"Dead is Dead" Live Commentary

[cubbie]

Holy Shit Ben!

cubbie beat me to it.

I said it first!

 

[DarthPipes]

That was unexpected.

 

[Klaus]

can someone tell me what happened before the title? I got home late.

 

[Trippy]

Ben!

bye bye ceaser

 

[Brent]

ok major plot hole: how does young ben remember his father and how shitty he treated him but not remember at least juliet and sawyer who have been with dharma for 3 yeas now??

I don't think you understand how time travel works on this show. Ben doesn't know them before he saw them in the past

 

[cubbie]

Ben!

bye bye ceaser

I thought he'd still be in a few more episodes, at least!

 

[Velocity]

Poor Caesar. Was it the Ides of March?

 

[Gertch]

Ben stands up to Charles. In front of everyone.

 

[Klaus]

Poor Caesar. Was it the Ides of March?

Ides of April??

 

[Gertch]

Friggin awesome! I LOVE THIS SHOW!

 

[Brent]

This episode is goin places

 

[DarthPipes]

For a second, I thought Sun and Frank had been getting it on...

Thirty minutes have gone by already? Geez, Lost is the fastest show on television.

 

[Trippy]

*Locke does a Queen's wave*



Hmmm...Why Locke to find Jin?

 

[Stone_Cold_Sisko]

How does Ben not remember LaFleur and the rest in DHARMA? makes no sense...

 

[Velocity]

Richard always is there in the thick of things, but he never seems to be the one in control. He's like the king maker, never the king. Maybe he's a construct of the island.

If he's not simply lying I'm sure they'll explain it. The writers know us better than we know ourselves.

 

[Brent]

As explained above, that is not the way time travel works on this show. They don't remember what happened in the past until it actually happens. Current Ben doesn't know them before he sees them in the past.

How many people's faces could you recall 25 years later?

I get what that means but is that official because doesnt that go against "you cant change the past" that faraday and his mom was going on about and charlie died for.

so now either ben is lying about not remembering the oceanic folks in the past or....?

The temple!
