I feel like the show would have greatly benefitted from giving us a Widmore-centric flashback episode in Season Six. That way we could have seen a bit more about his time as leader and his life off-island, plus how his relationship to Penny deteriorated. And we could have gotten a glimpse of that Jacob meeting, which would have helped bring a bit more context to the endgame.

Oh I see! I don't tend to do character profiles in general, or breakdown specific characters unless they have a set of overarching questions and/or mysteries attached to their arcs, like Jacob or Mother or Juliet or Desmond, etc. I always found that characters like Faraday, Charlotte and Miles had fairly self-explanatory arcs. Plus, I often touch upon their characters whilst exploring other parts of the mythology. For instance, I have discussed Faraday a lot whenever talking about Desmond or Widmore or Eloise, or the time travel in general. That said, I don't rule out doing deep dives into each character in future. A lot of people have asked me to do character analysis videos, so it might be on the cards someday! And I'm sure that would include the freighter folk. 👍

I still think the Widmore/Lamppost reasoning is a little thin. With everything he's willing to do to get what he wants. Has surveillance gear in that spot in Tunisia, but can't figure out that Eloise has a hidden Dharma station? Or he just won't go there because of his relationship with her?
@LOSTEXPLAINED108
2 жыл бұрын
I think this is more a case of logical deduction than anything else. We know that Widmore was ousted from the leadership just as Ben was beginning to takeover DHARMA facilities on the island. So, Widmore didn't necessarily have an inside track on The Others absorbing DHARMA facilities *off-island* either. We also know that Widmore wants to find the island again and has invested a lot of money into that project, and is willing to do whatever it takes to attain that information. So, if he knew that The Lamp Post existed then he would have definitely forced his way inside and taken it over. I doubt anyone would expect him to do anything less lol. But Widmore can't know about what he doesn't know. And he clearly does not know about The Lamp Post. And, to be fair to him, not even Ben appeared to know about it either. Eloise Hawking was running that church publicly, but running the station below in secret. She was a guardian in her own way. Waiting for the day to come when the Oceanic 6 would come back on her radar.

“Island genocide” and similar terms are often used to describe what happened to Dharma. But in what way was it genocide? That term does not apply here. If anything it would apply to the other side-the natives. Dharma invaded the island and it’s native inhabitants fought back. What else were they suppose to do? The natives went so far as to sign a truce with Dharma and Dharma broke almost every item in the truce (if not every item) and then the natives found out Dharma was developing a gas to wipe them all out. They even had all the gas masks to protect Dharma personal. They planned on killing every single native so why were they in the wrong to strike first? Of course, we know now all this had to happen to save the world.

I agree that DHARMA showed aggressive, boundary pushing behaviour over the years, but we can’t pretend that The Others were friendly people who kept themselves to themselves. We see the way they treat Amy and Paul when they were just having a peaceful picnic in a valley clearing. They murdered Paul in cold blood and were planning to abduct Amy, and this was before DHARMA had started showing serious aggression towards them. And while I also agree that there was an inevitability to this “Cold War” turning into a hot war due to DHARMA’s repeated breaking of the truce, you cannot pretend that wiping out an entire group of people in a geographic area is a justifiable act. It’s mass murder. There were plenty of people in the initiative who weren’t privy to every plan of the upper management. Those poor kids playing squash who got gassed to death didn’t deserve to die like that. So, I think you are siding too much with The Others and making it out to be a black and white situation when it was anything but. The show doesn’t treat the purge like a righteous event that happened. It treats it as a very dark and tragic period in the island’s history, which even Ben himself demonstrates some guilt over.

Another fantastic video-thank you! This doesn't contradict anything you say...just adding to the conversation. I always thought it was interesting that when Ben brings the kidnapped baby Alex back to The Others' camp, Widmore says something to the effect that if the island wants her dead, she'll be dead. I agree that I don't think Widmore ordered her murder, and that Keamy went rogue. But I have assumed she died b/c the island willed her death. I think her death was a "sacrifice the island demanded" to help Ben complete his destiny. Alex's death allowed fake Locke to pose as Alex and convince him to follow every order from Locke-leading to Jacob's eventual murder, and on and on...until the Losties eventually kill the smoke monster and save the world.

I think Jacob allowing Ben to be healed was part of his long con with the MiB. I think Ben was on Richard and Jacob’s radar the first time Richard met him and he told Richard he could see his mom. Being able to see the dead was a similar power Hurley has which helped the remaining candidates beat the MiB in the final season. I think the island took away’s Ben’s gift so he would become jealous of John once he came to the island. The island did a similar thing with John when it took away’s John’s ability to walk which forced Boone to climb into plane which led to his death. Jacob and the island was just as manipulative as the MiB…everyone who came to the island were just pieces to game and they didn’t know the rules.

Great points about the barracks massacre! You're absolutely correct, the last time Widmore was on the Island, the Others had already occupied the barracks. It could've very well been Widmore's deduction that the Others - being so secretive as he knew them - had the sonic fence on all the time and was protected by any attacks from the survivors. Especially the surprise of Ben being with the survivors and not with his own people. I also wonder if the first time he came to the Lamp Post was after that talk with Eloise in "The Variable", since he finally learned how to find the Island and Eloise knew that The Island wasn't done with Desmond - seeing as Desmond didn't board Ajira 316 and was at the hospital instead, maybe she decided to cooperate with her former lover. Or that the next window/directions came from Jacob instead.

I like a lot of this, but don't get the idea of Jacob intentionally ignoring Ben to provoke him on purpose. However, previous to that, he tells Ben that he has a choice and can walk out of there, leaving them to discuss things without him. In another video the author said Jacob didn't like seeing Ben's character become corrupted and feeling "What's in it for me?" So when he pleads "What about me?" he interprets it as the previous and replies, "What about you?" But was that merely a question, or as Ben believed a sign of disdain, saying Ben's service, faith, loyalty and sacrifice didn't matter to him?
@LOSTEXPLAINED108
Жыл бұрын
The idea is that Jacob didn't approve of the decisions that Ben had been making. It probably didn't start straight away. It surely took time for Ben to become the manipulator that we know. And I think Jacob was disappointed in how the boy full of promise turned out: closer to the dark than the light. I don't think he personally liked him. But Jacob also believed in both people and The Island sorting out things for themselves. The less he interfered, the more that events would play out the way The Island wanted/needed them to. Ben probably requested to speak to and see Jacob multiple times over the years, and Jacob shunned him very specifically as a result of the bad choices he made as leader. By the time we get to their confrontation in the statue, Jacob knows that he might have to die in order for the chain to move forward and is prepared for that (Widmore and Desmond are already on the way!). And so he does not coddle Ben. He could easily say: "Ben, I see you and acknowledge your sacrifices. It was all part of a plan. Everything that happened to you was for a reason" but he knows the choice is ultimately down to the man himself. If Ben made the right decision in that moment (not to kill Jacob) it would have demonstrated that Jacob was correct about humanity's redeemability right in front of the Man in Black: "See brother! The worst person on this island can make a morally right choice, even under your influence." So, Jacob does not want to manipulate that choice. It has to come from Ben. It has to be real. So, there are mixed emotions going on in that scene for both Ben and Jacob.

An Eloise-centric episode is definitely on the cards someday! So you shall get your wish :-) Widmore definitely came across as an inconsistent villain between Season Two and Season Six upon first viewing. His motives always seemed contradictory and hard to follow but, once you step back and see the bigger picture (thanks to Season Five and Six), it becomes clearer that he was as much a slave to fate as Eloise was. Only rather than challenge his lot in life or try to be a more honourable person in the grand scheme, he doubled down on his cruelty and ruthlessness. It's only in Season Six when we see him make a move towards redemption, and even then he is still pretty ruthless in how he goes about achieving this. But it's clear that he has changed his ways enough to show more magnanimity towards Desmond and our Losties. And to a lesser extent Ben. I find him a really fascinating character when looking back. Not sympathetic per se, but certainly more interesting and cohesive than the first time watching through. I hope this video helps to clarify what he was about and why he was the way he was.

Hi friend. Excellent video again. One question regarding Ben. Is it not accurate to say that Daniel knew that the time-jumps started because of Ben's actions at the Orchid (turning the wheel), and that it is probable that he made notes to this effect in his journal? Because if this is the case, then it's likely that Widmore would've known the importance of Ben being allowed to turn the wheel, yet if Ben had surrendered himself to Keamy in order to save Alex, he would've been removed from the Island before turning the wheel. Is this another case of Widmore taking risks with the fulfilment of the timeline?
@LOSTEXPLAINED108
2 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting thought! Daniel certainly makes the connection between The Orchid and the time travel, only he doesn't know what exactly. Because he says the following: "Whatever Ben Linus did down at the Orchid station, I think it may have dislodged us." Which means he didn't know about the wheel, only that the station had time travel-related capabilities. We could argue he acquired knowledge about the wheel during the three years with DHARMA, but it's unlikely. Because we see that he dies on the very day that Pierre Chang discovers the wheel. Anyway, whether or not Faraday jotted down a note about this event in his journal is possible, but it raises more questions than it resolves. I think the issue I have with that idea is that if Faraday wrote something along the lines of: "Ben Linus used The Orchid to move the island but it sent the rest of us hurtling through time"... then why would Widmore send mercenaries to extract Ben. Their mission is exclusively to get Ben off the island, at the cost of murdering anyone who gets in the way. And if Widmore believes Ben will be the root cause of the time travel and crucial to sustaining the loop then the mercenaries mission and primary objective seems antithetical to that. Sure, you could argue Widmore was simply providing the motivation to Ben to do what he does, but does that really hold water? The way in which Widmore speaks about Ben and these events after the fact imply that he had no ulterior motive beyond ousting Ben. He doesn't say to Locke: "Ben needed a reason to push that wheel. I gave it to him." He says the opposite: "I needed Linus removed... so it could be your time." Never mind the confrontation in the London penthouse between the two men, in which the disdain is mutual and Widmore does not make any mention of sending the mercs to get Ben to do what needed done. There's only so much we can attribute to the journal, I think. At least that's demonstrable within the story, and I feel this detail might make the freighter arc more inconsistent as a result. I don't dismiss it, but I don't personally endorse it either.

You are really good at establishing a big picture perspective! One pair of characters I wondered about these last episodes are Rose and Bernard. Not sure if they're worth an entire video or if you're planning to cover this in the episode guide, but especially watching the Desmond video recently made me wonder about them. They make a point of *not* being involved and other than rescuing Demond from the well they're never seem to be an essential part of the overall story. And all of that despite even being part of the time travellers. For all we know they weren't even candiates. So in that sense they are a sort of antithesis to the destiny-heavy journey of the other characters.

Yes, as the series goes on, Rose and Bernard adopt the philosophy of not getting involved. You could argue that they unintentionally mirror Jacob's hands-off approach to the tribal warring on the island: let things work themselves out. But they also claim to be retired, which is a fair enough reason for wanting to stay out of the chaos and violence, and living a quiet, peaceful life instead. They were older than most of the other characters. Sometimes they embodied some of the emotional themes of the show, such as letting go of the past and being present with your loved ones, or the important need for finding and keeping soulmates. But they also (unintentionally) represent some iffy moral positions throughout, which I explored a little bit in my video on "Good vs Evil". I think I'd cover Rose and Bernard's mini-storyline in the series guide when going through their centric-episode 'S.O.S'. It makes sense to talk about them in detail with that particular episode, I think.

They truly are just trying to “stay in their lane” and enjoy the time they have together. The Island gave them a miraculous opportunity to grow old together, and I can’t fault them one bit for it. Also, their decision gave Vincent a stable little forever family lol. The older I get, rewatching this and slowly developing my own health problems, I identify more and more with them.

I'll add my interest in more exploration of Rose and Bernard. This comment really got me thinking about the contrast between them as a couple and Eloise and Charles as a couple. These two pairs represent very different responses to the knowledge they receive about the island (arguably quite similar knowledge about the island's powers and time travel); they use that knowledge and the wisdom of their life experiences very differently. Eloise and Charles are almost brutally unsympathetic characters yet I don't think they should have been presented any differently. (I often think that they even sacrificed the sympathy of the audience for the island. It's as though their characters serve the story in our universe exactly as they served the island in theirs.) Could Eloise and Charles have taken Rose and Bernard's approach? Destroyed or hid or just kept the journal and lived quietly in the jungle with Daniel, enjoying the time they had together? It's interesting to consider if they ever thought about it, and what (or who) might've eliminated that option if they did. They're together in the flash-sideways, after all, suggesting to me that they wanted to be happy together. Did Rose and Bernard abdicate a responsibility they had by virtue of their knowledge of the island or did they embrace it by accepting that whatever happens, happens? Did they understand the threat posed by the MiB? I like to imagine these four crossing paths in the seventies, even being friends. Like if Rose and Bernard are why Eloise and Charles fully accepted time travel as reality and committed to their roles and sacrifices. Or if Eloise's and Charles's tragedy of losing Daniel is why Rose and Bernard commit to not getting involved. Or if they shared their knowledge, banded together, confronted Jacob, and he told them, "You two, miserable lives, protect the time loop. You two, happy lives, protect Vincent." And after that he decided that no one should be able to share relevant knowledge on the island ever again, lol. Mystery solved!

Richard said "I watched them die" but he knows the man he told Locke to get, to murder his father, was the same man who sat with him in New Otherton in the 70's. Why is Richard so blunt with Sun? He knows they didn't get vaporised. He speaks with them, 30 years after the hatch blows up! If Richard realised that these people he had files on, in 2004 were obviously the same people he saw in the Dharma Initiative, why was he shocked when John Locke planted the idea that he was from the future, and was going to visit Richard in the 50's?
@LOSTEXPLAINED108

It's a matter of perspective. From Richard's chronological timeline, he meets the time travellers AFTER they have met him in 2004. He then watches Jack, Sawyer, Kate et al set off Jughead in 1977 and vanish in the blast. He meets some of them again years later in 2004, but he knows they haven’t time travelled yet because they do not know him. Therefore, the people he is interacting with -- i.e. Locke -- have yet to live through the timeline he saw them in first. His past is *their* future. And he knows their future ends with Jughead. And that is the last he sees of that time travelling group in terms of their chronology. He had no reason to believe they were going to pop up again in 2007. As far as he was concerned, the time travellers paths end in 1977.

Secondary Protocol was a back-up plan for Keamy, devised by Widmore. In case the mercenaries failed to extract Ben, the Secondary Protocol essentially told Keamy where Ben would go and what he would try to do next. In other words, it explained that Ben would head for The Orchid and try to move the island. The file that we see Keamy reading explains how to locate the station and its functionality. Here's the dialogue between Keamy and Captain Gault: GAULT: What is that? KEAMY: It's the secondary protocol. GAULT: What does it say? KEAMY: Says where Linus is going. GAULT: How would Mr. Widmore know that? KEAMY: 'Cause he's a very smart man. And if Linus knows that we're gonna torch the Island, there's only one place that he can go.

one of my favorite, what I like to call "fun plot holes" (details that technically don't make sense, but I don't seriously consider a detriment to the actual show narrative) is the origin of that photo of Ben that Miles shows to the gang, their means of identification on him. He sure looks like he's at an airport security checkpoint. or really, it's simply the fact that he's ANYWHERE else in the outside world, while there's no indication Ben ever left the island once arriving there as a child, to the point where he gets transported off it via the wheel at the end of season 4. We know Richard used the sub to go off island several times over the years, but nothing else to indicate Ben did and why

Ben definitely spent time off the island. Sayid finds multiple passports with his photo on but different names, which means he is well travelled. We later see that he was a preferred guest at that hotel in Tunisia in which he often visited under the name “Moriarty”. So, he definitely was familiar to airports. It’s not a plot hole, just a couple of subtle easy to miss plot points.

I think Keamy and his men were tasked with both snatching Ben and killing the Oceanic survivors. When Ben had claimed that the latter was one of Widmore's goals, Miles had remained unusually silent. It wasn't until another episode that he claimed that Keamy and his men were solely there to serve as security for a captured Ben. The Oceanic castaways, Daniel and Charlotte had overheard Keamy mention "second protocol", after Frank had tossed them a radio from the helicopter. Daniel immediately looked upset and warned Charlotte to get off the island. I think Widmore wanted the Oceanic survivors dead to confirm and support the fake plane crash site he had planted in another location. Their deaths were all about protecting the island from outside knowledge. The only reason he didn't immediately have Ben killed by Keamy is that the Others would have known about it and accuse him of breaking the rule about killing Others. Remember when Juliet had killed Danny Pickett and got into trouble for it in Season Three? Widmore would have never been able to reclaim his old position as leader of the Others if he had directly been responsible for Ben's death. That is why Ben could not kill Widmore . . . at least before Season Six. But Widmore had technically broken the rule when Keamy killed Alex.

Secondary Protocol was about preempting what Ben would do next. Widmore knew that if Keamy and his team failed to capture Ben on a first run then Ben would try to move The Island. Hence “Secondary Protocol” in case of failure. Captain Gault even asks: “How would Mr. Widmore know that?” AKA How would he know where Ben is going next and what he will do when he gets there? And Keamy reads the file and replies: “Because he is a very smart man.” Widmore’s instructions from that file help the mercenaries to catch Ben at The Orchid. Then what do we see happening? The mercenaries march Ben back to the helicopter to get on it and return to the freighter because the mission has been accomplished. They are literally leaving until The Others attack. Kate shows up and Keamy has no clue who the hell she is. When she tells him she is from Flight 815, he doesn’t kill her or threaten her. They *aren’t there* for the Oceanic survivors. Faraday was worried about the outcome of “secondary protocol” because he understood what it meant. He had spent years researching DHARMA and all of their experiments, especially in regards to the electromagnetism. He wasn’t worried that Keamy was going to kill everyone, he was worried because he knew that that The Others would use The Orchid to move The Island in an emergency, as a measure of last resort, and Faraday did not want to still be on it when that happened. Better to get back to the freighter than be forever trapped on The Island with The Others who want them dead.

Keamy was prepared to kill anyone in the way of the primary objective. He considered everyone a threat until that was complete - when he invaded the barracks, he has no idea that any Oceanic survivors are there. He assumes they are all Others who would die to protect Ben. Miles tells the group when they ask him that the mercenaries are here for Ben. Later in Season Five, Lapidus also confirms this when talking to Sun. He literally says: “Their only mission was to get him.” As in: their only mission was to get Ben. Those are very specifically phrased words. And Ben also concurs with this analysis twice in that season. Widmore further adds clarity when explaining his actions to Locke, that he needed Ben removed so it could be Locke’s time. These lines of dialogue in Season Five were added by the writers to bring clarity to the audience who were still asking questions about the freighter’s purpose and Keamy’s intentions/missions. It was their way of clarifying all of that stuff so people would stop asking questions about it. Just think of it in terms of what Widmore would want from this scenario. He knows that a whole bunch of the people from the Oceanic camp are going to travel back in time, including Locke (who he believes will become a future leader of The Others) and his own son Faraday (and the other members of the science team) whose time travel shenanigans is absolutely crucial to stopping the incident from destroying The Island and the world in 1977. Widmore knows ALL of this. That is what he has been working towards much like Eloise. He wouldn’t want to task Keamy with murdering “everyone on The Island” indiscriminately and risk Keamy killing these people. It makes no narrative sense nor does it make sense in terms of logical character motivation.

These all seem like solid rational explanations to the series. The only fly in the ointment I would ask you to consider is a fairly substantial one. One that Ben told Hurley, when Hurley became the leader of the island. Hugo says Jacob said no one could leave the island. Ben replies that is just how Jacob ran things.. maybe there is another way, a better way. So up until Jacob is dispatched, No one was allowed to leave the island because that was what Jacob willed. So we know that the smoke monster can assume any shape and admitted to taking on the shape of Christian to Jack in season 6. How is Jack able to see Christian when he and the others were "off the island" and supposedly back in the mainland. If that is indeed smoky in the form Christian is on the mainland because Smoky is specifically being held by Jacob. How is Christian/Smoky on the mainland. How were Eloise and Charles and Ben allowed to leave. Hugo/Hurley makes a cryptic statement to Jack when they are playing horse basketball in the psychiatric hospital. He says we never really left the island. There are a whole bunch of things about Locke from the very 1st season that seem off and are too many to cite. But thats the beauty of this show. It allows every viewer to draw their own conclusions

Thanks for all the effort you expend on these videos and answering our questions. I have a couple that no one else seems to be asking, if you'd indulge me: 1. The Oceanic 6 rationalized lying about the island to "protect" the people still on it. But who exactly are they lying to for this "protection" purpose? Surely they're not afraid of armies and the private sector invading the island. They have no desire to preserve the pristine sanctity of the island and if anything, might see such parties as good for the ones left behind. It can't be Wilmore, because Wilmore knows they're lying, and they know he knows because they're playing along with his cover-up. What gives? 2. In many videos you say that the island has no qualms killing people the very moment they complete their usefulness/destiny. So why exactly did the other Oceanic survivors have to live exactly long enough to travel to the 50s and get massacred in the fire arrow scene? Was their real purpose to serve as meat shields for Sawyer and Juliet? (Sorry if I sound harsh on this one. It's just always bothered me how callous it was for the writers to kill off these background characters in one fell swoop after taking such pains to invest us in the notion that they were all important members of a community that lived together rather than dying alone). 3. Why was the Man in Black stuck in the form of Locke after Jacob's death? Related to that, how does Ilana have knowledge of such a minor detail about his powers? 4. Why is the island shown to be at the bottom of the ocean in the flash sideways?
@LOSTEXPLAINED108
2 жыл бұрын
1. Remember, the Oceanic 6 were basing their decisions off little information. Jack says the lie was to protect those they left behind, but really he is doing it because Locke told him to. And Locke, like Ben, wants to keep the island a secret from the outside world. But Hurley questions this decision/lie throughout Season 4 and Season 5, and the O6 all suffer fallout and immense guilt from distorting the truth. The show portrays them as being wrong for having lied. It was a way of covering up the truth of their experiences. Because who would believe their crazy stories of smoke monsters and hatches? The only people who would believe it would be the people who already know about that stuff, like Widmore. Who the O6 believe is willing to kill over the island. They have justified the lie to themselves using Widmore. In their minds, they don't want to risk making their knowledge public in the fear that people like Widmore will seek out the island again, which could risk the lives of people still there. But really they lie for the wrong reasons. 2. As for the background survivors, they are part of the time loop too, remember? Anyone who travels in time in Season Five is already part of past events that cannot be unwritten. The reason why all of those survivors from Oceanic 815 are on the plane to begin with is because they each have a destiny to fulfil on the island, including being part of the Oceanic camp and being involved in day-to-day events (less dramatic stuff we never see). More importantly, many of them are destined to appear in the past of 1954 and be killed by flaming arrows on the beach (mistaken for military invaders by The Others). This event cannot be unwritten. It is their fate. A tragic one. But yes, I agree that it was a harsh decision by the writers to kill them off that way. The plot mechanics of Season Five could no longer support their existence. 3. The Man in Black was stuck as Locke because Jacob had been killed, which limited MiB in his powers and abilities. The brothers are two halves of the same battery. The positive charge has been destroyed, limiting what the negative charge can do. I explain this a bit in an old video, but will be elaborating on it in more detail in an upcoming video. 4. A few reasons for the sunken island. Firstly, The island has no reason to exist in the world of the dead. It's purpose is to keep the living world in balance. In he sideways, this "cork" is no longer needed because everyone is already dead and on the other side of the light. Like a mirror image. Through the looking glass, you might say! It is visual metaphor, but it is also literal. I explore the practical reasons as to why the island is literally sunk in the sideways in my video on "Were they dead the whole time?", in which I explain that it is a result of our Losties not crashing on it within the sideways' imaginary timeline and, therefore, not time travelling back to 1977 within that "timeline". Hence nothing to stop The Incident from destroying the island. That day in 1977 is the schism point in which history within the sideways starts to alter the original history of our characters. You can also look at the island being sunk in the sideways as a collective expression of our Losties not having remembered it yet. The sideways is a construct of memories and fantasies and possibilities. The ocean is part of their collective consciousness, and the island lies just beneath it.
