Season 4, Episode 6

Please note next week this blog will be updating late. I'll be at SXSW and have a show right in the middle of Lost (can you believe it!!?!?)- and I was going to have a big Lost party in my hotel room!!

alas.. trying to get Sayid Is My Boyfriend to update for me. oh and thanks to Yoda for looking up some stuff after my DVR didn't tape lost (gasp!)

ok- here goes!

Harper Stanhope- the name means minstrel a minstrel is a person who performed songs whose lyrics told stories about distant places or about (real or imaginary) historical events. Though minstrels created their own tales, often they would memorize and embellish the works of others. Also- the name Stanhope was used in something- any ideas- was a name on a site but I cannot remember!

all eyes on you. i'm convinced that this has something to do with the eyes changing color and shapes. seems as if the darker they go.. the more mind control or in charge the character is. ben had a weird shaped pupil. also check this out: http://lostisagame.com/eyes.htm

in therapy ben said- "crying about daddy"- father issues/family issues always come up. (penny widmore and her dad, etc)

2 beds 2 baths - 2 is a number as is 4 and will this allude to ben wanting to procreate with juliette?

whispers- did anyone make them out?

henrietta was the name of the woman who died while pregnant. ben used a fake name- henry at one point when he first met the losties. also, when goodwin orginally comforts juliette, the name is sabine, not henrietta. both henrietta and sabine are of German descent and henrietta means "ruler of the house".

Goodwin. he was a good one. killed on purpose by Ben because Juliette is HIS!

Egg salad on rye- eggs! fertility! and they are running out of chickens- chickens produce eggs.

Locke- very aggressive killing of that rabbit with the knife. notice how Ben asked if it had a number on it? and he wouldn't eat it either! was he was he also eating edamame? (mommy!) remember the Orchid orientation video! http://youtube.com/watch?v=bSZVkch09Qg

Ben asks- has the revolution begun yet? the famous saying "the revolution will not be televised". The poem by Gil Scott-Heron is notable for its extensive political and cultural references, many of which may be unknown today.

3.2 million dollars the 3 is coming up a lot!

Kill every man woman and child on this island if i flip the wrong switch.

Lists in 3 days- references to the lists- the list sayid given to by ben, the original losties/tallies list.

36 15 28- the combo on the safe. 15 is a number According to Matthew Chapter 15- verse 28- Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! 12 Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour and verse 36- Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, 14 broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. Matthew is a tax collector- the economist. all goes back to Charles Widmore who is trying to capitalize on the island.

Anyone have any ideas where the Widmore video was taped?

Red Sox- another reference to the Red Sox- from the producers on the EW article:
LINDELOF: We wrote the Sayid episode before the Boston Red Sox won the World Series a second time. So when Jack said to Frank Lapidus, ''Did the Red Sox really win the World Series?'' and Lapidus says, ''Please don't remind me,'' certain subsets of the Lost audience began asking, ''Is it possible Lapidus is actually from 2008?!'' But you have to understand: we are not writing the show for now. We are writing the show so that when you put it in your DVD player 20 years from now, you don't have to understand the nuances of the Red Sox winning the World Series, only they hadn't won it in a long time.
CUSE: But you won't have a DVD player, Damon.
LINDELOF: It'll just be downloaded into your brain.

3 months ago (3 again). in gainseville florida, the virgin mary was spotted on moss and 5000 people showed up for it. Gainesville- gaining income off of land. Also, after doing some research- Clearwater is the place where the Virgin Mary appeared, not Gainesville. Juliette and the Omar and Keamy are all from florida. Also, there were the Gainesville Murders where a man raped and murdered 5 college students.

So Ben has a crush on Juliette, who resembles Jack's ex-wife. And when Juliette makes note that Jack is a surgeon he makes light of it. Jack is there for a reason- and Juliette is being used as a pawn to Jack. When Jack saved his ex wife she said you don't want to get involved with this, and he said he knows what he's doing, similar to what he just said to Juliette.

Ben is a puppet master- Juliette says he knows what he's doing- Ana Lucia was used to kill Goodwin. it's all back to the eyes.

Also- when Claire talks to Locke about trying to talk to Miles, i think it's foreshadowing that she will be killed or will die. And because Locke will try to gain custody of Aaron but is becoming slightly irratic in behavior, this is why Kate takes Aaron as her own.

Zack and Emma referenced- the kids who lost their mom that Ana Lucia took care of. We think these are Juliette's sisters kids and she doesn't know it yet.

The Gas Explosion- clearly we know that Ben wiped out the Dharma Initiative. This was the pit that Locke woke up in and when Danielle said they all got sick.

did kate fool jack into thinking the reason why she went back with locke was because she doesn't care if the freighters know if she's a criminal but to test sawyer to see if he did indeed want to become a dad??

and WHO will be back next week- is it MYYY BOYYYYYYY???
