Just a few points...
Watching 5 seasons in 8 weeks keeps the story moving quicker than 5 seasons over 5 years.Now i look twice when i see a blue VW Kombi. There is one perked around the corner of my house.
And this...i grew up watching this character

"...a unique effect of time travel is that your womb will always age, however, your body won’t age. When the time comes for Ben’s mom to give birth, she dies, but still manages to produce a baby boy. The reason she died was because the timeline was course correcting to replace her with Ben."
"1981: After a good bit of time on the island, Ben hears and sees his dead mother outside his house on the island! The reason he sees her is because in an “alternate future,” she was actually alive and working on this island for DHARMA. She appears half-dead to him because her dead spirit is designed to “help Ben understand his destiny” so that he can carry on her legacy. Thus, her spirit is time’s way of course correcting the future. "
"the “rules of the time machine” are not governed by any physical definitions of time travel. The “rules,” if you will, are governed by how FATE decides to preserve the timeline. Thus, if you are required to do something profound in a future timeline, fate will find any way possible to preserve the time"
"Shortly after Ben sees his dead mom, he sees Richard in the jungle, who says “you’re not ready.” Richard is a time traveler - and a DHARMA-hater."
"DHARMA releases a disease on the island which infects many of the Others. Then DHARMA claims to the others that they can cure the disease with this special “device,” the device being a time machine. This, however, is NOT obvious to the Others - they just want to get cured, and think the time machine is some type of complex vaccination. What DHARMA is actually trying to test is if people go back in time to a point before they were infected, can they be cured of the virus? As fate would predict, the others go back in time and are cured of the virus, only to be later killed by the smoke monster, as the monster is the “physical means” in which the timeline course corrects itself."
Genius! Especially about the smoke monster.
Thanks for the article, jkmohr. It's very interesting.
It's funny how the creators mentioned how the show would not have any time travel on it. But this was before. They could've changed their minds. And the audience is stupid if they actually get upset about something like that. Suck it up!

Damon Lindeloff and Carlton Cuse answer questions from fans AND a sneak peek at a scene from the season premier (and it's a fairly good one)

There was a fucking tornado 100 miles away last night, so our local ABC 'news team' was flipping out - at 9:29 they cut to Lost already in progress - asshats - i'll have to download the episode.

My Guess:
• Sayid/Kate/Jack/Hurly get in the choppa - lepidis hits turbulence they jump he dies.
• Sawyer dies to save Kate
• Sun is told to go to in the water with baby while Jin and Michael "disarm" the C4 - both die, sun/baby live.

My big question is what about Daniel's boat? Was it within the realm of the moving island and it went with it? No one besides the people on the island know that Daniel's boat-full was on it's way. If it didn't move with the island, why didn't they turn up in the future?
- i asked this same question...doesnotexist
- Oh, and Alpert's aggressive use of eyeliner creeps me the fuck outlocustsloth
- because they died?doesnotexist
- i guess, but that seems like way to big of an opportunity for the writers not to exploitlocustsloth
- i bet that weird guy (jeremy davies/daniel faraday) leads the oceanic 6 back to the island...doesnotexist
- I don't mind the eyeliner. There's always one guy...Jaline

Excellent episode. I am impressed by how they continue to maintain the element of surprise with this show.

All I can say is, the photography when Hurley did that cannonball off the beach was stunning.

The way this one ended actually works for me. Consider this; the next time we see an new Lost episode wil be in January of 2009. Last season's cliffhanger (the flash forward, some got off the island, but they gotta go back thing) just had me chomping at the bit for more. This ending leaves me with interest enough to tune in when it comes back (and play the ARG in the meantime), but not so much that i buy a calendar and countdown the days. Everything is set for the next initiative; it's almost like coming up for air when you're diving underwater, looking for something. You still want to get back down there, but it's nice to take a breath.
- I was thinking the same thing. Not as exciting, but it's almost better that way.Jaline

For me the coolest moment of the show was Ben's descent into the bowels of the island to turn the crank which would move the island's location. Far fuckin out. Once I muster the interest, I'll search out some screenshots of those ancient tablets that were laying around in there.
I think the keys to figuring out what the hell is really going lie in the Widmore theories you guys have been saying, paired with how original knowledge of the island's existence came about. Widmore must have spent time there before, and may have been Ben's predecesor. Very very possible. But how did he know about the island. How did the Dharma initiative find it in the first place?
I'm really beginning to think that (expecially due to the time travel and 'reset' crank, and also the still unexplained giant foot statue on the other coast) that the island may very well be Eden, Atlantis, Mu, or all three, or some other mythological place. Maybe Atlantis was never lost at all. Someone moved it.
We've been pretty much told that the island is absolutely some sort of supernatural thing and mystical 'machine' of sorts. It has an engine apparently and moving parts.
Not that these help unravel information, but it's also interesting to note the resonance the storylines are having with archetypes and mythology. We've just witnessed an exodus of sorts from the island, and now we'll see the return.
Also, what does the word "Lost" really mean now? Who's actaully lost? The main cast members, the island, or those who have left the island? Those who left the promised land?
Damn, what good show! :D

That theory was so detailed it made me wonder if one of the show's writers leaked it.
The only question I have is, if going back in time "resets" you to how you were at that time, why would Locke's paralysis be cured but Claire still be pregnant after arriving on the island? And what about Walt, who would have been a baby or not even born yet at that point?
I realized he answered that but I didn't find the answer convincing. But it could also be a hole in the plot of the show rather than disproving the theory.
