaps the Island is nothing more than that piece of Scotch tape one puts on the bottom of a cassette so one can record again

Fvck!

I saw them shooting some scenes for Lost at one of the scenic lookout points here on O'ahu. Lots of honey wagons, so I get a lot of the cast was out and about.

Well, that explains why Ben's so sure Sayid's a killer.

Who the fvck, in that position, doesn't unload the clip into his head?

And I don't think I noticed before that Ben's dad is Laszlo.

And was that Sebastian?

I wonder if Sun hit Ben in the head with the paddle at the same time Sayid shot little Ben.

Of course, since the incidents occured 30 some odd years apart that's not really possible.....but, what I mean is, I wonder if the two incidents occured, in some sort of universal mirror type whatchmacallit, together?

Also, I got to wonder if Ben has the ability to travel in time like Desmond does? Perhaps Ben was wearing a bullet proof vest and perhaps this little, innocent Ben, is actually older Ben in a little Ben body.
