Lost: Season Premier. Tonight

[Fast Learner]

Though some seem to have doubts or other problems with Benry's rule... remember Julia's emotional moment in the first couple of minutes.

First, that could easily have been because of Ben's rule, and second, if you don't break down in private now and then in such an incredibly insane situation then you're psychotic, and that's no help.

I am now thinking that LOST is more a remake of THE PRISONER - this is the ERUEKA for all those spys and master minds who wanted sharks with freaking laser beams. It is their think tank or at least was at one time.

What was that comment Benry made at the beginning of the episode (right when the others were outside watching the plane after he started giving orders)? Something like "Well, I guess I'm out of the book club now" or similar?

That sounded to me like what had just happened (either the crash or the orders he had given or both) had changed something about the heirarchy of the others' group - like he was just one of them (at least in name) until something went down, and he assumed (re-assumed?) control of the group... Anyone else think that was a strange comment?

Paraphrasing:
"Why Sawyer? You said, what did you do with Sawyer and Jack. Why Sawyer first?"

I thought that exact same thing 2 seconds before Benry said it.

I enjoyed the episode.

Interesting theory, but IIRC he looked down at the book in her hands before he said that.

I think that's looking for something where they might not be something. I've seen no evidence that Kate is actually that careful with her words that order would really matter.

Did he? I guess I missed that part. The comment makes sense if he did though.

I agree, but that doesn't mean he wasn't trying to make her think about it, or worry about why he said it - I get the feeling the Others are good at that sort of thing Or maybe Kate subconsciously thinks the order is important.

I think you person would mention someone they cared about more first. And I think that is what Benry was getting trying to point out. It seemed like she was shy toward Sawyer after when they put her in the cage

I got the impression that he hadn't been invited to the meeting. That, plus the little exchange between him and Juliette at the end, leads me to believe there is some tension between the two of them. A power struggle brewing.

What I really found interesting was Ethan's presence at Juliette's house (seemingly). Were the two of them an item (which might cause some tension over the fact that he was killed by the Lostaways), or was he just helping fix something at her house out of a sense of communal goodwill?

No, he was part of the book club that we see meet in the opening. One of the members there, when complaining about the book selection for that week, says: "I can see why Ben isn't here. Sorry Juliette, I know the host picks the book, but he wouldn't read this thing in the damn bathroom."
