People on the island live longer than normal people I reckon or at least if you're born on the island you do.

What a great episode! I don't think Locke is dead either it was a major shock though but he seems okay. I agree about Jacob I think he was calling out Locke to help him. I think Ben has him trapped or controlled or something like a genie in a lamp.

I was totally having Carnivale flashbacks.

And um. LIVE LONGER? LOL. He hasn't aged at all in like 40 years! Unless he's, you know, Eyeliner Guy Jr.

lol his hair got shorter

When I read the name of the episode I was having Carnivale flashbacks. I think its just a Wizard of Oz reference though as the original Carnivale story about the guy behind the curtain was a reference to that aswell.

lol no when they put big hair on Roger Workman it was to indicate he was younger the same they did with Richard Alpert.

Hahaha, I'm not buying it. He looks older with the long hair anyway, IMO.

It's just.. creepy. And unnatural. And Ben killing Roger was seriously, the creepiest scene ever.

On a side note I was getting a Twin Peaks vibe from the whole Jacob thing aswell. I just found a screencap of Jacob

Kinda looks like Locke's profile

I was really drawn in and impressed by Michael's acting when Ben was actually showing emotion talking about how long he had to put up with Roger. The creepy killing I totally expected. But I didn't expect THE WHOLE FRICKIN' VILLAGE to be dead.

Well, it's a good thing we know those creepy 'Others' are 'Hostiles' and not the good Dharma people.



And this screencap I just have to share.... because I KNOW for a fact he's not a goner... in the words of Jon Stewart, here is your moment of zen.

I called Locke getting shot- damn.

I was also chuckling just a little at the empty chair talking. A little bit like Spiderman, when the Goblin was talking to Harry's father, haha.

Not much to say about this one, disappointed in the "lets all get caught up" and then we didnt see them again for the rest of the episode.

I was disappointed too, I was waiting to see them pop up again. Hopefully, we'll get lots of them next episode though.

Just throwing something out there:

Maybe the island literally is Hell, as Cooper said.

Richard and rest of people born on the island can never age. There are not human - sort of just like minions to Jacob.

Jacob is Satan - explains why he has supernatural powers (invisiblity).

Ben wants to usurp Jacob's "throne." Only Ben can usurp his power because he's the only one that can speak to Jacob. Explains why he shot Locke since Locke heard/could communicate with Jacob.

--
Okay, it's a stupid theory, granted, but it was the best one I could come up with when my brother and I were confused as hell during the episode last night.

I just don't know what partisicular to say about this episode, I was having this expression on my face all the time ----> ---> ----> ---> and than again this --->

Locke is not gonna die for sure, and Ben is totally pissed about Locke/Jacob interaction lol...God, I'm totally dissapointed that Ben is SO evil ..but I still love him

What is totally confusing me is the Eyeliner guy..he have perfect eye make up plus he did't get old , so he must be like 70 years old or so ..or may be he just have a good Dharma Plastic Surgeon lol
