They keep advertising it like "it's not too late to get Lost." Uh...yes. Yes it is. :) But since season 4 started, I have let THREE people borrow my Seasons 1,2,3 DVDs and they are ALL hooked (took like 2 weeks per person to watch all of them). So maybe it ISN'T too late, as long as you have the DVDs. Honestly! They keep advertising it like “it’s not too late to get Lost.” Uh…yes. Yes it is. :)

I love it! It's totally plausible considering we know Ben's been off the island a lot, which we also now know is probably part of the cause of his cancer. Jacob no likey when you leave. :) How did someone get the Black Rock journal off the island? Or was it pirated before it got there? Does Penny use this book as part of her research about the island? Is Jacob one of the people from the black rock, and is he pulling a desmond time-traveling consciousness thing? Meaning, he's really still back in the past, but he can BE in the future like Desmond did? But maybe he's at a point where his consciousness doesn't always have a body to go to, hence he is just a "ghost." Or maybe he uses other bodies on occasion (Christian Shepards?). And speaking of christian, how was he conscious to the point of telling Vincent to wake his SON? Was that a previous consciousness of his coming forward and regrasping his body? Also was thinking just a simple little thought that Sayid, the romantic, was the perfect guy to have there when Desmond needed to call Penny. I like when they write characters and situations so well. Also, Minkowski died saying "Can't...get...back" Does that mean that his consciousness is still out there, it just can't get back in this body now? Maybe it stays on the ferris wheel? Maybe it is lost out there in the past somewhere? Who else has this wandering consciousness problem but is able to control it? I still maintain Ben probably can. But maybe he can't. Maybe he really is just a man behind a curtain. If Desmond keeps his Constant, he might be able to survive it and even control it given the time and practice. But what good would it really do? Daniel said "you can't change the future." Is he right? Cindy has a great idea there. I love it!

During the bidding for the journal from the Black Rock, there was a bidder on the phone. What if that bidder was Ben, and now, because he lost the auction, he has to get the journal from Widmore, thus creating a Ben-Dharma-island-Widmore link....unless of course, it was just random rich guy.

This was one of the best episodes ever. EVER on television. Of any show. :P Is what happened to Minkowski and friend, and to Desmond, "the sickness" that hasn't been mentioned in a season? Are Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse the greatest geniuses of our time? Who wrecked the comm room? Ben's guy? Why? Is Michael going to be on this freakin boat?? Ug, the Penny/Desmond love story is the greatest! It puts the stupid triangle/quadrangle to pathetic SHAME. Really? More clues about the Black Rock? Widmore gets the first mate's diary. Holy crap I can't wait to find out what's in there. And Widmore has GOT to have something to do with 815 being found in the sunda trench. Come on! Why, not sure. How, not sure. He's just EEEVIL. Also, the name Minkowski: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Minkowski Lots of great crap in there... I have to work now dangit!! But my brain is reeling with Christian Shepard theories, Michael theories, Danielle theories... argh! If only I had 31 more minutes! I realized we actually never got an answer why Desmond was kicked out da army. Hm. Holy crap, I have so much stuff to add to what I wrote last night and yet ZERO time to think about this.
