So, "what?" Slit throat doctor is like, what, a week ahead floating to the island but helicopter flies over with no time alteration? I have so much trouble keeping time straight with this show!!!!

And what was that strapped to Keamy?

Frank, yeah, Keamy's the merc (I had to look him up to be sure myself).

Most likely, erin, the doctor's body floated around, drifting about, and not in the safe and specific course that the helicoptor has been taking back and forth. So I guess he floated into the future?

My only guess on the device on Keamy is that, where it looked like it was near an artery, that maybe it was some bomb or a trigger for a bomb in case he died? Otherwise it seems that he expected the captain to fear his sporty iPod.

I can't make the time business make sense. The doctor's body got to the island before he was killed. But Sayid, who left the boat before the doctor was killed, still hasn't shown up on the island. And the conversations over the phones seem to be simultaneous on the island and the boat.

Lt. Daniels from the Wire (Abaddon, IMDB says) is also ageless or time travelling or whatever, right? I am having trouble remembering when he has shown up - sometime with Hurley and sometime with Kate and sometime with Naomi? Those might be closer in time than I am thinking.

The book Locke didn't pick said The Book of Laws on the cover.

Yeah, but he's taking the correct heading that avoids all the timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly business.

I don't think he's ever shown up with Kate. He originally showed up to give Naomi her assignment, and then he popped up to pay a visit to Future!Hurley regarding the fate of everyone still left on the Island.

There's speculation that Ben and Locke are brothers because they both have mothers named Emily.

I was wondering about that last night. Not that I remembered the name of Ben's mother, but I halfway wondered for a bit if the name wasn't a fakeout, and we were actually seeing Baby Ben.

And then I remembered that Ben grew up on the island. And then I remembered that I can't keep track of anything on this show without a wiki.

Ben wasn't born on the island though.

Yeah, but he's taking the correct heading that avoids all the timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly business.

True. Or, presumably true, anyway. It can't be easy to hold a heading with a zodiac in the open ocean. I guess I was hoping the timey-wimey business would be less wibbly-wobbly.

Oh, Stephen Moffat. Bless your addition to our lexicon.

This was pointed out on TWOP - an interesting resemblence between Ben and Aaron's father.

Oh, my, that's striking.
