Dude, you’re dead. At least that’s what Hurley said to Charlie when he had an off-island conversation with him at St. Rosa.
But according to this latest promo from ABC featuring Dominic Monaghan, maybe Charlie Pace isn’t quite so dead anymore. My fellow Charlie fans should enjoy the possibilities! I mean, they wouldn’t pay him to appear in a promo for a show he’s not going to appear in next season, right? That wouldn’t make sense.
Before we start theorizing about how Charlie could be, well, not dead anymore, I’d like to have a little more time for this all to sink in. What do you think?
Back in “The Other Woman” Harper told Juliet that Ben likes her because she looks “just like her.” We’re never told who the “her” is that she’s referring to. Many people thought it was Annie. But I have another theory that occured to me while watching the Pop-Up version of “LaFleur.”
The other woman that Juliet looks like… is herself.
Last week, fans started wondering where young Ben was in the midst of all this DHARMA flashback business. Sawyer and company flashed back to 1974, and they were rejoined by Jack and company in 1977. If we’re matching up timelines from what we knew previously, Ben and his father Roger should have arrived on the island during this time.
Fans started asking how Sawyer, Juliet, and the rest of them could have peacefully coexisted with the boy who would grow up to be such a heartless monster. What if Juliet played nice to young Ben in an effort to, no matter what Daniel said about changing the past, make him a less horrible person? Ben might have idolized her and developed a crush on her as he grew up.
And that’s why he was so obsessed with her in his adult life when she was recruited to solve their fertility problems.
The biggest hitch in all of this is that Richard has seen her on-island in the 1970s, and then he later recruits her for Mittelos Bioscience without batting an eyelash.
We know that their relationship is doomed to be cut tragically short when Nadia is murdered less than a year after she and Sayid find each other again, but I try not to dwell on that.
Sayid and Nadia didn’t have it easy from the beginning. It was his job to torture her when she [...]
It’s not just a Star Wars quote any more. Not that Karl has ever seen Star Wars before.
Karl was right. Ben was playing them. He sent Alex off to the Temple with the two people who are the biggest thread to his relationship with her - her mother and her boyfriend. [...]
In “The Man Behind the Curtain,” we saw Ben unflinchingly murder his father with a nasty nerve gas, part of a greater plot that exterminated his fellow members of Dharma in the same horrifying manner. The systematic destruction of an entire people - genocide. Haunting echoes of the gas chambers used by the Nazis.
In [...]
Apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Jack’s father, Christian Shepard, was a raging alcoholic. Jack, in his post-island future, guzzles liquor and pops stolen pain pills like candy. And let’s not forget that he almost jumped off a bridge - and not even into water, it looked like concrete down [...]
Be sure to check out the newest version of the LOST Character Relationships Chart, now up to date until the end of season three.
