Lost: "Dead is Dead"

[Gogan]

Tonight's episode definitely started out with a bang.

Notes as I watch the episode...

- Ben steals Danielle's baby (Alex), and actually mentions the "whispers". First time we've heard anyone actually acknowledge them, which I thought was pretty huge.

- Gotta love how manipulative Ben is. I loved how he talked Caesar (the guy on the beach) that Locke was insane and would be a threat to them. Ben is my hero, in a twisted way.

- LOL, Ben blows away Caesar with his own gun. Guess his part on the show was short lived.

- I love when Sun and Ben discover the picture of the O6 taken in 1976!

- Wow, the showdown between Ben and Charles at the sub was great! Very interesting to see the source of tension between them. Very very revealing (though I'm sure there's more to it). "I'll be seeing you, boy" Nice!

- "It's not a train John. It doesn't run on a schedule" lol

- WHOA, Ben tracked down Penny!

- Love the roll reversal between John and Ben. Ben is suddenly the one blindly following, not knowing the answers to the questions. "Now you know what it was like to be me."

- WHOA, Ben shot Desmond!? Darn, he didn't kill him (which we knew from the earlier scene), and he didn't kill Penny either. =/

- WTF is up with the gun-toting plane crew? "What lies in the shadow of the statue?"

- The temple, and it's underground, is interesting. Wonder what the story is behind it. Looksl ike the monster dates back a long time.

- Ben getting judged was a pretty awesome moment.

- Whoa... Alex?? That can't really be her. Wowzer, Alex roughing up Ben and telling him to follow Locke was creepy!


Overall, amazing episode. The show is really getting back on track now. Things are starting to tie up nicely, and the blanks are finally starting to get filled in. Really like where they're going.
