Ok, I have a confession. I wasn't really looking forward to this episode. After last week's craziness, I just wanted to see what happened with everyone now that they're back on the island. But after seeing "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham," I'm really impressed! It was a great episode.
First, I can't believe how evil Ben is! I mean, yes I can, but him killing Locke was just crazy. I think he just wanted to figure out how to get back to the island and then when he found out, killed Locke, not knowing that was most likely the island's plan all along.
I think Locke actually came back to life - I don't think it's a Christian Shephard ghost type thing. But I'm sure we'll find out soon enough!
I'm glad they resolved the Matthew Abaddon storyline, I'm a fan of Lance Reddick (he's on Fringe now) and I was afraid that because of that, he wasn't going to make another appearance on LOST.
It was nice to see Walt again. I'm assuming he'll have to come back to the island soon, and I think it was interesting that Walt was dreaming about Locke's return. Do the other people from the plane want to kill him or was it just that they're suspicious because they don't know where he came from?
Ben was injured in the plane crash - very interesting. Obviously, the island is completely finished with him.
This episode really raised the question of who is "good" - Ben or Charles Widmore? Ben certainly isn't winning our trust right now, but let's not forget that Widmore sent people to the island to grab Ben and (most likely) kill everyone else on the island. I think that they're both simply trying to acheive their own ends, no matter what the cost.
I'm starting to think that the overall plot on the island is going to move towards trying to stop the purge of the Dharma-ites by Ben and Co. Assuming Widmore was their leader before Ben, is it possible that he ordered their murder? Who knows. Anyways, this was a great episode and I can't wait for next week!

I had this same discussion with my husband last night. I asked, "So who's the bad guy, Widmore or Ben?" He said, "I think they both are."
And what's the deal with Daniel Farraday? Do you think he's as old as Richard?
I wasn't looking forward to this one either Swanpna, lol!!! But I did end up thinking it was awesome.
Great episode! I'm also wondering who the bad guy is, Whidmore or Linus.
I'm missing Sawyer, though - this was the 2nd week!
“Ok, I have a confession. I wasn't really looking forward to this episode.” I’m right with you there. I thought this would be sort of a wasted week but I LOVED this episode.
“I'm starting to think that the overall plot on the island is going to move towards trying to stop the purge of the Dharma-ites by Ben and Co.” Now THAT would be interesting for sure – I’ll have to think more about that one.
My son and I watch, we too had come to the conclusion that they're both bad! I'm wondering, the one new girl, don't know her name, told Locke that the pilot of the plane and a woman took one of the kayaks, the passenger list and took off. The pilot was the helicopter pilot,right? From when they took off from the freighter? What do you think that's about? D'you suppose that the woman was maybe Sun? I can't remember if we saw her at the end of last weeks episode. I know we saw Kate, Jack and Hurley.
Also...totally off subject, why the heck does Daniel keep that tie on all the time. Sheesh....get comfortable for cryin' out loud!!
If Widmore wanted to make friends, he should have told his mercenaries not to shoot at everything that moved!
I haven't watched this episode yet so I'm having to blur out my peripheral vision so there is no spoiler action from above.
Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog AND, I noticed you have Girl With a Dragon Tatto in your top 08 list!! I can't wait for his next book in June (or is it July?) anywho, can't wait.
Cheers.
Good thoughts on the episode. I am looking forward to Whidmore's back story and what happend at the docks w/Penny and Desmond.
All locke's episodes have at least one or more important revelations revealed either about locke's "mystic" special trait, or a major plot in the story is revealed.
and each time richard appears, i find myself loving him more. and i think he have a major role by the end of this season or the next one.
wish i found this weekly lost post earlier ^^
