'Lost': Recap for '316' is live
Another week, another brilliant episode of Lost. I'm terrified the writers, producers, and actors are going to produce such high quality for such a long period of time that we as viewers will either 1) stop appreciating it, or 2) be ruined on other television shows forever.If you want my lengthy recap of '316,' be sure to visit It Happened Last Night for all the details, all the mythology, and all the analysis. I look at Eloise's allegiances, Ben's late-night encounters, and when everyone currently is on the Island.
As always, leave your comments over there, but leave your pressing questions below, with a "WAAAAAAAAAAAALT!" or a "BLOOP!" in front of them. I'll answer them early next week as we prepare for "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham." And if that title doesn't get you instantly stoked for next week's, well, you're no longer welcome to come over and play Wii Bowling with me.

BLOOP!
So many questions now, it's hard to pick just one good one to ask.
- What purpose does the Island still have for Desmond, Aaron and perhaps Walt, since they've apparently been left behind? How do they get back there now, even if they wanted to?
Why wasn't Walt on the plain. It would've been perfect.
BLOOP!!!
This isn't so much a pressing question as a fun thing to mull over. Since it appears our Losties have been stuck with the Dharma Initiative for at least a little while (long enough to infiltrate and get jobs, plus Jin's sunburn is all healed) wouldn't it be fun if Jin is the one who first teaches a young Charlotte to speak Korean?
How about the "never ask me about Aaron" demand. I was kind of hoping that when Jack discovered Kate on the rocks, he would asked her, "OK, we're on the island. Now can you tell me what the frak happened to my nephew?!"
BTW We've got to come up with a name for the posters who choose to hang out here the morning after. (As opposed to the It Happened Last Night-ers.)
The Butterworthies? The Morning-Afters? The Other-Others?
WHY do they have to back? What exactly do they have to do now that they are there?
I second Tom's question.
Why didn't they get Walt to go on the plane too? We already know that Locke went to see him!
Maybe Walt has grown so fast that he's already gotten his pilot license and is sitting co-pilot with Lapidus!
Holy moly, Deb. Jin teaching Charlotte Korean would be great.
WAAAAAALT:
This has been a question since basically the beginning. Why did the Others leave Desmond alone? Obviously Ben knows all about him and his relationship with Widmore and Penny. So, did they just need him to push the button, or know that he was special, or didn't care, or....
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!
- So everybody on the plane other than Jack, Kate, and Hurley: do we think they are someWHERE else or someWHEN else? Or are they still on the plane, continuing to Guam?
- Hurley didn't know that Ben was going to be on the plane with them, which seems to imply that Ben was not (at least to Hurley's knowledge) involved in coercing Hurley to go back to the island? So, who/what was responsible? Was it the island reaching out to him, a Widmore (or a Ben) endeavor, or any combination of the above (or-- 'cause it is Lost and you never know-- none of the above)?
I think I have to go watch this episode again now... :)
DW Sara - The current school of thought re: Hurley's sudden appearance is that Charlie convinced him to go back, hence the guitar. This would be consistent with Charlie's last appearance to Hurley in which he repeated the message "They need you" in both verbal and written form.
