GRRRRR......BEN?!?!?!?

If you are like me, I am still scratching my head from last night's episode....and still a little miffed. So, Ben killed Locke. I had my suspicions this might be the case. It seems like the tables are turning on the Ben = Good Guy business. I am still clinging to the thread that this is still the case, but after last night and seeing him kill Locke....I am definitely starting to have a "big fat meanie" vibe from Ben. What really suprised me about the whole scene was how it seemed Ben was sincere in his pleading with John, trying to save him, only to turn around and kill him. Is Ben doing this because he really does only want the island for himself, and that has been his motivation all along?? Or is there some other purpose in which he knows John is really the special, chosen one we all hope he is?? I have hopes it is the latter. It was heartbreaking to see John go through the rejection of all the 06'ers once again, especially Jack; and it was really heartbreaking to see him in that wheelchair again. Poor Locke. It was good to see him with Walt though. He genuinely cares for Walt and it seems he wants Walt to go on living his life in peace and far from the island. However, I feel like he has finally started turning the corner and now we will start seeing Locke becoming who he is supposed to be....The Leader.

I had a change of heart with Mr. Widmore after last night as well. Who can keep up with the good guy/bad guy on this show??? I really felt like Widmore was being honest with John about Ben exiling him from the island. How else do you explain the fierce fued between the two of them?? However, if Widmore knew that Ellie knew how to get back to the island, why didn't he just go to her himself and try to get back?? What prevents him from being able to get back the same way Jack & Co. did on Ajira?? He would simply have to go back to the island the same way he came to it in the first place, right?? But how DID he get to the island??? On the Black Rock perhaps??? Maybe that is why he has such an interest in paintings of it and books about it. Mysteries.....mysteries....

This scene was so great, I thought. You could tell John was so happy to be back. He is on "Island 2" looking across to "his" island. John seems to have risen from the dead, or been reincarnated, etc., as we all had thought. I'm glad because he is one of the best characters on the show IMO. BTW, did you notice at the beinning of the show, the guy and girl from the plane were talking as they walked by the plane which seemed to be in the trees??? Did you notice that the plane was actually just a little off the RUNWAY....the one that Juliette mentioned The Others were building?? How the he$$ did Ben know they would need a runway???? Hmmm???? Also, how will Ben react when he sees Locke is alive. "Hey Ben, wakey wakey....eggs and bakey. Oh yeah, and Locke's alive, sitting right next to you." DUN....DUN....DUN....


So on to next week.....title of episode is LeFleur. If you watched the promo, you noticed the above scene with Sawyer and a mystery woman with a sack over her head. The big question is....who is it?? Is it Kate??? Is it Sun??? Is it Claire??? What a jaw dropper that would be!!! Can't wait till next week. Someone on the island, turn the wheel so we can flash to next Wednesday please!!
