Dead Is Dead

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 by Gideon

Questions Raised:
  1. How does Locke instinctively know where the Monster is?
  2. Did Dharma know about the doorway that is in Ben's house?
  3. Why did Ilana and Bram ask Frank "what lies in the shadow of the statue?"
  4. What is in the crate?

Answers Given:
  1. What is the hole Locke is pulled into? These holes around the island seem to be "tunnels" through which the Monster can travel.
  2. Why did the Monster not attack Eko? Based on what Ben experiences, it judged Eko to be "good," or at least gave him another chance.
  3. What are the flashes inside the Monster (apparently Eko's past) representative of? The Monster appeared to "scan" people to judge them.
  4. Why did the Monster kill Eko? Based on the information given in this episode, it would appear that the Monster did not like Eko's refusal to repent for his actions and killed him.
  5. What did Ben do to "control" the Monster and why is he dirty? It seems Ben cannot control the Monster, but instead told it about the mercenaries and it attacked them. He is dirty because he had to crawl down a tunnel to summon it.
  6. How did Widmore leave the island? After it was discovered that he had a daughter off the island, he was forced to leave. He left via the sub.
  7. What did Ben do and why is he beat up? Ben went to kill Penny, but stopped after he realized she had a son. Desmond attacked Ben once he realized what Ben was doing.
  8. Why did Ben kill Locke? Ben claims he did it to make sure that the Oceanic 6 would return, due to the shock of Locke's death, he just didn't have time to talk Locke back into suicide.

"Did Dharma know about the doorway that is in Ben's house?"

The Answer is No! Because Richert Albert said in season 5 that they don't know about this door and he can pass the fence by this way. He made this conversation with Jack and Said when they were carrying the bomb.
