I <3 the Ben Linus centric episodes.

Best European History teacher ever.

We will probably see Ernst too!

really enjoyed this episode, very well executed.

Also it seems that the Dharma Initiative existed in bizarro universe too, and that Ben and his dad were a part of it. Though we have no idea as to what happened.

Also there is a submarine!

So it seems the Island still existed.
Well, I guess until it blew up, that is?
But what caused the Linus' to leave, then?

I like how Richard is getting more airtime.
I love Richard.

That was a really good ep. Really nice seeing Ben interact with Alex in the alternate timeline, his speech with Ilana, Jack going all crazy, and of course Richard. Richard centric ep in two weeks!

Miles is a dick.

Am I remembering this incorrectly or in the past didn't Miles say he couldn't get any reading from ashes; that he needed a physical body. And then of course when we first saw him use his power outside of the island as a job there was neither available when he was asking the ghost kid where the money was hidden. Either he's lying or the writers are extremely inconsistent.

I think he was lying.

I think the father of the boy who died said he spread the ashes . So maybe with the wind and all there would be no remains at all to be in contact with?

Sweet episode. Ben's redemption was touching. He only ever wanted to be accepted and needed. All those many murders are now forgiven.

Is the island the Stanford Prison Experiment?

After seeing the below picture, there is just no way Flocke is the bad guy:

I've said this so many times but nobody listens!

The split occurs the moment the bomb is set off on the island. Everything that happened before that still happened. Ben and his dad were on the island, the Dharma initiative still existed, etc, etc.

The bomb going off is what set off the divergent path which goes on a different trajectory starting at that moment.

Which timeline is the divergent path then?

The one where the plane doesn't crash aka the flash sideways.
