I'm Lost Again

First off, there were two mistakes in my previous post on Lost. The first is that I called Jack and his crew "the Oceanic 8". My bad...I should have said, the "Oceanic 6". Second, I quoted Eloise as saying "the island isn't finished with you" to Desmond. I believe she actually said "the island isn't done with you". Little things, but they have been bugging me ever since.

Now to the meat of this blog. A new Locke episode. I love Locke. I have missed him so while he has been in that coffin, and finally he is back. What a great episode; and yet, there are still many questions to be answered. At least we now know how Locke died, but why? Ben tries to save him, only to kill him in the end? My theory is that once you have been on the island, you are unable to kill yourself (remember Michael??), and Ben knew this. But why not just kill him immediately after he had talked him down from the table? Why did it take Locke's comment on finding Eloise to spur Ben into action?

And then there is still the question of who is really the bad guy...Ben or Widmore? I'm torn. The show seems to go back and forth with trying to make one of them seem worse than the other. Of course, this episode made Ben look evil...but still, I question that. He knew Locke had to get back to the island, maybe killing him was the only way to do that?

Now we have new characters, the wreckage of the Ajira Air plane, and Locke and the others on the wrong island...so much more to ponder! I am anxiously awaiting next week.
