Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
Do you recall how old he was the day of the purge? 18? 21? If 18 that would put Ben born in 1974(Same year Losties flashed back to). But he was born in Oregon right? He got there when he was about 8? Seem like he would have been older than 18 though at the time of the Purge.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
So a Harry Potter Ben should be running around with the Losties in the Dharma Initiative in 1977.
The odd thing is I think Ben and Locke are stuck in present day over that abandoned Dharma. Will be intersting to see how they get back with the other losties.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
I wonder if there's a connection between Ben being born premature, Locke being born premature, and whoever Amy's child is being born premature and each surviving.
I want to look at the Numbers and say it's just a coincidence, but I still wonder if this will come up sometime."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
over at Lost.com someone brought up after the recent Egyptian clues that the numbers are chapters from the egyptian book of the dead, I guess the chapters reference things on the island. sounded better than some of the other crazy stuff ive heard. hopefully we find out, or maybe after the show the producers can at least say where they got them from.Comment

Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
Oh, I meant that I wanted to compare the premature births to the Numbers. The Numbers were just a coincidence (at least that's where it's been heading) and perhaps the premature births are too."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
So, my wildcard guess on the baby was Desmond. But, I went back and thought about it and if Desmond was born in 1977 then that would make him 24 years old when he meets Kelvin on the Island. That just can't be right.
Then I went back and looked up some dates and guess who was born in 1977.

Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***
Oh man, this show is getting ridiculous... I love it, but I know that they're never going to answer so many of the questions we've all had since Season 1. And I don't really follow all the message boards and stuff, so I'm even more lost than most of you.
Oh well, I guess we'll see how it ends up... It's entertaining at least...IT'S GREAT TO BEA MIAMI HURRICANE"At exactly which point do we start to realizeThat a life without knowledge is death in disguise?"Comment
