Live Blogging LOST (Episode 20, Season 3)

May 9th, 2007

Tonight’s episode of LOST promises to be a doozy, as we finally get the long awaited ‘Ben’ flashback. Producers Cuse and Lindeloff even went as far as to tease EW with the sentence, “Illumination and answers… to be followed by even more questions and delighted bafflement.” Needless to say we at theTVaddict.com couldn’t be more excited for tonight and hope you can stop by for LIVE LOST BLOGGING at 10PM (est).

10:01PM: Are we seeing the birth of Ben?

10:01PM: “So why don’t you start at the beginning”… okay, this episode is definitely getting off on the right foot! Which reminds me, I hope Ben explains the giant foot!

10:12PM: Young Ben or Harry Potter? You decide

10:15PM: Umm… Ben… there’s a new sheriff in town, and his name rhymes with block.


10:18PM: I think I’ll be tuning into TRAVELER tomorrow… will you?

10:23PM: Does anyone else have a bad feeling we’ll meet Jacob just in time for the episode to be over?

10:29PM: “Kinda hard to celebrate on the day you killed your mom” and the father of the year award goes to….

10:34PM: “I think we’ve got some catching up to do….” what exactly is going on. Is Jack going to reveal what really happened to him while he stayed at Chez Other for a week?

10:39PM: Mysterious guy to Ben: “Are you LOST?” Umm.. yeah… hello… it’s the title of the show! I wonder if that’s Jacob?

10:47PM: Paging Sam and Dead Winchester, when exactly did LOST turn into SUPERNATURAL? Please, someone, explain to me what’s going on?

10:59PM: Okay seriously, I know I’ve said this before — but what the frak just happened? I’ll say one thing for LOST, it never fails to surprise.

Frank Says:

TV ADDICT what are your thoughts regarding ABC’s decision to have Lost run for 3 more 18 episode seasons?

Personally i would have perfered Two, 22 episode seasons.

ABCs decision just allows for more repeats and a whole more year of us scratching out heads.

theTVaddict Says:

Hey Frank,

Thanks for asking… check out my post on the subject here:

Rhonda Says:

So Ben hasn’t been on the island ALL his life I guess.

theTVaddict Says:

Unless the island really is just a big forest in Portland!

seat42f Says:

So Bens Dad is Roger from the Vw Van, right

theTVaddict Says:

seat42f… great observation… although I never remember little details like that. I watch too much TV!

Todd W in NC Says:

You mean 16 episode seasons. I like the idea. I agree with The TV Addict that tighter story-telling means fewer filler episodes.

Rhonda Says:

Young Ben…nerd alert!

seat42f Says:

is Roger ( bens Dad) uncle ricco from Nap Dynamite?

Rhonda Says:

HA! Couldn”t place him!!

Todd W in NC Says:

Mr. Goodspeed? sounds like a character that would be in an Austin Powers movie.

seat42f Says:

LOCKE is BACK!!!! bout time

Rhonda Says:

Man, when Tom kidnapped Walt I HATED that guy! Now?…loving him!!

Todd W in NC Says:

I like the new PC/Mac commercials. Just curious, does anyone have Vista? If so, is it full of problems or better than expected?

seat42f Says:

seat = OSX guy :)

seat42f Says:

if you haven’t seen… traveler is really good… should have been on before Lost all season

Todd W in NC Says:

Any bets on how many episodes until ABC cancels Traveler? Four maybe.

theTVaddict Says:

Todd…. by dog is named ‘mac’ for a reason… there shall be no blasphemous ‘windows’ talk on theTVaddict.com :)

eze Says:

I have vista and it works fine for me.

Nice sarcasm, Alex. and thanks for the piece!!

eze Says:

So is Benflat out lying about being born on the island, or is he being figurative?

seat42f Says:

in case anyone did hear/read…… Bens Mom in Lost is Bens(the actors) wife in real life…. crazy casting

Rhonda Says:

So do you think Jacob is someone we already know? Seems to me that when, and if they show him that would make for a bigger shock.

seat42f Says:

there’s a ABC 2007/2008 schedule making the rounds minus Traveler so unless it goes gangbusters its gonzo

theTVaddict Says:

seat42f… yeah I read that somewhere, and Rhonda, I definitely think we’ve already met Jacob… who he is, I of course have no idea.

theTVaddict Says:

seat42f… where are these ’rounds’ you speak of? i hope the ‘geico caveman’ sitcom isn’t picked up, the commercials are dreadful

seat42f Says:

rhonda…. Im expecting some sort of curveball…. like the he is not a person…..

seat42f Says:

back to the ben born on the island…. I think the Ben we know was born there…. the kid/person he was is going to die/vanish here soon…

eze Says:

I was just about ready to say it would take more than a drunk dad to make me feel sorry for Ben, but I guess the writers changed my mind.

“the day you killed your mom” … I think I want Ben to win now.

Todd W in NC Says:

So, Ben is yet another person on this island with father issues. There should really be a support group on this island for that sort of thing.

seat42f Says:

They are SOOOOOO going to leave us hanging with the beach story…. can just feel it….. :(

Rhonda Says:

I LOVE it when they TALK to each other! One of my biggest complaints about this show!

eze Says:

I still don’t trust Jack

theTVaddict Says:

Rhonda, I completely agree. Of course if everyone took the time to communicate, there wouldn’t be much of a show would there?

eze Says:

Did Ben leave the tape for Locke to find? I am beginning to wonder if we aren’t right back with Ben in complete control.

seat42f Says:

eze… ben seemed pretty freaked out the tape was gone…. could be acting….

Todd W in NC Says:

I agree Rhonda. I love that their makeshift kitchen has become the standard meeting place where everyone discusses everything. Have you noticed lately that secrets only stay secret for three or four episodes. I like that things aren’t staying hidden forever. Damon and Carlton might have finally given in to people’s frustrations.

Rhonda Says:

SMOKEY’S BACK!

seat42f Says:

WOW….. um. Richard looks the same age minus a haircut…. and ben is a good 25 years younger….

eze Says:

did anyone notice that we now have … uh oh. Richard. Hasn’t aged a day!

…white rabbit. Finale title is “through the looking glass.” Is there an alice and a hatter somewhere?

Rhonda Says:

Wow, I thought that was the smoke monster. Whoa, aren’t Richard and Ben around the same age???OOO I’m a scared!

seat42f Says:

are we about to officially cross over into scifi?

Rhonda Says:

Yea, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore!

Rhonda Says:

I think I just peed a little.

eze Says:

Well…I guess that answers all of my questions ;)

seat42f Says:

that dude looks like Kris Kristofferson…. wacky

theTVaddict Says:

Paging Sam and Dean Winchester…

eze Says:

OK… time to theorize.

Like Walt, Ben is “special.” Only Ben’s “special”ness is a cross between Firestarter freaky and Tony Perkins psycho. Perhaps he is so special he can’t handle his powers and had to create a persona that would be that powerful.

theTVaddict Says:

Who is Will Traveler?… sounds eerily similar to Who is Kyle XY…. me thinks ABC’s cut the marketing budget just a bit.

Rhonda Says:

That “help me” freaked me the F out! My 9 year old (he gets to stay up late on wed.) let me know how unimpressed he was with that scene by saying….. “Mom, what happened to that kids dog?”

eze Says:

we got an answer to a question!!!!

seat42f Says:

uh oh…. beer in the van…….. trouble for roger

eze Says:

Ben’s gonna kill him

Rhonda Says:

Why do Ben and his Dad look the same age?

seat42f Says:

of course Locke can heal and should be okay…. but what an ending

theTVaddict Says:

Yeah, here’s hoping the island’s powers heal Locke really really quickly!

Thanks for stopping by everyone and super thanks for commenting!

Rhonda Says:

So THAT”S why they had to keep pushing that button, so Dharma doesn’t realize what happened!!!!

Tim Says:

This episode was completely weird. I haven’t even formed one coherent thought about it.

Aaron Says:

so who else is thinking locke is going to kill the heck out of ben in the final moments of the season? i have been liking ben but after what he did to locke tonight, it’s about time for him to go.

i like a few of the others and would like to see some survivors. especially tom. but they seem to prefer killing newer characters to old ones so i think most of the people introduced this season are toast.

Common Sense Says:

So….anyone ready for this ride to end after only 48 more eps?? The sheer brilliance of LOST is astounding. Personally, I don’t want it to ever end…the mysteries themselves are endless, and there is nothing—now or in the past—else on TV like it. You have to feel sorry for those who are too lazy or ignorant to watch it.

Chris Says:

TVAddict, not sure anyone mentioned this, “mysterious guy” that kid Ben ran into in the woods was Richard Alpert…or at least someone who looked like him. Odd that he seems to be the same age now as he was when Ben was a litle kid. Maybe because he was actually born on the island?

Geno Says:

This episode blew my mind! I for one belive that Locke will survive…. He’s survived worse. A gunshot to the stomach? Ha! Gimme a bandaid and some asprin….

andeem Says:

If John Locke is dead , I’m gone.
It’s beginning to look like they kill characters when they can’t explain their oddities. Locke gave the fans hope, now, not so much. :(

tombob Says:

hey guys just watched this episode, yea i picked up on the fact that richard seems to look in mid 30s when ben was about 11 and still looks the same age now. And how is it that hes now taking orders from ben? My theory on what the hell is going on changed after i saw that episode, i thought that may be part of the island is in the living world, and the other part is kind of purgatory and that the sound barrier was the cross over point especially with lockes dad turning up, so that Jack and co were dead but could cross over to the compound and would be able to be seen and heard by the others. The whole death theory is to simply for these writers. I definitely think that penny’s dad has something to do with it, i think the plan wreckage that was found was obviously staged so that no one would be looking for them. But it almost seems like every person on flight 815 was hand picked to be there?

tombob Says:

oh yeah another thing, jack is my favourite character but ive noticed that as soon as he made that deal with the others we havent seen any episodes focused on him. Has anyone else noticed hes stopped being so demanding for answers its like he knows whats going on, his knew alliance with juliet is not surprsing because by the looks of it she wants off the island too. Theres no way he would turn on kate sawyer said and co because hes there leader. I luv the way that the writers painted the others as bad guys originally but have now shown they afterall human and caring. Cindy and the kids that were taken in season 2 are now fully integrated into the others. Definitely think Jacob part of the black smoke but theres loads of stuff that seems to have been dropped like all the weird statues, where the hell are michael and walt, what is shielding the island from normal sight, and how the hell did the hostiles come to be there?? Would really like your views guys!! my brain cant decipher all this.
