That One Albino Chick: Previouslies!!!
Insertcoolnamehere: :D
9:01 PM
TOAC: dude it looks all medieval

ICNH: yeah wtf
TOAC: the island chooses who the island chooses. good to know
who's this guy?
ICNH: and what is he doing to ben?!
ive never seen this character
wha?
OMG
TOAC: gasp! it's widmore! i actually like this version of him so far
whereas ben seems to have been creepy from the getgo
ICNH: its those beedy eyes
the monster!~~~
TOAC: the monster's gonna judge?!?
ben said he believed john would come back to life once his body got back to the island. do you believe him?
ICNH: its hard to belive anything he says
TOAC: it's always hard for me to tell - which I guess is the genius of the character
ICNH: this is true..
ive been on both sides of the fence when it comes to ben
TOAC: yeah it's mine and addy's constant argument - she thinks he's on the side of right and i have a hard time believing that
ICNH: its hard to tell
TOAC: but for her it comes down to his philosphy - she thinks he's just completely utilitarian. ends justify means, and his end is right.
not sure what i believe
ICNH: im not sure either
TOAC: ooh like the actor who's playing the chubby guy on the beach - he's been in a bunch of stuff
ICNH: whoa
TOAC: omg cannot believe ben is sowing doubt re locke
he's also trying too hard - hope it backfires
shit cesar buys it
ICNH: i hope ben gets his ass kicked, again
see, this is the part hatred i have for ben
TOAC: ethan as a kid!!!! this is so awesome
ICNH: amledu fremauge!
why is he doing this?
TOAC: wha?
oh god yeah - what the fuck is he doing?
"corporate" heh
9:14 PM
ICNH: it worked!
TOAC: a lot hinges on ben doing what he does "because it was in the best interest of the island" as he says. i no longer buy that as his total motivation
nice! Locke's calling his bluff!
ICNH: i cant wait to see him be judged
yeah
cesarrrrrrrrrrr
rolling my rrrrrrr's ther
oh shit!
he just shot cesar!
TOAC: holy fucking shit. ben must have wanted cesar dead for some other reason - else why the games?
ICNH: wow
TOAC: he's so tricky!
gotta pee brb
ICNH: k
good idea
TOAC: so yeah ben is impenetrable to me - have no handle on his current motivations or ultimate ends
ICNH: i know what you mean
its like hes up so something, but im not quite sure if its for the good, or PURE EVIL
"dead is dead"
thats the tittle of this episode
i wasnt aware of that
TOAC: "i think you're lying" - awesome!
ICNH: call him out!
9:23 PM
TOAC: ok, now i am totes confues. ben saved teh baby AGAINST the others' wishes???
ICNH: why do they want it dead in the first place?
or, her, i should say
TOAC: no idea but it's more motivation for killing alex later than just to piss ben off
ICNH: good point
who is that?
TOAC: love love love locke doubting ben given his past STUPID tendency to buy into his bullshit
ICNH: yeah....
hes really stanging up to ben
its sun!
and the capt
were they doing it?
:P
uhh ohhh
scary
lol
scary i mean
TOAC: locke's little wave was awesome
i am still so curious about christian. at first assumed it was something else using his body but some of his other interactions make me think there's more there
9:30 PM
ICNH: i hope we get to see the monster in this episode
i miss the monster
TOAC: i still think one of the creepiest things in this whole show was when claire was in the cabin, all casually "i'm with him" gesturing to Christian
ICNH: yeah
TOAC: MORE MONSTER!!!
ICNH: wtf was that
TOAC: wha mustve missed it
ICNH: and throw in a polar bear while you at it
poor sun
i think she is one of the most inocent charictars
on the show
o
wait
i take that back
i forgot about the cheating
and the lying
what the fuck is that?
TOAC: so fucking great - locke's ben's stern father
ICNH: he is
TOAC: wonder if this passage was always there, or if ben later installed.
ICNH: where is he going?
hmmm
TOAC: eeuw - it's like he just flushed a giant toilet with his hand ON THE INSIDE
ICNH: what is going on
lol
i was thinking that too!
oooo
TOAC: oooh more complexity added to more amiguousness about why alex died!
ICNH: ill be seeing you, boy
yeah
because i killed him
TOAC: oooh! dead is dead according to ben!
ICNH: is he lying right there?
TOAC: this is so fucking exciting!
ICNH: here it comes!
lol
that was locke
TOAC: nice touch of humor or possibly pointed. is locke the one thing ben can no longer control?
ICNH: kinda looks like it
is ben really upset at all of this, or is it another ploy?
TOAC: i don't know! i'm tempted to think he was surprised by locke's resurrection, but then again it was so important to him to get his body on the island
i wonder if he thinks locke isn't really alive or is some other state of being, similar to christian's unexplained status
although i don't even know if ben was previously much aware of christian. i need to get on lostpedia again
ICNH: sorry... was peeing
that sucks
glad were not on the freeway
did you see that?
TOAC: i did see that - i'm actually super-stoked that the dude let his family go
ICNH: yeah
TOAC: it just seems like lately there've been a lot of shootings of kids and spouses by insane dudes
ICNH: people like ben
locks the man he alwas been
9:44 PM
TOAC: omfg this is waht i've wanted to know forever - who beat ben up? are penelope and desmond alive?????
ICNH: wow
im at a lost
TOAC: i hope desmond is the one who kicked his ass.
ICNH: no pun intended
TOAC: plus that they all lived
nice speech by john - wonder if ben really learned anything from it
ICNH: if he did, it was shortlived
cause now theres the temple to worry about
TOAC: ooh - does going under the temple make a difference than going in through the door?
oh shit - desmond'll "know" what ben's sorry for?
ICNH: thats was it seems like
yeah
wtf
fucking ben
yes!
carnage!
9:49 PM
TOAC: oh fuck yeah!
ICNH: wheeeeew~!
TOAC: peeing again brb
ICNH: ok
:-o
9:50 PM :'(
x-(
:-/
those are fun
TOAC: i am kinda impressed that ben seemed to change his mind about killing penny
although i guess we'll never know if he decided for sure in that moment since desmond tackled him
ICNH: yeah
that was a pretty cool scene
TOAC: yeah - the blood while he was falling through the water was a nice touch
visually
ICNH: it was
im getting a beer... would you like one?
TOAC: oh yeh - teh unusuals premieres next - i'm kinda interested
and i would like a beer! how ya gonna manage that? i'm on my last, but i might be able to steal more from the roomies upstairs...
"what lies in the shadow of the statue" wtf?
ICNH: yeah... what is that all about
TOAC: holy effin shit - wonder if they're all ben's people?
9:56 PM ICNH: its a trick!
o shit
lol
that was kinda funny
9:57 PM
TOAC: cant write consumed with curiousuty
ICNH: thats it!
thats the monster!
what?
i hope she punches him
good!
wow
what does this mean?
TOAC: no idea what it means.
not sure how i feel about the smoke monster visions but loved the rest
ICNH: so, do you think ben is gonna follow john now?
TOAC: i think he'll try
goes against his nature so it'll be interesting to see

10:06 PM ICNH: totaly... looks good
TOAC: good night!
