9:02 S: That would be the most atrocious ending of a television show ever. Also, Miles? He’s the missing piece? Hmm…Joan of Arcadia is an undercover prostitute right now on ABC’s “The Unusuals.”
9:00 H: At least Ben didn’t get off that easy. Also, I can’t shake the suspicion that this entire show takes plac in Locke’s head as he sits in his wheelchair unable to go on the walkabout.
8:58 S: The smoke monster would make the worst host of “This Is Your Life.”
8:57 S: “They’re treasure was knowledge. Knowledge was their treasure.” Shut your eyes Ben! If you can’t see it, it can’t turn you into a skeleton.
8:56 S: Eagerly anticipating the typical last wtf two minutes of LOST.
8:55 S: Ben, way to not love your stolen daughter. Also, I’m pretty sure Indiana Jones has been in that temple.
8:54 H: I don’t think this bitch knows what lies in the shadow of the statue. Could they have the sickness that Danielle’s people had? Or was that just imagined by her already-psychotic mind?
8:53 S: New Annalucia, what the eff are you talking about.
8:52 S: Oh, you. Because Desmond is The Constant. Speaking of constants, where in God’s name as Faraday gone?
8:50 H: Desmond and Penny are the one thing that HAS to remain constant.
8:48 S: And now we know why Ben showed up at the dock wrecked.
8:47 S: BEN. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU.
8:47 H: If Ben killed Penny, I will…..I will do the equivalent of murdering a fictional character. Not sure what that is yet.
8:45 S: This is where Ben was taken and ‘never the same again’. The Temple.
8:44 S: Ben, get over the fact that you can’t speak to ‘Jacob.’ Oh, how the tables have turned.
8:44 H: Also, what does dying feel like. How did you break out of the coffin? So many questions.
8:43 H: Oh, so you’re the same man you’ve always been, Locke? And who might that be?
8:41 S: Because Locke totally is. Ben is that kid in high school that forces himself into your group of friends and everyone just says okay because they are secretly afraid of him.
8:40 H: I love when Locke one-ups Ben and makes him ponder whether Locke is the true prophet of the island.
8:40 S: Also, totally called Ben shooting Caesar.
8:38 S: Ben is off his game tonight. Also, Sayid shot him in the past, but here he is playing mental Stratego with Ben.
8:37 H: Hearing Ben say he’s scared doesn’t give me the satisfaction I thought it would.
8:36 S: Ben totally wanted to sic that smoke monster on Locke.
8:35 S: Alex is dead. Ben is fighting the inevitable. What is this island??
8:34 S: So we never saw this hostile takeover of the Dharma initiative. And here’s the Charles I know and fear.
8:33 H: I find it hard to believe that Ben, who literally controls the black smoke monster, would have no name for it. Really? Seriously, really?
8:32 S: Ben has no idea what is happening. This is great.
8:31 S: Where is Hurley to explain everything about time travel and Marty McFly to me?!
8:28 S: If there is a God, and he doesn’t sound like Morgan Freeman. I’m going to be pretty disappointed.
8:26 S: Sun and Lepidus had a nice game of RISK going. Symbolic of something? Probably not.
8:25 H: Locke’s tone suggests that he is orchestrating this whole thing. What a Ben move!
8:23 H: As he ages, Widmore gets more and more Australian. Also, he looks a lot better without hair.
8:21 H: I like that they can joke about Ben’s attempted murder of Locke. Not too soon, apparently.
8:17 H: I’ll never get over the swelling music. The show wouldn’t be half as suspenseful without it.
8:16 S: Ben, I hate slash admire you.
8:15 H: Locke’s calling his bluff.
8:14 S: God, you can never tell with Ben. He’s lying. He’s totally lying. And it obv didn’t work if you guys are separated by thirty effing years.
8:13 S: Ben is a quick one.
8:11 H: Reminiscent of when they tried to steal Aaron. So that’s where Ethan learned is baby-snatching abilities.
8:10 H: I am literally laughing out loud at this cub scout hairdo and ascot. And ETHAN.
8:10 S: Ben, or Brutus?
8:08 S: Ben is such a tricky beast.
8:04. Steph: Finally, a smoke-monster centric episode.
8:03: Hannah: He doesn’t sound Australian!
Oh hey everyone.
