| the slow-mo reunion between Sun and Hurley/Jack was beautiful - got me a bit teary-eyed! Michael Emerson delivered as always, excellent dialogue with Ilana. Both Richard and Linus seem to go through the biblical Hiob experience...a bit too in-your-face/obvious for my liking. Widmore cliffhanger rocked...is he the guy who was supposed to arrive aka Number 108- 'Wallace'?? |

| I liked the with Richard. Ben's dialogue at the end was good. Widmore was cliffhanggery, of course, but looking forward to next week. |

Worth watching for the sub at the end!! Wow!!
I assume Richard was on the ship in chains that Jacob and the other dude were talking about at the end of season 5? |

The ship is the Black Rock that we've known about since S1 (Hurley referred to the dynamite incident :p ). Now, whether that ship from the S5 finale is actually the Black Rock has been debated ever since that episode. I don't think it will matter too much, though.
Remember that Smokey/Locke told Alpert that it's good to see him 'out of these chains'? Obviously Richard was brought to the Island as a slave.What I found lame was the way they answered one of the ultimate LOST mysteries, Richard's immortality: "I was touched by Jacob" - and that's all there is to it. Sigh...then again, did we expect any sophisticated scientifically conceivable answer to that..
What intrigued me the most last night was Richard's statement that he was somewhere "where you wouldn't believe me even if I told you so". What can be that mindblowing a 'place'? My guess: The alternate timeline! |

All very true, but there has to be more it than him just being touched. Why was he a slave in the first place?! Where from, and where was he going to? And how does Smokey know that he was in chains in the first place?
The more I think about what's happened over the past few seasons, the more unanswered questions start to appear. I cannot wait for the net epsiode, when hopefully Widmore and Linus will come face to face. |

I agree, I think we will learn a little bit more about how richard was 'touched' (god that sounds bad) and his history (chains). I also can't wait for Ben and Widmore to meet. That is going to be great. For a few seconds towards the end of last nights episode when it was all quiet and he was walking back to the beach with Iliana, I was really expecting Ben to get shot out of nowhere. I was really surprised he didn't.

all our richard questions will most likely be answered in 2 weeks (episode 9). According to wiki, the featured character in the flash sideways is Richard.
Next week's episode is Sawyer. I am iffy about next week. :( |

100% agreed.
It was a bit disturbing, however, since there was this obvious "tension" between her and Ben, when we know that in the other timeline he adopted her as his daughter ----> small popcultural reference to Woody Allen? ;)
Can somebody help me resolve the alternate timeline paradox? As of now it seems as if this timeline is the result of 'the incident' back in 1977 (whether this was Jughead or this electromagnetic anomaly is not so important) which prevented the plane crash in 2004 and caused many other changes in the Losties' lives. BUT, for the plane not to crash, it MUST crash, because only with its crash is the chain of events triggered (all the way up to the Ajira flight and the time travelling to 1977) that leads to the incident occurring in the first place. How can this loop be broken? |
