How did Tom know the island won't let Michael? S4E8

How did Tom know the island won't let Michael kill himself?

If Ben is not in contact with Jacob, how did Tom receive this knowledge about the magic protection that wouldn't let Michael kill himself?

Who told Tom and who told whoever told Tom?

Why does sun change her last name?

I'm on s6 and the characters are refering to sun as sun kwon. I know most american audiences won't know that koreans don't change their last name after marriage, but it's interesting that no one's talking about it.

Made my personal LOST character tier list 🏝️

I know everyone has wildly different takes on who belongs where, but this is how it landed for me. Some were easy (Vincent supremacy forever 🐕), others I kept moving up and down.

Went to check out thefuselage.com after many years, and the domain is up for sale and it made me kind of sad

Up for grabs if anyone is interested.

S4 E9. Why does Sawyer feel Ben and Locke are "whackos" for trying to find Jacob? In general, how can the characters act like this after seeing so many strange things?

For example in S4 E9 - Sawyer gets triggered when Ben and Locke tell him they're after Jacob for instructions - Sawyer is done with the "whackos" at that point.

Really though? He just witnessed Ben basically command some magical or UFO like smoke being or machine, few days ago he witnessed the man he spent all his life searching suddenly being on the Island. Etc etc.

And somehow it's illogical for him, Hurley, Claire etc that Locke and Ben are looking for whatever they are looking?

Isn't this behavior a bit nonsensical?

"Because he's the only one who will have me"

I am in Season 6 watching this show in it's entirety for the first time as an adult. I have to say, while I have loved pretty much every minute of it, nothing in the show has really made me feel any sort of deep emotion, other than a general sense of appreciation or empathy for the various characters. But I have to say (as a guy who hardly ever cries or gets too emotional about much of anything), the way Ben delivered this line after the general trend of his arc hit me so unexpectedly and so deeply I teared up immediately and had to watch the entire scene again. I just thought it was such a beautiful moment of honest vulnerability and maybe self realization

Underrated line readings?

We’re all aware of Lost’s famously funny or emotionally satisfying lines. Your “my mother taught me”s, your “small world, huh”s your “oh yeah, there’s my favourite leaf”s,your “we have to go back”s etc etc.

But what are some lines that you never hear talked about, that you love purely because the actor’s delivery of the line was so perfect?

For me, I love when Walt asks if he’s being punished when he and Michael start building the raft. After Michael’s reply, Walt simply says, “It feels like punishment.”

For such a young actor, he perfectly portrays the exasperated resignation of a kid who’s being forced to do something he doesn’t want to do, for reasons he doesn’t understand.
