Lost S5 E11 "Whatever Happened, Happened"

[Gogan]

Well, after a few weeks of boring episodes, I thought they delivered a GREAT episode tonight. We all knew Ben wasn't really dead, so it was no surprise that they had him alive within the first few minutes. Taking him to the Others was a great twist (though it makes total sense), and I loved how they incorporated that mysterious temple. Waking up to Locke was icing on the cake.

They finally explained the Aaron story, though I'm not sure why Kate made such a big deal about it with Jack when he confronted her about it earlier in the season. Not a terribly exciting storyline, but I found it kind of interesting nonetheless.

Hurley and what's his name talking about time travel was awesome. Very funny, and very interesting -- kind of like the writers were actually trying to explain it to the audience.

I loved the argument between Jack and Kate, when she was trying to convince him to save Ben. I loved how Jack is perfectly content to let things play out. The man of science has finally succumbed to letting fate do its thing. It's a huge development for the Jack character, and I like it.

Overall, not an action packed episode, or one with tons of "answers" or big shocking moments, but a fantastic character development episode.
