Initial Thoughts: The Other Woman
1. If they had to dump supplies out of the helicopter to reduce the weight load, not to be rude, but how in the world are Hurley and five others going to get into the helicopter and off the island? There must be another way.
2. Cute with all the daddy issues over the past three seasons that Mr. Friendly tells Juliet that after a week with Harper she’ll have you crying about your daddy.
3. I must be deaf because I can’t ever understand what the whispers say. I think I heard Juliet but I don’t know for sure. Then Jack heard them too. I don’t remember him hearing them before. Probably freaked him out pretty good! I was just waiting for the black smoke… which they say will reappear in the next couple of episodes.
4. The Tempest. Appropriate name. Play about people stranded on an island and a spirit trapped in a tree (jacob).
5. Remember that there was an “incident” once on the island? Could it be possible that the gas was released before (and not when Ben killed off Dharma)? It would explain why the hatch was quarantined (couldn’t leave to the poison air), why they originally had gas masks and perhaps whatever poison was in the gas has something to do with women not being able to conceive on the island.
6. I thought it was hilarious that Ben asks Locke if the rabbit happened to have a number on it.
7. Juliet is the other woman in more ways than one.
8. I figured since Locke had Ben trapped in his own house, Ben knew ways to communicate and probably even leave if he wanted to. Duh Locke!
9. The picture on the wall in front of Ben’s safe looked like the place where Rose met her healer, Isaac of Uluru.
10. I can’t believe that Locke didn’t question Ben seven ways from Sunday about how he got the secret video of Mr Widmore. And if Widmore is so bad then why does Ben have the tape locked in a safe? Could this be another reason to believe (as viewers) that Mr Widmore isn’t the bad guy? If Charlotte and Daniel are really there to make the chemicals inert, then maybe he’s trying to stop Ben from killing Desmond. Maybe Widmore is dying and knows that the island has healing powers and he wants to get there himself. We know one thing for certain, you cannot trust Ben.
11. I’m interested to see screencaps of the secret video and see if we can tell who Widmore has blindfolded.
12. Doesn’t Locke wonder why someone was secretly taping Widmore? And doesn’t he wonder how, on the island, that Ben got a copy from the outside world? And why even make the video?
13. I liked that Juliet mentioned the kids that they took from the tailsection survivors. I know I was wondering about them.
14. Girl fight! Juliet versus Charlotte. I wouldn’t mess with Juliet, but we haven’t seen yet what Charlotte can do.
15. Yes! If Daniel ends up *really* being a good decent guy then maybe they will keep the character on the show. Last week in the podcast Darlton acknowledged that they knew the fans really liked Daniel. Please keep him!
16. What a sick-o … Ben taking Juliet to the dead body of Goodwin with the flies buzzing around his body. That man is evil.
17. So I guess we know that Ben wants to kill Jack but we’ve seen flash forwards so we know he at least makes it a little while off of the island. But we also know that Ben has a double life off of the island.
18. Claire asks to see Miles. I’m worried that she’s going to get hurt trying to talk to him.
19. It appears that Ben is keeping the gasses on the island just in case he ever needs to wipe out another population. Why else keep them around? Why does any government keep dangerous chemical warfare knowing it could get in the wrong hands.

I have not even re-wateched it yet, but at first glance, the guy Widmore had seemed to resemble Sam Thomas (from the Find 815 ARG). Sure looked like him and I am curious to see who else thought so.
First time-poster to your site but I check it regularly! Keep up the great work.

I BEEN SAYIN’ IT…ain’t i been sayin’ it? widmore. yeahhhhh.
HOW CUTE WAS BENNNNNN when he was having dinner with juliet omg michael emerson is the best actor ever.

I just had thought? Everyone thinks that it is Michael on the boat that is Ben’s spy, could it possibly be Penny?
March 7th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Could the blind folded guy have been Locke’s father?
I don’t remember who Sam Thomas was…

I’m going with Charlie as Ben’s man on the boat. I still do not think that Charlie drowned at the end of season 3. Charlie really couldn’t have swam through that window?………Really? He’s not that big. I’ve watched that episode many times now and it looks extremely possible for him to have swam out through there. The only part that I still can’t figure out (assuming that it is Charlie of course) is how he would have communicated with Ben once he was on the boat.

Also, does anybody have any thoughts on where Daniel got that map from. I saw a screen shot of it on another site
(http://waffleimages.nwpshost.com/files/e4/e4f25d69b23230d7eb1bc4661def625deefbebdf.jpg)
and it has pretty specific directions on it along with a Dharma symbol in the upper left part of the map. My original thought was that maybe Widmore got this map from the journal that he bought, but that’s not possible with the Dharma logo on there. So how did they get this map? Is it possible that Widmore used to be a part of Dharma? Could he have escaped before the purge? Did they get the map from the guy that they beat down in at the hotel? I would really like to know where that came from.

I would LOVE to see Charlie again, but it doesn’t seem likely. The writers keep telling us when someone dies, they are dead. Yes, we are seeing “ghosts” but no one has actually been *DEAD* and came back. Unless you want to consider Patchy, but I don’t recall seeing him die, he just was maimed a lot (wink)
March 7th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
You’re right, the writers do keep saying that, so I guess it is unlikely, but old Patchy sure appeared dead at least twice, and I guess we still don’t know if he died when he………held a grenade when it exploded. Actually GG did we actually SEE Charlie die. I don’t know if you can really consider somebody dead on the show until they are buried. Sorry about that Nikki and Paulo.

Nikki and Paulo had to die.
I just miss the Charlie character. I really doubt he will be back on the show, but a girl can hope!
