I think the island was jumping more because Ben had moved it, but the donkey wheel was off. When they stabilized it the island was more stable in time.

Hello again from the guy who's always one season behind.

So the 4th season picked up nicely. I'll even buy the excuse of the writer's strike for not being able to develop the characters they added. And the season got better and better as it went along.

So now I don't feel like waiting a whole 'nuther year to catch up. Are season 5 episodes available online anywhere??

ABC.com.

I think Lost is probably the one show you don't have to worry about ending abruptly. The small revolt from Jericho viewers will look like child's play compared to the revolt from Lost viewers if they randomly pull the plug.

IMHO, you're adding an extra crunchy layer which the show doesn't have any real evidence of, and doesn't answer any questions. Sure, all things are possible. But why try to make it more complicated?

Because I otherwise find Lost to be rather simplistic and boring.

Apparently I need to check out Fringe. I'm not surprised, I'm always behind on these things.

Okay, time passage is warped on the island vs. off (which now that I think about it follows from the episode where Faraday was shooting rockets off the island). So that covers the 3 year discrepancy.

Now, is it just Ben and John who don't time travel or is it the fact that one was severely injured and the other dead?

Does anyone remember how Locke came to know of Ell=oise Hawking?

I just presumed that someone who spoke with him (Richard, or Christian) told him at a moment that we didn't see on camera.

I think Ben and John left the island under different circumstances than the Oceanic survivors, and so had to return the old fashioned way? Meaning, they had to crush. That's my guess.

I would also guess that Widmore provided Locke with a file on Hawking. Since Widmore knew about her and her whereabouts (him being the one who informed Desmond.)

I am curious to know if Ben was actually doing Locke a favor. Perhaps a suicide cannot resurrect? And I do think Locke is resurrected - not an Island ghost. I think he's alive. The van where he was being stored (by Ben) anagrams to Resurrection, which is different than what Christian, Charlie, and other deaders are like. I also suspect that Christian was always a part of the island...

Ben took care of Locke's body for a reason. Then again, he killed him just as soon as Locke revealed Hawking's whereabouts, so it's just as possible that Ben's only intention was to keep Locke alive long enough to get what he needed from him. Ah, Ben and Widmore. Both seem to have the island's best interests at heart (? - or not), but both are bad mother****ers.

To crush? I don't understand. What are they crushing?
