Maybe he does age, but he's jumping around in time because of the island, so it only seems like he doesn't age.

Also, doesn't it seem like Widmore is sort of responsible for Locke ending up on the island? It was his man (Daniels from The Wire) that gave him the idea of going on a walkabout, which put Locke on 815.

I might have to watch last night's episode again...

Yeah its almost as if everyone on the island got there not b/c of accident. I am sure it will reveal that they all play a part in a grand scheme of some kind, like the scientists. We do not know why they were picked based on the nature of their professions. As far as Sawyer giving Miles a restraining order, we have seen alot weirder on that island. It would not surprise me if Claire was just a vision since the only other person who saw her was the guy who can see dead people. He probably woke up and found Aaron who had been there all along.

We're getting the extra episodes over the last two seasons. Nice!

Great episode so far tonight. The orchid is an interesting facet. I love how Sun stuck it to her father in the flash-forward.

Seems interesting, I am still perplexed about "moving the island".

It has something to do with the orchid, or at least that's what the writers want us to think. The guys from the boat seem to have beat Ben and Locke back there. I actually think it was just more of Ben's BS. He knows that Widmore "changed the rules," so he probably realized the only way he was getting off the island was to be captured. He may have just suckered Locke and Hurley into following. Like he told Locke, "I always have a plan, John."

On a side note, "moving" the island could be referring to this whole issue of time difference between the outside world and the island. Maybe moving the island doesn't refer to a physical movement at all. Maybe they're referring to shifting it's place in time...

[onlydarksets]

How did they harness the power of the island before Darma put all of those stations there? Was Widmore part of Darma?

Yeah, I was real surprised that no one posted. I thought it was good. Not mind blowing, but good. I thought the insertion of the name Jeremy Bentham was interesting. Jeremy Bentham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He was a very forward thinking man for his time. The Rousseau/Locke/Bentham names pretty much prove the show is some sort of blend of metaphors for philosophical theory.

I gotta admit, I was shocked when Ben "moved" the island. I thought he was somehow going to shift it's place in time. I thought it was pretty bizarre that it actually physically disappeared into the ocean.

Sawyer isn't one of the Oceanic 6. He's still on the island.

When Ben put that winter parka on and said where he's going it's cold, I thought for sure he was headed to the arctic base from a couple of seasons back where those guys called Penny from.

There were a couple of moments that I was expected some "shocking moment" yet ended up being sort of whatever. When Kearney (the big Rambo dude) was down in the hatch (and not dead), I thought "oh shit, this is some sort of freaky time travel shit going on" but then it was just that he had body armor on. And then when Kate sees Claire in the room with Aaron I was like Woah!...but then it was just a dream...or was it?

Overall, I liked it. Didn't compare to last season's season finale though.
