That is indeed an awesome synopsis. Lets hope its somewhat true! |

Reading that makes the episode makes sense. He seems fairly spot on with alot of his guesses. If half those guesses turn out to be correct and on mark, then there might be saving this show yet.

They should just make Flash Forward a side story since they've already shifted most of the people there anyway. And, on the plus side, it's confusing!

God I hate this show now. Tonight was terrible. I've never turned on a show I've been this committed to so quickly.

I liked the last episode. Was good.
Episode before last would have been better off earlier in the season I think.

alright let's get on with the theorycraft:
1) Jack steps up, confronts Flocke, fails somehow
2) Swayer saves Jack, stops Flocke (shoves him in glowy cave?), maybe with Desmond and Ben betraying. Swayer nobly dies in self-sacrifice
3) Kate looks on, more acting
4) Hurley is troubled
5) everyone else dies
6) Jack leaves island with Kate to take care of Aaron (everyone forgets about Kwon kid)
7) Hurley WINS, plays golf, eats fruits, hangs out with ghosts
TEH END!
my only fear is that Jack and Sawyer somehow end up switching places with Jacob and MIB. That would be just gah.

I was a bit underwhelmed by this episode, and disappointed that Richard went out like a punk bitch (if that is indeed what happened). But I get that it was a setup episode, a moving all the pieces into place type of show that never feels all that interesting. Hate that Linus turned back to his killer ways.

Never discount the possiblity that ben is working an angle of his own that may not be obvious.

I hope. He really hasn't been the conniving asshole he once was since near the end of season 5. I'm hoping he's saving up for something big. Last night gave some hope of that being the case. |

Survival. If there's one thing Ben's always been good at, it's figuring out how to survive the messes he's gotten himself into. |

I think he did what he did for survival and a chance to stab somebody in the back another day. Heck Ben killed jacob maybe he will wind up doing in the man in black as well.

An ending where Ben wins and everyone else loses would make me very happy.

Well, I'm sure he hated Widmore, but he shot him as he was tell Flocke something he wanted to know, with the excuse that it was about his daughter. I think he is still working for team good, and mainly shot him in an attempt to keep him from telling Locke. After seeing Richard taken out, he knew that the only way to go forward was to do as Flocke said, then find a way to stab in him the back later. Any resistance right then would just result in instant death. Also, I'm so happy they finally killed that damn chick that has been running around with Widmore.
Also, I hope that Richard is still alive. Kind of a big let down to have him go out that way (and Widmore as well for that matter. Was expecting something a bit more epic).

I think killing Richard would be against the rules, so he's probably still alive.
Ben's waiting for his moment. He killed Widmore for the greater good.

Isn't Ben killing Widmore also against the rules? Or was that more of a "you just don't do that" kind of agreement between them? Maybe he shot Widmore when he did because he knew he wouldn't die.

Gah, oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. I have a sad feeling they'll never explain that exchange, and its just one plot thread they totally abandoned and will pretend never happened. |

Richard isn't dead. Nobody said he couldn't be severely fucked up, though. He's probably wounded and bleeding/ tied up somewhere safely out of smokey's way. I agree with the Ben working the angles line of thinking. You could see it on his face as soon as Richard was punked, "Oh shit, how do I work this one out?"

I have a feeling Richard isn't dead yet. I just read an interview with him where he stated he was happy with how his character arc was resolved after reading the finale script. I can't imagine anyone being happy that their character's resoulution was, 'punted like a football.' ... Actually, yes, I can imagine that.  Saw this in the comments section of io9, gave me a good chuckle. |

Never thought he was dead. I figured that was smokey's way of telling Richard to fuck off.

I will be sorely disappointed if Ben doesn't get the drop on flocke somehow in the finale -- maybe it won't be enough, but I expect he's got some quality scheming going on.

Since they were only protected by the Candidate status and a successor is chosen, all the other Candidates could be killable by Smokey now. Hope he doesn't find that out.
