LOST: The Dharma Years (in pictures)

Time traveling, romance, major character deaths and jaw-dropping plot twists. Season 5 of "LOST" has a little bit of everything. One of my favorite time periods of the series is what I like to call the "Dharma Years," where the Survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 get stuck in 1977. For this Season 5 blog, let's look back at 10 pictures representing scenes and storylines that made the Dharma Years so great.

Dharmaville

Jin learns English

Sayid shoots Young Ben

Kate shows sympathy toward the Linus family

Miles and Hurley talk time travel

...And "The Empire Strikes Back"

Until next time,

Namaste... and good luck.

LOST: That really happened...

Make no bones about it - a lot of really weird stuff happens on "LOST." But let's take a few minutes to look back on some of the absurd scenes you might have forgotten about over the years.

Season 1

Walt gets attacked
Polar bears. Yeah, yeah, I know. There are polar bears on the Island. Whatever. That's all explained and, compared to some of the other things that happen on the Island, the polar bears really aren't that big of a deal, in my opinion. But do you remember that in Season 1 Episode 14, "Special," Walt gets attacked by a polar bear? And, what's more, allegedly, you can hear one of the polar bears say "Walter" as it swipes at the boy as he hides.

Season 2

In cold blood
In Season 2 Episode 10 ("The 23rd Psalm"), we learn more about the man known as Mr. Eko. He had a turbulent childhood that ultimately culminated in him becoming a fake priest, but a startling part of his past involves a young Eko shooting and killing an innocent man at the behest of a gang of Nigerian warlords. That's just not something a kid should ever be involved with. At least he turned out to be a pretty good guy before he died.

"You all every Butties"
One of the strangest things I remember about "LOST" before I actually started watching the show was a bunch of grown men in diapers dancing around in a gigantic crib. Yes, that really happened - in Season 2 Episode 12, "Fire + Water," when the rock band Drive Shaft did a regrettable commercial for "Butties" in one of Charlie's flashbacks.

He must not have read Moroni 8
Also in "Fire + Water," Charlie has dreams and premonitions that Claire's infant son, Aaron, is going to die on the Island. So, naturally, what does he do? He kidnaps Aaron in the middle of the night and tries to baptize him in the ocean! Thankfully, he is stopped before dunking the baby.

I thought it was Jesus, but, apparently, I was wrong
And in one last scene from one of Charlie's dreams from "Fire + Water," he briefly glimpses Hurley walking out of the jungle and, according to Lostpedia, is dressed in a biblical robe like John the Baptist. So random.

The psychic was a fake
Much ado was made about Richard Malkin, the psychic that insisted in Season 1 that Claire must be the one to raise her child. That whole storyline was a bit overblown and never really amounted to anything, but it is not commonly remembered that Malkin also appears in Episode 21 of Season 2 ("?"). Malkin tells a priest - Mr. Eko - about a miracle that transpired when his daughter, who had drowned and died, unexpectedly came back to life. Malkin becomes emotional and admits to Eko that, although he has worked with the alleged mystic arts in the past, he is a sham of a psychic and his services are fraudulent. And he was never seen nor heard from again. Whatever.

Season 3

Locke's hallucinations and his time on the commune
Episode 3 of Season 3 ("Further Instructions") focuses on John Locke, who we learn previously spent time working on a "commune" - AKA a secret marijuana plantation. As if that wasn't random enough, after seeing a naked Desmond running through the jungle, Locke realizes that the blast from the explosion at The Swan has left him unable to speak. He builds himself a sweat lodge, does some kind of hallucinogenic drug and spends a good chunk of the episode in some kind imaginary airport with the recently deceased Boone. To top it off, there is a polar bear in this episode for good measure, making this arguably the strangest episode of the entire series.

Kate marries Nathan Fillion
Ok, actually, his name is Kevin. But he's played by Nathan Fillion in Season 3 Episode 6 ("I Do"), and they actually do get married. Until Kate drugs him and runs, like she always does.

We weren't sure who "Jacob" was quite yet, but ok...
There was a lot of trippy stuff happening in Season 3. In Episode 7 ("Not in Portland"), Alex Rousseau's boyfriend Karl gets brainwashed in Room 23 of a Dharma building. Karl gets strapped to a chair with an IV in his arm and glasses on his eyes. He is eventually found by Kate and Sawyer as he unconsciously watches a video that flashes bright lights and odd images, including the phrase "God loves you as he loved Jacob."

Jumping Jack Flash
In what is commonly known as the worst episode of the series, we learn the mysterious meaning behind Jack's dumb tattoos in Season 3 Episode 9, "Stranger in a Strange Land." At one point, Jack gets jumped by Thai gang members who are apparently offended by the meaning behind his tattoos. It makes Jack's Oriental girlfriend cry. All right.

Wait, is that... Lando Calrissian??
In one of the least popular and most maligned episodes of the series, we learn more about two random Survivors named Nikki and Paolo in "Exposé" (Season 3 Episode 14). Nikki is a former TV star who previously worked on a show with none other than Billy Dee Williams - and his name in the "LOST" universe is actually Billy Dee! It's true. Look it up. To the surprise of some of the Survivors, who find the script for an episode of Exposé on the beach, Williams' character, Mr. LaShade, secretly turns out to be the villain of the show.

Season 4

A suicide mission from the devil
In the Season 3 premiere, we watch as Ben Linus, the leader of the Others, sends two of his men - Ethan Rom and Goodwin Stanhope - off to pretend that they are also Oceanic 815 Survivors. In "The Other Woman" (Season 4 Episode 6), we learn that Ben intentionally sent Goodwin to find the Tail Section to keep him away from Juliet, who Ben had a very possessive crush on and who had been committing adultery with Goodwin. Goodwin was killed in Season 2 by Ana Lucia Cortez, shortly after she discovered that he was an Other. Ben tells Juliet at one point that he did these things to her, including keeping her on the Island against her will, because "You're mine." Creepy.

Season 5

Now hold on a second...

In S5E06 "316," Ben pulls out a book as he hops on the Ajira flight. Jack asks, "How can you read?" Ben responds, "My mother taught me." I've always loved that line, but I just realized that it's a lie! Ben's mom died during childbirth. 😅😣 #LOST

That's pretty dark - even for a man who looks like he wears guyliner
Season 5 Episode 8 ("LaFleur") is one of the best episodes for Sawyer. But it also includes a very odd moment, in which Richard Alpert tries to maintain peace between the Dharma Initiative and the Hostile Others. Early in the episode, time-traveling Sawyer and Juliet watch in horror as they see two Hostile Others murder a member of the Initiative named Paul. Tensions rise and they end up killing the two Others in self-defense. Richard confronts Horace Goodspeed at Dharmaville, under the impression that Horace's people have violated the Truce. Sawyer (going by the name "Jim LaFleur") explains to Richard that he was the one who killed the Others and thus, because he is not actually a member of the Dharma Initiative, did not violate the Truce. Richard ultimately takes Sawyer's word for it and asks for one thing in exchange for continued peace on the Island - the Initiative must give Paul's dead body to the Others. Oooooook then.

Season 6

No English? Now? Really?

In Episode 10 of the final season, there is a moment when Sun tries to flee from the Man in Black but trips and falls, hitting her head. The concussive blow causes her to forget how to speak English. She can still understand it and she can write it down - she just can't speak it. With only nine hours of programming left in the series, this storyline feels like a really sharp left turn from the progress of the season and stands out as one of the episode arcs in "LOST" that felt almost completely unnecessary. The fact that she suddenly remembers the language, and then she and Jin die within a matter of four episodes later (RIP) just makes this fiasco seem even more pointless.

Sounds like an episode of "Amish Mafia"
"Across the Sea," Episode 15 of Season 6, is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing hours of the series. The episode takes place decades (at least) before the Dharma Initiative was a twinkle in the Island's eye and only shows the main Survivors in a couple very brief glimpses toward the end of the episode. The rest of the time is dedicated to the backstory of Jacob and his brother, the Man in Black. Many answers are provided and a handful of long-standing mysteries are unfurled, but it seems that many viewers didn't care for this particular episode, overall. While we at The Underground don't mind "Across the Sea," we do have one question: what was up with that weird language that Mother spoke?? Thankfully, mercifully, the producers gradually transitioned into English after a while, but for a few minutes there, Mother really gets on our nerves.

Doctor. Doctor.
We learn that Jack II and Juliet II were previously married in the Flash-Sideways. Kind of weird. Thankfully, Juliet II and Sawyer II end up re-connecting and ending up together, but surely that was an awkward conversation for our favorite couple from the Dharma Years. "So, um, I had a child with Jack..." (It is of note that Locke II reminds Jack II that he never had a son, and that David Shephard does not appear at the church. Good riddance.)


Kate, with the rifle, on the cliffs
Despite all the crap she gets throughout the series (and desevedly so!), there is one thing that you've got to give Kate: it is she - not the Jack, not Sawyer, not Jacob nor Ben - who finally kills the Man in Black in the series finale. Good things she saved some bullets.

So, there you have it! Our weirdest moments of "LOST"! Are we missing any other obscure scenes that have stuck out to you in the past (or... the future)? Let us know in the comments section below.

And, as always,

Namaste... and good luck.

LOST: The good, the bad and Benjamin Linus

"Sometimes good command decisions get compromised by bad emotional responses."

Those were the words of one Benjamin Linus, moments before "moving the Island" in the Season 4 finale of "LOST." Through his three seasons on the show thus far, Ben Linus, a self-proclaimed "good guy," has said and done a lot of things - some good and some very, very bad - and has established himself as, arguably, the most fascinating character in the entire series.

As we did for Kate Austen, let's use Lostpedia to quickly characterize Ben Linus to give us a brief overview of who this mysterious man is.

Classifying Ben Linus:

Lostpedia characterized Ben in the following groups (among others):

• Jacob's Candidates
• The Others
• Leaders of the Others
• Dharma Initiative Staff
• Fathers
• Murderers
• Patients
• Multilingual characters
• Pianists
• Teachers
• Cancer survivors

Ben is truly a man of many talents, making him one of the most multi-faceted characters on the show, certainly. As much as you want to hate the guy, you can't help but be intrigued by him.

Moral ambiguity is defined as "lack of clarity in ethical decision-making. In other words, moral ambiguity is when you have an issue, situation, or question that has moral or ethical elements, but the morally correct action to take is unclear, either due to conflicting. principles, ethical systems, or situational perspectives."

Ben Linus is unquestionably one of the most morally ambiguous characters in the history of modern television. Throughout the remainder of this blog, we will dissect some of Ben's most pivotal scenes through Season 4 only and analyze how - and why - he so often let bad emotional responses compromise his good intentions, as well as a couple times when he did the right thing.

Ben Linus, the liar

"I lied." That's a line that escapes Ben's lips more often than not. In fact, in the Season 4 finale, when he tells Locke, "I wasn't being entirely truthful," Locke responds, "When are you being entirely truthful?" Ben is a notorious fibber, and it makes the Survivors and viewers alike detest the man. He clearly cannot be trusted.

Ben Linus, the bug-eyed bamboozler

"How many times do I have to tell you, John? I always have a plan." From our first encounter with Ben Linus, way back in Season 2 when he was known as "Henry Gale," he was acting in a way that he knew would allow him to manipulate others. The most frequent target of Ben's manipulation is, of course, John Locke. Ben constantly drives a wedge between Locke and his nemesis, Jack Shephard, causing Locke to question whether he is actually calling the shots on the Island. Locke often takes out his frustration by throwing dishes against the wall, much to the delight of an internally giddy Ben Linus. Possibly the most incredible thing about Ben's manipulation is that he can do it from positions of power, as well as less fortunate situations, like when he is being held prisoner or (quite often) getting his face pummeled by Jack.

Ben Linus, the man of his word

On the other hand, Ben has also been known to keep his word from time to time. He has notably kept his word to Michael, who he promised to let off the Island in Season 2; Jack and Juliet, who he promised to allow on the submarine in Season 3 (but not if Locke has anything to say about the matter); and Kate and Sayid, who he made a deal with at the end of Season 4.

Ben Linus, the murderer

Ben has got a startling amount of blood on his hands, whether directly or indirectly. Let's take a look at these scenarios individually:

• The Dharma Initiative: During his younger years, Ben assists Richard Alpert in what is commonly referred to as "The Purge." In one fell swoop, Ben personally kills his father, Uncle Rico Roger "Work Man" Linus, and Richard and the Primitive Others wipe out the rest of the Dharma Initiative. All of the bodies were tossed into a pit, where Ben would later attempt to murder John Locke.
• Anthony Cooper: As a way to manipulate Locke in Season 3, Ben arranges for John's scumbag father, Anthony Cooper, to be brought to the Island. He tells Locke, essentially, not to show his face among the Others again unless he makes a significant personal sacrifice. The irony of it all is that, although Locke hates his father, he cannot bring himself to do it. However, there is someone else on the Island who would be more than happy to relieve him of that burden; James "Sawyer" Ford realizes that Cooper is actually the Sawyer that he has been trying to track down his entire life. Sawyer kills Anthony Cooper for Locke, essentially making Ben responsible for the murder.
• Goodwin Stanhope: Ben has kind of a weird crush on Juliet before the Oceanic 815 crash. Juliet had been committing adultery (let's call it what it is, people) with a man named Goodwin, who was previously married to a woman who died giving birth on the Island. In order to get Juliet for himself, Ben sent Goodwin on what ended up being a suicide mission when he assigned the man to locate any Survivors from the tail section of the plane. Goodwin was killed by Ana Lucia, in self-defense, a matter of weeks later.
• Martin Keamy: Ben is directly responsible for the death of Martin Keamy, the head mercenary from the freighter. Ben kills Keamy in retaliation for something we'll discuss in a moment, during a scuffle at The Orchid station. Although Keamy is despicable and likely got what was coming to him - and it could be argued that Ben killed him out of self-defense - the big problem with this murder is that Keamy was wired to a heart monitor that held the lives of everyone on the freighter in the balance.
• The freighter: When Keamy died, it was only a matter of time before the bomb in the mechanical room of the freighter went off. Despite Michael's best efforts, the bomb explodes and presumably kills everybody that wasn't able to get off the ship in time. This includes Michael, as well as Jin, who appeared to be blown away as his screaming wife, Sun, was flown away from the boat. The most chilling part of all of this is the moment when Locke explains to Ben that he just killed everyone aboard the freighter and Ben coldly responds, "So?"
• Alexandra Rousseau: This is, arguably, the worst lie that Ben ever told. After abducting Danielle Rousseau's infant daughter years ago, Ben had basically raised Alex as his own daughter. She and the Others often refer to Ben as the girl's father, and he totally treats her like his own kid, whether for good or bad. But when Keamy and his team of soldiers march their way to Dharmaville to confront Ben with guns a-blazing, Ben is forced to make an emotional decision. When Keamy captures Alex and holds her at gunpoint, demanding that Ben turn himself in, Ben calls Keamy's bluff by saying that Alex is not his daughter - that she means nothing to him. Out of annoyance, undoubtedly, Keamy pulls the trigger and kills Alex. Ben is very much to blame for this, and he knows it, judging by the look of sheer terror on his face. It's definitely a heart-wrenching moment. It actually looks as though Ben felt bad about this one - and it's a moment that he won't soon forget, as we will see in future seasons.

Ben Linus, the man of a thousand threats

Ben has an odd rivalry with Charles Widmore that has not been fully explained through four seasons. During "The Shape of Things to Come," Ben visits Charles and promises to extract revenge for Alex's death by threatening to killing Widmore's daughter (and Desmond's girlfriend), Penelope. We'll learn more about this lovely predicament as the show progresses.

Ben Linus, the dictator

Ben's rule over the Others appears to have been a tyrannical one. We learn in Season 3 that Tom Friendly and many of the Others have grown tired of Ben's leadership style. Ben is oppressive to some, such as Alex's boyfriend, Karl, and creepy to others, like Juliet, who he once told, "You're mine." Oftentimes, it was Ben's way or the highway on the Island, and it didn't always work out they way he would have wanted.

Ben Linus, the torch passer

When it becomes clear to Ben that his mission is going to take him off-Island, he finally decides to pass the torch of leadership to John Locke. As Locke and Ben explore The Orchid, Ben is relatively patient with Locke and explains many of the answers to Locke's never-ending questions. Before descending down to the donkey wheel, he tells Locke where to find the Others - his new people - who are "ready, willing and able to share what they know." He also says, humbly, "Goodbye, John. I'm sorry I made your life so miserable." Though his methods along the way were highly suspect, Ben Linus ultimately set John Locke up for success in his new role.

Ben Linus, the mover of the Island

In what may have been Ben's most heroic moment thus far, he successfully moved the Island, with tears in his eyes, at the end of Season 4. While his motive may have been somewhat selfish (to improve his standing before "Jacob" and stay one step ahead of Charles Widmore), moving the Island likely saved the lives of everyone who stayed on the Island. If the Island had stayed where it was, Widmore would have known exactly where to go and he would have wiped everyone out, reclaiming the land as his own. But Ben's turning of the wheel prevented that impending catastrophe for the time being, despite presumably causing a typhoon of new and unknown challenges for the future (and... the past...) of the Island, its inhabitants and the Survivors of Oceanic 815.

Ben Linus, the man of many words

Ben has the best quotes. His dark sense of humor is inappropriate, incredible and perfectly timed. Michael Emerson is a master in this role. While I could write an entire blog of Ben's best lines from Season 4, I'll leave you with just one, proving to the world that Ben Linus is the father all men should aspire to be:

Benjamin Linus. What a guy.

Until next time,

Namaste... and good luck.

LOST: Season 3 Greatest Hits

I have just finished watching Season 3 of "LOST" - a day earlier than anticipated, too. I have updated my Quick-Binge schedule to reflect the updates in my pacing. Although, overall, Season 3 is not likely my favorite season in the series, there are some pretty awesome moments - the best of which I would like to count down, appropriately, in a list of "Greatest Hits." We begin with Number 5.

5. The introduction to Dharmaville and Sawyer's polar bear problem

When Season 3 kicks off, Jack, Kate and Sawyer have all been abducted and taken to what will later affectionately become known as "Dharmaville," the home of Benjamin Linus and the Others. This portion of the season gives us a good look at how the other half lives, so to speak, and we start to delve into some of the mystery and lore behind the Dharma Initiative. I, for one, love the freaking Dharma Initiative, so I am all about this stuff.

One of my favorite parts comes while Sawyer is being held hostage in one of the polar bear cages. Sawyer, ever the curious one, discovers that there are several pushable buttons in the cage, and he slowly begins tinkering with them to see what they do. After much trial-and-error, Sawyer finally solves the puzzle.

Behold, one of my favorite scenes in the entire series - Sawyer solves the polar bear puzzle. #LOST pic.twitter.com/FeIHvniWQE

Sadly, the only thing he got out of it was a little bit of water and a fish biscuit. But his reaction beforehand was priceless.

4. Jack watches the Red Sox win the World Series

When Jack is being held at the aquarium by Ben and Juliet, Ben tries to convince Jack to operate on his spinal tumor. He tells Jack that if he cooperates, he will allow the doctor to return home. Jack is skeptical that there is even a "home" to go back to. Ben intends to prove to Jack that "home" still exists by stating several facts that had occurred in the real world since the time of the Oceanic 815 crash: George W. Bush got re-elected, Christopher Reeve passed away and the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. Jack laughs at the idea, telling Ben that, if he wanted to trick him into believing that the real world still existed, he should have picked a different team. Moments later, Ben wheels in a television and shows Jack the final play of the 2004 World Series.

I love this scene from "The Glass Ballerina" for several reasons:

1. As a life-long sports fan, I can only imagine what this experience would be like. Jack and his father are both die-hard Boston Red Sox fans. They are also incredible pessimists who are certain that the Red Sox were "made to suffer," as I have discussed in a previous blog. At the time that "LOST" originally aired, the Red Sox hadn't won a World Series in 86 years. Jack must have assumed they'd never win another championship again, with that kind of luck. I think Matthew Fox does an incredible job of acting in this scene. If I had been stranded without technology or communication for two months and somebody told me that the Jazz had won the NBA Finals while I was gone, I'm sure I would have been similarly incredulous. Sometimes truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction. Great stuff.
2. It proves that, contrary to somewhat popular opinion, the Island is real. It's not a dream, it's not Hell or Purgatory. It's a real place, and the real world around it is still ticking.

3. Hurley restores the Dharma van

"Tricia Tanaka is Dead" was the episode that made me consider watching "LOST" for the first time. In 2008, I had just returned from a Mormon mission, where I hadn't watched TV at all for two years. When I got home, my family had been using a DVD rental service from this store that used to exist called "Blockbuster" to watch "LOST," one DVD at a time. I didn't have any interest in watching with them - they were in the middle of the show's third season, apparently, and I was too busy trying to figure out how to use Facebook. But when I heard "Shambala" by Three Dog Night playing multiple times in one episode, I admit that it made my ears perk up a little bit. Surely, any show that played Three Dog Night couldn't be that bad. I began watching with my brother several episodes later.

"Tricia Tanaka" is one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. I could spout off a huge list of reasons why this episode is great - from Hurley telling the Korean-speaking Jin that he sucks at charades to Hurley's mother covering the ears of her Jesus statue before telling a disgusted Hurley that she "has needs." More than anything else, this episode is one of the funniest - and happiest - episodes of the series. The reactions of Hurley, Charlie, Sawyer and Jin after they get the Dharma van started makes me happy. It's sheer elation from a group of guys who have been down on their luck and, as Hurley would say, really needed a victory. Toward the end of the episode, composer Michael Giacchino wrote a gorgeous orchestral rendition of "Shambala" that is such a fitting conclusion to a beautiful, fun, different episode. What's not to love? I really think that these might be my favorite five minutes of the entire series.

2. Charlie Pace dies a hero's death

For the better part of the first three seasons, Charlie is kind of a weasel. He's a drug addict, he's a bit annoying and he's not someone who can generally be trusted. But he surely redeems himself in the final three hours of Season 3. "Greatest Hits" is undoubtedly Charlie's best episode, showcasing the rockstar's finest moments instead of dwelling on his hard-drug habits or his sibling rivalry. Charlie leaves the beach by telling Baby Aaron that he loves him and kissing Claire, and then, although his methods may have been questionable, by protecting his best friends, Hurley and Desmond.

Charlie gets all aboard the "Destiny" train as he swims down to The Looking Glass. He believes that this is his mission - and his alone - and that by flipping that switch, he will save the Survivors. Ultimately, with a little help from Desmond, Charlie un-jams the off-Island communications and unexpectedly discovers that it was, dare I say, "NOT PENNY'S BOAT." Charlie gave his life for his friends - the noblest of ends for a character that needed redemption perhaps more than anyone.

I do have one question, though. Why did Charlie have to seal the door to the communications room? The two women working at the station had previously clarified that the equipment down there was waterproof, so the flood wouldn't have ruined anything, whether Charlie had flipped the switch or not. Why didn't he just book it out of the room once the grenade went off and swim out with Desmond the same way that they came in?? This all could have been prevented! But hey, what do I know?

1. The Flash Forward

Let's be honest - there are some episodes in Season 3 that are not great. This one season not only gave us "Expose," but also the episode all about the meaning behind Jack's stupid tattoos! Ugh. Why? But the two-part season finale is so good. So good. I could write an entire blog about all of the awesome stuff that goes down during "Through the Looking Glass," but let's just talk about the concept of the Flash Forward.

First of all there's Jack's beard, which is classic. Matthew Fox actually plays a really good drunk. Jack is in a really bad place, physically and mentally, in this episode. Despite being referred to as a "hero" several times throughout the episode, the guy is just out of control. Something is bugging him, bad. He keeps making phone calls to somebody, who I suppose we would assume is his ex-wife Sarah, if we haven't seen the show before. He's super depressed about it and he is even driven to the brink of suicide. In the midst of all of this, he's flying all around the world during an epic alcohol bender and he visits the funeral of somebody that nobody apparently loves. Who is this person? What has got Jack so bent out of shape? And who does he keep calling?

It turns out to be none other than... KATE AUSTEN?! Jack knew Kate before the Island? But wait... this isn't pre-Island. This is... they... he... THIS IS POST-RESCUE! Jack and Kate have already been to the Island, and Jack is sure that they have made a mistake by leaving. He tells Kate that he prays that his cross-continental flights will crash. He actually says that. But hang on a second - didn't they find the plane in the bottom of the ocean with a bunch of dead bodies inside it? So what is up with that?? Why does Jack want to go back? Why doesn't Kate? Whose funeral was it? Why did nobody want to go? And who is going to be wondering where Kate is? What is she talking about? Oh man. Terrific.

"We have to go back, Kate. We have to go back!!"

Until next time,

Namaste... and good luck.
