LOST S3 E20: "The Man Behind The Curtain"

There's a lot of good about this episode.

I mean, some of this probably would make more sense if I waited to say it until the episode was happening.

But as we all have just discovered, we will not be remembering that kind of thing.

you know? So I did think this is, this is just like a theory Lostpedia had, but like this episode shows that Ben's mother dies when he's born.

Obviously it's where it starts.

Um, and it may explain his obsession with trying to prevent pregnant women from dying.

I don't know if I'd say that is an obsession of his.

I don't know.

I didn't

even make that connection.

I didn't either.

I'd never even considered that.

Um, So also, Richard, so this is just something I'm going to say, and then we're not going to comment on it until spoilers.

If we want to, we don't even have to.

But as everyone who is watching may have noticed that Richard is shown in three different timelines in this episode.

When Ben was a young boy, when he's like eight to 12, when he's a young man, when he's doing the, I don't know what they call it, the Dharma side.

That's funny.

And when he is obviously in the present day.

when Ben's in his 40s.

We can see Ben has aged and Richard has not.

So that's just something to keep in mind.

I'm not going to say anything else about that.

He could just be like a

Paul Rudd type, you know?

Yeah, that's so true.
