Previously...on LOST!

[OumaFan]

I'm definitely back into the show, as is obvious by my talking to myself on here. First season was great, second and three slight letdowns but the 4th was good and things are really starting to happen now.

Looking at one of the Lost forums makes my head hurt, these people have theories for everything, why Richard Alpert looked normal when he talked to Sawyer in episode 7 of the fifth season but looked like a hippie when he was talking to young Ben around the same time, in the 70's, etc., etc., etc.

But you would think Sawyer and everybody would have to meet up with young Ben at some point now that they're staying in Othertown in the 1970's. And the question is why didn't Ben know that as an adult, why didn't he mention anything about seeing Sawyer, Jack, etc. when he was a kid (of course he could have known and just didn't say anything) but I think it seems from the cases of Russo and Widmore that going back in time sort of changes their memory in the present. Russo didn't recognize Jin earlier on in the show but maybe if she had still been alive and in the present day (like Widmore) then she would have after the point in time during the present that they went back in time. Because Russo didn't know Jin but Widmore, who was alive in the present after the point in time in the present that they went back, knew Locke.

Haha, a paragraph of gibberish. It kind of makes sense to me I guess.

I will say these Lost forum people are fucking encyclopedias, I didn't know half of what they were talking about.
