TV ADDICT what are your thoughts regarding ABC’s decision to have Lost run for 3 more 18 episode seasons?

Personally i would have perfered Two, 22 episode seasons.

ABCs decision just allows for more repeats and a whole more year of us scratching out heads.

Hey Frank,

Thanks for asking… check out my post on the subject here:

http://www.thetvaddict.com/2007/05/07/lost-set-for-three-more-seasons/

So Ben hasn’t been on the island ALL his life I guess.

Unless the island really is just a big forest in Portland!

So Bens Dad is Roger from the Vw Van, right

seat42f… great observation… although I never remember little details like that. I watch too much TV!

You mean 16 episode seasons. I like the idea. I agree with The TV Addict that tighter story-telling means fewer filler episodes.

Young Ben…nerd alert!

is Roger ( bens Dad) uncle ricco from Nap Dynamite?

HA! Couldn”t place him!!

Mr. Goodspeed? sounds like a character that would be in an Austin Powers movie.

LOCKE is BACK!!!! bout time

Man, when Tom kidnapped Walt I HATED that guy! Now?…loving him!!

I like the new PC/Mac commercials. Just curious, does anyone have Vista? If so, is it full of problems or better than expected?

seat = OSX guy

if you haven’t seen… traveler is really good… should have been on before Lost all season

Any bets on how many episodes until ABC cancels Traveler? Four maybe.

Todd…. by dog is named ‘mac’ for a reason… there shall be no blasphemous ‘windows’ talk on theTVaddict.com

I have vista and it works fine for me.

Nice sarcasm, Alex. and thanks for the piece!!

So is Benflat out lying about being born on the island, or is he being figurative?

in case anyone did hear/read…… Bens Mom in Lost is Bens(the actors) wife in real life…. crazy casting

So do you think Jacob is someone we already know? Seems to me that when, and if they show him that would make for a bigger shock.

there’s a ABC 2007/2008 schedule making the rounds minus Traveler so unless it goes gangbusters its gonzo

seat42f… yeah I read that somewhere, and Rhonda, I definitely think we’ve already met Jacob… who he is, I of course have no idea.

seat42f… where are these ’rounds’ you speak of? i hope the ‘geico caveman’ sitcom isn’t picked up, the commercials are dreadful

rhonda…. Im expecting some sort of curveball…. like the he is not a person…..

back to the ben born on the island…. I think the Ben we know was born there…. the kid/person he was is going to die/vanish here soon…

I was just about ready to say it would take more than a drunk dad to make me feel sorry for Ben, but I guess the writers changed my mind.

“the day you killed your mom” … I think I want Ben to win now.

So, Ben is yet another person on this island with father issues. There should really be a support group on this island for that sort of thing.

They are SOOOOOO going to leave us hanging with the beach story…. can just feel it…..

I LOVE it when they TALK to each other! One of my biggest complaints about this show!

I still don’t trust Jack

Rhonda, I completely agree. Of course if everyone took the time to communicate, there wouldn’t be much of a show would there?

Did Ben leave the tape for Locke to find? I am beginning to wonder if we aren’t right back with Ben in complete control.

eze… ben seemed pretty freaked out the tape was gone…. could be acting….

I agree Rhonda. I love that their makeshift kitchen has become the standard meeting place where everyone discusses everything. Have you noticed lately that secrets only stay secret for three or four episodes. I like that things aren’t staying hidden forever. Damon and Carlton might have finally given in to people’s frustrations.

SMOKEY’S BACK!

WOW….. um. Richard looks the same age minus a haircut…. and ben is a good 25 years younger….

did anyone notice that we now have … uh oh. Richard. Hasn’t aged a day!

…white rabbit. Finale title is “through the looking glass.” Is there an alice and a hatter somewhere?

Wow, I thought that was the smoke monster. Whoa, aren’t Richard and Ben around the same age???OOO I’m a scared!

are we about to officially cross over into scifi?

Yea, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore!

I think I just peed a little.

Well…I guess that answers all of my questions

that dude looks like Kris Kristofferson…. wacky

Paging Sam and Dean Winchester…

OK… time to theorize.

Like Walt, Ben is “special.” Only Ben’s “special”ness is a cross between Firestarter freaky and Tony Perkins psycho. Perhaps he is so special he can’t handle his powers and had to create a persona that would be that powerful.

Who is Will Traveler?… sounds eerily similar to Who is Kyle XY…. me thinks ABC’s cut the marketing budget just a bit.

That “help me” freaked me the F out! My 9 year old (he gets to stay up late on wed.) let me know how unimpressed he was with that scene by saying….. “Mom, what happened to that kids dog?”

we got an answer to a question!!!!

uh oh…. beer in the van…….. trouble for roger

Ben’s gonna kill him

Why do Ben and his Dad look the same age?

evil

WOW

of course Locke can heal and should be okay…. but what an ending

Yeah, here’s hoping the island’s powers heal Locke really really quickly!

Thanks for stopping by everyone and super thanks for commenting!

So THAT”S why they had to keep pushing that button, so Dharma doesn’t realize what happened!!!!

This episode was completely weird. I haven’t even formed one coherent thought about it.

so who else is thinking locke is going to kill the heck out of ben in the final moments of the season? i have been liking ben but after what he did to locke tonight, it’s about time for him to go.

i like a few of the others and would like to see some survivors. especially tom. but they seem to prefer killing newer characters to old ones so i think most of the people introduced this season are toast.

So….anyone ready for this ride to end after only 48 more eps?? The sheer brilliance of LOST is astounding. Personally, I don’t want it to ever end…the mysteries themselves are endless, and there is nothing—now or in the past—else on TV like it. You have to feel sorry for those who are too lazy or ignorant to watch it.

TVAddict, not sure anyone mentioned this, “mysterious guy” that kid Ben ran into in the woods was Richard Alpert…or at least someone who looked like him. Odd that he seems to be the same age now as he was when Ben was a litle kid. Maybe because he was actually born on the island?

This episode blew my mind! I for one belive that Locke will survive…. He’s survived worse. A gunshot to the stomach? Ha! Gimme a bandaid and some asprin….

If John Locke is dead , I’m gone.
It’s beginning to look like they kill characters when they can’t explain their oddities. Locke gave the fans hope, now, not so much.

hey guys just watched this episode, yea i picked up on the fact that richard seems to look in mid 30s when ben was about 11 and still looks the same age now. And how is it that hes now taking orders from ben? My theory on what the hell is going on changed after i saw that episode, i thought that may be part of the island is in the living world, and the other part is kind of purgatory and that the sound barrier was the cross over point especially with lockes dad turning up, so that Jack and co were dead but could cross over to the compound and would be able to be seen and heard by the others. The whole death theory is to simply for these writers. I definitely think that penny’s dad has something to do with it, i think the plan wreckage that was found was obviously staged so that no one would be looking for them. But it almost seems like every person on flight 815 was hand picked to be there?

oh yeah another thing, jack is my favourite character but ive noticed that as soon as he made that deal with the others we havent seen any episodes focused on him. Has anyone else noticed hes stopped being so demanding for answers its like he knows whats going on, his knew alliance with juliet is not surprsing because by the looks of it she wants off the island too. Theres no way he would turn on kate sawyer said and co because hes there leader. I luv the way that the writers painted the others as bad guys originally but have now shown they afterall human and caring. Cindy and the kids that were taken in season 2 are now fully integrated into the others. Definitely think Jacob part of the black smoke but theres loads of stuff that seems to have been dropped like all the weird statues, where the hell are michael and walt, what is shielding the island from normal sight, and how the hell did the hostiles come to be there?? Would really like your views guys!! my brain cant decipher all this.
