SP: Lost Season #5

Keeping in mind Ben's famous words, "I always have a plan," I am going to be VERY interested to see how he gets back to the island. We see that one of his plans for saving the island had him leaving the island at the cost of never being able to come back alive. Remember, Ben never said "I always have a plan of survival."

One possible explanation of what happened at the FDW got some heavy support from the new video released at ComicCon, Chang (alias Marvin Candle) suggested the solution to finding them involved time. Adding some serious support to the theory that Ben moved the island not in space but in time, and unless you get yourself onto the same time stream, for lack of a better term, you'll never find it. Widmore doesn't have those resources … yet.

I also think that if Ben gets back to the island, it will be a terminal act. He will die as a result, which might be what he wants. Perhaps, that would keep some aspect (genetics?physical alterations) of his specialness out of ready reach of manipulating scientists and entrepreneurs.

The fact that Richard was dipping his fingers into the affairs of ordinary people off the island suggests to me that as much as the Dharma Initiative was going to the island to tap its resources, the Others were going to the mainlands to tap their resources.

The Lost Comic Con panel hinted at a new storytelling method this season other than flashbacks and flashforwards. E's Kristen had more hints to that in her spoiler chat at www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/detail/index.jsp?uuid=f3f204ed-7526-4de6-8d2c-70993349df5c

I hope Ben kills Penny in season 5.

The season begins filming on August 18, so if the Lost team has any new characters for Season 5, they'll need to start casting them soon. Some info about two potential newbie characters was posted at spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/08/update-on-new-characters.html

Doc Jensen of Entertainment Weekly posted a long article about Comic Con, and teased throughout the whole article that he knew the title of the Season 5 premiere episode. At the end, and after various false titles, he gave out the title of Season 5's first ep, which is:

Remember, Jack said to Ben that Locke told him the "Very bad things" that happened on the island were Jack's fault for leaving. So the title probably suggests that at least one scene in the premiere will feature Jack and Locke/Bentham's meeting on the mainland before Locke landed in the coffin.

Yeah, but when we last left our heroes, Jack was at the point where he realized they had to go back. So that might be what the title is all about. I'm hoping that maybe Ben gets to slap Jack every time he goes Jackface or starts to cry. Sorry, but if Ignatz Mouse can throw bricks at Krazy Kat, Ben should be allowed to kick Jack.
