Whoa, that last shot is chilling.

Psychedelic

****! they don't usually show much info on the next episode teaser....to be honest i'd rather not have seen that.

if anyone doesn't want to spoil the next episode then don't watch that clip, massive spoilers imo, it looks like a couple of classic wtf reveal moments with 2 major characters so don't watch it if you want to see it happen during the actual episode and appreciate the shock!

How is there massive spoilers? its called the life and death of jeremy bentham if it was an add on tv it would be a ronseal one

Sad Professor

You're right, Psychedelic, it is very spoilerish. Sorry, I should have put an extra warning. I've added it now.

widmore saying something to locke about his destiny/the island i think (i'm trying to forget this!) and a person present when locke is hanging himself

i'd rather see that kind of info revealed when i'm watching the whole episode, not in the teaser. but i suppose everyone has different opinions on what they consider spoilers. actually i started a thread a while back with what some people said was a spolier in the thread title, although i didn't think it was.

ah no bother, like i said above we all have different opinion on spoilers.

Sad Professor

It's a probably a good sign though. If they are giving away this much in the promo, the episode must be fantastic.

Damon and Carlton wrote it and it's directed by Jack Bender. These three have always made a good combination.

PirateShampoo

ohhhh looks like its going to be a good one.

4 toed Locke???

abelard

Wow, that was pretty spoilerific.

Not too disappointed, the big thing they revealed I had already guessed, and I'm sure most people had as well.

Hopefully, as was mentioned above, that means that that is one of the least shocking things about the episode, and they're holding back the good stuff!

Is that the back of Bens head kneeling down with Locke ready to hang himself?

I was about to ask that too.

I'm pretty sure that it is Ben.

Also, I hope Walt is in this episode considering he told Hurley that he got a visit from Locke.

Would tend to think that, alright.

Im probably wrong though.

Looked like Richard to me for some reason

Sad Professor

Guys, seriously

it is definitely Ben!

Also, apparently this episode is 4 minutes longer than usual. Don't know why. Either a) it's so good they couldn't cut anything (wishful thinking), or b) when they switched it with 5x06 they had to move a few scenes over.

I can't wait for this episode. Locke and Desmond episodes are always the best! Looks like we're gonna get some more answers this week.

And it looks like Ben to me!

I 'acquired' the episode 316 and it was just over 41 minutes

I know, that's about average length. This ep is supposed to be 45/46 minutes long.

So then its not just material that was moved from last weeks episode as that would have made it 4 minutes shorter?

Not necessarily, they could have just made "316" longer in editing. Even the little beats between dialogue can add a lot to screen time. Or they might have had a few deleted scenes to add back in.

Of course, by that same logic they could have made this one shorter as well. I dunno, hopefully it just means the episode is good.
