Lost!

Yeah, totally lame.

Why would the writers make Richard say "he'll never be the same, you sure you still want me to take him?" Why give them the choice, which then makes it even more stupid for them to say yes?

They tried very hard to show that Kate loves all children now due to her own experiences but I found it not only ridiculous but insulting to parents everywhere. The kid is already evil. He's already SET A VAN AND HOUSE ON FIRE TO BETRAY HIS OWN PEOPLE. And Kate/Sawyer/Juliette can't pretend these things from their past/Ben's future haven't happend, because they have.

Sure, Ben has to live, but it doesn't have to be Anakin-building-3po. They didn't have to Nuke the Fridge. Something else could have saved him.

Lame.

Actually, it's all moot as there is no way Sayid should have failed to kill him without something else preventing him from doing so. Fully loaded gun, point blank, no interference, and the trained killer takes 1 shot and walks away? Don't think so.

Upon re-watch I did find something worthwhile: That dock scene has changed, ever so slightly, again.

Also notice that in the background a boat named Illusion

BEN: There's someone. Someone here in Los Angeles. Let me take you to them.

SUN: Who?

BEN: The same person that's going to show us how to get back to the island.

KATE: [to Jack] Is that what this is about? You knew about this?

JACK: No. No. I was…

KATE: [interrupts] And that is why you were pretending to care about Aaron? To convince me to go back there?

JACK: I wasn't pretending anything.

KATE: This is insane. You guys are crazy.

JACK: Kate.

KATE: Jack! Don't!

Compare to the quotes in post # 360.

Some pretty damming photo evidence relating to young Ben (aka Harry Potter Ben... lol) getting shot.

Sadly, I'm starting to not even give them enough credit to be purposely trying to mislead us. It's seeming more and more like pure laziness/sloppiness.

I go back and forth...some things seem like it would be more work to make the "mistake" than to not(like that ghostbusting scene in DOA where all the frames on the wall were metal when Miles headed up the stairs and wood when he came back down)......other things do seem to be just plain laziness(like the eye glasses in Frank's shirt pocket appearing and disapearing).

From that link

or why Richard has been the same age since the 1950’s. Who cares?

Considering that they've bothered to age (or un-age) Whitmore, Ben, Eloise, etc. AND the fact that Richard's lack of aging has been explicitly mentioned on the show (Sawyer if I recall correctly), I'm willing to be that isn't a "Eh, whatever" decission, there's clearly something behind that.

While this particular one (Ben's wound switching sides) appears to be a major mistake, most of what's said on that site is yet more, 'Why do they keep leaving things a mystery?!?!" whining from Lost fans. Ummmm, because if they answer all the questions, the show is over. Why don't you wait until the show is done before you start bitching about things that aren't answered yet. I personally watch the show BECAUSE there are unanswered mysteries. I may be missing something here, but I'm pretty sure that's the point of the show.

Ben shot Locke at point blank and Locke didn't die. I toss this up to the Island doesn't want Locke to die. And it doesn't want Ben to die. Whatever IT (the Island) is. Bah.

Certainly......there have been some instances where Richards agelessness has been hinted at(like when Ben asked him if he remembered Birthdays) to outright mentioned as a matter of fact(like when Juliet said he was "very old").
