LOST Episode 4.8 - Instant Thoughts

"Meet Kevin Johnson"

Ok I have so many questions from this Episode as I'm sure you all do too.

1.) What is Libby? Is it Libby's Ghost or a projection from the Island? She appeared to Michael a couple times at very key moments. Maybe she is simply in his head and he's going crazy.

2.) Michael said he was there to Kill himself why hasn't he been successful yet? He drove a car going 75 miles per hour into a metal cargo container that should have killed him. Plus when he tried to use the gun and the bomb neither worked. Could the Island be keeping him alive or maybe even Walt using his "special powers" to protect his dad even though they are estranged?

3.) Michael's job is to kill everyone on the boat and never allow them to reach the Island. Could the close proximity to Michael be why people are going nuts and not the Island itself? I haven't seen him kill anyone on the boat himself yet. Though he has done a great job of stopping the boat.

4.) What could have driven Sayid to work for Ben so soon after he destroys Michael's secret cover on the boat for the mere fact that Michael if working for Ben? Sayid is not a man prone to dramatic changes of opinion, maybe he gets Michael killed and then realize he was wrong about Ben and decides tot ake his spot as Ben's secret assassin.

5.) Poor Crazy Karl and Rousseau both got shot trying to save Alex could this have been a plan by Ben to get her back? He had to have known that anyone approaching the Temple would have been shot on sight.

All in all a great episode I'm excited to hear what you all have to say.

Okay, so we are seeing that the island has these magical godlike powers of keeping people alive, healing people, and tugging people back to it. It's a little surreal, but I'll go with it. I really like your theory that Michael is finding ways to make people go crazy and kill themselves so he doesn't have to blow up the boat. Do you think at this point that Michael still wants to die?

You know what I just realized? Ben gets off the island too because we see him working with Sayid. He obviously won't go on the freiter? Maybe he uses the same mode of transportation that Tom used to get to Michael.

I think Ben planted his guys in the woods to shoot off Carl and Danielle. He resented Carl for dating his daughter and resented Rousseau for coming back and claiming Alex as her own. Plus, it seems like Ben likes to have hidden people shooting other people. He's crazy and rolls like that.

You will have to keep us fresh and up to speed during the next month without Lost :(

I noticed that the Oceanic Six includes Aaron, so they must be lying once again about timing and how old he is maybe? Or do you think Kate will lie about being pregnant? The airline probably has the manifest on file of course. I dunno, I guess I'm just thinking and typing.

Your theories have all been right. I think you have secret ties to JJ Abrams. ;) Tell us what's coming next so we won't have to wait a whole month!

Jason do you think Ben really cares about Alex or if he's just using her to get what he wants? he could of done it to get the french lady and Karl in the woods to get shot.
