We'll be back with another podcast on April 12th! Until then, Stay LOST!
Awesome guys, keep it up
Did anyone notice Charlotte in the background when Sun was talking to Christian? Has Faraday changed the future?

I'll miss you guys while you're on hiatus. I always look forward to the podcast.
One note Juliette had an affair with Goodwin (killed by Ana Lucia), not Ethan. Ethan was at Juliette's sister's apartment building and later seen at the hospital where she worked, but they had not relationship.

I hope you have a fantastic wedding and honeymoon! Congrats!
just one little comment - i got a HUGE laugh when Jack was assigned to be a janitor and i immediately thought that was Sawyers doing. Didnt he and Julia put jack, hurley and kates name on the list as well as why they are there? anyways if it was Saywers doing then I LOVING it :)
thanks again for a terrific Podcast! I am not officially addicted and cant wait until April 12th when you are back :)

I have had an issue with lost for a while and a co-worker and i were discussing it and i thought i would share it. WWW Where Was Widmore?
Now Widmore seems to be watching the 6 from the island just as closely as Ben was. You can't tell me that with Widmores resources that he wasn't able to know that all 5 of the oceanic 6 (yes i know that sounded stupid) plus Ben and Locks body had a ticket for the same flight.
Widmore had to know this was going to bring them to the island. Why wasn't Widmore on that flight?

2 things:
Why do you pronounce ruse as "roose"?
and secondly, Juliet never slept with Ethan... she was with Goodwin.

Screen cap links above are broken or otherwise not available. SledgeWeb still happens to have all those images online (as of this writing). Here's the general link; just click the secondary "continue reading" links once on the site for each picture(s):

There's even a quick video embedded of the scene with Sun where the mystery background person appears. Also, Lostpedia [ http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Ben ] has a decent cap of young Bug-Eyes; 4th picture down. And the Trivia section in Lostpedia's "Namaste" entry (link at top) features a pic of Sun & the blonde backgrounder.

My wife and I got the impression that Ben wasn't able to go to 1977 because he was already there as a kid, and couldn't be in the same time/place as 2 different ages.
If that were so, maybe Sun is Pierre Chang's kid from the season premier? And Paik adopted her?
Not sure what that would mean for Lapidus though...

Crazy Theory Warning
I think that the "Others" and "DHARMA" unknowingly both work for mutual and yet to be seen 3rd group of people. Alpert and probably Waxmen are the only 2 on the island that are aware of this.
The 3rd group is known as Jacob. Hawking and Widmore are probably members of this 3rd group.

Have you guys ever tried using something like The Levelator to balance the volume levels in your podcasts? The three of you have very different volumes, and it makes it difficult to listen - I turn it up to hear Robert, and my speakers get blown out when Matt laughs :P
Give it a try...I think it'll help you guys out.

John should start the "Intresting Nod podcast"!
Jokes aside: thanks for your great podcasts!
Posted by: nn | March 23, 2009 at 05:22 PM
One thing I thought of ... if Ben knew about the plane crash in 2007 then what else does he know. Is this going to turn into the what Ben knows show ?
If he did know then how ? Did Jacob tell him ? In which case anything is possible. That would be a huge Deus Ex Machina.
D&C : "Writers we need an out"
Writers : "We'll use Jacob".
Hope they don't go doen that road ....
Other than that only kind of liked the episode. It was only OK not good not bad, just OK.

When I went to listen to LostCast #76 instead I got #75. Everyone else doesn't seem to have that issue. Any ideas?

Anyone else having trouble downloading? iTunes couldn't find it, and now the link here seems to not be working either. Can someone repost? Thanks!!

Will miss u during your hiatus - hope the wedding goes well and enjoy your honeymoon. Thanks for all the work on the podcasts!!

The question came up during the 'cast regarding Ben's age. Here is my math:
The Purge: December 19, 1992
Ben: born ? (my guess: 1965)
Ethan: born 1977, 15 (one of THE NUMBERS) at the time of the Purge. Died in 2004, at the age of 27.
Ben came to Sayid while in his cell (in 1977). Looked about 12. Would've been 27(!) at the time of the Purge.
In the present (2007), Ben would be 45.
Can we get someone to challenge this theory? I want to know what you think.

ehh I think the girl looks more like Libby but who knows!

So Sarah, Jacks ex, was also in Happy Gilmore. Saw it today and realized Virginia Bennett is also Sarah. I know this adds nothing to the show but hey, I thought it was cool.

Since the guys are not going to be casting for the next couple of weeks, I suggest that we do the leg work (check out the Fuselage and the Numbers forums) and post the results of our research. There are several great resources out there. Let's have an in depth discussion of the themes, reveals, characters, and references in typed form.

I just want to say I LOVE YOUR PODCAST. I have been listing for over a year, and the LOST community is what makes the show so enjoyable for me.
That being said, I thought Namaste was one of the best episodes all seasons. Fast-paced, lots of reveals, character development. All the good stuff. So you guys need to get your energy back up and keep up with the great work. Stay Lost.

Sorry if I missed someone addressing this somewhere....
If Locke stopped the flashes when he turned the wheel, what caused the flash that sent Jack and the rest to the 70's? Was this ever addressed in the show?
Posted by: Bored at Work | March 25, 2009 at 08:36 PM
Sorry about the Ethan/Goodwin mix up. I hate missing basic plot points.
I'm such a peedot.
