Has Ben Always Been Good?

After last night's episode, I'm starting to wonder if Ben has always been good. I'm leaning towards yes. If you believe that keeping the island intact and functional is necessary, then he's never wavered. He might be a ass, but he's ass with a purpose (or something).

Twitter / Bill Simmons: The ABC-Cablevision feud: ...

The ABC-Cablevision feud: is Bob Iger playing Jacob and Jim Dolan playing the Smoke Monster, or is it vice versa? LeBron as Claire's baby?

... and The Kodak Theatre is the Temple ("He can't come in while the protector is alive!") Is anything else on ABC?

Sayid *is* Evil

When Yoko hands Sayid the knife he says "If there is still good in you, then prove it." I think only a good person can harm Fake Locke (and perhaps only an evil person, Ben, could kill Jacob). So it could be Sayid wasn't sent to his death after all.

Flash-sideways is more like a Flash-do-over?

Last episode left me thinking that the flash-sideways is NOT an alternate dimension/timeline that sprouted from the explosion of the Swan station. Alternatively, it's a flash-do-over ignited by Man in Black / Beardo / Fake Locke, in which the characters get their wishes granted and live their lives over again.

In Sayid's case, Fake Locke more or less promises that he could have Nadia back (which, in the 'flash-do-overs' is true, despite the fact that she's married to his brother.) For the others, Claire keeps her baby, Kate redeems herself by taking Claire to the hospital (and thereby properly uniting Claire with her son), Locke accepts his wheelchair conditions gracefully, Dogen is happily united with his son, and Jack turns out to be a good father (even though that pizza was like, cold for 2 hours when David finally finished his audition).

Ultimately, the flash-do-overs showcase that even though the characters all get what they wished for, their lives aren't necessarily 'better' or entirely 'different'. Kate's still annoying, for example.

Was this totally obvious? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

Season 6 is the new Season 1

I've had a lot of free time lately, so I've started re-watching everything from the beginning. I started this the week after the S6 premiere. What I'm finding is that with a few exceptions, S6 is tracking along nicely with S1. Now, some of that is definitely luck, as the number of S1 episodes I watch in a given week is anywhere from one to three, but somehow, the S6 episode that airs each week usually has a strong connection to whatever I watched from S1 recently.

For example, the first episode in each season after the premieres was Kate-centric. After that, an episode in each season about Jack. Then, an episode about Locke. S1 then goes on a three episode arc about Sayid, which only the most recent S6 episode seems to be Sayid-centric.

So far, that's where I'm at. The next S1 episode is about Claire, but the next S6 episode looks to be all Ben, so maybe my happy little convergence is at an end. Hmmm. I guess I'll have to motor through however many early episodes it takes to get to Henry Gale this week.

On another note, where the fuck is Sawyer?

Also, the episode I'm in will be episode 11 on April 6th! Watch for a blurry dude setting shit up on a (spoiler alert) stage. I don't believe I was setting up for Drive Shaft, but it is possible.

open thread: what do i need to know about tuesday's episode?

Believe it or not, thanks to travel schedules I missed this week's episode[1]. I'll probably have time to watch it on my flight home tomorrow night, but here's the thing: I WANT SPOILERS. I've already had a fairly in-depth briefing from fellow LOST-lovers David and Natalie, but I'll throw it out to the rest of the Fake Locke crew:

So... GIVE ME SPOILERS. What are the most important things I need to know about this week's episode, even though I haven't seen it?

[1] Yes, I know. Real fans watch.
