Lost; Season 5
TheFuriousWombat:
Woah man, I like the way you think. That all sounds surprisingly plausible (I say surprisingly since most people with 'Lost' theories spew nonsense).
BrilliantEraser:
That... makes a surprising amount of sense. See, I always thought the children dying had something to do with Ben's premature birth. As I recall, he was born at around seven months. All pregnant women have complications at the seventh month, which kills them and the fetus. Things were all dandy until Ben and the Hostiles came to power. Which made me wonder if Ben had a hand in that. What if he developed some sort of virus or something?
But I think your idea goes more with the mystique of the Island. :lol:
Lines:
I just knew that if they did something to save Ben, he wouldn't be able to remember what happened. Also, I'm glad that Kate gave Aaron to his grandmother.
Also, we don't know where Daniel is, right? I remember seeing him working on the Swan Orchid in a flashback/forward thing, so he's not gone. Thoughts on where he is?
JediBendu:
I think Daniel may have possibly have time-traveled again during the 74-77 period. That or he's down in The Orchid and is one of the first and most important time-travel researchers for Dharma.
Also, I have to say I hope that The Temple/Smokey doesn't work the way that I think it does. When Richard said "He'll always be one of us." I was a little disappointed. I really really hope that whatever happens to people in the Temple doesn't turn The Others into some kind of drones of the Island. I don't even really like the implication that something like that changed Ben's personality. I mean, it does do a lot for the time-travelers realizing that they're responsible for who Ben became, but it sort of cheapens Ben as a character, for me, at least if this "Otherfication" process works in the way it seems to.
0bsessions:
Daniel's down in the Orchid and, presumably, in 1977 as well.
For anyone who's seen the Dharma Booth Video, it's indicative that Daniel will be showing up again soon enough, since it's pretty easy to assume who the "credible source" is judging by the off camera voice.
Though I actually never noticed something. I haven't watched the video since before the season started and I am VERY intrigued by the name of the other individual that Chang addresses off camera at the very end.
In terms of the Temple, honestly, that's been the suspicion I've had as to how it works since This Place is Death. Look at it through these details:
I've been of the belief that the smoke monster "judges" people since season 3, with the way it killed Mr. Eko. If it judges you worthy, you become an Other, but will suffer a personality change, possibly without even really realizing this. That last bit is the conclusion I came to after This Place Is Death, based on Locke's behavior since season one. Initially, while dealing with anger issues, Locke seemed relatively level headed, if a bit naive and easily manipulated. After his encounter with the monster, he suddenly started spouting off bullshit about "the island wants this, the island wants that." Perhaps that is what becomes of Ben?
I don't see that it cheapens anyone as a character. Your personality isn't defined by how you're born, it is defined by your experiences. Even if Ben changes as a result of his judgment, it's still a life experience and it's still a path he'd been heading down for a while. Whatever happened...happened.
